These morons can't separate the top 2-3 teams from the rest of the conf. They literally do not understand why everyone says the sec as a whole is overrated.

Talking about the victories of teams everyone here agrees are good is irrelevant, but you're too dumb to understand why

You can't be serious. It's a rough ridin' popularity contest with ESPN running the gottdam campaigns.

send your sarcasm meter back for recal, bro.

like i said before, not many from AU particularly cares for the CBS or ESPN crew. see the phrase "math n crap" in retort to the insane "champions are born thing". if that is true, then by what abhorration of nature are you all here?

forgive me, oc... you were standing too close to that mouth-breathing sak and I erroneously lumped you into the same group.

well to be fair he has made a few points that you guys refuse to counter. I quoted one of them somewhere but cant find it. well may not have been him but I still cant find whatever it was with the search

still hoping for a cotton bowl rematch.

Good grief nobody is saying Auburn, Alabama, or even ATM are garbage. Mostly we are saying they are perennially overrated. And that if the parody in the SEC were anything like the Big 12 where we play everyone, more of the top teams would have 1-2 loss seasons rather than going undefeated. I respect the top 3 maybe 4 teams in the SEC but the huge disparity between them and the rest of college football that the media wants to push is a bunch of crap. You can talk all you want about what you think "proves" superiority but we are not buying. It's still subjective and too small a sample size to compare bowl games over a decade of time where dynamics change and powers shift. This whole argument is getting old and nobody is going to convince use one way or you another.

I guess I'm saying the top 2-3 Big 12 teams could walk into SEC and compete, just as the top 2-3 SEC teams could go into the Big 12 and compete. But I don't believe it would be the domination that everyone wants you to believe.

I have written a computer program, I usually give a season about 6 weeks before I run it. Its basically a quality win calculator where each div1 win nets a team 1 point. and that winner gets 1/2 point for all it's beaten opponents' wins. and then recurses to next level for 1/4 point, and so on down to like 64 levels is where I just cut it off. I developed it when AU was left out of the BCSCG in 2004, and my calc results agreed with the BCS. Ill run it again soon. There's no bias, polls, or any BS, just straight math. Every year proves the SEC is very rough ridin' strong.

Change it so Power 5 schools get more weight, then non-P5 FBS schools, then FCS schools.

well with the design, what you say isnt needed. if you beat a power 5 conf school, then you end up getting additional points for that power5 school's wins. (unless you suggest it needs even more weight) I just dont give any points for an FCS school, to punish a school for scheduling too much of a cupcake.

I think Sagarin has a pretty nice computer model. It's not perfect, but as long as everyone knows how to game it equally, I really have no problem just using his computer to rank the teams and fill out a playoff bracket. If the playoffs were expanded, just going with conference champions with no at large teams would be pretty nice, too. It wouldn't give us all of the best teams, but it would be a lot of fun.

P5 champs and 3 wildcards sounds the most fun

yes. AT LEAST 8, but 16 would be most fun IYAM... Probably a long way off.

We will not get to 16 in our lifetimes.

16 is too many, imo but whatever

I'd be up for 32 if we eliminated all the other bowls. And playing a team before doesn't change where you are slotted.

I'm of the belief that 16 and some sort of bowl structure for #'s 17-60ish would be ideal, but obviously it's not my choice.

The biggest challenge that I see with 32 is that the teams who wouldn't make the field wouldn't get enough games in total because of expanding playoff to 5 games for the champ game participants.

Make an irrelevant bracket for them...?

12 would be great with the top 4 getting a bye week, but 8 would be great too.

Coach Crowe sings the praises of Snyder; among other things he says "There is a reason his name is on that stadium."

EDIT: The post game analysis ends at the 13.00 mark.
