If all those SEC upsets didn't happen, SMU and IU would be out of the playoff right now. 
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....

Upset Saturdays happen once a season usually but I don't recall its being concentrated so much in one conference.

Thanks for your contribution.  The point is that a 1-loss IU would be out.  Maybe focus on the point.

So his point was that the inevitable happens?  Great point.
Hey guys, water is wet.

We often hear the expression "Water is wet", but rarely is there any discussion as to WHY that is the case and why water is such an unusual molecule.

It's really weird stuff.

As I stated a week or so ago, I think a 1-loss Indiana is in over any 3-loss SEC team

and upsets to 2-loss SEC teams makes more 3-loss teams to prove against

with a bunch of 2-loss SEC teams, perhaps the Hoosiers are out.

I'd still put them in over 1-loss squads like SMU and Tulane

IU's resume would be better than SMU's?

yup, in my opinion

SMU lost to BYU, not Ohio St.
big wins for SMU??? a couple 7-4 teams - Pitt & Louisville

best win?  @ 8-3 Duke by a point

Easier to be set in your ways if you never expose yourself to other people.

You're so skewed, it hurts.
  Enjoy your bubble.  I'm tired of being disappointed by you. 
Nurse OAM is out again, just when I think you've run out of crass comments you come up with these toppers. And that's just from 2 threads in the last couple of hrs. Any other rare gems you've mined today for the congregation? Being passionate is not an excuse for being an ass.
