@@RonTDBno but after notre dame stomped Indiana thats all anyone would bring up was how Alabama should have been in. Which after watching the Ohio state game they definitely shouldn’t have
Why bring up Bama? Oh yea, they live in your head rent free! I forgot. Crazy how Bama has to enter every discussion with you guys. Not a single Bama coach or player has complained about being in the playoff, yet ya'll still pick on them.
Alabama at its worst is bad. Alabama at their best can beat anyone: Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Ohio State. You can’t say that about SMU, Indiana, Arizona State and Boise State. We need only Teams who can beat anybody in the Playoffs. Maybe that’s 8-12 Teams but not this year’s 12 teams. I’m a 50+ year Ohio State fan.
If Tennessee has so much talent, then why did they lose to Ohio state worse than Indiana did? Because talent isn’t the only thing that matters. This guy is so biased toward SEC
Come on man. Now you’re doing the apples to cheeseburgers. I don’t care about the talent argument. I just wanted to say you cannot compare that osu team and what they had to play for against Indiana to the team and stakes Saturday night.
Tennessee is very likely the 5th or 6th best sec team. Their one good win was vs a bama team that was hot or cold all year. South carolina is probably a much better team than tennessee. Their defense alone just statistically was far better against the pass.

Josh Pate is right, guys like Middlekauff want the CFB playoff to be a Netflix show that maximizes their personal entertainment, not a competition. Let's just cancel the regular season and put the top 12 recruiting teams in the playoff if the only thing that matters is the amount of NFL players on the field.
I really don’t think that’s it. The issue is that the committee is putting too much weight on the wrong things and it led to inferior teams with better records being included. First year, it will get better.

Dude, the historically best team in the Big 10 beat a mid tier SEC team. I don't care if Tennessee is 10-2, they are mid-tier forever. Nick Saban beat Tennessee 15 years in a ROW. Kirby Smart has NEVER lost to Tennessee. Let that sink in.. Once you do, you will realize, it's not impressive when 5 star tOSU beats them. tOSU is on the level of Georgia & Alabama talent wise. They have NFL/SEC talented players all over the field. Like literally, what are you talking about? With that said, pound for pound, he is right, the SEC is way better than the Big 10.

Ohio State has proven they can go south and BEAT a SEC team in their territory, yall can’t win a game up here 🤷🏻♂️
@@HTHAMMACK1 yup. completely inflated by sec bias and useless preseason polls. Two overrated teams play and one has to win, that winner is now the best thing on the planet. Tennessee season was defined by beating a 3 loss Alabama then got skull drug by Ohio State. meanwhile people are still saying bama and other teams got left out. smh
As a UT fan, I have zero problems with Indiana and SMU getting in. To all the butthurt Bama fans, don't be the reason that Oklahoma and Vandy make a bowl game, and then we can talk about you guys being screwed.
If you are gonna put teams in the play off just based on talent, then why even bother playing games? Just rank the teams early in the season based on recruiting and don’t even bother playing 12 games a season
Exactly, still gotta play games and the 3 SEC teams lost 3 games. You can have all the talent in the world but still not won games. Look at the Bengals and 49ers this year. Top talent but just not going there way. Do they get a free pass in the NFL just cause they have top talent?! Lol no way.
In a ways, that’s basically what the BCS was and you could get away with it because people genuinely gave up on the notion of their teams ever being national championships so instead were all in on just making and winning a bowl game. We don’t live in that reality anymore, just as improbable as it is for a wildcard team to win it all in the NBA or MLB or NFL, it’s not THAT impossible to win as a lower seed in the CFB, were not going to see super teams like Alabama anymore
College Football is about rewarding excellence and the clear best teams, not about who is most deserving. SMU and Indiana had no business being invited to the playoffs over Alabama and South Carolina.
@@Thegigachad248why didn’t they? Alabama lost to 2 6-6 teams and South Carolina lost to every decent team they played all year accept A&M and Clemson. Let’s not forget Alabama lost to Tennessee a team just got boat raced by 30.
I know the dude on the right didn’t say “I can live with the Tenn game because they belong but I look at Indiana and they didn’t because I never see them in the playoff picture” brother why play a regular season then if the losses don’t matter. Tenn never belonged if Indiana did not belong. And if they didn’t belong South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Alabama surely didn’t belong. Get over it, the SEC has trash offenses this year and the B1G has the three best teams in the country.
He sure did…..! The cognitive dissonance is real. Then the clueless SEC apologist forget that Tenn had one of the highest SOS’s this year. But hey…..”SOS has to matter!” 🤷🏾♂️
@@Nowledgeman incorrect Missouri had the weakest SEC SOS this year. Either way, AGAIN the point you missed is the “narrative”. If ANYTHING you make the position of the original comment MORE valid. As an ND fan that has ZERO love for OSU…I can still be honest and objective with what I see! Tenn got the worst beating of ALL the first round teams. However, no uproar about who didn’t “belong” in the playoff as it pertains to the Vols! It’s intellectually lazy and disingenuous by media outlets like this to 💩 on the “little guy” and give a pass or try to argue that a 3 loss team was somehow “more deserving”. Just due to conference affiliation, historical perception or SOS. There’s ALWAYS been blow outs in the playoffs! 12 teams or 4….it doesn’t matter. Handle business on the field and there’s no debate! But hey….it’s your story…. Tell it how you want to!
