The SEC gets credit for playing D and their title game is routinely in the 50s, 60s, 70s. Their D is actually worse.

It’s more of a conference perception than a specific team. For example the big ten had horrible offenses, that doesn’t mean OSU hasn’t had borderline unstoppable onesThat always drove me nuts. ISU was regularly holding BXII opponents 10-15 pts under their average, but "didn't play defense"
These long discussions about who should get in really highlight why this needs to go to 8 teams. The committee or the computers can debate this forever, or they could, you know....play games to decide it. At a minimum, the conference champs of the P5 (P4?) need to be in.
I've been in the shop for the last three hours. 35 points for Texas already? Geez.

Iowa somehow winning is actually max chaos because the small committee is always half blatant big ten homers or legendary figures.
I like Texas' schedule too! OOC, they played three FBS Bowl Teams (Rice, Wyoming and @ Alabama). The Big Xii teams are good too, especially that win @ Iowa State!
Personally, I think Texas is the best one loss team in the country, and it is not even close. Alabama is the second best one loss team, and Texas punked the Tide @ BDS.
I suppose Ohio State would be the third best one loss team, but I think both Texas and Alabama would beat the Buckeyes, and they both play today having to win to stay alive in the conversation.
Agree. That's the problem. ISU was giving up 20 pts per game, but gets lumped in with the ****** defenses.
Exactly. This won’t be a problem going forward because you have two ways to get in. Win your conference, which you fully control OR at large which there will be several spots up for grabs.
But this year with the current system, FSU wins? They need to be in.
Yes and No -
1) A lot of those games are blow outs. So, the high school is one side just getting their a** kicked
2) There are usually about 2-3 good offenses in the SEC. So when they meet in the title game, the defenses are slow to adjust
Is that settled? I knew it was up for strong consideration but I didn't know it was official. That's awesome.
TCU’s best teams have had some of the best defenses in modern college football.
The large amount of Big 12 qbs succeeding in nfl from just 10 teams is kind of proof of the whole thing.
I turned off the Ut-OSU game. I was getting physically ill watching Texas run away with it.
The Big Ten signed the big contract and all of a sudden its fans morphed into SEC fans.
We will see if Texas lets OSU come back in the second half like they have done with most all year. But woof OSU looks terrible. OSU has no defense, and is playing Texas as bad or worse than everyone this year.
Texas is going to run this up as much as possible. As much as I hate Texas them getting into the Playoff, just moves our Bowl draw up.

Hahaha i mean the SEC as a whole is overrated but Georgia and Bama deserve every bit of hype they have gotten, bama doesn’t deserve it this year but in the past they have.
Same here. I wanted Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State to all win this weekend. Four undefeated teams to send the four-team playoff out on.
All that cash didn’t keep 30% of Indiana’s players from entering the portal.
Their bottom half is always going to suck.
I could see the middle and bottom of SEC improving into something ridiculously tough though.
