@Maccmaine_ @MichaelWBratton Tennessee played a cupcake and won by 32. Joe had 3 touchdowns.

[Bill @billfchan]

@Maccmaine_ @MichaelWBratton Got hurt in the 1st quarter of game 2 and Hooker never gave the spot back.

[Bill @billfchan]

@the7maxims AJ Johnson would be a great addition.

@JoshHallock1 Tennessee’s basketball coach got in trouble for the same thing as Harbaugh and received a 3 year show cause. Yes, the NCAA is a joke.

@BigGameBoomer 6-6

@NPerkins96 Reminder that Alabama’s greatest football tradition is singing a song written by a Tennessean that was inspired minutes from Neyland Stadium 🍊

@NCAA 👀

Jeremy Pruitt carried lots of cash during recruiting scandal at Tennessee.

But Pruitt's lawyer argued that's nothing new. He did the same thing as an Alabama assistant -- and proved it through Pruitt's bank records.

REMINDER:

An Alabama football player punched a helpless girl in Neyland Stadium and the supposed greatest football coach of all time not only didn’t punish him, but defended him.

@CFBNerds @fbintheboot @jacobzolman And Georgia was one play away from losing to the 11th-best SEC team and no one questions they have the most talent in the country. If you win your conference you earned it. If your resume only has “quality losses”, you didn’t.

[Bill @billfchan]

@fbintheboot @CFBNerds @jacobzolman The conversation is about giving all teams a chance to earn a playoff spot on the field as we do in every other sport vs a committee just picking teams based off perceived talent level regardless of merit.

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds @fbintheboot @jacobzolman I’m literally not. Most sports determine their playoff teams and playoff seedings based off on-field results in the regular season not cherry picking.

[Bill @billfchan]

@fbintheboot @jacobzolman @CFBNerds You’re right, using the only metric in college football that is determined by on field performance is a crazy idea. We should just pick a combination of the same 6 teams no matter what every year instead.

[Bill @billfchan]

@fbintheboot @jacobzolman @CFBNerds Alabama started the season with a chance to win their conference but finished 4th. They should not be rewarded with the playoffs. That’s how sports usually works.

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds It reduces room for mulligans in the conference schedule that you are worried about. It aslo does not discourage scheduling tough competition in the non conference like the system now does.

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds Again, a short sighted comment from you. If elite players know they have a better shot to make the playoffs at Utah or Oregon or whoever in the Pac12 and go there because the SEC and Big10 are limited to two teams, it will boost those teams over the course of 5-10 years.

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds Yes, and this is a short sighted argument on your part.

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds I gave you two factors

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds There should be auto-bids and teams that don’t make their conference championship should not qualify for the playoffs jmo

[Bill @billfchan]

@CFBNerds Cherry picking playoff teams has lead to the gap between the top teams and everyone else. When multiple times, teams you mentioned have got in over teams that beat them h2h and finished higher in conference standings, it disincentivizes top players from going anywhere else.
