FACTS! Notice how Georgia was screaming about their how their QB “he broke Trevor Lawrence’s passing records” but fail to mention that Notre Dame was missing 5 defensive starters and 2 out of that group of injured players are All Americans?
Notre Dame was basically playing an entire second string defense for the 4th quarter and still dominated the Georgia O-Line. Also, while they say their starting QB being out was why they lost, they fail to mention that Stockton (more evasive and more accurate) was the better option against the ND defense (Great font 7 and an elite defense full of ball hawks) than Beck (over one INT thrown per game). In fact, Stockton was the highlight in a game of lowlights for Georgia. Then they blame the refs letting Notre Dame getting away with the 11 man substitution, which is funny because the substitution was 100% legal. Then all the people who picked Georgia to, not just win, but dominate, suddenly after the game are telling about how Georgia was always a flawed team. The coach says "we SPOTTED Notre Dame 14 points" when those 14 points came off of a strip sack that every QB that ever laced them up would have fumbled and a return that had one broken tackle and a ton of great blocking. So if they aren't making excuses, they are trying to diminish Notre Dame like they just tripped and accidentally scored. The reality is Notre Dame proved they were the better team. The defense was utterly dominant, they won on special teams and Freeman was the best coach at the stadium. But hey, it isn't all bad for the SEC. They teams are all still undefeated in hypothetical games.
@@SteveAllen-x2mcollege football has been more exciting and has had more parody than ever since NIL and transfer portal. How would the sport suffer from that!?
It's SEC chutes and ladders. They get ranked all the way through the top 25. They play each other, win/lose and up and down the rankings they go, but rarely out of the top 25. Its a numbers game. Also don't forget what Saban several years ago after Alabama got crushed by Oklahoma in a bowl game. Paraphrasing but he said motivation wasn't there because they're used to play ing for championships. And as far as FSU last year. They won two games, the regular season finale against Florida with their 2nd string qb and the following the week in the ACC championship with a 3rd string freshmen who never even played that year and practice half the year because of an injury.
SEC has gotten exposed. Alabama got builied and bitched by Michigan, South Carolina lost to Illinois, Kirby Smart and Georgia got outcoached and outclassed by Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame, Tennessee got steamed rolled by Ohio State, Texas almost choked and looked like they were trying to give Arizona State that win. I hate to say it, but Ole Miss is the only SEC team that proved that they should be in the playoffs by dominating in their bowl game. Yeah, Texas is the only SEC team left in the playoffs, but I'm telling you right now, no disrespect to Arizona State. I like Arizona State and they are a good team but they are not on the same level as Ohio State. All I have to say about Texas, if you think struggling against Arizona State is one thing and almost choking the game away, y'al are in a rude awakening when y'all play Ohio State. Ohio State is a scary team in these playoffs. The NIL and transfer protal has changed college football for the better. Now other teams are now able to get 4 and 5 star recruits on their now. The SEC can no longer pay these recruits under the table anymore
The big ten is so good and so deep that indiana our 4th best team with a quarterback who had a torn knee kept the score tighter against notre dame that the SEC champion did.
Dont let them forget that ND has offensive and defensive lines composed mostly of second stringers and is missing first round pick CB Benjamin Morrison Will add that based on scoring from special teams and an easy 12 yard TD after a strip sack (with Angeli who has a better arm than Leonard), ND still theoretically wins this game without Riley Leonard 14 to 10.
The more people argue the SEC is the best conference the less I believe them. If it's actually the best conference let the results speak for themselves.
I thought that in terms of top-tier programs, all their players including their second team and third team are all highly rated recruits? Georgia's second team should still be excellent. They lost because on the day it mattered, this year Notre Dame was better. The end.
ND has to 12-0 to be CONSIDERED for the CFP. In 2018 they went 12-0 AND EVERYONE SAID THEY DID NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOP 4. Same thing they did to FSU, but they used the cover of “they lost their starting QB” in 2023.
Yes!!! I've been thinking that the polls are so STUPID! "Oh we played #5 and #8." In week 3! Now #5 is #19 and #8 is unranked! So what does that prove? Why bother? A bunch of sound and fury signifying nothing, as Shakespeare said.
Annoying notre dame fan here we never felt the importance of the conference championships for obvious reasons. We can only be happy with a national championship and we haven’t been happy since 1988. I think the rest of the league is coming to the same conclusion. Only one trophy matters
I rarely hear anyone bring this up, but one of the advantages that SEC schools have that northern schools DON'T have is SPRING FOOTBALL. Kids in the south are playing MORE football before college and SEC schools have an advantage in recruiting these players.
Plus, they have the highest percentage of FBA kids. That's for obvious reasons. I don't know why people are afraid to mention that. Those kids used to be ok playing for a paper 💰. Now with NIL, those kids can leave. Actually, every school has spring football.
Have we had enough of the stupid tribalism in the divided states of america. If you're an LS U fan-- root for them. You dont have to root fir for another southern team, or rpot against college kids from another achool
Michigan had half a dozen not play because of the NFL draft and another half dozen who filed to transfer. They still beat Alabama who was at almost full strength.
My main issue with the SEC is that they have built-in advantages that neither they, nor the NCAA acknowledge. 95 percent of post season games, both bowl and playoff, have been played in SEC territory. The traditional Big 10 teams have never played a post season game in their territory until this year. Homefield advantage matters, Tennessee found that out. I know for certain that the 6 point spread between Texas and Ohio State is only that small because the game is a home game for Texas. Take the Fiesta Bowl out of Arizona and put it in Indianapolis to give the north a big bowl of its own, and if the SEC is afraid of playing a cold weather game.
