Is the SEC blocking OOC games now?

Sounds like Baylor and Tennessee had a deal and the SEC blocked it. Pretty pathetic if it's true.

SMH....

If this is true, then Briles needs to do some barking like Stoops has done to expose the $EC. Thats the problem with teams like Baylor. The ESPN and media folks want to point at weak OOC schedule, but then brand teams won't play them due to fear of losing to them.

Gotta have SEC dominance, even if it's a fraud. SEC gaming the system.

 

[ScoBro1]

Pathetic. Baylor's PR firm needs to be all over this.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Baylor is jumping at the bit to schedule higher quality opponents after what happened in the final CFB Playoff poll a few weeks back.  I can't blame them.

 

[HornNdriftwood]

Maybe Ken Starr should threaten to sue the SEC.

Oh wait, nevermind.

 

[dillohorn]

I can't stand Baylor or Briles. Nothing bad enough can happen to them. Screw em.

 

[MikeV73]

Just more room to schedule Mary Hardin Baylor or St Edwards for that season.

That PR firm paid serious dividends recently. Suck it Briles.

the sec is playing with the lead right now. until the script gets flipped and they're no longer considered the best conference by acclamation, the don't need to take any unnecessary chances. bama losing in the first round, texas beating arky, wva beating aggy, tcu beating ole miss...all of that would help.



but if bama wins it all and ole miss beats the Big 12 team many people thought should have been in the playoff, you better get used to more of the same.

WVa chances have taken a big hit now that their starting QB is not going to play. Aggy getting a break.

stp,

I am convinced that Bama losing in the 1st round was the major reason that TCU/Baylor were snubbed.  Add to that the desire of Alvarez wanting a Big 10 rep, and it was a done deal.  

Screw Alvarez and screw the SEC!

Howard is better than Trickett. Trickett was likely going to be benched after his performances against TCU, Texas and K-State. Howard came in and almost brought WV back against K-State and he looked very good against Iowa State. I've been saying for weeks Howard is the better option because of his legs. A&M has no clue how to stop mobile QBs. Trickett is a turnover machine and doesn't have the ability to scramble, WV should have gone to Howard a lot sooner. Even most WV fans have wanted Howard to be the starter for awhile now (even when Trickett was healthy).

That's good to hear, utis...I was getting worried that it was going to be really bad with the loss of Trickett.

Think about what you just said. . .

I'm laughing at both.  .SEC for being chickenshits and Baylor for reaping what they sowed. . .

No one forced them to play crap teams. . . .

why would the 12 people on that panel care about bama in the first round? Sorry... I don't do conspiracy.
