SMU over Alabama and Miami? YES! SMU over South Carolina? NO!

[@richh650]

Very good take, Skip. Very level minded and accurate. No one would wish to play South Carolina if they were in the playoffs.

[@scootd1]

As a South Carolina native, lifetime fan and long time season ticket holder I just want to say thank you for the kind words and recognition that you have shown this team in your video! They had an outstanding season and deserved a chance to finish the job. We are like you and feel they should have been in but the committee apparently didn't agree. Maybe they didn't want us to stink up the show!! I truly believe that they would have and they were not prepared for it. Thanks again and I appreciate the video. It will be shared!

Thank you sir. I'm an old Gamecock fan and have had my heart broken and paid my dues, as has a large majority of our fan base. We LOVE our team & finally have the right coach in Columbia! This Gamecock squad is special! Our QB is the best player in college football, and he's a freshman!!! We didn't get the opportunity to prove it this year, we won't give them any choice next year! 🐓 Go Gamecocks!!!!!!

[@user-jv9xu9uy1s]

Replace Georgia or Ohio State into this scenario - say they did what the Gamecocks did this year, they would be in the playoffs. The committee is biased. Completely agree with you Skip - my Gamecocks were robbed; not only by the committee, though, but also by the refs in the LSU game!

[@vagabond197979]

Lots of good cases can be made for lots of teams. The problem is that we have no idea how SOS measures up against wins against losses against you name it criteria. How Clemson winning the ACC didn't help South Carolina's chances is beyond me.

[@jessesewell7922]

The sad part is it’s not just about the late season surge. SC has one loss that you might consider a bad loss, but is it really a bad loss? It was to #5 Ole Miss. Is that a bad loss? No. Texas was not eliminated from anything after it lost at home to GA. The other losses SC has are at Tuscaloosa y 2 points and at home by 3 points to LSU. In the LSU game everyone who watched it knows SC got screwed by some very bad officiating. Bad calls wiped 14 points off the board for SC and gave the ball back to LSU in scoring position with a fresh set of downs. To say SC got screwed is a massive understatement. SC kicked LSUs ass, period. SC’s resume in terms of its SOS is unmatched. No team has played and beaten more ranked opponents than SC.

One of the hottest teams in the country and hottest player in Sellers is not welcome to the party of 12. Make sense. Whom ever wins it this year will have an * beside their win because they never got a chance to prove they were better than the Gamecocks. :)

@@ReadR00ster1 Lol yep. It's worse than them hating South Carolina though. They don't even see South Carolina! If South Carolina picks up where they leave off this year playing good ball next season, I just want the SEC to let them play ball. Don't steal a game and don't gift one either. LSU didn't want a gift. They wanted to go down fighting, win or lose, and that's why they were in position. No hard feeling towards LSU but the SEC and officials are crooked.

[@dougsholly9323]

It doesn't matter if smu is better than any team. They were ranked ahead of everyone last week making it impossible for any of them to jump them this week. Last week was the week to complain about the rankings. And the notion that usc would not only jump smu, but Bama and Ole Miss is just ludicrous.

[@Lippeyman23]

SMU is not better than Alabama or South Carolina and we all know it. SMU is the worst team in the playoffs. 0 ranked wins all season and couldnt even beat clemson!

[@ballinforlife9]

Clemson isn’t some random FBS team. They have one of the most talented rosters in the country and an elite head coach. Alabama got blown out by a garbage Oklahoma team, lost to Vanderbilt, and didn’t win the SEC so they didn’t deserve to be in. This isn’t Nick Sabans Alabama

[@zachellenburg5738]

I honestly would bet money on SMU to beat bama if they played. SMU is super underrated. If they play like they did in the 2nd half of the ACC championship it’s hard to stop them.

SMU barely lost to Clemson, who barely lost to South Carolina. Who barely lost to bama. It is not as obvious to just pick the sec teams as unequivocally better
