With OSU getting pile drived by Iowa and Penn State losing again, who gets in and who can beat the turds?
OT Playoffs

If you want bama/UGA to lose, you want to see Clemson/Oklahoma types in. Not Wisconsin/Notre Dame/Miami.
Clemson and Okie have flaws but they have the raw talent to play big and their QBs can be problems. I think the other teams get mauled no matter how off bama might be that day.

Yep. Ain’t a single squad from the B1G or PAC 10 beating bama. Best case scenario if you’re hoping for the bams to lose is for a B1G team to sneak in and get the 2 or 3 slot so that they have to go through Clemson and Oklahoma.
What’s funny to me is when the SEC beats each other like the big 10 did today, it’s all about how tough it is to win in the SEC.
When the big 10 does it, it’s because it’s a weak conference

Yep
edit - What gets me is they still want to talk about how tough the SEC is and ua and ga have very crappy sos in my opinion.
I don’t see anyone having any chance to beat bama this year. Kudos to them on another chip.
The SEC had an argument there 5 years ago. Not anymore, although I still think the B1G is pretty weak. I’d say the ACC is the best conference top to bottom. The SEC is kind of in a weird spot thanks to bama. I really don’t know whether to give them credit for keeping the SEC in the conversation or to hate their guts for hoarding all the top talent in the region.
Superior offensive philosophy imo
Narrative has changed some recently to be honest. SEC doesn’t get the pass it used to get. In fact most national pundits have been on and off claiming BIG 10 and ACC as better.
I think it’s mostly even. But I also think OSU is the only B1G team that could beat a bama or Clemson in a title type game. They have the horses. I don’t see any other teams holding up along the lines.
UA (and shit show Athuletic Departments) has really screwed up the dynamics in the SEC. ACC and B1G are both better top to bottom the last few years.
Coaching alone should show this to be true. The SEC had been filled with Butch, Bert, Gus, Sumlin, and Shark Humper. The better of the coaches not named Saban and Bowl cut have been at weak SEC schools where they can only do so well - Moose, Mullen, and Stoops. This has/is created/creating a top West Team/East Team with a bunch of bowl eligible teams that bring in a bunch of revenue and false hope.
Most of those guys well well regarded or thought to be potentially good hires. Sumlin was getting big $$ NFL chatter at one point. Butch was recruiting well and ppl assumed he was going to be solid. Bert was a steal for Arky though many questioned the fit of trying to out-physical a division with LSU and bama.
Lots of fail in that group with Gus. And it’s not all just due to Saban being awesome. Someone should have made the move to be the stalking horse at least. Instead they all started doing dumb things on a regular basis.
Sumlin is the weirdest thing to me. He must just be terrible at managing attitudes and personalities once he gets dudes on campus. And must genuinely suck at QB development too. Dude signed like 3 or 4 5 star QBs and not one of them has panned out and multiple ones have left the team. So fuggin weird. Takes a huge idiot to screw up that much talent
Sumlin also signed Kenny Hill, started him, and ruined him too. Now that kid is leading a top 10 team at TCU
Sumlin is easily the biggest headscratcher to me... when he had it rolling with Johnny Football combined with all the aTm money at his disposal plus the expected crooting boost from the new SEC cachet, I thought he was awakening a sleeping giant
I can’t believe how terrible they’ve been since Manziel left

AM and UTx remind me so much of AU from a meddling standpoint. Look at Strong. He couldn't get anything going at a top 5 list of best colleges and yet has had success at Louisville and S.Florida. Only thing I can conclude.