So Colorado could beat Indiana? Go ask Matt Ruhle and Nebraska who they would rather play again. How can this dude be taken seriously about college football. Stick to the pro's. Seems he has a better grip on that. What happens if Notre Dame slaps Georgia around. Will he retract his thoughts on Indiana. Something tells me he won't. And I still don't know why he's such a self proclaimed Buckeye hater
He is a homer for the West Coast programs. He hates--especially--the Big10, and it's flagship program, Ohio State. He said Tennessee was going to win the game.
My question is if Trump takes Canada and makes it the 51st state will we get some Canadian nfl and ncaaf teams? Ottawa Oilers BC Bulldogs Saskatchewan Bread Baskets Manitoba Marauders Cold cold games. People might die. Would be a question at least. Ratings bonanza.
Exactly, he doesn't kno2 shit about college football. Tennessee got dog walked. So why do you think ole miss would do better ? Tennessee is getting a pass just like Alabama got the shit beat out of them by Oklahoma.
Colorado got destroyed by Nebraska 28-10. Indiana blew Nebraska off the map. To say that they are better than Indiana is just not logical! To call the big 10 a bad conference is just wrong. Tennesse GOT DESTROYED by ohio state. To imply Tennessee lost because their qb is laughable, they couldnt run, ohio states dline shit on the oline. Jeremiah smith won ever 1v1 ball. Emeka egbuka open every play. Tennessee linebackers couldnt even touch Treyveon Henderson. LACK OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE FROM JOHN HERE.
That guy on the right is so annoyingly biased in love with his SEC love buddies. I would have given the thumbs down but then I saw it's Colin's UA-cam channel. If I see that guy on the right on his own UA-cam channel, I will vote Thumbs Down for him.
Indiana gave Ohio State a MUCH better game than Tennessee did. I don’t understand why SMU and Indiana are getting crap when they were more competitive in their playoff game than Tennessee was. And no one is saying Tennessee did not belong. 🤔
@@hollis4th No, it doesn’t. But if everyone gave Texas crap about their performance against Michigan, and no one said anything about they way Ohio State performed against Michigan, it would be hypocritical. Which is the original point, try to keep up please, I can’t hold your hand through the whole conversation.
The difference is nobody was saying fire Ryan day going into the Indiana game vs if Tennessee won the Ohio state fans would’ve probably dragged Ryan day out the door as the fans was already threatening him and his family after the Michigan loss lol
If you are talking about college football and the words "nfl draft picks" exit your mouth, you shouldn't be talking about the sport. Part of being a good team is winning games and being consistent. If you lose 25% of your games, you don't deserve to be there. Record is the ONLY way to evaluate teams. Imagine you were a high school football team that won every game, but got left out of the playoffs because some committee just "felt" like someone was better than you because they had more guys sign with colleges.
So an undefeated team that doesn't play any top 25 teams should be considered the best team in CFB? Record means nothing when the quality of opponents can vary so wildly. Strength of schedule is everything.
@@DetectiveTrupo203strength of schedule is bullshit when you’re losing to vandy and by 21 to Oklahoma only scoring 3 points. Then realizing Tennessee wasn’t even good. So stop with that bs
SEE : 2016 Penn State SCREWED from Playoff.....Big 10 Champions...BEATING anOSU being left out of 4-team Playoff because "The Committee" said, "Even though Penn State BEAT anOSU and Top-10 Wisconsin in Big 10 Championship Game to WIN the Big 10 and Penn State deserves(earned) it...we still think anOSU is a 'better' team."
9:08. “I’ve never watched this program”. Yeah we can tell. Even when they were undefeated playing Ohio State on big noon kickoff, this guy didn’t watch the game. Why are people who don’t watch college football talking about college football.
I swear Colin argues with himself. He just a couple weeks ago was saying that Alabama and Clemson stacking the deck can’t happen anymore because of the NIL, now he’s arguing that Alabama and Clemson proves you can’t have upsets?!?!
Right! I don't care if we got blowouts this past weekend. I'm not crying for these "bubble" teams, which failed to handle their business. Colin and this other guy just apparently want to make the regular season totally meaningless. That very flawed 9-3 Alabama team, for example, was not going to win a natty this year. Bama's in the same boat as SMU, Clemson, Indiana etc: all flawed teams.
@ exactly winning the games have to matter. You can’t beat one or two good teams then lose to teams who it shouldn’t be close to then try and say well we beat these teams tho.
"Tennessee's quarterback was throwing the ball all over the field"....14/31 for 104 yards is hardly throwing the ball all over the field. It would just kill these guys to admit that an SEC team didn't belong in the playoff just as much as Indiana or SMU
We’re still supposed to treat Indiana losing as evidence of them being overrated, but Tennessee just played a bad game? These are such tired arguments. These guys don’t know any more than the rest of us.
Plenty of blow-out games early in the NFL playoffs too. Many NBA teams get swept in the early rounds. So what? That doesn't mean we only take the top 16 teams in March Madness because the other 50 don't have a shot to win it. Collage playoffs have been great so far. In-state Indiana game .. SMU traveling to the cold .. SEC team in Columbus .. former Texas 5-star QB's battling in Austin. Sounds good to me.
this was such a hit piece on indiana. talent isn’t the only thing that wins games. there have been several NFL teams to not have a true signature win that snuck into the playoffs
It could be, but PennState, NotreDame and Texas are very good in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The reason Tennessee, SMU,Indiana and Clemson got hammered is because they got overpowered at the line of scrimmage. Look at the difference in those games in the rushing areas. These next games I think Texas wins big and I think Oregon and Ohio State is close and Notredame and Georgia is close.
