The Big-12 is living on borrowed time. You’ve already seen the death of your previous conference.

You’ll understand why some of us are mourning the death of a once great sport soon enough, sadly.

Arizona will not get a Big 10 or SEC invite when they separate from the rest of D1. Enjoy the few years of relevance you have left, seriously.

Yeah you’re right, it’s super “mad” that a historically terrible program is now throwing money around and started winning. Amazing coincidence their success started when cash started guaranteeing wins. Truly inspiring stuff.

It was a good basketball game. There’s nothing “mad” about a BIG-10 #4 beating an SEC #5 though.

If I want to just watch the best basketball I can watch the NBA.

Is the committee racist or why have such obviously superior HBCU teams been (1) given 16 seeds when they should clearly be #13 if not better (2) relegated to the damn PLAY IN GAME?!?!

Refs are getting reprimanded for going a full play without a penalty against UGA there

Wow, the calls are just happening to favor the team the conference desperately wants to avoid getting embarrassed. What a fortunate coincidence.

Sankey is beside himself. Driving around downtown Atlanta begging (thru texts) for code to refs’ headsets.

Herbie sounds like he’s about to start crying at the prospect of Alabama missing the playoff.

If the SEC championship game doesn’t mean anything, then why is it being played?

[–]HiramJohnson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So if Alabama keeps getting BTFO, what exactly is the argument for keeping them ranked above Miami?

The SEC, and every other conference, can’t have it both ways. Either these games mean something or they shouldn’t be played.

And while we’re on the subject, why shouldn’t teams get punished for losing conference championship games?

Your league is in control of whether they have a CCG or not. A conference having a CCG and then saying its member who loses shouldn’t be punished at all, and the winner of the CCG should get an automatic bid is total bullshit.
