The tradition that ND doesn't get scrutinized enough, is just because, well you know, they're NOTRE DAME!
Wow back to your same old material from NJ.com. I have to admit that after all these years I'm flattered that you're still following me around.
But yes pretend you don't have time to Google it. Obviously you did and didn't like the results.
There is parity in college football. Look at UCF. The landscape of Big Time College Football continues to change. The most important thing is that the players should receive a good education. Joe Pa was the leader in this capacity. James Franklin is continuing the tradition.
Not too many people like ND. But Jesus loves everyone.
Yep, that's exactly what happened. I googled it, found out you were right and I was wrong, and now I'm challenging you to google it and confirm it. Wow, where did you amass such intelligence?? How did you see through my ruse?? You're MUCH to clever for me Remoh. Im no match for you that's for sure.
Once again, im not following you around. "Years Ago" I was still in college kinda busy doing what I did so im not sure what you're referencing. Besides, I don't make it a point to creep on other men. That's cool that you swing that way, to each his own. Sadly Remoh, you and I don't drink at the same bars.
Yes there is parity and it's been going on for years. Sadly there are people that can't can't accept the fact that Boise State can beat Oklahoma. These same people believe that if any team other than USC wins the Pac12 the conference is weak and if anyone other than Michigan or OSU wins the B1G their schedule is suspect. It's the same for the Big12, everything is OK if Texas or Oklahoma wins the championship but if it's TCU they claim it was a fluke. It goes on and on and on.
Yeah yeah yeah since you're so into browsing people's timelines all you have to do is go back to the beginning of this forum and you'll find the things you brought here from nj.com, it was right around the time you decided you were a Georgia fan. Coincidentally around the same time the selection committee had a TV show.
I did. According to sagarin Alabama's SoS for 2015 was #1. 2016 was #1. 2017 was #27.
Your are free to dispute those SoS numbers with sagarin all you like. Teamrankings.com also has Alabama in the top 15 for SoS in 2015, 2016, & 2017.
Those are the numbers, though I am sure you will dispute them.
So for what reason do they get a free pass to the playoff? You know as well as I do that they are in no matter what. Their schedule sucked last year and it's worse this year.
Like I've stated above it's a lot easier to win a championship when you play a 3 game season.
I give you numbers that say Alabama's SoS (Sagarin) was #1 in 2015 & 2016, was #27 in 2017 and your reponse is "why do they get a free pass every year"? Another site consistently has Alabama in the top 15 of all SoS.
Even taking the lowest ranking in 2017, their schedule was better than 80% of all other teams. How is this a "free pass" every year? Two years in a row sagarin had them with the hardest schedule in football, and you're talking about a 3 game season? Wtf?
BINGO!!!! We have a winner. Thanks for playing along Remoh. Now, let's see who the spin doctor is. What took you so long Roam?? Im not a big Alabama fan but I was quite surprised when I looked it up last night and found that their schedule isnt as easy as I thought it was. Here is another interesting article I found:
Funny thing is the year that PSU was locked out of the playoffs because of an alleged weak schedule their schedule was ranked around#11.
P.S. This is 2018 not 2014. What Bama did four to five years ago should have ZERO bearing on the current season.
What nonsense is this? Your argument was clearly that Bama gets a free pass every year with a terrible schedule. I gave you facts showing that Alabama schedule was in fact very good for the past 3 years...
...and your response is that it has nothing to do with this year? You weren't just arguing about this year. You argument was clearly about how Alabama "year in and year out" plays a terrible schedule.
Though yes, past year performance should not count when the CFP ranks teams for this season.
Thanks for proving my point about the thought process in picking teams for the playoffs.
It really doesn't matter what Bama does, they're in no matter what because of what they did in 2014.
If PSU were to miraculously run the table and win the B1G it will immediately be dismissed as a fluke or luck and their schedule will be scrutinized to the point that it will be determined to be unacceptable.
It's not nonsense. Bamas schedule is barely top thirty this year and you don't see a problem with it.PSU was at least#11 the year they got locked out. Some even had their schedule top ten but for some reason you can't see the hypocrisy.I guess you also have no problem with West coast teams mostly being locked out if they're not named USC. Why don't we just put four teams from the SEC in? I mean it's the greatest conference ever according to ESPN which is basically the governing body of the college football playoff.
I will not argue that Alabama doesn't get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the committee, as I think they do. Wasn't arguing that at all. I think they, along with Ohio State, Clemson, and some others do. Some of it because of recent success, some because of history (Texas... How the hell were they #6????)
Regardless, my point was Alabama does usually try to schedule a reall good OOC game every year. However, this year yes.... Their schedule falls very flat. Best team they face is LSU, but after that maybe Mississippi State? Not a good schdule this year for sure.
It was absolute BS that Bama was even in the playoffs last year and were given the benefit of doubt only because of what they did five years ago. Until conference championship games become part of the playoffs and the loser is eliminated we will never have a true national champion. The fact that you can make the playoffs without even playing in your conference championship game is also BS.
Lmao! nice job posting a Bama homer article defending Bama. Like the majority of your posts I'll pass on reading it.i know it's doubtful but maybe someday you'll actually contribute something football related to this forum that's worthy of reading but for now it's obviously all about your obsession with remoh. Sorry that I get under your skin so much, maybe you should stop being such a hypocrite and practice what you preach " read it and move along". Obviously some things will never change.
Just like the good ol days at nj.com
I agree with you to a point. I do think non-conference teams should be in the mix, but not at the expense of a conference champion. A one loss team who's only blemish was to a top 5 team should have a shot IMO, if another conference has a 3 or 4 loss champion going who lost to unranked teams.
That's why I have always been for an 8 team playoff. I want to see 6 guaranteed spots and 2 wild cards: 5 Power Five conference champs, the highest Group of Five champ, and two wild cards. IMO it makes most everyone happy. Win the conference and you are in... Include at least one team from a "lesser" conference every year... Two wild cards so it keeps the regular season meaningful (continue to play well and you still have a shot)
Last year would have been:
Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma, USC, Ohio State, UCF, Alabama, & Wisconsin
I definitely agree on the 8 team playoff and most of the points you made. That would no doubt be much better than what we have today. I also firmly believe that if we stick with a 4 team playoff the only way of making it fair and legit is to make it a requirement that to be eligible the teams must participate in and win it's conference championship game.
Remoh if you don’t think Alabama is worthy of the playoffs and think they play an easy schedule just call Paul Finebaum and get his opinion lol
Yes I know you're a brainwashed Southerner that believes everything that ESPN tells you. I get kick out of you guys every time I'm in Florida and listening to the sports talk. Last time I was down almost everyone that was calling in was talking about the NFL teams down there and how they should only draft players from the SEC.
I was joking because everybody knows how much of a homer of Alabama Paul Finebaum is. Maybe it didn’t come off as a joke lol. I was really kidding around remoh lol
Remoh I was against Alabama gettin in the playoffs last year. Go back and you’ll see I thought it should’ve been Ohio st because they won the conference. We have 5 power conferences pick 4 champions and let them fight it out on the field. One conference champ will get left out but that’ll make it fun to argue about. IMO Alabama should’ve been punished for losing to auburn on the last game of the season. I’m not brainwashed like you might think. I’ve been very out spoken on what kind of scam the CFP committee is.