Are they better than Colorado?!?! My brother in Christ, Colorado got HANDLED by Nebraska...who was like the 4th or 5th to the bottom team in the Big10. Indiana THROTTLED that NU team. My word the overraction by the pundits on this weekend has been crazy lol
Everyone forgets that Will Howard had a really good game against Oregon. Everyone just focuses on the last play look up the his stats in that game. He played great.
Oregon wasn't a complete team yet that time. And they didn't have Burch and one of their receivers got ejected. Plus, Oregon is way better now than last time they met
I can say the same about OSU. Just wanted to say I think Oregon got screwed in the bracket. OSU we get what we deserved. Should be a good game. GO BUCKS
@ for sure. I can agree with that. Y’all played Tennessee, we played penn st in big 10 champ. So ya whoever win is on that dirty path. But..as Dan lanning would say, who gives a fuck, just win. Good luck brother and GO DUCKS 😎
@@tonychandley1309~ Ohio State LITERALLY lost two games already. If Oregon goes undefeated all year and runs this gauntlet, it'll be the best season in college football history
@@NIKE-Duck nah, OSU took the Vegas instructions and lost to Michigan with the promise to win it all in exchange. Day saves his job, the fans back off and Vegas made an absolute boat of cash on that 10-13 "game". OSU will go through 3 SEC Teams and avenge the Oregon loss on the way to win it all.... this also sets the precedent that whomever spends the big dough gets the natty. More money = more hype for sport.
@8:48 “I don’t have a problem with Tennessee getting their A#% kicked because the talent discrepancy isn’t as bad” wtf??? So having better talent and getting beat worse is positive?? wtf is this guy smoking😂 Such a 🤡 take.
Don’t lose 3 games, no matter the conference. SEC isn’t as dominate as people make them out to be. Also, they fail to mention Tenn getting blown out, with all of their so called pros.
It's the system they ALL agreed to before the season even started!!! WHO imagined that Indiana would go 11-1?!?!?!!! Or SMU would contend for the ACC Championship?!?!!! EVERYONE thought it would be...Big 12 Champ; AAC Champ; B1G Champ; SEC Champ; and the remaining 8 At-large Teams being 1 Group of 5 Champ (Boise); then the remaining 7 At-large divided between the SEC and B1G. I believe the Group of 5 Champ had to be in the Top 16 to be included, which Boise was. Otherwise, there would only be P4 teams in the Playoff.
Could you imagine if Georgia and Texas had to play in the elite 8? I could hear finebaum squealing already. Kiffin would be on his couch burning up Twitter and it wouldn't even involve his team. It would be hilarious. I know Oregon is new to the conference but I've gained a lot of respect for them. Haven't heard any complaints from them. Not a peep. They definitely made the right choice coming to the big ten. They wouldn't be a good fit in the SEC. Never whining. No Chattanooga or Mercer for a late season snack on the schedule. They would be a fish out of water in the SEC
Thanks for making up a scenario to justify shitting on what is clearly the BEST conference. Your inferiority complex -and lack of CFB knowledge - is showing. (check strength of schedule from any source you would like. The of the list will be dominated by SEC teams. Don't let facts and and reality get in the way of a good rant though. Folkson the internet never do.)
@@SO-jp6gh nah! I live in the present on earth. Nothing I said would indicate otherwise. Now, your comment suggest you live in a fantasy world, where - like the OP - you can just make things up.

Is Will Howard going to play like that against Oregon? You obviously didn’t look at his stats from the first meeting this year, because he did in that game.
These guys long for the days of one or two teams being able to buy off all the talent coming into college and making every year boring and predictable.
@@ColonelCarnage true, the 12 team playoff is more for a team like Ohio State who had one bad game and would have been done, now still has a chance. It isn’t for the 12th best team to make a run.
Disagree. there are a lot of teams, like to 2015 buckeyes that woulda dominated the playoffs. Keep in mind it was controversial that the 2014 team got in the playoffs and the steamrolled Bama and Oregon. The 2015 team was better.
I had a bama fan tell me today that they could not only beat Ohio st but that bama defense line is better then Tennessee but there is no such thing as sec bias 😭😭
Once again bashing the ACC when Tennessee was pathetic. The SEC should have only had 2 teams in. Ohiobstate would have Diddy walked any team in the SEC.
It is completely asinine to suggest Colorado is better than Indiana because of two great players. They got bullied by the same Nebraska team that Indiana smacked around. The “NFL Players” argument is ridiculous. It’s a team sport with 24 variables on the field
You are fools ! The SEC sucked this year ! Sick and tired of the SECaa crying about the portal when they have been buying players since the late 1960’s. Then you have eSECpn pushing and promoting the SEC so we don’t need you two promoting them too ! 🤬🤬🤬
Tennessee also got in and got their crap rocked way harder than Indiana. I dont understand, would it have made you feel better to watch alabama get waxed by notre dame? Because we already saw them get waxed by OKLAHOMA. Indiana won 11 games. Alabama did not. End of story
The big 10 is taking over college football.. the sec had 1 advantage and that was Greg sankey.. he let the sec pay players while no one else could.. now all schools can, we see the sec falling off
What they are saying is nonsense. It doesn't matter who plays in the first round, so I'm not upset with Indiana and SMU. What shouldn't happen is giving a team a pass based on their history -- such as Alabama. Just because some of the first round teams lost, doesn't mean they shouldn't have been in the game. It's one thing to have it like the four-team playoff. When it was expanded, the intent was to allow more teams to have a chance (SMU, Clemson, etc.)
