Hopefully Alabama and Georgia dominating the two best non-SEC teams in the nation en route to the national title game makes everyone admit once and for all that the SEC is just different. A one loss SEC team is oftentimes better than an undefeated team from another conference. A two loss SEC team is oftentimes better than a one loss team from another conference. A four loss SEC team is usually better than an undefeated or one loss Group of 5 team (Cincinnati this year and 2017 UCF being the recent exceptions).

Cincinnati actually put up a fight and probably played Alabama as close as anybody else could have. Michigan just didn't even show up, but that's expected given their coach.

lol what? Bama lost to Texas A&M, barely beat LSU, and barely beat Auburn. Three teams that are average by SEC standards played Bama way closer than Cincinnati. Not saying that those teams are better than Cincy. But the gap isn't as large as one would think.

Because two data points prove exactly whatever you want them to. You just love posting ludicrously biased posts that suit whatever point you want to make and remain silent if it doesn't support your worldview.

Nah, it just proves that the SEC is less balanced than other conferences. The SEC as a whole is 5-6 in bowl games. The American's only loss is to Alabama, Mountain West is 5-1, Big 12 is 4-2, Big 10 is 6-4 with one of those losses being by a replacement team. Yes, the best teams in the SEC are very good. The rest of the conference is not. The current format rewards teams that can dominate their conference, so it puts balanced conferences at a disadvantage.

What are two more examples of these "ludicrously biased posts" ?

Well, I'd hate to break it to Montana State fans, but, so much for all of the Tommy Mallot hype. He got hurt in the FCS championship game against the now 9-time FCS champs North Dakota State Bison. Score: 38-10. At least the in-state rival Montana Grizzlies were spared this headache having beaten the Bobcats in the renewed 121st Brawl of the Wild game despite getting bumped out of the playoffs. A co-worker of mine at the local grocery store I work for in Missoula asked for a shift cover for Saturday the 8th because he wanted to see the Bobcats. Well, wah, wah, waaaaaaah! So much for that, eh? LMAO! By the time I see him, oooooh. We're gonna rag tag this dude! See, that's what happens when you become a Cats fan in good ole Montana. Sad the Griz didn't go to Frisco, but they have the Great Divide Trophy!

Congrats to the Georgia Bulldogs on winning the 2022 National Championship! So glad that Bama lost.

UMass up next?

After 40+ years of waiting, UGA definitely deserves it. Fate has been very kind to the Peach State lately, because this championship comes about two months after the Braves won the World Series.

I wonder: when UGA played at Tech this season, how much of the crowd was wearing red? I'm guessing at least half.

So how about them Bills? Time to go smash some tables after that amazing game tonight.

Exactly... why announce on February 2 if a "hog" isn't somehow involved.  Washington Warhogs it is.   The wingtipped W letter logo they've been using still works.  It alliterates.  It isn't War*t*hog which others have already trademarked, and/or used (not that anybody remembers MiLB Winston-Salem Warthogs...)
