I disagree 100%…. You earn your bye…. It’s by being the conference champion…. If you are 11-1 and from the toughest league in the country…. You should have no issue whipping these lower rated teams from these “weak” conferences.

The way to go is eliminating divisions and have the teams with the two best records in each conference play in the conference championship games.

Sloppy platonic love is still cringe.

Somebody sounds jealous....

I honestly see it the exact opposite. I think this is a better match up for us than Kansas St. I'm not sure who will opt out for us but barring a large number of opt outs and injuries I think we will be fine against Clemson. I really don't think they're that good on either side of the ball.

I agree with you. K-state scares me. Veteran QB. Good skill players. Tough on both sides of the ball. They are accustomed to playing faster tempo teams as well. Better than their record.

Clempson is not. Even as good as the young QB is, the lack of experience will cause problems with SEC level speed. I see them as an 8-4, 9-3 SEC level team.

Wildcard - officials as usual. We need to come out and physically dominate. Joe needs to take a chill pill and let everybody else be hype.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I would be excited to face these guys if we were full strength.

And would love if they were playing DJ still.

But I still love the matchup.

I think we can dominate them on the ground and then through the air.

They will score but not enough. Our D line will get pressure.

The Citrus Bowl almost always ends up being one of the few good games during bowl season. The Outback or whatever it is now is also a good game.

I believe they are saying they will eliminate divisions when Texas and OK join the league and the top two teams will play in the SEC championship.

I live in a ski condo. If I walk around naked outside it will be in a common area. You landed gentry have all the privileges. Or do you live in Russia?

Break out the orange pants for this one. Can’t let Clemson have all the orange.

Give me all whites in Miami like Tony Montana

Teams tamper all the time…. We are reaching out to guys as well.

It’s not tampering when we do it.

 

[BigSteve09]

DJ U won't be there for the bowl game so they *will* be starting the better QB (that should have started for them all season)

 

[SmokeMSJ]

 

[Volunteer821]

Yep…. 3 girls out today but still pathetic…. Kellie Jolly’s teams use to play great defense but they can’t even do that any more.

Yeah they look lost on both ends of the court. No identity on offense or defense.

Landed gentry? Try a poor, simple serf. But being naked is my God-given right. If we were meant to wear clothes, we'd be born fully clothed.

Yes, the for every conference make the conf champ game the first round of the playoffs. Then have the 2 highest ranked G5 teams play in that round as well.

Hard to know who to cheer for in the Cheez-It Bowl. Can Oklahoma and FSU both lose?

 

[volbeast33]

Each conference determines it differently though. UT was the second seeded team in the SEC if there aren’t divisions. There is no uniformity, and seeding and home field do matter in the playoffs. You should be rewarded for “winning more games,” especially in a tougher conference. Just because you win 1 game at the end of the year gets you a better seed? Doesn’t even happen in the NCAA basketball tournament. Teams should be rewarded for their body of work.

So you would rather have a committee determine that Alabama had “better losses” so they get a bye week instead of each conference setting the bye games on the field…. I prefer the conference champs getting the bye game.

It wasn't about the lady vols bro, read it again.

If it was it would have had a like from @bignewt .

I’m fine with that but conferences get to pick how they determine their champion.

What time is the M'Pemba commitment? Thought it was at 5.

I don't know about the other guys, but I'm saying that a ty 8-4 team that won a four way tie for first in their conferences weak division and then lucked out a win in their conf championship game does not belong in the NC field....much less deserve a freaking BYE in that field....period.

Doing away with divisions will vastly lessen the chance of that happening.

Then they should not automatically get a spot in the National Championship tournament. Winning a ty conference shouldn't get you into a limited field to start with.