Indiana scored garbage time points in the last three minutes after being held to three points and only one Redzone trip through the first 57 minutes Indiana was dominated and looked completely overwhelmed.
Indiana had 9 first downs with 5 minutes left in the game…..9. Notre Dame played prevent from the moment they got the score to 27-3. That game was not as close as the score indicated.
Texas spent 22M, OSU 20.2M and LSU 20.1.M. Those are the only teams who spent over 20M. UGA was 4th with 18.3M. Oregon's actual spending is anyone's guess.
@@gonzokaepernick8155 that’s exactly where I got my information! Oregon spent 23 million,Texas spent 22.2 OSU 20.2 and LSU spent 20.1. Maybe you should take your own advice and actually do the research. What’s your source?
If John thought any part of Tennessee belonged in that game then we watched 2 different games. Tennessee's defense were so outmatched Ohio State could've won by 50 if they had kept their starters in. Howard was throwing for over 10 yards per pass attempt and completed 24 of 29 and that was in the frigid cold where the ball is hard as a rock. But here's what no one is talking, in a smaller playoff, even an 8 team playoff, Ohio State wasn't even top 2 in the Big 10, they wouldn't have gotten in to the playoff and now they're Colin's pick to win it all. Any other year Ohio State would've played Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl or something and that would've been the end of their season. We would've been sitting here wondering what would've happened if Ohio Sate had gotta chance to play for the title. Also I think the home playoff game is simultaneously cool for the playoffs and horrible. Some of these venues are just too cold to have a good game.
Wait… cold weather is a huge part of football. It’s a game created and flourished in Northern Ohio. It’s as much part of the game as the gear they play in.
I’ve been using the chart showing how much money the roster cost. It’s been really accurate predicting who going to win. The school that spent the most will play the school that raised the second largest amount,for the championship. Who needs sports analytics. Just follow the money.
I played 10 years. I did it,I understand it. Great teams win most of the time,they all falter. The worst team out there can beat anyone on the right day. I really just enjoy watching the young men play hard,I understand loses,yet still support the men. Everyone out there playing is a winner in my book.
You both have valid points. But I doubt Alabama this year would have done much better than Tennessee or Clemson. Also, the final four teams will be the best four in college football this year.
Not sure who this guy is, but his argument doesn't make sense. Forgives TN getting blown out because of "bad QB" play, even though the whole team was getting beat. Whereas, SMU was very much in it on defense and offense if not for their QB completly succumbing to the situation.
Tennessee was the slowest team Ohio State played all year. They didn't belong on the same field. Can we please stop pretending middle of the pack SEC teams are any good?
let’s end right now the fiction that the games that are played in domed stadiums or stadiums in fair weather areas are at “neutral sites.”. They aren’t. They heavily favor teams from the south like Alabama and Georgia and heavily disfavor teams from the north like Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State.
Middlekauff might as well wait for April and see who got the most guys drafted and then hand that team the title. Hell why wait that long, just hand out titles who who recruited better the previous year
Yeahhe really is pretty decent. I wonder though if bad variance is gonna cause them to lose this playoff. Unlucky drops or bad rolls etc. They haven't had much of that this season
All of the SEC dog whistling is crap. Bama lost 3 games. Two of them were to basement dwellers and the other was to the team that got dogwalked by OSU. Ohio State finally put it all together. It took being embarrassed by Michigan for them to cleanse all the BS from the team and coaches and just step on the gas. Nobody is stopping that Buckeye team if they continue to show up. And Oregon paid more for their team btw.
If we go off of SOS almost solely, this will cause the majority of teams not to be even in contention... I can not wait until the SEC just sucks one year and they don't even have someone in the playoffs... All these people are just trying to make excuses to get bama in no matter what (dont even try to lie)... Record has to matter... If you lose three games and everyone else only lost one, you should not be considered even if your team name is Alabama period...

Ohio State has proven they can go south and BEAT a SEC team in their territory, yall can’t win a game up here 🤷🏻♂️
This might be the worst football conversation I've ever heard.
It's sad isn't it? Ho-ly!
So frustrating to listen too
Indiana is better than Tennessee. SEC is grossly overrated this year.
No, they aren't.
@@HTHAMMACK1 yup. completely inflated by sec bias and useless preseason polls.
Two overrated teams play and one has to win, that winner is now the best thing on the planet. Tennessee season was defined by beating a 3 loss Alabama then got skull drug by Ohio State. meanwhile people are still saying bama and other teams got left out. smh
It really depends on the strengths of the teams.
A lie doesn’t care who tells it.
Nebraska and Michigan are better than Tennessee
As a UT fan, I have zero problems with Indiana and SMU getting in. To all the butthurt Bama fans, don't be the reason that Oklahoma and Vandy make a bowl game, and then we can talk about you guys being screwed.
DAMN!!! I'm in SHOCK!!! an actual Southerner speaks Truth to fiction!!! Something's up?!?!? Jesus must be coming back soon!!!
