Feel free to post all the criteria you use before SOS to rank/separate teams from different conferences. 10 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said: Just stick with Auburn did not care about the peach bowl last year it is a much simpler argument. Auburn lost because of the $7M+ anchor running the team. And after yesterday's big win over Perdue, I can only hope the Auburn AD feels pressured to give that anchor another big fat extension with even a bigger buyout clause. 1 Quote

I agree 11-1 in the American is not superior to 10-2 in SEC but to tell an undefeated in 2018 when the talent is so wide spread around college football they do not belong is absurd. I will state this-a small win over a lesser opponent should still be looked at as superior as a small loss to a great team. I have been to Gator games when they won titles, FSU games when they won titles, Syracuse games when they were top 10 and UCF games the past two years-the best offense I have watched regularly without a doubt is UCF. They can hit you in more ways with more speed than anyone else I have ever seen besides Nebraska with Tommy Frazier. But please tell me why why Auburn was pumped so highly for that POS bowl game yesterday when last year they could not get up for a bowl game in their proverbial backyard against a UCF team who was undefeated? oh bad coaching-and I always thought coaching was part of football. But on seperate note- in 2010 the Oregon Ducks were in the title game despite only beating one ranked team all year-in fact the second best record team they faced was 8-5 in a pathetic PAC 12- so why were they #1 and UCF not top 4 when being undefeated last year and beating 3 top 25 teams in regular season? I know I am all over the place but I am done with this conversation because I think I proved my point- every argument goes back to who they played not how they played. Lastly if they lose to LSU this week I will be sad and state they did not belong in title game but if they win-back to back titles. Someone has to beat them to make them not Champs. Anyone who loves sports believes you play to win the game and whether by 1 or 80 if you always win you are champs. Quote

Orlando Buffalo Posted January 1, 2019 Author Posted January 1, 2019 LSU beat UCF and was the better team today. I give them credit that they knew how to challenge and stop Mack who looked every bit the freshman starting his third game. I am happy with UCF as they kept fighting even after making so many mistakes. I though must be satisfied that the NCAA recognizes their title last year. Quote

Any teams that can square off for 60 minutes of good football are aces in my book. if it doesn’t happen it doesn’t reflect poorly on the team that won easily. Quote

Row where did i insult LSU?- I said they were better today. I think they are really good team and did what good teams do- take advantage of the other teams weakness just as UCF tried to take advantage if their CBs. Quote

I don’t have a clue what you inferred there... I had nothing to pinpoint on your comment.... My second comment there meant I don’t blame Bama for a cakewalk win, I wish it was a good game they had to play.... Edited January 1, 2019 by row_33 Quote

Bama and Clemson and couldn’t have cared less for below that the rest of the season it gets really greasy past the top 10, it doesn’t really matter any way hoops is far worse as top teams play each other early piling up multiple losses while kidmajors play nobody and wind up with top seeds in March Bama was number one by a million miles.... 1 Quote

Based on the strength of their opponents I agree. Clemson doesn't play anybody but they are stacked with talent and can win on the 7th. Quote
