SEC Championship Game

where's the button we click on that creates a throat punch through the phone into a poster's face and flattens it?

@oxrageous we need this, STAT.

It’s called Zelle. I’ll give you my contact info.

we got @Alumni Guy reminding some of us of a double whammy: been too damn long since our last SEC Champ and the years are adding up and some of us are getting old.

Maybe some day way in the future, but not this year. I mean let’s face it, you see the impossible well before it ever happens. That’s what makes you so damn special.

He is, uh, "special". In fact, that meaning of the word is increasingly popular.

It can be done, but I need help from Elon Musk.

I have him on speed dial. I'll have him call you. Maybe he'll give a donation as well.

Having teams with 2 or 3 losses advance at the end of the season is fine when the schedules are full of good matchups every week. This has been an exciting season. FBS or Division 1 or whatever its called needs to whittle itself down to just a few conferences of decent teams and stop putting Middle Tennessee State and Mercer and Troy on the schedule.....ever. Way too many teams, especially in the ACC etc, have basically a "one game season" where they coast along every week against terrible competition.

History may show that 2020 Covid season where the SEC played league games only was the impetus for the sea change in CFB.

Meanwhile, the Big 10 has 4 of the top 5 playoff spots thanks to the top teams not playing each other for the most part, aside from Ohio State. It will be interesting to see what scheduling lessons will be learned from the playoffs this year. If the SEC gets anything less than 3 teams, then I fear the lesson will be to NOT have the top teams play each other.

Remember when we were supposed to have the hardest schedule in the history of college football?

Yep. And sagarin has ours at #5.

I'm not saying it isn't tough, just that it was a bit exaggerated.

well, some of the tough scheduled turned out to not be so tough (LSU for example)....FSU fuchsing that number up bigly too

We'll take full credit for the Mutts having the toughest schedule though

And others did better, like A&M and duh U.

Of course that was going to be how it went because the teams all have to play each other.

I think the noles being so down is the difference. Lsu and Uk being off is almost offset by miami and A&M being a little better than expected. Neither uga or ut are as good either, though they both seem to be just victims of the attrition of these new schedules. But yeah, it was always a “brand name” schedule and hasn’t exactly played out the way some expected. It’s also not unique to is(see uga) or this year. There may be certain years with slight variations, but this is our new reality. It’s why I said all along the talk of .500 was misguided, with the one exception being a trending team late centered around Lagway where we could argue that his team may have won some of those earlier losses. I think we have a chance to make that argument, but not yet.

Bumpidy bump....Well now that didn't take long....

BTW Texas gonna lose to TAMU at Kyle Field this week and then to whoever they play in the SECCG....Oh, who will BTW have 3 losses meaning there will likely be 2 or 3 SEC teams in the playoffs with 3 losses

Amazing how the future will be here before the end of this year, huh?

Listen, I know you think this is your moment of victory, so much so that you didn’t even wipe the Funyun remnants off your hands or the Polar Pop of some weird Mountain Dew variation you’re drinking, in your haste to respond. But that was my point. You prognosticated a week ago that something may happen at some point, when in reality it was already happening and all but a sure thing to be the case even this year.

I still think you’re terrific though.

That may be the case. I was specifically responding to your post last Sunday. And notice the laughing reactions. I was being sarcastic to your “maybe not this year” comment. Yes, it was in jest.
