What's the chance, during SEC media days next week, we get a strong narrative from ESPN about how the SEC should definitely get two teams into the playoff this year.

If the SEC has any teams in the playoffs it won't be due to media day, it will be based on some sort of conference championship game

This is assuming that Alabama will automatically get a spot

WE ARE SMART
I dunno, I think the narrative about conference representation in the playoffs this year is going to be more about which one deserves to be left out. Every week, whatever conference has the most embarrassing non-con losses and/or huge in-conference upsets is going to be definitively ruled out of playoff contention by ESPN sports writers. It's going to be like that week where Michigan State lost to Oregon and Ohio State lost to VT and all the commentators were all saying the Big 10 could never make the playoffs, except it'll last the entire season, totally ignoring the fact that a single upset in a conference championship game would totally change the playoff landscape.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I can't decide if my 2nd favorite part of last season was people being pissed over OSU getting the nod for the playoffs and looking dumbfounded when OSU won it all or the Big 12 looking cosmically stupid with 2 really good teams being left out.

8 team playoff with conference champs would fix the getting left out part. Not even for a if you can't win your conference argument, but if we look at last year, Bama was SEC champ, Oregon was Pac12, FSU won the ACC, and OSU won the Big Ten. So you already had 4 out of the P5 represented. Tossing in the Big 12 and a few G5 schools isn't going to cheapen anything. I don't think that something like Bama/LSU is going to happen again where a team that got beat out is going to jump another team that won a conference championship, we have hopefully learned that lesson.

Is there something in DBZ where even if you get all the dragon balls and make a wish it won't come true because that's VT and the national title.

It's going to be amazing when the SEC missing the playoffs ends up being the spark that gets the playoffs expanded to 6 or 8 teams with a "All P5 conference champs get a spot" clause.

What's even going on in that FSU QB video? Like the beginning of the altercation is just her specifically and purposely blocking him from getting to the bar? And then turning around and yelling at him and pushing him and him doing the same to her? Like I don't get what's happening. Did they know each other prior and this is just a continuation of an argument?

He punched her in the face. That's what happened.

oh ok thanks. I was just asking why she was intentionally moving into his way to block the bar and the altercation had to take place in the first place and if they knew each other beforehand. This isn't some victim blaming thing and I realize that by even questioning her actions at all that's what it seems ( obviously he was in the wrong in the end) but it's still a weird thing how she was going out of her way to do that.

I think the prevailing theory is she was going to order drinks and thought he pushed in front of her. Or the other way around and she got pissed at him when he complained and then she threw the ineffective punch.

From the video, there really isn't much you can tell, other than he punched her in the face. Also, unless she pulls out a knife or something, any words written or spoken before "and then he punched her in the face" cease to be relevant.

Ohio State winning didn't change that TCU should have been selected for that spot. There's nothing to be dumbfounded about.

Except there's nothing that says they should have definitively gotten in over Ohio State except for your opinion. Even the old BCS formula had it the same way.
