Penn State has a better strength of schedule than Texas and Tennessee. You act like 32nd is a travesty when Indiana is sitting there with 100th and Texas at 56th. Outside of Georgia, Texas hasn’t played anyone either and they lost that game at home by more than what Penn State lost to Ohio State by.
@@vulcanraven9701 illinois is ranked, you can say the same thing about Missouri, Vanderbilt, essentially the entire bottom of the sec. Just win your games and you won’t need to worry about making the playoff, it’s really that simple.
4:14 they expanded both the SEC and the Big Ten with top teams from other conferences. Penn State played West Virginia, USC, UCLA, and Washington this year. Those would historically be looked at tough non-conference games. Not their fault the teams didn’t turn out to be very good.
@ it was Illinois when they were ranked, usc the week before they were unranked, wisconsin at their place who almost beat Oregon and even Washington who beat Michigan
Why don't we just rank everyone by strength of schedule only. Let's get Florida, Mississippi State, and Kentucky in there. Such strong schedules it's insane. That's all I need to see, we don't even need to see the regular season. I'm confident that these teams will succeed in the playoff because their schedule is just super strong.
Sec teams play CUP CAKES AS WE SPEAK! What about when Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State were without question beating each other, yet they were not rewarding them.
Must be smoking something good! You have 2 great teams, 2 average and the rest of the conference stinks! The SEC has 6 teams that could end up 7-2. PennSt and Oh St are where they are because they have not played anyone. SOS for Ind is 106, that is your 4 th best team. 14 of the top 26 SOS belong to the SEC. SEC is the strongest conference, not just 2 team top heavy.
@@Boxing_leprechaunA&M doesn’t impress me. They haven’t played a top tier SEC team. What’s their best win? Missouri? LSU? Lost to South Carolina, and avoided playing Bama, Georgia, Tenn & oleMiss. They didn’t even have to play Vandy.
@@Boxing_leprechaunA&M has a tougher schedule and better wins than ND…. And more respectable losses. So maybe they deserve a berth over ND with 2 losses and an easy schedule!
@ Illinois is now ranked, so PSU does have a win over a ranked team. Indiana will play @OSU next week. A little more difficult than Army if you ask me.
One way to avoid loses, not to play good teams. Georgia played 4 top 10 teams. Oh St 2, Ind is a joke, or we shall see. I think Oh St beats them by 14-21
The SEC collectively has done a fat wad of nothing in nonconference play. Beat 1 ranked team. 1! Despite only playing 8 conference games which means they play more nonconference games than anyone else! B1G has lots of mediocrity as well but they’ve beat 3 ranked teams out of conference. SEC has done zero to earn props THIS year, period
And the Big Ten even can’t play each other. Besides Oregon playing Ohio State and Oh St playing PennSt, which Penn St lost at home, there has not been another good game! The SEC has 2 top 10 teams playing every week!
Penn State has a top 40 strength of schedule. Only lost to the number 2 team BY 7. Prior to the USC game the week before we played them the MEDIA RANKED THEM 11th. We come back and beat them in the road when everyone thought we were done for. Oh, USC is a bad team. Illinois was ranked, we beat them. Oh, it’s Illinois. People want to say, oh this team is better, this team is. Penn State is ranked number 4 because they beat everyone, but the number 2 team in the country and they only lost by a TD. Tennessee has 2 losses and one was to an unranked Arkansas, Bama has 2 losses and one was to Vandy, Ole Miss has 2 losses. Only speaking as a Penn State fan, I’m not defending Indiana, but Penn State is ranked 4th because we’ve only lost 1 game by 7 points to a really good team, on top of that we do not have a weak schedule. It isn’t death row, but we aren’t playing Indiana’s schedule. Logic. The committee is rewarding Penn State for losing to Ohio State, ESPN is full of clowns. The committee is recognizing that Penn State’s only loss was a respectable loss to a top 3 team in America. A 1 loss team being ranked higher than a 2 loss team makes sense.
