TV Ratings for the National Championship Game.....

[Tit-e-skr]

There’s a story line here; but honestly, I’m not watching this. The fact that Bama is here irks the ish out of me b/c they didn’t win their conference OR DIVISION. This SEC bias crap has been going on for way too long. I don’t mind if a SEC team makes it, but stop w the all SEC national championship games when a team is not deserving; same back in 2012 or so when LSU faced Bama in the BCS title game and Bama didn’t win the division or conference and LSU already beat them in the season. Mark Emmert gotta go and this sham of a CFP committee gotta go too.

Why is it so hard for you guys to get it that their job is to put the best 4 into the playoffs, not conference champs. Clemson won the ACC and was dismantled by Bama.

Some of you were the same ones clamoring that if Miami beat Pitt, no matter what happened in the ACC title game, Miami would still get to the playoffs. What changed? Maybe the fact Miami and MR blew it against a half azzed team?

lol....so did UCF deserve to be in the playoffs?

Here was Alabama's schedule:

FSU (7-6 and that 7 is questionable at best)
Colorado St (7-6 non power 5)
Ole **** (6-6)
Arkansas (4-8)
LSU (9-4 second best win and this was the same team that lost to Troy and had an equally **** poor schedule)
Mercer (5-7 non FBS)
Fresno St (10-4 non power 5)
Vanderbilt (5-7)
Texas A&M (7-6)
Tennessee (4-8)
Miss St (10-3....best win)
Auburn (9-4)

Out of those teams, Bama had 3 non power 5 teams on their schedule and only beat two teams w/ a winning record in season which was Miss. St and LSU (who got smoked by Troy in the regular season). So not only did not they not win their conference or win their division, but they didn't even play a schedule worth a ****. So explain to me again how they deserved to be considered one of the best teams? I would argue that OSU deserved to be there over Bama. Let's look at their schedule:

Indiana (5-7)
Army (10-3)
Rutgers (4-8)
Nebraska (4-8)
Iowa (8-5)
Illinois (2-10)
Oklahoma (12-2)
UNLV (5-7)
Maryland (4-7)
PSU (11-2)
MSU (10-3)
U-M (8-5)
WISC (13-1)

Now OSU schedule ain't worth a **** either, but at least they beat PSU, and MSU in the regular season, had only Power 5 schools on their schedule w/ the exception of a 10 win Independent Team. They won their division and beat a 12 win Wisconsin team to win their conference. I hate OSU, but being that good ole Nick was hating on them and out of his OWN MOUTH said if a team who doesn't win it's division or conference doesn't deserve to be in the CFP just last year, then why would you or anyone else defend that troll for getting a pass this year?


This is the 2nd time a Bama team who didn't win it's division or conference was given the green light to play for an opportunity at the National Championship. To give context for my gripe, in 2000, we (my Miami Hurricanes, since I'm not sure you're a fan or troll) beat the #1 and # 2 teams in the same season and still didn't get in to the BCS championship game. Til this day, in the history of college football, no team who beat the two top teams in the same season and had less than 2 losses on the year have been excluded from the title game.

So if you don't think Bama gets privileged benefit of the doubts b/c they play in the SEC and they are old money of CFB, I got a bridge to sell you.

So you want to compare the system of the BCS, and it was new at the time with new flaws, to what they have now? Miami would have played for it all now and Bama wouldnt have then. It's two different eras of "championship selections". You can't be this dense, can you? Miami didn't get in because of how the formula graded out certain opponents. That did Miami in, nothing else. They changed that part of the equation later. Miami suffered because of it.

And Bama is better than OSU this year. Everybody can see it. That's the goal. Put the four best in the tourney. Even if it means a non conference champ over a conference champ. Bama whipped Clemson. Case closed.

You guys had no issues before the Pitt game clamoring that Miami belonged in the final four no matter what would happen against Clemson. But then burnt out CMR did what he does best, he blew it against Pitt.

Luckily the committee understands that just because you win your conference doesn't equate to one of the four best.

