Agree. You get the same amount of credit for beating Lindenwood, Three Wood or IvegotWood as you do for beating Central Michigan, Lefturn Michigan, or Technical Michigan. The difference is that one of those schools may actually be good enough or lucky enough on a Sat to scare you (or beat you). So if you get no credit for beating either of them….play the lesser.

Missouri State was FCS when we played. This will be their first year as FBS.
It’s amazing how many “fans” just look for a reason to complain. People are talking about playing lesser D1s and emptying the bench.

Weird how an 11-2 SMU that didn’t win their conference got in over a 9-3 Bama last season 
.
I don’t want one of my season ticket games used on teams like this.
Hey champ,
Well, SMU played a nobody team so you proved my point.
I wasn’t the one that stated they would choose a 9-3 brand school over an 11-2 non-BB school.
You stated:
SMU literally proved last season that’s not the case. Maybe we don’t have to play a CMU for this to happen. However, it’s going to be a little harder to keep out an 11-2 OSU that’s played all D1 schools with a victory against a MAC champion compared to a 9-3 Bama team, beating an FCS squad, that didn’t even play for their own conference title.
I don’t care as long as they play at least one decent team in non conference. No more years like 2015 Central Michigan, Central Arkansas and UTSA.

This is the most intelligent thing you’ve posted. I dropped your “hey champ” intro for this one.
Hey champ,
Not what I said.
…is what I said. I didn’t say it was a foregone conclusion that they would choose Bama. I said beating CMU over beating Lindenwood wasn’t going to tip the scales. SMU got in because they had some nice wins, their losses were to good teams, and Bama lost to a crappy OU and a scrappy (but historically bottom-feeding) Vandy. SMU played a rum dum and it hurt them not in the least. Your example literally disproved your point.
if you’re going to lie at least pay attention to the context of your own post, and don’t cut part of it out . It’s clear as day here Chump. I gave you evidence it wouldn’t be the case (SMU) and you didn’t realize how idiotic your post sounded. I just simply said CMU looks better on the schedule.
SMU didn’t have a top 25 win all year. My example is based on the entire context of your post you made. You’re trying to detract from what you actually stated. Maybe next time be smart enough not to post your OPINION and don’t treat it as a fact 
.
Hey champ,
Let me break it down for you.
1.) You made the stupid statement that CMU was a better win than FCS Whoever State because you want to crap on the team as usual.
2.) I said it didn’t matter. They were going to take an 11-2 Big XII school with a better record or a big name SEC school and that wouldn’t be a factor.
3.) You, being a contrarian a-hole that can’thelp himself, used evidence that dunked on your original trollish assertion trying to disprove what I didn’t even say.
4.) My point actually was that it was more about what Alabama did (or didn’t do) that mattered, not the lower tier school. If Bama had the exact same record, but their losses were Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee, they’d be in even if SMU did the exact same thing. SMU played a competent schedule full of good P4 teams. Playing better teams didn’t matter. It was an indictment of Bama, not a reward for SMU.
No, I just think it would be more beneficial as a victory for a resume. So there’s no doubt we would be a better option as a solid 11-2 square compared to a 9-3 Bama. Which you clearly stated.
Except that’s not exactly what you were relating. It’s in context of beating Oregon and a Big 12 Champion in the regular season. That was clearly the “factor” that you implied in comparison with a 9-3 Bama.
What exactly did it disprove? All I said is that it would look better. Especially if you don’t plan on winning your own conference. If you’re in competition with another school for a playoff spot, and let’s say you have a W against a 10-3 MAC champion that happens to be #25 in the nation. That obviously is going to be a better victory than against Piss State U. Especially if your vying against a school that has a similar schedule to you that has more losses, and a weaker schedule. Maybe that doesn’t make sense in the Gundy universe you live in. However, not everyone thinks that way. Especially a playoff committee. Learn to think some.
I’m sure it was .
lol, this might be one of better responses, but we also need to be smart with the season.
Hey champ,
Except you ALREADY pointed out that SMU got in and they played your Alma Mater, Piss State, so it didn’t matter. Then you went on to say SMU didn’t have any quality wins at all which further undercuts your own argument. Your ability to argue against even yourself is astounding.
You keep quoting me, but you should actually read what I said. They want Bama in because of their name and conference. Bama had to give them good reasons to exclude them (headscratching losses) or the Big XII (ACC, G5) school has to give them good reasons to include them (like a marquee win or two). CMU (even if they’re the MAC champ, which you’d be trying to speculate out 10 years out prior), is not a marquee win.
I’ve already let you know this isn’t an issue. Go back and read what I first posted. I never said we wouldn’t get in. I simply just said a win against a MAC champion is better for your resume than some school nobody has ever heard about. Take a look at my first two posts:
You’re trying to tell me I’ve disproven a point I never even truly made. Never said we wouldn’t be able to get in over a 9-3 Bama. Simply said it looks better on the schedule. You’re the one that said we needed a couple of great wins to beat out a 9-3 Bama, not me. So stop lying and trying to tell me I’ve said something I never did. You’re trying to argue something I never said. Because you can’t seem to pay attention to what’s being said. Your ability to make things up for other people might work on them. It won’t work on me .
Hey champ,
Story of your life, I’ll bet. People calling your crap on points you never seem to make.
Anyway, continue arguing with yourself. You’re doing fine.
I’ve been beating this drum for a while and I’ve gone back and forth with Ketchup on it. I don’t want these FCS teams on the schedule. Give me 1 P5, 1 G5, and Tulsa every year.

Because our P5 is Alabama, I have no problem with this. The sec has shown the type of games can help. That being said, with the realignment, our P5 has to be a blue blood if we are going to have non D1
Except you didn’t call me out on anything. Because I never made any kind of statement that said we would be left out. It was actually you that stated this. You can’t just go around creating things someone never said. That’s called being a narcissistic lying hypocrite.