@@frankmathews Absolutely, tey neve play anyone but Ohio State and they can never beat them. This is a down year for Ohio State and they still didn't even score a offensive TD against them. SAD
I think the graphic on strength of schedule definitely proves that it’s just harder to win in the SEC. You can hate on them all you want, but facts are facts. You can complain about an 8 team conference schedule and cupcake week, but the SEC’s SOS is still better than yours. Perhaps people should start looking at their conference and start asking why aren’t we more competitive or balanced?
Sec is not as good as they were 3-10 years ago. Big ten has the crown. I don’t see a great team in the sec. They are all mediocre just as the big ten. Oregon looks to be the top dog this year sorry. And psu will make quarter final for sure
Given the "strength" is calculated week-by-week, we''ll see the SEC strength weakening a lot when all games are played. LSU, Mizzou, SC should all be unranked, weakening Ole miss to drop out or at most, the lower part of top25, then this becomes a domino effect, dropping all but the champ out of the playoff.
Then they will stop talking about it. The SEC starts over ranked, so their strength of schedule looks better early. As it dips, this talking point goes away. I hope they remember that the SEC created the good loss narrative. Now they gotta live with it.
The Big Ten is the best conference in college football this season, followed closely by the SEC. If the selection committee chose the 12 best teams, the CFP would include Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Indiana, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and there really isn't a 12th best team because there are a lot of teams that could fill that position, but it would have to be Boise State because of the close game with Oregon.
Some people are just ignorant. 14 of the top 26 schedules belong to the SEC, and 6 teams should be 7-2 at the end in the SEC. There are 5 teams in the SEC that can win it all, 2 in the Big Ten. The Big ten is top heavy, but garbage otherwise, once Oh St destroys Ind. if I am wrong, and Ind wins I will be shocked!
Michigan alum here. I love the Big Ten but cannot stand how often Penn State is propped up. They beat every team they are “supposed” and quite literally never win a game against opponents who are equal or better (see previous games against Michigan and Ohio State over the past decade). When they inevitably make the playoff at 11-1 without beating anyone noteworthy, they will 100% lose their first round matchup if it’s against one of the SEC teams that make it. The jury is still out on Notre Dame because their schedule has also been a joke.
@@RodneyBost-gw6eo You’re 100% right. Michigan was notorious for losing games against good teams outside of the 2021-2023 magic window. Just like Penn State, they would always go 9-3 or 10-2 with the losses always being teams that were better on paper
I mean they’re about around the 8th or 9th best team in any given year since 2016, almost every team would have lost to OSU and Michigan either home or away for the last 3 years we simply aren’t equal teams were a step above Penn State, and Michigan was simply a step above Penn State. Now when Penn State is 11-1 and get a home playoff game there’s no doubt in my mind that they could beat whoever they match up with in that environment. as for Notre Dame they already beat Texas A&M on the road who might make the playoffs they are legit
It sounds like these guys want to penalize teams for not being able to control their schedules. For example PSU. They can’t control usc falling out of the rankings before the matchup or Illinois continuing to lose after the win.
When asEC losses to SEC they are a good team it’s so funny. How about they play 9 conference games instead of having 3 bye weeks. I’ve seen every SEC schools struggle vs cupcakes. And because vandy beat Bama y’all think they are good😂😂😂 it blows my mind how delusional SEC people are. Yes it is the best conference but this year it’s a bunch of average teams
At least 7 of those 9 conference opponents are cupcakes. The season is almost over and there are currently NINE big10 teams who can’t win more than 5 games. And you actually expect ppl to be impressed by that??? Pipe down 😂😂🫵
I guess the overwhelming point to take from all the comments is that people think that just because you are in the sec, you should get an automatic bid to the playoffs. Sorry, big ten is better this and last year. 4 teams from each makes sense, let the best team win!
ESPN just can't get over it nor themselves. They have been harping on this now for 2 weeks! THIS is why we have a playoff of 12 now. The polls are pointless and mean nothing. The top 12 will become clear in the next 2-3 weeks and then its game on.
