Lack of SEC representation on playoff committee

[ConantheVolbarian]

Yankees have a big problem admitting that southern football is superior to what they play up north. It's always been that way. In the old days they wouldn't even play us. Then (tip of the hat) Bobby Bowdin started playing some of them in only away games. They called them "turf games". He cracked into getting them to play outside of the north and midwest. Kinda opened the door. Soon we had Penn St come down to Neyland. They were suppose to bury us. Had Franko Harris in the backfield. The Vols beat that a** so bad Paterno said he would NEVER play in Neyland again. And they never did.

The End

I was sitting in a bar a few weeks ago and an Ohio State fan was arguing that the Big 10 is as deep as the SEC and he got laughed out of the place.

My confusion? Tell me penn states big win. They have zero, the one big game they have a year they blew it at home. They don’t deserve to hold the jock strap of the top 5 sec teams and will get blown out in the playoffs, also they could be the reason the Vols do not get picked for the playoff. I wanna know how penn state has tricked you into thinking they’re worth a crap.

Ok, so both are 8-1. We have a better quality win but a terrible loss to an unranked team. They dont have a win like ours against Bama but they also only closely lost to the #2 ranked team in the country . To me that sort of offsets one another. I dont see the GLARING bias here. Could go either way to be honest.

After seeing the love fest the Big 10 is getting I decided to look at the makeup of the committee and noticed based on bios that there is a large contingent of BIG10 connections or connections to northern/western institutions…. Very few southern connections .. how is this possible? Shouldn’t there be equal representation?

Strange that Indiana who had been behind the Vols all season and still have no current top 25 wins, leaped ahead of the Vols in the playoff standings. University of Indiana graduate and staunch committee person Heather Dinnich tried to explain it with double talk. She was a great End & Guard for Indiana.
She sat at the End of the bench and Guarded the Gatorade.

If Arkansas was in the MID 10 they’d be an eight win team. The talent level is so different between the conferences the sec is on another level. If we played penn state we would crush them. So would 4 other sec teams. You realize penn state and Indiana even after they loose are going to steal 2 spots in the playoffs and that could leave our Vols out?

The glaring bias is they haven't beaten anybody and play one of the softest schedules you'll see. Do they deserve to be somewhere in the top 8 to 12 teams? Yes! But they're not a top 5 team. Not by a long shot.

Also, another example of glaring bias in regards to Penn State is how they keep getting the benefit of a doubt with initial rankings. How the heck do they keep coming into the season with top 10 rankings when they don't play anybody and usually lose the one tough game they play all year? It's an example of bias because they always get the benefit of the doubt with rankings when they haven't done anything on the field in years
