First time since 2000 all SEC teams have 3 losses.

Sec cant handle other teams being allowed to pay players

and the 2 teams playing wouldn’t have made the 4 team playoff. ESECPN is shitting their pants right now.

If you go back the last 20 years or so all the SECs competition was hammered by the NCAA at points but not 1 major SEC team was, Ole Miss was the closest one.

Ohio State
Michigan
FSU
Miami
Oklahoma
USC
Oregon
Penn State

Yet all these teams had tons of scandals, or similar scandals to the teams above or smoke of scandals with pretty much 0 punishments
LSU
Auburn they knew Cam Newton was doing similar shit to Reggie Bush and let him play with just ZERO game suspension no strip of Heisman or NC, etc.
Alabama
Florida
Georgia literally did the same thing as the tat5 with 0 punishment, btw Tressel only did not tell the NCAA about it cause the FBI told him not to talk about it because of an ongoing investigation into the tattoo parlor.
Miss State
Texas AM, they literally knew Manziel was doing similar shit to Reggie Bush and let him play with just half a game suspension no strip of Heisman or NC, etc.

SC and Ole Miss had minor punishments compared to some of the teams above mentioned.

Alabama was punished for players selling text books. We lost scholarships and everything, but yeah no punishment…. :biglol

You vacated 21 games during a terrible 3 season run and Saban’s worst season. Well, 1 2005 Shula season was good. Per the article I just read, you did not lose scholarships though.


Alabama will be forced to vacate 21 football victories that came under the watch of former coach Mike Shula and current coach Nick Saban, the university said in a release.

The football program, which will not lose future scholarships, and the other 15 teams have been put on three years' probation

Ttown mensware, enough said, how did Julio, Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson afford that shit, and why was Trent Richardson eating dinner with the guy? If nothing wrong was done why did they ban him from the program?

Haha clinton dix paid directly by a coach, pretty much 0 punishment

DJ Fluker

like 10 #1 recruiting classes in a row starting when they sucked, at Alabama this isn't Miami or USC where there was an actual reason why you could recruit like that when they are good.

This whole thing proves my point if that was FSU, OSU, Oklahoma, USC they would have had a bowl ban probably and lost 10 scholarships.

Zero proof of anything :biglol

Every school was cheating, mine was just better at it and you’re pissy because yours sucked at it

You are correct. I was even mixing them up and was thinking we had scholarship losses, but I was thinking it was from the 2000-2002 issues and not the text book. I was wrong in thinking that one too. We had bowl ban, and probation from that, and then more probation, players suspended for multiple games, and forfeitures because the athletes hooked their friends up with books.



Still though, Bama was one of the most punished in the 90’s/00’s.

Craig is just wrong, like usual, and he’s can’t quit crying about the SEC even though his team is in the NC with virtually a free win, considering they are playing ND

I wouldnt even say much better bama was slightly better from 2008 to current

Osu just got fucked out of opportunities that were givrn to bama and bama was gifted others

2011 should have been oklahoma state
2012 should have been osu but ncaa gifted bama
2015 osu would have been if not for divisions 2 fluke playe put bama in ole miss vs ark and mich vs msu
2017 osu should have been in this year is proof thry changed how they handle cc games this year cause bama wasnt involved and had 3 losses. Why did bama jump wisconsin and auburn in 2017 but osu didn't jump psu this year?

Theres more like 2018 a 2 loss georgia ranked over 1 loss cc ohio state that would never happen in the reverse. And how the fuck was fucking stanford in 2015 ranked over 1 loss defending nc osu?

Point is if 12 team playoff existed since 2000 osu would probably have more titles than bama cause they would have been in every playoff but maybe 3. The system and espn ncaa aided bama

Typing sucks on the phone on this site.

Hypothetical bama vs osu matchups if they played every year without espn/ncaa fucking osu and helping bama

2000-01 bama
2002 - 2007 osu wins all
2008 tossup
2009 bama
2010 osu
2011 bama wins big with sanctions osu wins without sanctions (they would have been preseason #1 that year lost their 5 best players and coach for the season including Pryor who would have likely would have won the Heisman, pretty much the 2010 team with more experience)
2012 toss up probably bama
2013 toss up
2014 osu won
2015 toss up i like osu to win but most would say bama
2016 probably osu
2017 toss up could go either way
2018 toss up probably bama
2019 toss up probably osu
2020 bama won
2021 toss up probably bama
2022 toss up probably osu
2023 toss up could go either way
2024 osu blows them away