Accidentally came here looking for the upload about SEC Men's Basketball teams being ranked too high. they did pick Purdue and Indiana 1-2 and neither are in the top 10 although the two have owned SEC teams head-to-head thus far. Where is that upload. Just stop already. 😂
If you look at USC beating LSU, that is what set the bar between Big 10 and SEC. You see LSU beating UCLA by couple touchdowns then you have Indiana beating UCLA by 4 touchdowns! I can see how they are using LSU as how to scale big ten schools to sec schools! You have LSU beating ole miss who beat Georgia, it’s going to be difficult how to rate all these teams!
Notre Dame literally played five ranked opponents in a row last year, Alabama‘s out of conference play is Mercer? USC voluntarily chose to play LSU smack them around Notre Dame voluntarily played Texas A&M smack them around. The SEC only plays itself and rarely ever goes out of conference. Notre Dame does not have control over zone schedule to certain degree. They required to play five ACC games a year for their other sports to be a part of a conference. We voluntarily chose to play FSU who was undefeated last year thinking they’d at least be a six and 473 team this year, Louisville is always really good for an ACC team. Everyone cries the Notre Dame doesn’t play a conference when they’re actually playing in a partial conference with the ACC with the required five games and if I’m correct, Notre Dame is 27 to join partial conference games 27 wins three losses ACC in the last four or five years.
SEC schools shouldnt lose to Vanderbilt and Kentucky. While i agree that UGA and their #1 ranked SOS is underranked... PSU has better SOS than the top 2 (currently) rated SEC teams...
The Big Ten is the best, for years ESPN and the final 4 BCS favored teams from the SEC, that is a fact and cannot be denied. Cry me a river SEC Pee on you. Maybe every BIG TEN team should PLAY Mercer sometime at the end of their season. Cry Cry Cry.
Ah the sec where teams complain that just because they played tough teams and lost they should be in. Fact is if Georgia couldn’t beat Tennessee at home they wouldn’t deserve to be in. Yes ik they beat Texas but Texas hasn’t beat anyone either😂
What is IU suppose to do, lose? IU happens to be better this year than other years. How is IU's SOS helping them when they played the two teams that was in the championship game as well as playing Ohio State? Why all the hate on something they can't control? I guarantee you that the views against Ohio State will be the most watched game this year over every team that has played. Over Texas, Alabama, Georgia and whatever name team you want to add.
Actually it’s more the reverse. OSU beat itself many times during the game and it could have been a 14-21 point victory. Penn State never really had the chance to win, even though they got out to a 10 point lead,
@@charliegriffey7773 you must be an Ohio State fan, OSU looked like the better team but PSU quite literally left 21 points on the field… (two drives inside the 5 that resulted in 0 points and the taunting penalty that resulted in an OSU touchdown)…
Byu is so disrespected its not even funny how are they behind miami, smu (who they beat), and boise. Not saying they have a crazy good resume but they did dominate k state and they beat smu who is the favorite to win the acc.
REALITY SEC is not going to have 6 teams in playoffs. They will only get 4. What is your 2 teams that will be left out?? 1 Texas, 2 Alabama, 3 Ol' Miss, 4 Georgia, 5 Tenn, 6 Texas A&M. I think currently it's Tenn and Texas A&M will be out if everyone wins out in those top 4 teams. BUT!! If Georgia Tech beats Georgia. Georgia is OUT If Alabama loses to Auburn. Alabama is OUT! If Florida beats Ol' Miss. Ol' Miss is OUT! If Texas loses to Texas A&M that could turn it upside down. depending on Sec Championship.
The football schedules are put together around 10 years in advance. Nothing can really be balanced. No way 10 years ago that Georgia knew this would be the toughest schedule in college football, same for Indiana. Yeah, you can put what looks like a "cupcake," but who knows what happens between now and 10 years down the road. Anyone that put Florida on the schedule 10 years ago would be, well that is probably a loss. SEC and BIG10 have so much money, so when a team beats an SEC or BIG team, it's has defeated one of the top 40 most wealthy teams. Even loyally Purdue has more money than most of the other teams not in the SEC and BIG. Ross Aid stadium is nearly full for every home game this season.
