That was the semi, Ohio State beat ND in the title game@the-funeral-director Texas was in the championship game 2 years ago and lost to Ohio State.
Only 3 years ago when they went undefeated. Alabama scheduled them when they were pretty good.Well Well Well...I have been saying this for years...All this NIL has done is level the playing field...I am 100% for it...No cap no change no nothing...The SEC has gotten away with cheating by paying players for years...Now they don't have that advantage anymore and what do you know...They haven't won anything since and aren't going to in the foreseeable future...The next SEC national champ is going to come from the state of Texas as they are the only schools in the SEC that can compete monetarily with the money from the B1G schools...This is EXACTLY why Tricky Nicky Saban the fraud got out...His Dodge Chargers and buying houses for the big recruits don't hold the same sway it once did...The hand picking of 4 teams in a playoff so they could rig the thing to their favor is now over...Although they are bellyaching to make changes so they can fudge the seeding so they can avoid the debacle of the original 12 team CFP of them having to play north and get their rear ends kicked in...ESPN is their benefactor and they still hold a great deal of sway and that is why you see 12 teams from that conference in the top 25...This is why they tout the strength of schedule bullshit...Who do these guys play outside of conference? Well let me pull up Georgia real quick and see what their out of conference 2026 schedule is...Well they open up against 2 perennial powerhouses...Tennessee State and Western Kentucky...then they go to their regular conference schedule and finish up against Georgia Tech...So beating a team like Pitt or West Virginia as an out of conference game means so much? Seriously...Lets look at Bama...they got East Carolina, Chattanooga and Florida State as their out of conference games...When was the last time Florida State was good? Again the whole thing is a farce...B1G should get 4 teams in...SEC should get 4 teams in...Big 12 and ACC gets an automatic in and you put in 2 at large teams...This ain't rocket science...Since the 12 team expansion the SEC hasn't even had a team in the finals let alone win one...So why the deference to that conference who has done nothing since the 12 team expansion? What does that say about the rigged up 4 team setup that they controlled prior to that? I said that conference was a fraud for years and I am being proven correct...What warrants them to have 12 teams in the top 25? Other than the fact that ESPN has a business interest in their success...By the way...They are the only ones holding up the CFP expansion as well...They don't want to expand to 24 teams and everybody else does...Why do you think that is? I can tell you...They only want to play with themselves so they can yodel around about how great they are cause if they gotta play other people and get their asses kicked they will be exposed...That is what has happened to them the last 2 years...They don't want to have to come north in December and play football...The whole setup favors them...They play in the south at their stadiums and make everybody else travel...The funny thing is with all of it and they still can't win...
That said, they lost to FSU anyway! LMAO!
As for it being a farce... I mean, the CFP in 2 years has put 8 SEC teams in and 7 Big Ten teams, so really only 1 off of your 4 auto bid average anyway. Sure the SEC got 5 one year, and then got 3 another. Big Ten got 3 one year and 4 another. IMO that's not really a farce, seems fairly close to your 4 auto bid strategy anyway.
