Title: If The Regular Season Ended Today
Post by: Snaggletiger on November 19, 2014, 11:31:42 AM
and your playoff participants were Bama, Oregon (TJSF), FSU and State....who would you pull for?

What if Bama and FSU squared off first?  Does your hatred of all things Bama trump wanting to see the rapist, thief, vandal, autograph signing, FHRITP screaming thug, crash and burn?  I have a feeling the survey would say 97.99% Bama fail.  I may be wrong.  What say you?

I think most of us would want State to beat Oregon (TJSF) simply to see continued domination by the SEC. Or could you not care less about the Dawgies from Starkvegas?

The most intriguing question is, if Bama and MSU matched up, would more than 7 people outside the two fan bases even watch?

As is stands, bama would play MSU and FSU would play Oregon. I would pull for MSU and Oregon with MSU to win it all.

I want to see us put a full game together and knock the turds out of the playoff.


But


If they make the playoffs, I would like to see Oregon hang about 50 on them in the first round.

Fuck the SEC.  I'm tired of these assholes. 

I would root for Florida State over Alabama and Oregon over Miss State. 

Then I would root for Oregon over Florida State. 

If it's Alabama vs. Miss State, I would root for Miss State then Oregon over Florida State then Oregon over Miss State. 

If the championship game is Alabama vs. Miss State, I would watch, and I would root whole heartedly for Miss State.

None of them. Hoping TCU or Baylor can get in and fuck up shit. Both of them are underdogs with coaches that I like. Flies in the ointment.

I can't argue too much with the top 4. Im not that high on FSU or Oregon but there is no dominate team this year so spots 1-6 are probably pretty close to each other.

But first, I'd like the Rapist to give AIDS to Yeldon...  after Yeldon tears his ACL and has to get his legs amputated from catching the Ebola.  I also wouldn't mind seeing The Rapist give crabs to Saban's wife.

zombie apocalypse. 

Don't want to see any of the four current choices play for anything.

Is that possible? 

Auburn beats Alabama
Ole Miss beats Miss State
Missouri beats Ole Miss (SECCG)
Arizona State beats Oregon (Pac 12 championship)
Florida, Duke beats Florida State? 

The problem is I think if we beat Alabama, it won't be a blowout.  If Miss State loses to Ole Miss, they'll have lost their last two big games meaning they'll be left out.  Missouri would represent the SEC in the playoff with two losses, but even then, maybe not with that loss to Indiana.  Georgia could slip in with two losses, but getting blown out by Florida doesn't look good to the committee.  To sum up, I think a two loss Alabama team could slip in as the SEC representative if they left Missouri out. See 2011's and 2013's final BCS rankings to learn more. 

Arizona State would go as the Pac 12 rep.  Ohio State gets in.  Baylor/TCU gets in.

So it's possible, and I am now intently watching on November 29th to see this scenario begin to play out.

To add on to what THS said earlier:

Fuck any SEC school that is not Auburn.  Even if it were MSU and Ole Miss in there.  I would root for whoever they are playing.  Only one other team out there that would make me root for another SEC school and that is Clemson and their bammer ass ways.  Unless they played bammer then you root for mother nature to win.  I still hold a grudge from 2010 and all the shit we took.  Fuck'em and feed'em fish heads!  The rest of the SEC can kiss my ass!

Everyone was screaming that we needed a playoff so that shit wouldn't happen again.  My point then was that a playoff actually increases chances of rematches from the regular season.  It really is no different now than it was then.  The system we have says the 4 best teams according to the committee are in.  If any of those teams happened to play each other during the season, then so be it.

There is a big difference Goat-Boy, in your rematch of THE GREATEST GAME THE WORLD WILL EVER BEAR WITNESS TO, Oklahoma State also had 1 loss and had just as much a right to have a chance to play for the MNC as bama did, except for the fact bama had already gotten beat by LSU. 

It would have been #2 bama vs #3 Okie State and #4 vs #1 LSU.  Then if bama won and LSU had won no one would have said shit.

Maybe Oklahoma State shouldn't have lost to Iowa State in the next-to-last game of the regular season.  That was the biggest knock on their resume, and it was late in the season.  Alabama lost 9-6 in OT to the #1 team in the country, and had 3 games after that to make up some ground.

You still both had losses, and you lost to the team you were replaying (ie why replay the game you had already lost, they already proved they could beat you), you will never win that argument. 

Especially not here.

Suck me if I'm wrong, but I think the committee, given the same set of circumstances as 2011, would have LSU and Bama 1 & 2. I've said multiple times, I hate the idea of this committee deciding but I have to give credit where it's due and so far, I think they've gotten it right.  And one of the criteria it's obvious they have used is looking at a win/loss and asking "Who was it against/to?"  They've done that several times already.  Auburn's loss was to MSU.  We stayed in the mix.  Bama's loss was to Ole Miss, then highly ranked. They didn't rip Bama too bad.  TCU jumped a bunch of teams after beating KSU.  Most people thought if Bama beat MSU, the committee would see the Bulldogs for who we all think they really are.  Nope, their only loss is to what is now the #1 team.  They stay in the playoffs.

Having said that, as much as I fricking hated the Bama/LSU rematch and taking my Turd hatred out of it, no way I give OSU the nod with a loss to Iowa State over Bama's 3 point loss to #1.

Different time and different format. This year having both teams in would be acceptable because ultimately two other teams get a chance to prove their worth too. In 2011, there were only two picked, and one had beaten the other. The rematch never should have happened in that scenario.

I would take it just like the Alabama fans do. However, it shouldn't have happened. It wouldn't have mattered if it was Michigan and Ohio State. In that scenario, the top two teams shouldn't come from teams that have played each other.

Same argument as before:  Why can't a team that was beaten by the best not be second best later in the season?  If those are the best two, those are the best two.  Just like now, the best 4 are the best 4 regardless of whether it produces a rematch or not.  If the playoffs started today, Bama would be playing MSU again.  Why?  I mean, we already know the outcome, right?

I get it, LSU was infinitely better than Alabama.  They should have won 10,000/10,000 if that game were played that many times.  So, I'm not sure how Alabama won decisively in the NCG.  I'm certainly not going to be an apologist.  If that shit happened to Auburn, you sure as shit wouldn't be either.  And you shouldn't.  If that's what the system dictates, then that's it.  No different than if the system said OSU should have played LSU, it wouldn't have bothered me.   

I don't see how you call it a bogus NC, though.  The system was designed to pair the top two teams according to the formula used to determine the top two teams.  No different than now how the system we have is that a committee picks who the top 4 teams are, and now there is an INCREASED chance of rematches in the playoffs.
