Talk To Your Kids About the SEC Myth
-
To be honest, Alabama has no business playing against 'Charlston Southern' whoever the fuck they are. 7 TDs in the first half says as much as you need to know about that. Or Louisiana-munroe, or any of those no-name schools. Same goes for basically every team that's trying to win the championship. They're basically exhibition games and are pointless.
Schedule games against competitive teams so that the 'objective' playoff rankings actually mean something and are based on something besides "well OSU only scored 8 TDs this week and Alabama scored 9, so we're swapping them round"

I think we saw Saturday that the chances of losing that OOC game are not at all mitigated by it being later in the year.

Well, sure, when your out of conference game is a cupcake.
The thing is though.....Alabama, unlike Florida with FSU, Georgia with Ga. Tech. South Carolina with Clemson, Kentucky with Louisville and maybe a couple of others, do not have a mandated game against an in state rival.
Their instate rival is in their conference, that situation allows them basically to schedule another OOC cupcake.
TAMU bugged out of their big in state rival game....though it would be nice to see the TU-TAMU game again on Thanksgiving weekend, which used to be a big tradition.

Ohio State played Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and the mighty Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii 3 of the first 4 games, smh

Read literally the next line he typed up
I did make a mistake in that sentence.....I left something out. I meant to say "Unlike Florida, S. Caro. Georgia, KY......Alabama does not have a statute mandated game against an in state out of conference Power5 opponent.
Hopefully that clarifies what I meant to say.
For some states, their big in state rivals are part of their conference: Alabama/Auburn, Mississippi/Miss. St., Tennessee/Vandy
The Pac 10 in state rivals all also play Saturday: USC/UCLA Wash/WSU Ore/OSU, Ariz/ASU
It is rivalry week in the Big Ten too. Some are in state: Indiana/Purdue, Illinois/NW, out of state: Iowa/Nebraska....which I consider a pretty good natural rivalry. I am not sure but I think Wisc/Minn.

Those teams are all very much on a higher standard than Charleston Southern. They are all FBS, CSU is FCS.

Kudos for calling them TU, Gip.
You mean Texas, Tennessee, or Trinity.

They all stink. Playing The Little Sisters of the Poor as opposed to Rochester School for the Blind isn't a difference

Yikes. MSU got destroyed.

Msu was not the best in the conference by a long shot. OSU had a terrible game vs them. That was more about us than them.