Especially an issue with Georgia. Every pre-season "neutral site" game, every conference championship, and certain bowls...all played in Atlanta for Georgia's convenience.
I'm a Dawg fan and make no excuses for the loss to ND. The SEC is promoted due to money. The top teams have fan that will travel to the bowl games by the thousands. Florida State got screwed last year, they wanted Alabama and Texas in due to money.
SEC teams are dishonorable, they don’t keep their word. Scheduling with them is meaningless. They all cancel the moment an easier opportunity comes along.
When it comes to the obviously mis-targeting call that didn't get called in the Arizona State game, the key thing to remember is that at the point in the game that it was missed, it would have had a huge difference. Bitching about calls in the first quarter doesn't make any sense though, I agree.
Every year you get teams like Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, LSU, Miss State all ranked in the preseason only to give “ranked” wins to teams like Alabama and Georgia. Those teams are genuinely terrible almost every single year (except the Joe Burrow year for LSU which was absolutely bonkers).
The real ACC conference champion was Notre Dame, and as a fan of a team that plays ND every season, it was painfully clear they were a $20M roster playing championship level football. It is what it is. That's why the ACC pays them out $17M in conference shares to be a measuring stick....Not all conference champs were swept out of the playoffs prior to the semis....ND is stil trying despite debilitating injuries, just a lot of disrespect invading college football as a whole.
Not to mention the fact their second string QB was the best player on the field for Georgia and they were talking about how great he was heading into the game.
Ohio state belongs in the sec. They make excuses every time they lose. Ohio state has never lost to another team. Always something like bad weather, coaching, refs, players or cheating. But never the other team.
The SEC has college sports most prolific media and propaganda machine. They can put a positive spin on anything..."we've sunk to near the bottom but it will be a solid foundation to build upon".
The SEC has spent the last 20 years scorned about that 04 Auburn team. It’s why I think they constantly lobby for the conference as a whole.. coaches never put their program on a pedestal it’s always “the conference “
The qb wasn’t the problem it was a game of defense. We just simply got some things we got to fix. Play calling, linemen getting beat every play, receivers dropping open passes, penalties. As a UGA fan a loss is a loss we just weren’t the better team that night and that’s all it was. We try again next year. Kirby recognizes we need some roster change ups and he’s working on it. I would like to say that is Ga fans aren’t as delusional as say the Alabama fans. It’s all a mindset and how the players do in game. Sometimes they may be locked in sometimes they might not. Or just having that drive to simply not get beat and make adjustments on your matchup as Ohio state has shown is what can happen when as a player with that drive being locked in on your assignments and the little things can make a world of a diffidence and some the kids we got now simply do not fit that bill.
I’m an Ohio state fan and I don’t care what the rest of the big 10 does they could lose all their bowl games and I couldn’t care less the sec has this cult mentality that if one team wins they all win it’s probably just to fuel their ego
TOSU is one of the original B1G teams because of the region. If you're an Ohio State fan and live in Ohio one could assume that is why you're a fan, since most people are fans of teams where they live, which again deals with the region. So if that's the case, it seems to a degree, that would put your logic in conflict.
@ what does having Ohio state being one of the first in the conference have to do with anything? Nobody was alive back then I still don’t care what other big 10 teams do
@@chasp9369 Penn State was the first team of B1G expansion and Penn State was a regional team and it was only 34 yrs ago so a lot of people are still alive. What are you talking about?
Thats funny. As a buckeye fan osu had those same issues and last year lost the qb a ol lineman went on a podcast says we haven't really practiced but a couple times we here for fun. Didn't matter to the SEC it was how much better they was.
Simple, NIL and the Transfer Portal make switching schools a snap. Coaches can no longer stack NFL prospects two and three deep and make them wait their turn. Now coaches will be forced to get by with a thinner roster talent wise. The packed super teams have had the rug pulled out from under them. Saban retired, Kirby is trying to hang on and Dabo is living in the past. Welcome to "Triangle Good".
The NIL is the end of rivalries as far as I am concerned, Free agency ruined rivalries in the NFL. Past players lined up AGAINST THE SAME GUYS year after year, not just the same teams. Real enmity rose between the players and the rivalries were intense. Now the guy you are playing against this year was your teammate last year or may be next year and the team you are on this year is just another stop.
Great show. I’m glad I came across your channel. It’s hard to find an actual objective analysis anymore. Even major networks (I’m talking about you ESPN) have become SEC homers.
Buckeyes fan here. Really great takes! Hang in there!! Been overcoming anxiety myself. You’re not alone! Also trying to stay hydrated 😊. Most adults are magnesium deficient. Mag helps with calm. Mag-8 for day and Magtein before sleep (Double Wood) has helped me. Peace!
“I’m not biased. I call it like I see it” you know bias influences how you see things, right? 😂 no but I totally agree with what you’re saying here. SEC meatriders are the worst
I get point you were trying to make about the unity of a conference, etc. However, as a Kentucky alum, I couldn't give two sh*ts if the conference does well. In fact, I prefer if they fall flat on their faces. I have enjoyed watching the SEC as a whole crap the bed this bowl season. Do I ever hear the other SEC fans pulling for Kentucky in basketball? Hell no. They hate the Kentucky basketball program. Where is the conference pride then? Doesn't exist. They will cheer for UK to do well in a mediocre bowl game, but that's because UK has always been a doormat football program. And as an Irish fan, the laundry list of excuses coming out about the win, is laughable. Had anyone checked the ND IL? It's littered with starters and a couple of All-American caliber players from both sides of the ball. AND they beat UGA with a QB that doesn't throw the ball.
