The #SECBias I Warned You About Is Finally Here

I recommend everyone follow @SEC_Exposed on Twitter for a good laugh every Wednesday morning.  Florida State and Ohio State fans have been harping on this all season, since they know they can't lose one game while all might be forgiven for the other 3 conferences.  Their paranoia is rooted in the fact that they know the ACC is essentially equivalent to the Big-10 in the eyes of the football world.  SEC, Pac-12, and Big-12 teams, in that order, are much more capable of overcoming a loss on their record.  Instead of just acknowledging this, the College Football Playoff Committee continues to make it up as they go along.  They have to be thanking Roger Goodell for hijacking the "making it up as they go" storyline.  For anyone who watched the sham last night with Jeff Long, it was like opposite day.  Everything he said was either dead wrong or easily refuted.  The committee even added a new metric to the college football lexicon deemed "Game Control," only to quickly demonstrate that they don't understand it.  Here are some of Jeff Long's reasons for the rankings:

1. "Alabama's team is clearly #1."  They lost to an overrated, soon-to-have 3 losses Ole Miss team, and barely beat a 5-loss Arkansas team on a missed extra point 14-13.  Bama needed LSU to shank a kickoff for a game-tying score to force OT versus 4-loss LSU.  Clearly #1.

2. "Alabama had a decisive victory against Miss St." - They won an ugly game 25-20. Hardly decisive.
3. "Alabama is the country's most complete team." Alabama ranks 2nd in defense & 40th in offense.  Baylor is #1 on Offense & #19 on Defense, so that's complete bullshit on its face.
4. "Miss St. didn't fall out because they were within striking distance of Alabama."  You can't have it both ways.  You've now given credit to Bama for a "decisive" win and to Miss St. for a close game.
5. "Miss St. stayed in the top 4 because of its overall resume."  Miss St.'s biggest wins are LSU (4 losses), Texas A&M (4 losses), & Auburn (soon-to-have 4 losses).  Their out of conference games included Southern Miss, Univ. Alabama Birmingham, South Alabama, & Tennessee Martin.  Baylor doesn't get credit for their loss against West Virginia, even though West Virginia was Alabama's signature win until last Saturday.  TCU's only loss was to Baylor, but they had to come from behind against Kansas.  God forbid.

6. "Florida State remained at #3 and TCU dropped from #4 to #5 because they have not controlled games."  Florida State wins a close game on the road in Miami and is docked points?  Bama would've moved into the top 4 with that win, not moved further away.  And as for TCU not controlling games, TCU beat in-conference opponents by avg. of 16.14 pts. Miss St. avg = 10.5 pts, Baylor avg. = 18.5 pts.  In the retarded, meaningless Game Control rankings, 4-loss Miami was ranked 11th, while undefeated FSU was 34th.  Arkansas was ranked 13th with 5 losses.  Now that's control.

Do you think Alabama will be docked any points this week for playing the cupcake Western Carolina Catamounts at this point in the season?  Don't hold your breath.  And another thing - Why the fuck isn't College Gameday coming to Pasadena for the USC-UCLA game?  The only Pac-12 game Gameday went to this whole season was Michigan State @ Oregon, which is a two-fer for ESPN.  They would never miss a grudge match SEC game like Mizzou @ South Carolina.  Cuz everyone was beating down their door for that game.  This weekend, College Gameday has decided to go to their 2nd Division II game (FCS) of the season with Harvard vs. Yale.  North Dakota St vs. Incarnate Word wasn't enough for 2014.  Those bastards at ESPN are so scared to showcase any teams not in the SEC, they wouldn't dare open the door for UCLA to back into the Final Four playoff.

Even Ohio State QB JT Barrett went after the SEC Bias this morning.  He's right.