@ We despise Bama and Ole Piss. I wouldn’t cheer for either of them if they were playing Russia!
If you are gonna put teams in the play off just based on talent, then why even bother playing games? Just rank the teams early in the season based on recruiting and don’t even bother playing 12 games a season
Exactly, still gotta play games and the 3 SEC teams lost 3 games. You can have all the talent in the world but still not won games. Look at the Bengals and 49ers this year. Top talent but just not going there way. Do they get a free pass in the NFL just cause they have top talent?! Lol no way.
In a ways, that’s basically what the BCS was and you could get away with it because people genuinely gave up on the notion of their teams ever being national championships so instead were all in on just making and winning a bowl game.
We don’t live in that reality anymore, just as improbable as it is for a wildcard team to win it all in the NBA or MLB or NFL, it’s not THAT impossible to win as a lower seed in the CFB, were not going to see super teams like Alabama anymore
College Football is about rewarding excellence and the clear best teams, not about who is most deserving.
SMU and Indiana had no business being invited to the playoffs over Alabama and South Carolina.
@@Thegigachad248why didn’t they? Alabama lost to 2 6-6 teams and South Carolina lost to every decent team they played all year accept A&M and Clemson. Let’s not forget Alabama lost to Tennessee a team just got boat raced by 30.
Been saying this since the playoff started. Ppl are acting like there weren’t blowouts in nearly every playoff since its inception.
I know the dude on the right didn’t say “I can live with the Tenn game because they belong but I look at Indiana and they didn’t because I never see them in the playoff picture” brother why play a regular season then if the losses don’t matter. Tenn never belonged if Indiana did not belong. And if they didn’t belong South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Alabama surely didn’t belong. Get over it, the SEC has trash offenses this year and the B1G has the three best teams in the country.
None of them belonged. 12 teams isn't necessary
Agree plus schedules change every year and it doesn’t mean you should go because you have more NFL players
He sure did…..! The cognitive dissonance is real. Then the clueless SEC apologist forget that Tenn had one of the highest SOS’s this year. But hey…..”SOS has to matter!” 🤷🏾♂️
@BigMonty686 lightest in the sec... Still harder than Indy and smu
@@Nowledgeman incorrect Missouri had the weakest SEC SOS this year. Either way, AGAIN the point you missed is the “narrative”. If ANYTHING you make the position of the original comment MORE valid. As an ND fan that has ZERO love for OSU…I can still be honest and objective with what I see! Tenn got the worst beating of ALL the first round teams. However, no uproar about who didn’t “belong” in the playoff as it pertains to the Vols! It’s intellectually lazy and disingenuous by media outlets like this to 💩 on the “little guy” and give a pass or try to argue that a 3 loss team was somehow “more deserving”. Just due to conference affiliation, historical perception or SOS. There’s ALWAYS been blow outs in the playoffs! 12 teams or 4….it doesn’t matter. Handle business on the field and there’s no debate! But hey….it’s your story…. Tell it how you want to!
Nebraska was with Ohio State until the last drive of the game, Tennessee was out after 5 minutes in the first.
If it wasn't for Caleb Downs making 2 one on one underrated open field tackles OSU lose that game💯
So Colorado could beat Indiana? Go ask Matt Ruhle and Nebraska who they would rather play again. How can this dude be taken seriously about college football. Stick to the pro's. Seems he has a better grip on that. What happens if Notre Dame slaps Georgia around. Will he retract his thoughts on Indiana. Something tells me he won't. And I still don't know why he's such a self proclaimed Buckeye hater
He is a homer for the West Coast programs. He hates--especially--the Big10, and it's flagship program, Ohio State. He said Tennessee was going to win the game.
Yes Colorado would beat indiana
My question is if Trump takes Canada and makes it the 51st state will we get some Canadian nfl and ncaaf teams?
Ottawa Oilers
BC Bulldogs
Saskatchewan Bread Baskets
Manitoba Marauders
Cold cold games. People might die. Would be a question at least.
Ratings bonanza.
Exactly, he doesn't kno2 shit about college football. Tennessee got dog walked. So why do you think ole miss would do better ? Tennessee is getting a pass just like Alabama got the shit beat out of them by Oklahoma.
He's a joke
Colorado got destroyed by Nebraska 28-10. Indiana blew Nebraska off the map. To say that they are better than Indiana is just not logical! To call the big 10 a bad conference is just wrong. Tennesse GOT DESTROYED by ohio state.
To imply Tennessee lost because their qb is laughable, they couldnt run, ohio states dline shit on the oline. Jeremiah smith won ever 1v1 ball. Emeka egbuka open every play. Tennessee linebackers couldnt even touch Treyveon Henderson. LACK OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE FROM JOHN HERE.
SEC fans are not known for being smart or logical.
That concentration on John Middlekauf's face.
Bro is trying to visibly see ants from a 10 mile distance.
That guy on the right is so annoyingly biased in love with his SEC love buddies. I would have given the thumbs down but then I saw it's Colin's UA-cam channel. If I see that guy on the right on his own UA-cam channel, I will vote Thumbs Down for him.
Indiana gave Ohio State a MUCH better game than Tennessee did. I don’t understand why SMU and Indiana are getting crap when they were more competitive in their playoff game than Tennessee was. And no one is saying Tennessee did not belong. 🤔
I’m a Buckeye fan and I absolute 👍 agree
does Texas being better against Michigan make Texas necessarily better than Ohio state?
