Except it does, that’s why the Bamas of the world have those high strength of schedule numbers because they beat mid SEC teams that are ranked. And the committee goes by SOS, SOR, and top 25 wins. It’s easy to pile those up when teams like Tennessee are ranked for no reason. That’s all I’m saying. Bama obviously doesn’t need any help as they prove it on the field but if it was a different team like Miss State it’s the difference of them getting in over another team.

There’s no perceived bias. There’s actual bias
. But if it’s easier to downplay it then go ahead

I don't think it's a conspiracy that they keep certain teams floating on the backend of the Top 25 to help certain teams resumes just in case it's needed
is what it is
is what it is

I'd rank 7-4 Tennessee ahead of 9-2 Iowa all day long and sleep just fine.
But yall do you.

Down play your opinion?
All day.
There is nothing to prove an SEC bias.

Let's not kid ourselves, next season there is going to be more controversy with the at large teams that get a bid. We could very well see one or even two SEC teams with 3 losses get in over a one loss deserving team that has a key injury maybe even to a non-QB.

Honestly, some of those mid tier SEC schools are probably beating everyone in the Big Ten not named Ohio State, UM and maybe Penn State.

7-4 Clemson was also ranked that week. That’s still a pretty far cry from (I don’t even want to call hyperbole because it’s just such a dumb take) a 3-9 and 4-8 team being ranked.

It’s only a problem when 2-loss Ole Miss hovers around the top 10…but Penn State being the exact same team results-wise is perfectly placed.

7-5 is ridiculous but 7-4 at the time Tennesssee still being ranked in the top 20 after losing 3 of 5 was a choice by the committee, and one with a clear intent behind it.
Damn my browser hadn't updated. Just saw everyone else cited the exact same example

No way Avery leaves? Part of Howard bouncing was because they had two starting QBs and were gonna go with the younger guy (Johnson.) That'd be dastardly if you NIL him away from them too lol.

7-4 Clemson also had wins against ND and UNC who were ranked at the time so yeah that makes a bit more sense than Tennessee.
Also you can’t be dense enough to think I was serious about 3-9 and 4-8 teams being ranked, right?

Lol, I just checked and ok they were in the top 21. That nullifies everything else I said.

Do we have to give literal one to ones for hypotheticals the point to get across? If this is the defense then it’s a pointless exercise

You got it, man. Purely my opinion and no actual statistical evidence that would show that the SEC isn’t carried by two teams at the top that the middle and bottom reaps the benefits of
. None at all

If you have no examples, then I agree it’s a pretty pointless exercise.

Oh, you definitely didn't ride this way when tmay was playing this game with "Are they LITERALLY all 30 year olds? 25 isn't 30."

As they should. Liberty literally had the worst schedule in the nation (133rd out of 133 teams). A nine win LSU team is better than an undefeated liberty team.