What about the 1st Amendment? Are you suggesting that it should be a crime to publish/broadcast preseason rankings? I get paid a fortune to say that 13 of the top 20 teams every preseason should be SEC and stick with it, no matter how poorly they play throughout the year.
Nobody used to use the strength of schedule to argue teams don’t deserve to be considered. People need to go look at the 2001 Miami team and other national title Miami teams weak Big East schedules, but consider them all time great teams. In today’s world folks would be saying the 2001 Miami team didn’t play anyone.
Great analysis! I have been a FL St fan for many years and I was upset when they were left out of the playoffs. By the way I am a Texan. Fl St was robbed.
No they don’t. All it means is Texas was better team than OSU on that day. Do I think OSU was better than Bama in 2014 when they won the semifinal? No, I don’t think OSU was the better team. And I don’t think the BIG10 was better than the SEC. They were just better than Bama on that day.
The first round of the playoff needs to be the week after conference championships. That way, conference champions get a bye week, not three and a half weeks off. Targeting should require a player to target the head or neck. Too many people are saying any contact with the head or neck is targeting. To target requires intent. It's right in the definition of the word. How many times has targeting been called when a ball carrier lowers his head as the defender is lowering his, resulting in helmet-to-helmet contact? How is that on the defensive player?
I cant figure out how a ball carrier can stiff arm a defense to the ground while pushing against his face mask yet if a defensive player even touches an offensive player mask it's a hands to the face penalty. Football is so favored to the offense I dont know how defensive player deal with it
I mean, Notre Dame had a 3 week layoff prior to their first round game and they didn't have any issue. But then the following week a bunch of teams with the bye lose and suddenly it was an issue..
We played a trash game. We made too many mistakes like we have done all year. Drops, turnovers, giving them 7 on a kick return. They played ok, but we beat ourselves. They had 90 yards passing and 154 yards running. Its not like they blew our doors off. We cut out the mistakes we win. They capitalized on our mistakes, good for them. #GODAWGS
I totally agree with you. And Ohio State was beating Oregon worse in the first quarter than they were against Tennessee. The notion that a Notre Dame undersized and shorthanded DL mauled the Georgia OL is just silly. I don't care if Ohio State beat Alabama with its 3rd string QB in 2015. If Carson Beck had played, we would have beaten Notre Dame 63-3, and then we would have beaten Penn State 49-0, and then Texas would have slaughtered Ohio State.
voting is too subjective computers too what we do not need is 2 cluster f super conferences and go back to the days of multiple smaller conferences each conference should be small enough to play a round robin then a championship game send the winners of that game to the playoffs regular season still counts no subjective voting other than seeding every school has a chance to make it you don't make it GET BETTER
Good job with FSU metaphor.. herbie is president of SankeyEndorsedColusion conference Nil will end dominance Big ten>>>>>>>>>>>> $$$$$$ other than tex tam
They're talking about not giving a bye to conference champions because that was their plan. It's about money and getting as many of the big brands in and as far as possible. They will and did use any excuse to "improve" college football and get a 12 team playoff. Once they had that they can justify any change. The CFP 12-team playoff motto is "turning losers into pseudo winners". Just look at the 4 teams left: Ohio State lost 2 games, 1 at home to a 21.5 point underdog with 5 losses; ND lost a home game to a MAC school as a 28 point favorite; Texas lost twice (once in a conference championship); Penn State lost twice (once in a conference championship). None of these teams won their conference or play in a conference. None of them would've sniffed a title in the pre-BCS or BCS era and deservedly so. They want the NFL model without the parity and home field advantage, because that will get them what they want....money. If conference champions hosted their match-ups the results would've likely been different. But they're not going to talk about that. Oregon was the only undefeated team and had to re-defeat OSU, this time on a neutral field, after OSU was given a home game following an embarrassing loss to Michigan. You can't make this stuff up. Too many useful idiots.
I don't take issue with most of this. We can actually go a step further. If they take away the possibility of a conference champion getting a by, how long before the conference champion doesn't matter? The rankings already don't matter. Bama was left out in favor of Clemson though, they were ranked ahead of them. I still like the expanded playoffs. Teams shouldn't have to be forced to go undefeated to be a champion. I actually discuss a lot of this here ua-cam.com/video/ngTVq1CdghA/v-deo.html Thanks for listening and for taking time to write your thoughts! 👊🏼
@@therldrewduncan No problem. While I understand why some might like the expanded playoffs, it's hard in my opinion to hold that position and still want conference championships to matter. Also, I think it's fine to not believe a team has to go undefeated to be a champion...but I don't want to hear any comparisons to previous undefeated champions of any era. I don't see that much difference between allowing for losses and weakening conference championships/champions. All undefeated teams by definition are conference champions....unless they were independent. Being a champion to me means being one at all levels (winning your division when it existed, your conference if you're in one and the national championship). So I put asterisks by all defeated or non-division/conference winning national "champions". They're pseudo-champs...winning sometimes 1 of 3 eligible titles because of pity, money and/or ideology.
