The selection process does need some tweaking to it. I'm not suggesting that Alabama, Ole Miss, or South Carolina should have gotten in, but it hasn't been perfect yet.

For example, I'd argue that 2023 Georgia was the best team in college football; however, they didn't get a bid. In terms of this season, I'm okay with Indiana and maybe SMU (I struggle with that one) getting in over the aforementioned three SEC schools. Ultimately, I don't think a 3 loss team deserves a bid, but the seeding this year was jacked up. For example, I think Notre Dame is a much better team than Penn State. Yet, Penn State gets to play SMU and Boise State, while Notre Dame was rewarded with Indiana and Georgia. The selection process, as it currently stands, is flawed and needs to be adjusted.
Including any team that is ranked below #8 is just dumb. They aren't gonna win it.

That's a terrible call. He was already in the air at the time he punted. Incidental contact. If that was UGA that hit the punter, the TD would have counted and Kirby would still be bitching.
BK just got a gift but he still won't hit 10 wins.

I've had the same thought countless times about a few of the folks on IE. If a girl breaks your heart, you don't run around in public crying and yelling, "She didn't hurt me!" or celebrate when she gets her heart broken. That all just screams insecurity and "I'm hurt." You act indifferent. All the sarcastic "ESS EEE CEE" and "It just means more" and whining about SEC and Bama dominance makes you guys look really bad. There are a couple of SEC and Bama and Georgia boards that repost some of this stuff from IE and laugh at you about it.

You don't become better when someone more successful fails. You become better when they succeed and you get better than them. Gloating about the failures of someone who's been more successful is pathetic. Winners see success and want to climb to its level. Losers see success and want it to fall to their own. FFS, be Notre Dame, a legendary blue blood, and stop crying about the SEC. I love you guys and pull for ND most of the time, but this is beneath you.

Bishop, I live in Kentucky.

I’ve been listening to UK fans take credit for Alabama’s success on the football field since 2009.

Please don’t tell me to NOT take joy in the downfall of overinflated SEC teams.

13 of the last 18 NC's says that's envy talking. Stop whining and acting hurt by the SEC. It's pathetic. ND is supposed to be bigger than that. Top their success instead of griping about it. Do you want to win because your opponent slowed down or because you got faster?

Are you the one leading the SEC chants at all different sporting events? Take the L for your conferences performance this season and bowl season and step off your high horse and be quiet!

2 or 3 teams do not make up the whole SEC. It would be understandable if the whole conference was winning those championships.

I like him, but his true colors are coming out a little bit.

Bishop you can't deny that the SEC was literally built on the backs of Saban and Meyer and everyone else benefited. And of those 13 how many were Saban?

The SEC was built on the back of $ and an exceptionally high tolerance for low education standards and criminal behavior. Lol.