SEC are always crying! This is how teams get racked so deal with it! How can you put a team in there with multiple losses and expect them to pass a team with less losses that’s been ranked in the top 10 all year? You sound like a broken record
Not high enough should be ahead of Texas. Penn State vs top 4 OSU close game/close score Texas vs top 4 Georgia not close game/not close score Penn State at Wisconsin 28-13 Oregon at Wisconsin 16-13 Illinois is a ranked team/should be #15 Only Georgia OSU played harder sch Alabama Miss played a little harder and lost to bad teams. Everyone else played weak sch and lost to bad teams/notre dame byu Miami Boise state.
The Final CFP will look like this; () is the ACTUAL CFP SEEDING: 1) Ohio St 2) Texas 3 (5) Notre Dame 4 (6) Oregon 5 (7) Penn St 6 (8) Indiana 7(9) Alabama 8 (3) Miami 9 (4) Colorado 10 Ol' Miss 11 Georgia 12 Boise St It will change IF .... SMU beats Miami. SMU is in Miami is OUT BYU beats Colorado. BYU is IN Colorado is OUT Notre Dame loses to Army. Army is in if tehy stay undefeated. ND OUT Georgia Tech beats Georgia. Georgia is OUT SEC 5 is in Florida beats Ol' Miss. Ol' Miss is OUT SEC 5 is in Alabama loses to rival Auburn. Bama is OUT SEC 5 is in. Texas Loses to Texas A & M. That changes everything in SEC top 4. stay tuned. THEY WILL NOT HAVE MORE THAN 4 SEC teams. TWO- 2 Lose SEC teams will be going bowling. Your delusional to think ANY 3-loss team will make it.
Note to PSU fans: ESPN is not an honest broker when it comes to the Lions - going back to the hit job they did on Paterno because he spoke at George HW Bush’s convention. Their biased today, yesterday and will be tomorrow.
Cry me a river. Like a 2 loss Georgia isn't going to make it to the CFB playoffs. It's not happening, they will be in. Penn State can win out and probably will be closer to the 6 or 7 spot. They will get jumped by some teams. I expect Ole Miss to make it too. BTW - Where is all the whining about Notre Dame being ranked that high? Their schedule isn't great either and that NIU loss is bad.
Let’s not for get it was Penn State that outplayed OSU where refs were terrible and still had 1st and goal indoe 5 two time and 0 pts that’s not OSU doing really good that’s int was good and the second one was pi another call refs let OSU get away with/there was 9 pi and holdings not called and a ridiculous unsportsmanlike that gave OSU the lead otherwise PSU is ahead whole 2nd half not them. Yes that’s why ranking people have loss to topm4 teams by 7 pts as better then winning against a top 5-15 team. What did Texas do in top 4 vs top 4 Georgia not close 27-7 with 30-15 final score. Penn State should be higher then Texas.
So based on yall logic just give the SEC 8 slots and 1 slot to each conference champ out side the SEC 🫠. At some point winning on the field has to matter. Strength of schedule should come into play when looking at the odd man out or in.
Penn State has a better strength of schedule than Texas and Tennessee. You act like 32nd is a travesty when Indiana is sitting there with 100th and Texas at 56th. Outside of Georgia, Texas hasn’t played anyone either and they lost that game at home by more than what Penn State lost to Ohio State by.
SEC bias as always with ESPN. They literally have a contract with the SEC, of course they would have bias
You know ball.
What determines strength of schedule though? Opponents win loss records? A team like Illinois mat be 7-3 but that doesnt make them good

If you look at USC beating LSU, that is what set the bar between Big 10 and SEC. You see LSU beating UCLA by couple touchdowns then you have Indiana beating UCLA by 4 touchdowns! I can see how they are using LSU as how to scale big ten schools to sec schools! You have LSU beating ole miss who beat Georgia, it’s going to be difficult how to rate all these teams!
Notre Dame literally played five ranked opponents in a row last year, Alabama‘s out of conference play is Mercer? USC voluntarily chose to play LSU smack them around Notre Dame voluntarily played Texas A&M smack them around. The SEC only plays itself and rarely ever goes out of conference. Notre Dame does not have control over zone schedule to certain degree. They required to play five ACC games a year for their other sports to be a part of a conference. We voluntarily chose to play FSU who was undefeated last year thinking they’d at least be a six and 473 team this year, Louisville is always really good for an ACC team. Everyone cries the Notre Dame doesn’t play a conference when they’re actually playing in a partial conference with the ACC with the required five games and if I’m correct, Notre Dame is 27 to join partial conference games 27 wins three losses ACC in the last four or five years.