@@hollis4th No, it doesn’t. But if everyone gave Texas crap about their performance against Michigan, and no one said anything about they way Ohio State performed against Michigan, it would be hypocritical. Which is the original point, try to keep up please, I can’t hold your hand through the whole conversation.
@@mortiz7051 SEC fans have zero logical thinking ability. They think with their emotions and bias down south.
The difference is nobody was saying fire Ryan day going into the Indiana game vs if Tennessee won the Ohio state fans would’ve probably dragged Ryan day out the door as the fans was already threatening him and his family after the Michigan loss lol
If you are talking about college football and the words "nfl draft picks" exit your mouth, you shouldn't be talking about the sport.
Part of being a good team is winning games and being consistent. If you lose 25% of your games, you don't deserve to be there.
Record is the ONLY way to evaluate teams. Imagine you were a high school football team that won every game, but got left out of the playoffs because some committee just "felt" like someone was better than you because they had more guys sign with colleges.
So an undefeated team that doesn't play any top 25 teams should be considered the best team in CFB? Record means nothing when the quality of opponents can vary so wildly. Strength of schedule is everything.
@@DetectiveTrupo203strength of schedule is determined by preseason rankings. So we are basing everything off opinions again.
@@EnjoyerOfWater ... no. It isn't. It's constantly changing based on how every team plays. Throughout the season it is recalculated after every week
@@DetectiveTrupo203strength of schedule is bullshit when you’re losing to vandy and by 21 to Oklahoma only scoring 3 points. Then realizing Tennessee wasn’t even good. So stop with that bs
SEE : 2016 Penn State SCREWED from Playoff.....Big 10 Champions...BEATING anOSU being left out of 4-team Playoff because "The Committee" said, "Even though Penn State BEAT anOSU and Top-10 Wisconsin in Big 10 Championship Game to WIN the Big 10 and Penn State deserves(earned) it...we still think anOSU is a 'better' team."
9:08. “I’ve never watched this program”. Yeah we can tell. Even when they were undefeated playing Ohio State on big noon kickoff, this guy didn’t watch the game.
Why are people who don’t watch college football talking about college football.
I swear Colin argues with himself. He just a couple weeks ago was saying that Alabama and Clemson stacking the deck can’t happen anymore because of the NIL, now he’s arguing that Alabama and Clemson proves you can’t have upsets?!?!
We are blaming the committee instead of bama ole miss etc going out and losing to teams they shouldn’t lose to smh
Right! I don't care if we got blowouts this past weekend. I'm not crying for these "bubble" teams, which failed to handle their business. Colin and this other guy just apparently want to make the regular season totally meaningless. That very flawed 9-3 Alabama team, for example, was not going to win a natty this year. Bama's in the same boat as SMU, Clemson, Indiana etc: all flawed teams.
@ exactly winning the games have to matter. You can’t beat one or two good teams then lose to teams who it shouldn’t be close to then try and say well we beat these teams tho.
"Tennessee's quarterback was throwing the ball all over the field"....14/31 for 104 yards is hardly throwing the ball all over the field. It would just kill these guys to admit that an SEC team didn't belong in the playoff just as much as Indiana or SMU
I mean he wasn’t wrong. He was throwing the ball, sadly it was to the turf.
We’re still supposed to treat Indiana losing as evidence of them being overrated, but Tennessee just played a bad game? These are such tired arguments. These guys don’t know any more than the rest of us.
Plenty of blow-out games early in the NFL playoffs too. Many NBA teams get swept in the early rounds. So what? That doesn't mean we only take the top 16 teams in March Madness because the other 50 don't have a shot to win it. Collage playoffs have been great so far. In-state Indiana game .. SMU traveling to the cold .. SEC team in Columbus .. former Texas 5-star QB's battling in Austin. Sounds good to me.
Right just bc there were lop sided games don’t mean they shouldn’t be played bc then everyone would be complaining about teams getting snubbed
That’s what I’m saying I’ve never seen playoffs all be close games lol people really are acting like little girls about everything.
Still unwatchable tho
@@66fredo99 I enjoyed watching all of them. Sorry you didn't.
this was such a hit piece on indiana. talent isn’t the only thing that wins games. there have been several NFL teams to not have a true signature win that snuck into the playoffs

They knew they needed Oregon and OSU on the same side of the bracket. Otherwise, no SEC team in Championship.
Huh lol wym no sec team in championship
5:50. There’s no actual way he compared Colorado to Indiana lol. Colorado lost 28-0 to Nebraska, Indiana beat Nebraska 56-7
Different points of the year. Colorado is way better than they were at the beginning of the year.
The SEC should just make their own showcase so everyone has a participation trophy.

The Oregon Ohio State game might be the national championship game
*is
That is correct. Whichever one wins will be the champion.
Neither one of those teams are winning the Championship
@@GeorgiaSwagthey are the 2 best teams by a mile
It could be, but PennState, NotreDame and Texas are very good in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The reason Tennessee, SMU,Indiana and Clemson got hammered is because they got overpowered at the line of scrimmage. Look at the difference in those games in the rushing areas. These next games I think Texas wins big and I think Oregon and Ohio State is close and Notredame and Georgia is close.
