RE: The Worldwide Cheerleader: ESPN and the College Football Playoff
Good article. I was beginning to think I was the only one who understood how the fix was in. Rank as many SEC schools as high as possible so that when they beat each other they all stay ranked and ranked very high. Thus influencing the minds of the CFP committee. but all these P5 conferences need to sthu & stop crying. They are all a product of this system. It benefits them all. Any other team in the P5 with beginning of the season wins like ECU has would be in the top 10 by now. Back after the bigeast raided cusa, literally only 1 season after USF, Cincy & Louisville were in with us, they went from having to earn rankings to basicly being handed rankings. I'll never forget the hype for a game between USF & Cincy. Both were in the top 5,playing in Tamp stadium to a sellout. They had made the big time. Only to both be out of top 25 by mid season. But the teams that beat them all moved to the rankings. Now USF & Cincy are on the outside again. Not preseason ranked. Louisville however. In the ACC & ranked despite not one impressive win. Ranked just in time to play #2 FSU. The ranking system is a propoganda sham meant to make us believe we are watching great teams play. It's all for ratings & money.

I can understand their crying. When he sec plays each other and beats each other it is because it's the tough sec. When other conferences play and beat each other the conference is weak and overrated. Maybe I'm just tired of constantly hearing about the sec. No doubt they are a good conference. But, stop shoving it down people's throats. If they didn't do that and just let college football be there wouldn't be this stink about sec bias that there is right now. Jmo

SEC West teams are 24-0 against non conference opponents.
Yes...a lot are buy games, like every major college team plays.
Also included are Alabama over WV, Auburn winning at KState...to date KState's only loss, LSU beat Wisconsin, Mississippi beat Boise State and MEMPHIS!!, and even Arkansas won at Texas Tech, which indeed fell apart of late.
All SEC schools are certainly not great...Tennessee losing a high profile game at Oklahoma, Vanderbilt sucking, and Mizzou dropping a home game to pedestrian Indiana.
But Georgia beat Clemson, South Carolina gave East Carolina it's only loss, and even a down Florida and A getting better but still not great Kentucky team have zero losses outside the SEC. Yes, Florida will likely lose at FSU this season, and that singular loss will somehow trump all the other successes in the league for many...but...while I think missisppi for example is not as strong as a few other schools, there really is not any bias, simply a lot of really good teams. Maybe not the singular best team in the country...but more good teams, period. Everyone's anti SEV hero Oregon, outside of pounding good old Tennessee, lost there other games.
Let it play out. At most two SEC schools will play on..I predict two of Moo, Bama and Georgia, along with FSU and likely Oregon.

The quality of all the teams in the SEC West is insane. Not too long ago, it was the East that was insane.
