SEC remains the premier conference. Missouri beats Ohio State; Ole Miss beats Penn State; and Georgia is destroying Florida State.
Yes, Auburn and Kentucky got beat.
Georgia should have been in the final four.
And then, Alabama plays Michigan ...
If Georgia was in the final 4 without winning their conference, who would you have left out? Alabama who beat them in head to head? Or some other team?
The crowd was yelling SEC at Penn State.
a&m sux, too.
The teams with superior NFL recruits sit out. Ohio is one of those teams that are superior in the talent department. Mizzou likely had full participation by the team in the game. In a year or so, the SEC will lose its edge. It came from their ability to stack recruits, they would promise players they would be on the team, then go out and continue to recruit. In other conferences, like the PAC 12, if they had 20 spots to fill with recruits, they were only allowed to offer 20. Not exactly that, but close. Alabama would have 20 spots, and would recruit 80. Other schools would quit pursuing the athletes they thought that Bama had in hand, and then Nick the Saban would have them walk on. Promising a spot next year, or maybe if someone wasn’t quite as good as they thought. Look at Colorado, they literally released recruits from scholarships. I didn’t know they could legally do that, it wasn’t common knowledge, or is that new?
IMHO, Georgia got the worst deal - they lose one game by three points on a neutral field ... and they get dropped from Number 1 to Number 6?! You had two unbeaten teams in Michigan and Washington so they're in. But Alabama and Texas..... a case can be made for Georgia to replace them. Next season it will all be moot as they expand it to 12 teams (?!).
