That is pretty much the difference between the two conferences.
If anybody ask you what the difference between the two conferences are just say well the SEC is nine times better.

9 times better

But, but, but…Texas Tech beat Ole Miss!!!

For the teams at the top, sure. But not across the board.

The CFP Committee needs to do some serious soul searching this morning. That was a disservice to TcU, UGA, and college football fans in general. TcU had no business being put into the top 4 discussion. I would guess that they would probably have been just over .500 in the SEC W. All conferences are NOT created equally.

The big thing that got me was the Big 12's non- conference record. What was the most meaningful win the league had vs. an out of conference opponent?

Kansas State over Missouri?
Iowa State over Iowa?
Tech and Kansas beating Houston?
TCU over SMU?

Seriously - find me one decent non-conference win this year by anybody in that league.

Tcu over Michigan. In the playoffs, nonetheless.

Look, we all knew tcu was going to get destroyed by Georgia, but they won the semi-final. It's not like they got destroyed in the semis.

I meant in the regular season when they were deciding who gets into the playoffs abs who does not.

TCU lizards

When evaluating regular season and conference championship resumes, the Big 12 didn't have much to showcase this year. Texas *almost* beating Alabama was probably the best thing the league did in non-conference play.

Agree. They performed better than OU any of the times they got there.

Do away with cup cake games. Schedule non conf games two years out. All non conf are p5 vs p5. Match records from prev two years to determine schedules.

Teams that win 1 or no games for two years get demoted to group of 5. G of 5 teams that go undefeated two years in a row get promoted.

This post is the kind of thing that makes our fanbase look bad to others.

This game is nothing more than Georgia 65 - TCU 7. It says A LOT about Georgia. It says very little, if anything, about the SEC. No one in the SEC competed with Georgia this season. Acting like Georgia crushing TCU says anything about the SEC or A&M is ignorant. We didn't even get the "honor" of being destroyed by them, but maybe we can put one of their National Championship banners up in Kyle.

I guess if we are going to look at one game and translate that to how a team would do in another conference, we would be a bottom feeder in the mighty Sun Belt Conference.

This does say a lot about Georgia, and I don't like what it says I was hoping someday the Alabama dominance would end. It probably has, but is likely to be replaced by the Georgia dominance. I don't see that as good for any other college football fanbase, including us.

Curious if they sent their Big12 champ what the outcome would be?

I generally agree, but Georgia was on the ropes against both Mizzou and Kentucky, and OSU nearly made last night not happen. Georgia brought their A+ game. No one can compete against them when that happens.

Sec scheduling is just different. Would TCU be able to bounce back next week and compete with Lsu, then still have enough in the tank to not get destroyed by Bama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, A&M, etc? What would TCU's record be had they played Mississippi State or Tennessee's schedule? It's one thing to do well in a bowl game on 3 weeks rest, and no games afterward, but could they excel week to week with an SEC schedule?

Ultimately, I think the only mistake that was made was in playoff seeding. It should have been:

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
4. TCU

I think this would have given us a better national title game and potentially really good semi-final games. With 2 losses each, there was no justification to put Bama, Tennessee, Clemson, USC, or anyone else in the playoffs ahead of TCU. But I do think they were too concerned with a nearly immediate UM-tOSU rematch that the committee was blinded to what the actual best seeding should have been.

Maybe all the good teams should stop consolidating into the same conference.

Greatest margin of victory all year for Georgia.
Highest point total all year.

You could make the case that tcu was the worst team Georgia played all year.

If the game last night doesn't convince you, watch the NFL draft board in April.

Conference piggybacking.

Winning by proxy is more embarrasing than simply losing.

OP riding them UGA coattails I see. Sounds like an Arkansas fan. I wonder when our rings will be in since we play in the same conference of a team who couldn't give 2 sh*ts about us.

It fascinates me how so many people, here and elsewhere, make such snap judgments based on essentially ONE data point and don't take the big picture, changing circumstances, responses to results, and human nature into account.

So many were picking TCU to win, including such pundits as Stephen A and I believe Lee Corso. Based on what, just the final scores of the semis and the general play of the teams involved(?).

Let's look at the semis and what messages were sent and what was received and the probable aftermath.

UM/TCU. Frogs came out like their hair was on fire. UM busts first play for 50+ yards. Boneheaded decisions by Harbaugh keeps Wolverines from scoring. This fired up TCU even more and gave them confidence. Then the improbable unfolds. Frogs get not just one, but two pick-sixes! 14 free points. 21 if you include a TD for wolvie on their first series.

Michigan won that game everywhere but the scoreboard which, of course, is what counts ultimately.

OSU/UGA. Buckeyes had the dawgs down by 2 tds but couldn't hold it. Even so, they were one non-shanked FG from winning. Which obviously didn't happen. Case could be made that OSU won the game in many aspects... except the scoreboard. Still what counts.

The football gods didn't want to see not only no rematch but neither of the B1G participants to advance.

Here's my take on the aftermath. At the very least, TCU was emotionally spent and had nothing left for the title game. UGA was embarrassed by how they played in the semi and were not going to allow a repeat in the final.

TCU never had a chance. Especially after the bad break on their opening possession. After being down 10-0 they had enough to cut it to 10-7 but the tank was empty. UGA proceeded to remove any chance of an upset as we saw.

That's my take, would be happy to see rational responses. We shall see, LOL.

Last night was a big win for us

Made me laugh….

I know SEC is the strongest conference in football, but its mainly been a few dominant teams for a long time now.

Laughing my ass off at sip fans and BDF. So you wanna play big boy football, eh? Lol.
We showed once again how dominant we are and when bama is down for a year Georgia comes in and picks us up without missing a beat.

It's going to become a lot stronger:

Freeze at Auburn
Kiffen at Ole Piss
Kelly at LSU
Heupel at Tenn
OU and Sips recruiting at a high level and joining soon

One busted coverage play by Georgia accounted for 1/3 of tcu's total yardage, and their eventual lone score. What was in TCU's tank was irrelevant and wildly presumptive. Georgia was just that much better and looked, physically, like men playing boys.

Except UGA beat the top ranked Big12 worse than the last place SEC team.

Teams that played UGA far better than TCU.
LSU 50-30
G TECH 37-14
UK 16-6
TENN 27-13
MIZZ 26-22
KENT ST 39-22
OSU 42-41

just throwing it out there it since 1998 or over the last 25 years the following teams have won a nationa championship from the sec.

bama
georgia
florida
auburn
tennessee
LSU

that's half for the original conference before they expanded to add us and mizzou. no other conference has more than 2.

sec is the minor leagues of football.

Georgia's most lopsided victory in SEC play was against Vanderbilt 55-0

but...
Michigan beat Ohio St
TCU beat Michigan
Ohio St almost beat Georgia
but Georgia crushed TCU.

It's just the way college football is sometimes.

That being said, I think TCU was incredibly lucky to have made it to the final. They went 12-0 during regular season, but didn't look dominant doing it, barely winning many of those games. Then they lost the Big 12 Championship, but still squeaked into the playoff. Got really lucky again against Michigan, barely winning a game after Michigan had a TD taken away and gave up 2 pick 6's.