Did this guy even watch the game? Tennessee’s “NFL” players got smoked, so, nice argument buddy…
What people are forgetting, this will spread out talent over time it we create better games
Yep!
The Oregon draw of OSU illustrates the flaw in automatically giving the 4 byes to 4 conference champs. This should change.
Indiana would have slaughtered Arkansas....likely Missouri.....Miss State....Kentucky...please plenty of dogs in the SEC too.
Indiana isn’t as good as people thought but those sec teams suck. Arkansas lost to the worst team in the big 12 lol
Remove Arkansas and Missouri 🤣🤣🤣Kentucky even iffy
And yet beating teams like that is what propped up Texas to be a top 5 ranked team.

Everyone forgets that Will Howard had a really good game against Oregon. Everyone just focuses on the last play look up the his stats in that game. He played great.

Day saves his job, the fans back off and Vegas made an absolute boat of cash on that 10-13 "game".

What? 10.5 million. Where did you get 23 million?
@8:48 “I don’t have a problem with Tennessee getting their A#% kicked because the talent discrepancy isn’t as bad” wtf??? So having better talent and getting beat worse is positive?? wtf is this guy smoking😂 Such a 🤡 take.
Tell your guy, Oregon actually has the biggest payroll. Do research before speaking.
They don't. They're not even in the top 10
Don’t lose 3 games, no matter the conference. SEC isn’t as dominate as people make them out to be. Also, they fail to mention Tenn getting blown out, with all of their so called pros.
He’s right about why an undefeated Oregon has to play Ohio State while Penn State plays Boise State??
It's the system they ALL agreed to before the season even started!!! WHO imagined that Indiana would go 11-1?!?!?!!! Or SMU would contend for the ACC Championship?!?!!! EVERYONE thought it would be...Big 12 Champ; AAC Champ; B1G Champ; SEC Champ; and the remaining 8 At-large Teams being 1 Group of 5 Champ (Boise); then the remaining 7 At-large divided between the SEC and B1G. I believe the Group of 5 Champ had to be in the Top 16 to be included, which Boise was. Otherwise, there would only be P4 teams in the Playoff.

Could you imagine if Georgia and Texas had to play in the elite 8? I could hear finebaum squealing already. Kiffin would be on his couch burning up Twitter and it wouldn't even involve his team. It would be hilarious. I know Oregon is new to the conference but I've gained a lot of respect for them. Haven't heard any complaints from them. Not a peep. They definitely made the right choice coming to the big ten. They wouldn't be a good fit in the SEC. Never whining. No Chattanooga or Mercer for a late season snack on the schedule. They would be a fish out of water in the SEC
Thanks for making up a scenario to justify shitting on what is clearly the BEST conference. Your inferiority complex -and lack of CFB knowledge - is showing.

@@ColonelCarnage true, the 12 team playoff is more for a team like Ohio State who had one bad game and would have been done, now still has a chance. It isn’t for the 12th best team to make a run.
Vegas handicaps the teams,by the spreads, more accurately than all the talking heads.
Disagree. there are a lot of teams, like to 2015 buckeyes that woulda dominated the playoffs.
Keep in mind it was controversial that the 2014 team got in the playoffs and the steamrolled Bama and Oregon. The 2015 team was better.
I had a bama fan tell me today that they could not only beat Ohio st but that bama defense line is better then Tennessee but there is no such thing as sec bias 😭😭
I’m glad SMU and Indiana made it. Not regretting it at all
The fact that you said normally you would never watch an Indiana game shows that this CFP is sparking interest and therefore making CFB better.
Once again bashing the ACC when Tennessee was pathetic. The SEC should have only had 2 teams in. Ohiobstate would have Diddy walked any team in the SEC.
A rematch of Oregon vs ASU would be some pac 12 magic.
Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina would have all gotten boat-raced by Ohio State just like Tennessee just did.
It is completely asinine to suggest Colorado is better than Indiana because of two great players. They got bullied by the same Nebraska team that Indiana smacked around. The “NFL Players” argument is ridiculous. It’s a team sport with 24 variables on the field
I love watching these two future NFL GMs. Awesome stuff. Would some intern please refill Colin’s glass?
You are fools ! The SEC sucked this year ! Sick and tired of the SECaa crying about the portal when they have been buying players since the late 1960’s. Then you have eSECpn pushing and promoting the SEC so we don’t need you two promoting them too ! 🤬🤬🤬
Appreciate you Colin 🙏🏽
Tennessee players didn't even look the same and was slower then ohio state
I'm still scratching my head over Ohio State's loss to Michigan (a 6-5 team).
Tennessee also got in and got their crap rocked way harder than Indiana. I dont understand, would it have made you feel better to watch alabama get waxed by notre dame? Because we already saw them get waxed by OKLAHOMA. Indiana won 11 games. Alabama did not. End of story
The big 10 is taking over college football.. the sec had 1 advantage and that was Greg sankey.. he let the sec pay players while no one else could.. now all schools can, we see the sec falling off
The talent argument got thrown out the window when ole miss loss to Kentucky and bama lost to Vandy
What they are saying is nonsense. It doesn't matter who plays in the first round, so I'm not upset with Indiana and SMU. What shouldn't happen is giving a team a pass based on their history -- such as Alabama. Just because some of the first round teams lost, doesn't mean they shouldn't have been in the game. It's one thing to have it like the four-team playoff. When it was expanded, the intent was to allow more teams to have a chance (SMU, Clemson, etc.)