Congratulations on being sober for more than a month. Your body fighting back against you is a predictable consequence of your brain playing tricks on you because it wants the thing. Like a lot of things that take a long time to get into, getting out of them takes a while too. Good luck.
All the talk about undeserving, and as it played out, it seemed like the most undeserving team was Oregon! Did they get respect this year because they were in the big 10? Because if this would’ve been Oregon from the past. They may not have even made the playoffs. The PAC 12 had no credibility, no respect. Nobody ever saw them play. I don’t want to hear anymore talk about undeserving… If you made it in, you deserve it!
They weren't undeserving they ran into the best team in the country playing their best football of the season finally. Nobody can stop Jerimiah Smith period.
As a dawg from birth….you’re 100% wrong. If you can’t see that they set seams real narrow on the perimeter…..then you need to go back and watch film. Go watch the film guy network….
Better defense, better special.teams, better coaching, better run game, better offensive line. Outside of passing, in what area is Georgia better than Notre Dame? Because I can't tell.what you're talking about.
I mean Im an NFL fan too and you see how the SEC has dominated the draft for so long they don't need to spin much. And look at the teams in the SEC they run a brutal gauntlet it's not just all the natties even the middle weight teams are stacked
Then why didn't those mid teams win? Once everybody could pay players the so called dominance that was Bama mostly immediately stopped. That is weird. I am an Ohio State fan and wouldn't think of ever caring what the rest of the Big does. It is just really strange. Ohio State puts more players in the NFL than all SEC teams except maybe Bama and Georgia and playing one less conference game a year really helps keep your team fresh by playing that extra FCS school.
8:19 so your telling me they WANTED the QB to play bad? This sounds like the copeium you are criticizing the sec for. And I'm saying this as a fan for FSU.
Shocking but you can be from the best conference, not not be the best team. It's happened, sure with teams from other conferences other than the SEC, but that has been the vast minority of years dating back for 25 plus years. Count up the national titles. Your telling me the 4th best team in the Big10 would beat the 4th best in the SEC? lol. No but NIL and the portal are improving most every team except the teams that had been getting the lions share of the top blue chips, Bama and UGA. OSU has gotten their share too so now it comes down to actual coaching and you can't lean on depth as much. The SEC is just harder to go out on the road and win. Most of your drafts and recruits are from the SE part of the US. We see the same SEC dominance in baseball, basketball etc vs any one specific conference. The worst SEC team, Mississippi State still hung 31 on UGA's defense in Athens in 24. Vandy beat Bama who still has massive depth. We don't see that in other conferences. But sure, they can spin a loss for the SEC. That's business because those teams like UGA has made them money for years, same with Bama. But they only do that for those teams. Did you see them spin any losses for TN? lol. How about anyone else not named UGA and used to be Bama. Until teams from other conferences start beating the best SEC teams and I mean more than one year out of like 8 or 10, well... They will only spin for teams that have won something lately. Has OSU won a title since what, 11 years ago? Has Clemson? One SEC coach amounted to 8 natties of 17 years, that's alot, than throw in a team that had two in a row in the last 4 years, UGA. Dominate and the media will spin for those teams too when they first start losing after years, and more recently of dominating. Been watching ball for over 45 years and this has always gone on when you've won a lot and recently and finally lose.
The 5th best team in BIG 10 beat the 3rd best team in the SEC. I don't know where Illinois ranked in the B1G but yeah beat a South Carolina squad everyone in the SEC was squawking about. The matchups were favorable to the SEC team and they still lost!
Didn't the team that finished 4th in the Big Ten (OSU) just dog walk the #3 ranked SEC team (Tennessee)? Didn't a 9-3 South Carolina just lose to a 9-3 Illinois? Stop with this idea that the SEC is somehow better. Last year's SEC champ lost to the Big Ten champ and eventual national champion, Michigan. Now the SEC champ just lost to ND. There is no SEC superiority and the results on the field the last two seasons have proven this to be the case. The SEC lost their Bagman Advantage when NIL becomes legal and now the playing field is level
@@prattacaster You talking one game vs decades of SEC dominance over them lol. UPsets will happen in the new age of NIL and portal. Where was that before the NIL era? LOL. So your point is moot. lol. Illinois only the second time his history they won 10 games, stop it. lol. The 4th best team in the SEC this year has won national titles.. LSU.. lol. SC also won how few of games in 23? They went from what a 6 win 7 win team to 9 wins. That's hard to do. They did also have some opt outs and guys that hit the portal. But what SC has been vs what Illinois has been? No contest. The Big 10's success this year is one, an anomaly vs the SEC. It has more to do with NIL and the portal than say, traditional Big10 recruits beating SEC recruits. More SEC recruits went up north. But before that and NIL, that is how the SEC dominated all the other conferences.

This is like saying claiming the Big10 is dominants to the SEC just because they finally beat an SEC team after going 3-13 vs the SEC LOL. Do ya see how dumb that is.

@@Jon.A.Scholt All the things your listing here is based on a few games in one season lol. How does that even move the needle compared to what the SEC has done to the Big10 for a few decades running.. lol? It doesn't even move the needle the things you mentioned. All it does is surprise us as this point until you can equate the Bama's and the UGA's. UM was good, but might have cheated to get there and OSU last won what, a natty in what year? 14?ish? UM has a losing record vs Tennessee lol. The SEC is still superior team vs Big10 team. You may have the best team this year, maybe but that don't mean you have the hardest conference, not by a mile. A few games this year does not change that.. Our worst team could beat your 4th or 5th best team..lol Your claiming superiority based on two teams who have done something, rare but something over the last ten years. UM and OSU. Outside of that, they've done nothing compared to Bama, UGA, LSU. and TN would beat the hell out of Penn state, and destroyed your division champ Iowa last bowl season 35--0 lol. what your doing this year, the SEC has been doing for the last 20 and than some. lol. You got one good team, and whatever UM is but it's not elite. IU whose elite as long as they don't play a ranked team. PSU whose a perpetual 10 win team. Not quite an elite team but will constantly win 8 to 10 games in that weak conference but never more.. That is just nowhere near the SEC when you look at teh rest of those conferences.