Yes, but so is Texas.....
SEC schools shouldnt lose to Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
While i agree that UGA and their #1 ranked SOS is underranked... PSU has better SOS than the top 2 (currently) rated SEC teams...
The Big Ten is the best, for years ESPN and the final 4 BCS favored teams from the SEC, that is a fact and cannot be denied. Cry me a river SEC Pee on you. Maybe every BIG TEN team should PLAY Mercer sometime at the end of their season. Cry Cry Cry.
Or maybe kent state? Or bowling green? Or Purdue
@kanashii2 Colorado could be every team in the SEC, I'm Deion Sanders and I've paid for this message. Lol 😆
@@kanashii2 what do you mean by bowling green? SEC A&M and B10 Penn State both scheduled them
At the end of the day PSU does not have a bad loss. These 2 loss SEC teams do. There is the answer
Ah the sec where teams complain that just because they played tough teams and lost they should be in. Fact is if Georgia couldn’t beat Tennessee at home they wouldn’t deserve to be in. Yes ik they beat Texas but Texas hasn’t beat anyone either😂
Well Georgia beat Tennessee so now you bozos can stop crying about these hypothetical scenarios 😂
Wow, I can't believe the revisionist history from the SEC guys.
Ain’t no party like a diddy party? Right Penn St?
What is IU suppose to do, lose? IU happens to be better this year than other years. How is IU's SOS helping them when they played the two teams that was in the championship game as well as playing Ohio State? Why all the hate on something they can't control? I guarantee you that the views against Ohio State will be the most watched game this year over every team that has played.
Over Texas, Alabama, Georgia and whatever name team you want to add.
Actually georgia strength 9f schedule is 17
they are 1
Penn State beat itself. Ohio state didn’t beat them. They had chances, just didn’t put them away.
That taunting penalty was the difference between a punt and a touchdown. Dude thought he was Allen Iverson, but ended up costing them the game
Actually it’s more the reverse. OSU beat itself many times during the game and it could have been a 14-21 point victory. Penn State never really had the chance to win, even though they got out to a 10 point lead,
Ohio St’s turnovers is literally what kept Penn St in the game because Penn St’s offense only put up 6pts( 2 FG’s ) vs Ohio St’s defense..
@@charliegriffey7773 you must be an Ohio State fan, OSU looked like the better team but PSU quite literally left 21 points on the field… (two drives inside the 5 that resulted in 0 points and the taunting penalty that resulted in an OSU touchdown)…
huh? Ohio State gave Penn State 7 and fumbled a td away. you’re delusional 🤣
Byu is so disrespected its not even funny how are they behind miami, smu (who they beat), and boise. Not saying they have a crazy good resume but they did dominate k state and they beat smu who is the favorite to win the acc.
REALITY SEC is not going to have 6 teams in playoffs. They will only get 4. What is your 2 teams that will be left out??
1 Texas, 2 Alabama, 3 Ol' Miss, 4 Georgia, 5 Tenn, 6 Texas A&M.
I think currently it's Tenn and Texas A&M will be out if everyone wins out in those top 4 teams.
BUT!!
If Georgia Tech beats Georgia. Georgia is OUT
If Alabama loses to Auburn. Alabama is OUT!
If Florida beats Ol' Miss. Ol' Miss is OUT!
If Texas loses to Texas A&M that could turn it upside down. depending on Sec Championship.
The football schedules are put together around 10 years in advance. Nothing can really be balanced. No way 10 years ago that Georgia knew this would be the toughest schedule in college football, same for Indiana. Yeah, you can put what looks like a "cupcake," but who knows what happens between now and 10 years down the road. Anyone that put Florida on the schedule 10 years ago would be, well that is probably a loss. SEC and BIG10 have so much money, so when a team beats an SEC or BIG team, it's has defeated one of the top 40 most wealthy teams. Even loyally Purdue has more money than most of the other teams not in the SEC and BIG. Ross Aid stadium is nearly full for every home game this season.
