let's wait until December to worry about a conference getting screwed by the SEC and the committee
Sound advice.

Has the SEC gotten a spot in the playoff ahead of someone that didn't get thumped by a mediocre team?  If not, then can we stop the belly-aching?

Who was left out in 2017?  Was that the 2017 season or when the playoffs were played 2017?

2017 season. My school was left out at 12-1, in favor of Bama, after a close (27-21) loss to OSU in the B1G CCG. 

Both were 0-1 against the top-10 that season, after the CCG's, and both were 3-1 against the top 25. Both lost their last games prior to the postseason. They had very similar SOS rankings at that time.

Bama didn't win its division. Wisconsin did.

Of course, Bama got hot and won the MNC anyway, but I think UW should have been in, despite losing in the CCG.

Yeah, Wisconsin did not lose to a pastry that year and was left out.  People forget that.

Don't get me wrong - I was happy to see them pummel Miami in their home stadium. It's always good to beat the brakes off the Canes.

It's interesting that last year UGA "almost" (sorta) got in after losing a CG, and with an additional pretty bad loss during the season.  I don't think many were claiming Wisconsin should be included that year cited.  Some thought OSU should be included of course, which was a rational thought.

I actually hate Miami more than I hate OU, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Notre Dame combined.  

So, like... a lot.

That Cotton Bowl was a long time ago, my friend.

Am I allow to hate Stan Thomas still, even though I don't follow WWEFL anymore? Heh.

It wasn't just the Cotton Bowl, it was their overall sleazy grossness for all of those years.

But yeah, if you had been a Texas fan at that Cotton Bowl, you'd feel just like me.  Single most miserable game experience of my life, and I attended UCLA beating us 66-3 at home, as well as 63-14 and 65-13 losses to the hated Sooners at the Cotton Bowl.

January 1, 1991-- a date which will live in infamy.