Notre Dame is down more starters than anyone but they conveniently leave that out of the discussion when talking about the Georgia game.
They want to believe that ND is a bad team
Thats because Marcus Freeman simply doesn't make excuses like the sec coaches and fans. Who the hell pulls for a CONFERENCE? Dumb AF.
Notre Dame was basically playing an entire second string defense for the 4th quarter and still dominated the Georgia
O-Line.

Then all the people who picked Georgia to, not just win, but dominate, suddenly after the game are telling about how Georgia was always a flawed team.
The coach says "we SPOTTED Notre Dame 14 points" when those 14 points came off of a strip sack that every QB that ever laced them up would have fumbled and a return that had one broken tackle and a ton of great blocking.
So if they aren't making excuses, they are trying to diminish Notre Dame like they just tripped and accidentally scored.
The reality is Notre Dame proved they were the better team. The defense was utterly dominant, they won on special teams and Freeman was the best coach at the stadium.
But hey, it isn't all bad for the SEC. They teams are all still undefeated in hypothetical games.

Ole Miss proved something by beating Duke? Duke, from the horrible ACC? Okie dokie 👌
@@Al-Rudigor and wasn't Duke down like 8 starters?
The big ten is so good and so deep that indiana our 4th best team with a quarterback who had a torn knee kept the score tighter against notre dame that the SEC champion did.
Dont let them forget that ND has offensive and defensive lines composed mostly of second stringers and is missing first round pick CB Benjamin Morrison
Will add that based on scoring from special teams and an easy 12 yard TD after a strip sack (with Angeli who has a better arm than Leonard), ND still theoretically wins this game without Riley Leonard 14 to 10.
The more people argue the SEC is the best conference the less I believe them. If it's actually the best conference let the results speak for themselves.
SEC is the best conference...at marketing.
Ohio St. is by far the best team in football and they will dog walk both these last two opponents. I am saying this as a Michigan fan.
I thought that in terms of top-tier programs, all their players including their second team and third team are all highly rated recruits?
Georgia's second team should still be excellent.
They lost because on the day it mattered, this year Notre Dame was better. The end.
Bahaaaa wasn't they saying there back up won the sec championship game. Now they were going to the natty. The Irish beat them down
It’s always nil fault too. Yeah it’s so unfair that everyone gets to pay now.
ND has to 12-0 to be CONSIDERED for the CFP. In 2018 they went 12-0 AND EVERYONE SAID THEY DID NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOP 4.
Same thing they did to FSU, but they used the cover of “they lost their starting QB” in 2023.
You didn't mention Missouri. Why were they ever ranked.
@@antond.morris3875 so they could beef up wins for, Bama lol

That's how you artificially inflate the streath of schedule argument smart move honestly.
Yes!!! I've been thinking that the polls are so STUPID! "Oh we played #5 and #8." In week 3! Now #5 is #19 and #8 is unranked! So what does that prove? Why bother? A bunch of sound and fury signifying nothing, as Shakespeare said.

Annoying notre dame fan here we never felt the importance of the conference championships for obvious reasons. We can only be happy with a national championship and we haven’t been happy since 1988. I think the rest of the league is coming to the same conclusion. Only one trophy matters
I get a kick how they always talk about their schedule. Lol. They play 4-5 FCS teams and then play each other. Thats it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rickjustus6416 to your point...there was only one SEC team who didn't schedule an FCS school. That team was, Texas.
@@therldrewduncan yup and that schedule was set when they were member of the big 12…
I rarely hear anyone bring this up, but one of the advantages that SEC schools have that northern schools DON'T have is SPRING FOOTBALL. Kids in the south are playing MORE football before college and SEC schools have an advantage in recruiting these players.
Plus, they have the highest percentage of FBA kids. That's for obvious reasons. I don't know why people are afraid to mention that. Those kids used to be ok playing for a paper 💰. Now with NIL, those kids can leave. Actually, every school has spring football.
Have we had enough of the stupid tribalism in the divided states of america. If you're an LS U fan-- root for them. You dont have to root fir for another southern team, or rpot against college kids from another achool
The southern inferiority complex drives the division in America, let alone college football...
@@shimonhawkins13Where does that come from?
Michigan had half a dozen not play because of the NFL draft and another half dozen who filed to transfer. They still beat Alabama who was at almost full strength.
My main issue with the SEC is that they have built-in advantages that neither they, nor the NCAA acknowledge. 95 percent of post season games, both bowl and playoff, have been played in SEC territory. The traditional Big 10 teams have never played a post season game in their territory until this year. Homefield advantage matters, Tennessee found that out. I know for certain that the 6 point spread between Texas and Ohio State is only that small because the game is a home game for Texas. Take the Fiesta Bowl out of Arizona and put it in Indianapolis to give the north a big bowl of its own, and if the SEC is afraid of playing a cold weather game.