Only about 3 to 5 years in advance but they try for ten
Who is better, Indiana or Texas? Case solved!
SEC are always crying! This is how teams get racked so deal with it! How can you put a team in there with multiple losses and expect them to pass a team with less losses that’s been ranked in the top 10 all year? You sound like a broken record
Not high enough should be ahead of Texas.
Penn State vs top 4 OSU close game/close score
Texas vs top 4 Georgia not close game/not close score
Penn State at Wisconsin 28-13
Oregon at Wisconsin 16-13
Illinois is a ranked team/should be #15
Only Georgia OSU played harder sch Alabama Miss played a little harder and lost to bad teams.
Everyone else played weak sch and lost to bad teams/notre dame byu Miami Boise state.
The Final CFP will look like this; () is the ACTUAL CFP SEEDING: 1) Ohio St 2) Texas 3 (5) Notre Dame 4 (6) Oregon 5 (7) Penn St 6 (8) Indiana 7(9) Alabama 8 (3) Miami 9 (4) Colorado 10 Ol' Miss 11 Georgia 12 Boise St
It will change IF ....
SMU beats Miami. SMU is in Miami is OUT
BYU beats Colorado. BYU is IN Colorado is OUT
Notre Dame loses to Army. Army is in if tehy stay undefeated. ND OUT
Georgia Tech beats Georgia. Georgia is OUT SEC 5 is in
Florida beats Ol' Miss. Ol' Miss is OUT SEC 5 is in
Alabama loses to rival Auburn. Bama is OUT SEC 5 is in.
Texas Loses to Texas A & M. That changes everything in SEC top 4. stay tuned.
THEY WILL NOT HAVE MORE THAN 4 SEC teams. TWO- 2 Lose SEC teams will be going bowling. Your delusional to think ANY 3-loss team will make it.
PSU would destroy Bama, Georgia, Tennese, and A&M.................
We’ll find out soon enough
Probably
I hope this is bait.
Loooooooooooolllll.
In what world???? When was the last time they beat a team with a strong pulse???
Note to PSU fans: ESPN is not an honest broker when it comes to the Lions - going back to the hit job they did on Paterno because he spoke at George HW Bush’s convention. Their biased today, yesterday and will be tomorrow.
Cry me a river. Like a 2 loss Georgia isn't going to make it to the CFB playoffs. It's not happening, they will be in. Penn State can win out and probably will be closer to the 6 or 7 spot. They will get jumped by some teams. I expect Ole Miss to make it too. BTW - Where is all the whining about Notre Dame being ranked that high? Their schedule isn't great either and that NIU loss is bad.
Notre dame is jumping Penn state after they beat army and blow out USC
No they’re not. Those wins aren’t needle movers.
Comparing a loss to Ohio State vs a loss to northern Illinois is hilarious 😂
Always has been
Big Ten heavily overrated also First
you’re just some random person no one knows why should we take you seriously 🤣
Incorrect.
True
True
Sec is overrated too. Every team in the afc north would destroy every team in the SEC
Arkansas lost to oklahoma state, they suck and lsu is no longer a good win, neother is missouri
ESECPN
Sos is fake.
Let’s not for get it was Penn State that outplayed OSU where refs were terrible and still had 1st and goal indoe 5 two time and 0 pts that’s not OSU doing really good that’s int was good and the second one was pi another call refs let OSU get away with/there was 9 pi and holdings not called and a ridiculous unsportsmanlike that gave OSU the lead otherwise PSU is ahead whole 2nd half not them.
Yes that’s why ranking people have loss to topm4 teams by 7 pts as better then winning against a top 5-15 team.
What did Texas do in top 4 vs top 4 Georgia not close 27-7 with 30-15 final score.
Penn State should be higher then Texas.
So based on yall logic just give the SEC 8 slots and 1 slot to each conference champ out side the SEC 🫠. At some point winning on the field has to matter. Strength of schedule should come into play when looking at the odd man out or in.
Ask Nebraska, Washington, USC, UCLA how easy it is to play in the Big 10. These were major programs that fell apart in Big 10 games.