Osu is finally hitting their stride and they have 11 days to recover. Let’s go
Rose Bowl is not a neutral site. That is a PAC-12 location. Oregon will get the majority in the stadium.
We’re Ohio state nobody travels like the buckeyes , and the largest fan base nationwide , where’s Oregon ? 😊

Yeah because owner of Nike went to Oregon he funds them
You really think it's going to be hard for Penn State to get up against Boise state? You can't be serious, it's the fk'n playoffs 😂

Do these experts realize Indiana lost by 10 pts. and Tennessee lost by 25 pts. What are they talking about?
Indiana scored garbage time points in the last three minutes after being held to three points and only one Redzone trip through the first 57 minutes
Indiana was dominated and looked completely overwhelmed.
Indiana had 9 first downs with 5 minutes left in the game…..9.
Notre Dame played prevent from the moment they got the score to 27-3. That game was not as close as the score indicated.
All kind of criticism on Indiana for getting drilled but not near as much Tennessee- oh yeah , they are a blue blood sec team , different rules 🙄
I respect both of you,but Oregon and Texas has spent more in NIL than Ohio State
Nope
Google is a friend b4 you comment nonsense
Texas spent 22M, OSU 20.2M and LSU 20.1.M. Those are the only teams who spent over 20M. UGA was 4th with 18.3M. Oregon's actual spending is anyone's guess.
Oregon is dropping Phil Knight bags. They are big too. 💰
@@gonzokaepernick8155 that’s exactly where I got my information! Oregon spent 23 million,Texas spent 22.2 OSU 20.2 and LSU spent 20.1. Maybe you should take your own advice and actually do the research. What’s your source?
@ so what’s you proof to prove me wrong or are just in denial! Why would I make something up like that?
Good thing we finally went to a Playoff to end all the controversy about who deserves to play for a championship. 🙃
If John thought any part of Tennessee belonged in that game then we watched 2 different games. Tennessee's defense were so outmatched Ohio State could've won by 50 if they had kept their starters in. Howard was throwing for over 10 yards per pass attempt and completed 24 of 29 and that was in the frigid cold where the ball is hard as a rock.
But here's what no one is talking, in a smaller playoff, even an 8 team playoff, Ohio State wasn't even top 2 in the Big 10, they wouldn't have gotten in to the playoff and now they're Colin's pick to win it all. Any other year Ohio State would've played Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl or something and that would've been the end of their season. We would've been sitting here wondering what would've happened if Ohio Sate had gotta chance to play for the title.
Also I think the home playoff game is simultaneously cool for the playoffs and horrible. Some of these venues are just too cold to have a good game.
Wait… cold weather is a huge part of football. It’s a game created and flourished in Northern Ohio. It’s as much part of the game as the gear they play in.
I’ve been using the chart showing how much money the roster cost. It’s been really accurate predicting who going to win. The school that spent the most will play the school that raised the second largest amount,for the championship.
Who needs sports analytics. Just follow the money.
I played 10 years. I did it,I understand it. Great teams win most of the time,they all falter. The worst team out there can beat anyone on the right day. I really just enjoy watching the young men play hard,I understand loses,yet still support the men. Everyone out there playing is a winner in my book.
Once we get to the point where it's all sec or big ten teams or whatever it'll be, the sport is ruined. Let's not do that. 😅
You both have valid points. But I doubt Alabama this year would have done much better than Tennessee or Clemson. Also, the final four teams will be the best four in college football this year.
Vandy beat Bama..... Im pretty sure Indiana has a chance lol
Ohio state was #5 2 weeks before they beat Alabama in 2014
Not sure who this guy is, but his argument doesn't make sense. Forgives TN getting blown out because of "bad QB" play, even though the whole team was getting beat. Whereas, SMU was very much in it on defense and offense if not for their QB completly succumbing to the situation.
Please tell me how the SEC was so good this year Notre Dame beat A&M Miss Tate lost to fucking Toledo.
I predicted all 4 teams at home would win. They did. Ohio state looked the best.
2014 OSU enter the B1G championship as a #6 DOG!!
We know how that ended. They played with and rowed BAMA and OREGON
Football is a team game and coaching matters. That's why we don't rank college teams based on player NFL potential
So odd seeing Colin actually giving Ohio State some love
OSU and Texas are the media sweethearts. Imagine if he gave Oregon love.. the #1 team in the country
Tennessee was the slowest team Ohio State played all year. They didn't belong on the same field. Can we please stop pretending middle of the pack SEC teams are any good?
let’s end right now the fiction that the games that are played in domed stadiums or stadiums in fair weather areas are at “neutral sites.”. They aren’t. They heavily favor teams from the south like Alabama and Georgia and heavily disfavor teams from the north like Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State.
OSU will beat Oregon, Arizona State will beat Texas, Boise will beat Penn State, Georgia will beat ND
I don’t like OSU btw
Middlekauff might as well wait for April and see who got the most guys drafted and then hand that team the title. Hell why wait that long, just hand out titles who who recruited better the previous year
Quinn Ewers came to OSU his freshman year, Texas didn't allow NIL money yet, then went home to Texas for his sophomore year. Glad he got homesick. 🎉
This guy also picked Tennessee to win handily. He didn’t walk that back. No creditably what so ever. SEC HOMER!