Exactly the SEC has 4/6 bowl games
Especially an issue with Georgia. Every pre-season "neutral site" game, every conference championship, and certain bowls...all played in Atlanta for Georgia's convenience.
@@tiger_spawn4223 exactly, why are there so many big games in Atlanta.
I'm a Dawg fan and make no excuses for the loss to ND. The SEC is promoted due to money. The top teams have fan that will travel to the bowl games by the thousands. Florida State got screwed last year, they wanted Alabama and Texas in due to money.
@@dave4708 boom! 👊🏼
Gee, traveling to bowl games in Atlanta and New Orleans. That's a stretch. Almost all of the bowl games are in SEC backyard. Go figure!
SEC teams are dishonorable, they don’t keep their word. Scheduling with them is meaningless. They all cancel the moment an easier opportunity comes along.
When it comes to the obviously mis-targeting call that didn't get called in the Arizona State game, the key thing to remember is that at the point in the game that it was missed, it would have had a huge difference. Bitching about calls in the first quarter doesn't make any sense though, I agree.
Every year you get teams like Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, LSU, Miss State all ranked in the preseason only to give “ranked” wins to teams like Alabama and Georgia. Those teams are genuinely terrible almost every single year (except the Joe Burrow year for LSU which was absolutely bonkers).
The real ACC conference champion was Notre Dame, and as a fan of a team that plays ND every season, it was painfully clear they were a $20M roster playing championship level football. It is what it is. That's why the ACC pays them out $17M in conference shares to be a measuring stick....Not all conference champs were swept out of the playoffs prior to the semis....ND is stil trying despite debilitating injuries, just a lot of disrespect invading college football as a whole.
Debilitating. Perfect adjective.
OSU won a natty with a third-string quarterback. Spare me the tears over losing because of a second-string QB
Not to mention the fact their second string QB was the best player on the field for Georgia and they were talking about how great he was heading into the game.
@ yes
Texas last year big 12 champ where’s the SEC
16 team playoff with NO byes, and no conference championship games. Conference champs get automatic bid, all 10 conferences, and 6 ad larges.
You just spit straight HEAT this whole video. Gotta drop a sub
Ohio state belongs in the sec. They make excuses every time they lose. Ohio state has never lost to another team. Always something like bad weather, coaching, refs, players or cheating. But never the other team.
Unfortunately it just shows how little weight fsu has in college football!!!!!! Ohiostate 2014 3rd string quarterback and Georgia this year!
The hate is real! Fsu has to beat the refs every game too!
The SEC has college sports most prolific media and propaganda machine. They can put a positive spin on anything..."we've sunk to near the bottom but it will be a solid foundation to build upon".
Yep. They've got SECSPN.
The SEC has spent the last 20 years scorned about that 04 Auburn team. It’s why I think they constantly lobby for the conference as a whole.. coaches never put their program on a pedestal it’s always “the conference “
Preach it! The SEC can do no wrong in their eyes! You have a new subscriber! Go Noles!
The qb wasn’t the problem it was a game of defense. We just simply got some things we got to fix. Play calling, linemen getting beat every play, receivers dropping open passes, penalties. As a UGA fan a loss is a loss we just weren’t the better team that night and that’s all it was. We try again next year. Kirby recognizes we need some roster change ups and he’s working on it. I would like to say that is Ga fans aren’t as delusional as say the Alabama fans. It’s all a mindset and how the players do in game. Sometimes they may be locked in sometimes they might not. Or just having that drive to simply not get beat and make adjustments on your matchup as Ohio state has shown is what can happen when as a player with that drive being locked in on your assignments and the little things can make a world of a diffidence and some the kids we got now simply do not fit that bill.
The SEC before and after brian Kelly its rubbing off on them 😅
Goooooo Irish!!!!
I’m an Ohio state fan and I don’t care what the rest of the big 10 does they could lose all their bowl games and I couldn’t care less the sec has this cult mentality that if one team wins they all win it’s probably just to fuel their ego
Yk im a ND guy (also like Nebraska cause that’s where I live), so call me a little biased, but rooting for a conference is just dumb
TOSU is one of the original B1G teams because of the region. If you're an Ohio State fan and live in Ohio one could assume that is why you're a fan, since most people are fans of teams where they live, which again deals with the region. So if that's the case, it seems to a degree, that would put your logic in conflict.
@ what does having Ohio state being one of the first in the conference have to do with anything? Nobody was alive back then I still don’t care what other big 10 teams do

Thats funny. As a buckeye fan osu had those same issues and last year lost the qb a ol lineman went on a podcast says we haven't really practiced but a couple times we here for fun. Didn't matter to the SEC it was how much better they was.
Simple, NIL and the Transfer Portal make switching schools a snap. Coaches can no longer stack NFL prospects two and three deep and make them wait their turn. Now coaches will be forced to get by with a thinner roster talent wise. The packed super teams have had the rug pulled out from under them. Saban retired, Kirby is trying to hang on and Dabo is living in the past. Welcome to "Triangle Good".
The NIL is the end of rivalries as far as I am concerned, Free agency ruined rivalries in the NFL. Past players lined up AGAINST THE SAME GUYS year after year, not just the same teams. Real enmity rose between the players and the rivalries were intense. Now the guy you are playing against this year was your teammate last year or may be next year and the team you are on this year is just another stop.