Lastly, they can't make being a conference champ a huge priority under the current system. It means ND could never be selected over a conference champ without there being a revolt. And they aren't eliminating ND by making that a prerequisite.

 

[Andrew]

It will be the highest rated national championship game ever.

Lmao. Andrew the uga fan is as delusional as ever.

Naa, he is 'Bama fan. Question the deity of Saban and he will chime in.

As a Falcons fan I can still respect Tom Brady for being the GOAT QB, so I don't see why I can't respect Saban for the the GOAT coach. I mean this dude ***** greatness, and got the formula right. Kirby Smart literally just copied Bama and year 2 he is in the title game. One day you will tell your grand kids how you couldn't stand Saban, but he is the greatest coach to ever live and that includes the NFL.

Y am I even entertaining this; ur missing the point. Nick Saban out of his own mouth said OSU didn’t belong in the CFP b/c they didn’t win their conference. He changed his tune this year. Furthermore Bama’s Schedule was criticized by many this year compared to OSU. Regardless, ur entitled to ur opinion. I’ll just agree not to agree w ur viewpoint, but I won’t bash it.

Nah, I think he will be just a part of a boring story to them...CFB will have been long destroyed by the $$$ Saban, Meyer, etc. and their schools used to make it a 12 team only race, fueled by their enabler, Mark Emmert. Ratings died, and it was all over circa 2025.

E$ECPN miscalculated this time. Sure, the huge Atlanta numbers will help, but the past tactic of making Alabama the Patriots of CFB is nowhere near as strong because of recent politics. Politics? Truth be told, E$ECPN has used 'Bama as a lightning rod or getting the casual fan to tune in, one who wants to see "that backward, redneck state" (and all that entails) get it's comeuppance. Daniel Tosh has two of his funniest bits playing on the stereotype.

Lo and behold, we had a special election which got huge media attention for months and one whose results painted Alabama in a different light to many casual fans predisposed to Alabama hating.

I just don't see the interested for an ulterior motive numbers being anything close to the past. As for the casual fans? Steely Dan said it best:

Who cares what Saban says....he's not part of the playoff committee. Why do you guys listen to "coach speak" and then throw it out there like its gospel or what they really mean without some hidden agenda behind it.

OSU didn't get in because they had two losses,,,,one of which was a big margin. The Big 10 was good this year, probably the best conference, but they lost big to Iowa, which ultimately did them in. You can't erase that loss.

Lastly, they can't make being a conference champ a huge priority under the current system. It means ND could never be selected over a conference champ without there being a revolt. And they aren't eliminating ND by making that a prerequisite.

Not to jump in but....

Why don't we write in Bama next year as well?
With their coach and talent, they will be one of the 4 best teams, regardless of record.

So now everyone is playing for 3 spots in the CFBP.

Lmao. Andrew the uga fan is as delusional as ever.

Naa, he is 'Bama fan. Question the deity of Saban and he will chime in.

As a Falcons fan I can still respect Tom Brady for being the GOAT QB, so I don't see why I can't respect Saban for the the GOAT coach. I mean this dude ****s greatness, and got the formula right. Kirby Smart literally just copied Bama and year 2 he is in the title game. One day you will tell your grand kids how you couldn't stand Saban, but he is the greatest coach to ever live and that includes the NFL.

You and @Meat are really dull.

who is better?

I don't think it's a stretch to say that 5 Super Bowl's tops 5 Natty's.

Belichik has 5 supes in 6 trips.
11 AFC championship game appearances.

Lombardi has 5 championships in 6 trips to the CG as well.
That was accomplished in only 9 seasons.

Saban's 2 years in the NFL resulted in a losing record.

Best ever in CFB but not overall, IMO.
I would have like to see what JJ would have accomplished here at Miami if he had decided to be a college lifer.

My guess is down because it focuses squarely on the southeast region of the country which will probably negatively affect overall national interest.

Well under the old rules the teams playing would have been OU vs Clemson. Maybe they should have a Not in Tournament game against those two!
