Not really. Pretty sure he got drunk & then ran from the police. That has nothing to do w/ who someone roots for, it's just stupidity on his part.

That was stupid. But we were talking about the flag planting.

opinion based on which team you follow meaning if you were an oklahoma fan it was ok but if you Ohio St, or are an oregan fan that tries to pile on he made an ass of himself.

Still wrong. The fact that one conference has more teams will always give them an advantage. Let me use this analogy. It’s like a 6A school playing a 4A school. The larger school should have better athletes because they have a larger pool to choose from.

If you are just comparing the top 4 to 6 schools, and both leagues are top-loaded, then you would most likely be correct; but it's just the opposite when you are sampling the top two, the middle two & the bottom two. That almost always favors the smaller league.

If you are only judging the top four from each league, then Conference B would be the better league, even though Conference A had the highest-ranked team.

Funny how the people who cried SEC bias for so long are happy when it's a clear bias towards their conference.

Couldn't even make the playoffs last year, got shut out and embarrassed the last 2 times they've made the playoffs and somehow they are the best conference?
There you go again bringin' facts into the discussion again. We can't have any of that crap man!

That's if you are only looking at one season. If you are looking over multiple seasons then the larger conference still has the advantage.

the only thing i come away from this thread...is that Nebraska has been largely irrelevant but not shitty enough to be mentioned in anything.

Size does matter? Must be some kind of privilege going on.

Did they consider illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Maryland, and Minnesota?

I will answer that after Purdue beats the top 5 offense. Northwestern finished ranked # 17 wtf?

1. Actually make the playoffs if you want to be considered with the big boys.
2. Score a TD.

I think Ohio State scored 6 TDs on Alabama . Only thing that kept them in the game was a couple "lucky" calls by the refs or it would have been over in the third quarter.

So fucking what? Alabama has won 2 national championships since then and the only thing Ohio St has done is get shut out by Clemson.