Hell yes you got this man! 4+ years sober. All the bullshit that came with it in the beginning was 10000% worth it
Great show. I’m glad I came across your channel. It’s hard to find an actual objective analysis anymore. Even major networks (I’m talking about you ESPN) have become SEC homers.
Buckeyes fan here. Really great takes! Hang in there!! Been overcoming anxiety myself. You’re not alone! Also trying to stay hydrated 😊. Most adults are magnesium deficient. Mag helps with calm. Mag-8 for day and Magtein before sleep (Double Wood) has helped me. Peace!
“I’m not biased. I call it like I see it” you know bias influences how you see things, right? 😂 no but I totally agree with what you’re saying here. SEC meatriders are the worst
I get point you were trying to make about the unity of a conference, etc. However, as a Kentucky alum, I couldn't give two sh*ts if the conference does well. In fact, I prefer if they fall flat on their faces. I have enjoyed watching the SEC as a whole crap the bed this bowl season. Do I ever hear the other SEC fans pulling for Kentucky in basketball? Hell no. They hate the Kentucky basketball program. Where is the conference pride then? Doesn't exist. They will cheer for UK to do well in a mediocre bowl game, but that's because UK has always been a doormat football program. And as an Irish fan, the laundry list of excuses coming out about the win, is laughable. Had anyone checked the ND IL? It's littered with starters and a couple of All-American caliber players from both sides of the ball. AND they beat UGA with a QB that doesn't throw the ball.
They’ve been saying this about the SEC for 50 YEARS.
ESPN does 😎
Exactly, I've been saying get rid of preseason rankings by the Press/NCAA
Literally, it's gaslighting
What about the 1st Amendment? Are you suggesting that it should be a crime to publish/broadcast preseason rankings? I get paid a fortune to say that 13 of the top 20 teams every preseason should be SEC and stick with it, no matter how poorly they play throughout the year.
Yeah, conferences don't mean shit anymore. When they put half the damn Pac 12 into the B1G, conferences don't mean shit anymore.
Teams shouldn’t be ranked until after 4 weeks of playing to keep preseason biases out of the rankings
Nobody used to use the strength of schedule to argue teams don’t deserve to be considered. People need to go look at the 2001 Miami team and other national title Miami teams weak Big East schedules, but consider them all time great teams. In today’s world folks would be saying the 2001 Miami team didn’t play anyone.
The canes played and beat 5 top 25 teams that season tho
Great analysis! I have been a FL St fan for many years and I was upset when they were left out of the playoffs. By the way I am a Texan. Fl St was robbed.
Ohio State has to knock Texas out or this means nothing
No they don’t. All it means is Texas was better team than OSU on that day.
Do I think OSU was better than Bama in 2014 when they won the semifinal? No, I don’t think OSU was the better team. And I don’t think the BIG10 was better than the SEC. They were just better than Bama on that day.
Several years ago when Bama was winning seemingly every championship it was not uncommon to see even Vanderbilt fans talking trash.
A win is a win Congrats to ND but GO Dawgs for Life damn everyone else I'm a Dawg. Media is trash period.
The first round of the playoff needs to be the week after conference championships. That way, conference champions get a bye week, not three and a half weeks off.
Targeting should require a player to target the head or neck. Too many people are saying any contact with the head or neck is targeting. To target requires intent. It's right in the definition of the word. How many times has targeting been called when a ball carrier lowers his head as the defender is lowering his, resulting in helmet-to-helmet contact? How is that on the defensive player?
I cant figure out how a ball carrier can stiff arm a defense to the ground while pushing against his face mask yet if a defensive player even touches an offensive player mask it's a hands to the face penalty.
Football is so favored to the offense I dont know how defensive player deal with it
I mean, Notre Dame had a 3 week layoff prior to their first round game and they didn't have any issue. But then the following week a bunch of teams with the bye lose and suddenly it was an issue..
@@snerdterguson Several people, including current and former coaches commented on it as potential issue before the playoffs started.

The hypocrisy is real 😂😂😂😂
We played a trash game. We made too many mistakes like we have done all year. Drops, turnovers, giving them 7 on a kick return. They played ok, but we beat ourselves. They had 90 yards passing and 154 yards running. Its not like they blew our doors off. We cut out the mistakes we win. They capitalized on our mistakes, good for them. #GODAWGS
Nd speed > Sec Champs
They in fact did blow your doors off
I totally agree with you. And Ohio State was beating Oregon worse in the first quarter than they were against Tennessee. The notion that a Notre Dame undersized and shorthanded DL mauled the Georgia OL is just silly. I don't care if Ohio State beat Alabama with its 3rd string QB in 2015. If Carson Beck had played, we would have beaten Notre Dame 63-3, and then we would have beaten Penn State 49-0, and then Texas would have slaughtered Ohio State.
Tell it all brother, TELL IT ALL

Hopefully, the show was as good as the title! 👊🏼
They're talking about not giving a bye to conference champions because that was their plan. It's about money and getting as many of the big brands in and as far as possible. They will and did use any excuse to "improve" college football and get a 12 team playoff. Once they had that they can justify any change.
The CFP 12-team playoff motto is "turning losers into pseudo winners". Just look at the 4 teams left: Ohio State lost 2 games, 1 at home to a 21.5 point underdog with 5 losses; ND lost a home game to a MAC school as a 28 point favorite; Texas lost twice (once in a conference championship); Penn State lost twice (once in a conference championship). None of these teams won their conference or play in a conference. None of them would've sniffed a title in the pre-BCS or BCS era and deservedly so.
They want the NFL model without the parity and home field advantage, because that will get them what they want....money. If conference champions hosted their match-ups the results would've likely been different. But they're not going to talk about that.
Oregon was the only undefeated team and had to re-defeat OSU, this time on a neutral field, after OSU was given a home game following an embarrassing loss to Michigan. You can't make this stuff up. Too many useful idiots.
I don't take issue with most of this. We can actually go a step further. If they take away the possibility of a conference champion getting a by, how long before the conference champion doesn't matter? The rankings already don't matter. Bama was left out in favor of Clemson though, they were ranked ahead of them. I still like the expanded playoffs. Teams shouldn't have to be forced to go undefeated to be a champion. I actually discuss a lot of this here ua-cam.com/video/ngTVq1CdghA/v-deo.html
Thanks for listening and for taking time to write your thoughts! 👊🏼
@@therldrewduncan No problem. While I understand why some might like the expanded playoffs, it's hard in my opinion to hold that position and still want conference championships to matter.
Also, I think it's fine to not believe a team has to go undefeated to be a champion...but I don't want to hear any comparisons to previous undefeated champions of any era. I don't see that much difference between allowing for losses and weakening conference championships/champions. All undefeated teams by definition are conference champions....unless they were independent. Being a champion to me means being one at all levels (winning your division when it existed, your conference if you're in one and the national championship). So I put asterisks by all defeated or non-division/conference winning national "champions". They're pseudo-champs...winning sometimes 1 of 3 eligible titles because of pity, money and/or ideology.
Congratulations on being sober for more than a month. Your body fighting back against you is a predictable consequence of your brain playing tricks on you because it wants the thing. Like a lot of things that take a long time to get into, getting out of them takes a while too. Good luck.

All the talk about undeserving, and as it played out, it seemed like the most undeserving team was Oregon! Did they get respect this year because they were in the big 10? Because if this would’ve been Oregon from the past. They may not have even made the playoffs. The PAC 12 had no credibility, no respect. Nobody ever saw them play. I don’t want to hear anymore talk about undeserving… If you made it in, you deserve it!
They weren't undeserving they ran into the best team in the country playing their best football of the season finally. Nobody can stop Jerimiah Smith period.

Better defense, better special.teams, better coaching, better run game, better offensive line. Outside of passing, in what area is Georgia better than Notre Dame? Because I can't tell.what you're talking about.
I mean Im an NFL fan too and you see how the SEC has dominated the draft for so long they don't need to spin much. And look at the teams in the SEC they run a brutal gauntlet it's not just all the natties even the middle weight teams are stacked
Not this year
Then why didn't those mid teams win? Once everybody could pay players the so called dominance that was Bama mostly immediately stopped. That is weird. I am an Ohio State fan and wouldn't think of ever caring what the rest of the Big does. It is just really strange. Ohio State puts more players in the NFL than all SEC teams except maybe Bama and Georgia and playing one less conference game a year really helps keep your team fresh by playing that extra FCS school.
Have you considered micro dosing shrooms? Could help with any type of withdrawals, anxiety, moodiness, just a thought! Love you work keep it up

Shocking but you can be from the best conference, not not be the best team. It's happened, sure with teams from other conferences other than the SEC, but that has been the vast minority of years dating back for 25 plus years. Count up the national titles. Your telling me the 4th best team in the Big10 would beat the 4th best in the SEC? lol. No but NIL and the portal are improving most every team except the teams that had been getting the lions share of the top blue chips, Bama and UGA. OSU has gotten their share too so now it comes down to actual coaching and you can't lean on depth as much. The SEC is just harder to go out on the road and win. Most of your drafts and recruits are from the SE part of the US. We see the same SEC dominance in baseball, basketball etc vs any one specific conference. The worst SEC team, Mississippi State still hung 31 on UGA's defense in Athens in 24. Vandy beat Bama who still has massive depth. We don't see that in other conferences. But sure, they can spin a loss for the SEC. That's business because those teams like UGA has made them money for years, same with Bama. But they only do that for those teams. Did you see them spin any losses for TN? lol. How about anyone else not named UGA and used to be Bama. Until teams from other conferences start beating the best SEC teams and I mean more than one year out of like 8 or 10, well... They will only spin for teams that have won something lately. Has OSU won a title since what, 11 years ago? Has Clemson? One SEC coach amounted to 8 natties of 17 years, that's alot, than throw in a team that had two in a row in the last 4 years, UGA. Dominate and the media will spin for those teams too when they first start losing after years, and more recently of dominating. Been watching ball for over 45 years and this has always gone on when you've won a lot and recently and finally lose.
The 5th best team in BIG 10 beat the 3rd best team in the SEC. I don't know where Illinois ranked in the B1G but yeah beat a South Carolina squad everyone in the SEC was squawking about. The matchups were favorable to the SEC team and they still lost!
Didn't the team that finished 4th in the Big Ten (OSU) just dog walk the #3 ranked SEC team (Tennessee)?
Didn't a 9-3 South Carolina just lose to a 9-3 Illinois?
Stop with this idea that the SEC is somehow better.
Last year's SEC champ lost to the Big Ten champ and eventual national champion, Michigan.

You got one good team, and whatever UM is but it's not elite. IU whose elite as long as they don't play a ranked team. PSU whose a perpetual 10 win team. Not quite an elite team but will constantly win 8 to 10 games in that weak conference but never more.. That is just nowhere near the SEC when you look at teh rest of those conferences.
