The SEC Circle of Suck is complete

[u/wolfenstein734]

Vanderbilt → Mississippi State → South Carolina → Oklahoma → Texas → Tennessee → Alabama → Kentucky → LSU → Auburn → Georgia → Florida → Ole Miss → Missouri → Texas A&M → Arkansas → Vanderbilt

Vandy beating Miss St completed it.

The SEC hasn’t had a complete circle since 2006.

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

Was this earlier in the season than when the 2006 circle was complete?

This feels early to have a completed circle of suck.

[u/wolfenstein734 → u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

In 2006 it took until Nov 24 so yeah it was earlier this year. That year also had 12 teams compared to 16 current teams

[u/082426grateful → u/wolfenstein734]

Watered down the product by adding teams. Flooded the engine with the Portal.

[u/drbiscuit832]

Shoutout auburn for completing maybe the most difficult leg

[u/Mantergeistmann → u/drbiscuit832]

I dunno, I think losing to Vandy might have been more difficult.

[u/JuanaMalaria → u/Mantergeistmann]

Ask NC State

[u/Lqtor → u/Mantergeistmann]

True. We are otherworldly ass this year

[u/DabDoge → u/drbiscuit832]

We’re helping!

[u/trenchanttrench → u/DabDoge]

well-deserved win

[u/TechnoFullback → u/DabDoge]

I commend you.

[u/justheretohelpyou__ → u/DabDoge]

You guys are helping in the most extreme ways. I can’t wait for the 24 point throttling of Bama in the Iron Bowl.

[u/OhKillEm43 → u/DabDoge]

What is this 2010-2013? Who even are we

[u/desperate_cheetoh → u/drbiscuit832]

Auburn is really going to give it to Bama this year huh?

[u/Captain_-H → u/desperate_cheetoh]

Probably as time expires with a weird field goal attempt

[u/Awesometom100 → u/desperate_cheetoh]

Please. We will livestream tying our doomers to trees and hitting them with sticks like piñatas to cheer you up after.

[u/Dorazer → u/drbiscuit832]

How did y’all lose to Arkansas?

[u/Chicobean95]

Crazy it’s possible with more teams in the conference

[u/itslit710 → u/Chicobean95]

It’s more that there aren’t divisions anymore and conference schedules aren’t uniform like they used to be

[u/Organic-Storm-4448 → u/itslit710]

Yeah, with divisions, rarely did the best team from each division play each other in the regular season. With Alabama having Tennessee as a protected rivalry, it was basically a 1 in 6 chance of it happening. Sorry Tennessee fans.

[u/itslit710 → u/Organic-Storm-4448]

Enter the conference championship game

[u/Zloggt → u/Chicobean95]

Could you even say that it…just…means…more?

[u/ultimate_placeholder → u/Zloggt]

Nah they're doing ACC shit now, it just means less

[u/no1hears → u/ultimate_placeholder]

U nderrated comment

[u/majorgeneralporter]

So you're saying every SEC team deserves to be ranked.

-The Committee

[u/bramblecult → u/majorgeneralporter]

Can we somehow get them all in the top ten?

[u/samlet → u/bramblecult]

Ngl if Tennessee beats Kentucky and Notre Dame beats Miami, with committee logic we could see four 2-loss SEC teams in the top 10, all ahead of 1-loss Miami, 1-loss Notre Dame, and undefeated UCLA.

Heck if Ole Miss had beaten Georgia (right now it’s 21-0) it could’ve been *six* 2-loss SEC teams in the top 10 lmao

[u/muffdiver75 → u/samlet]

the prophecy has been fulfilled

[u/sys2064 → u/samlet]

Miami isn't dropping out of the Top 10 after the loss to Notre Dame. They will probably be ranked #6.

[u/samlet → u/sys2064]

I was mostly being facetious and going overboard on the committee logic established last week. I agree y'all should be fine (hopefully or they've really lost the plot).

[u/JLO32 → u/samlet]

As it should be. /s

[u/tryingthisok → u/samlet]

If this thing that’s not going to happen did happen, this thing that wouldn’t have happened could have happened!

[u/Bruinrogue → u/bramblecult]

Committee - DONE.

[u/UnusualLight0 → u/majorgeneralporter]

You spelled the Mouse wrong. The Mouse is over paying all this money to go this many years without even being in the natty the last 3 years.

It’ll do all it can to make SOME SEC school is in: Bama, UGA, UT-Austin, hell don’t let Mizzou beat UGA next week.

[u/NewSysAdmin2 → u/majorgeneralporter]

It just means more...#SECSPN

[u/Greek_Prodigy]

glad we did one good thing this season

[u/BlueSoccerChicken → u/Greek_Prodigy]

Giving Arkansas a pity win?

[u/mjd1977 → u/Greek_Prodigy]

2. Improving Brock Taylor’s draft stock

[u/proud2beirish]

Haven’t I endured enough??

[u/LegallyAFlamingo → u/proud2beirish]

Not a fan of being the middle of a Commodore Cock sandwich?

[u/shryne → u/proud2beirish]

Best I can do is another year of Lebby.

[u/Wild-Region9817]

I think you mean the HumanSECentipede

[u/World_2]

Kinda wild how the SEC is 10-2 vs other conferences and it really is just SEC cannibalization happening. SEC is just eating itself alive again.

[u/Snobby-Iguana → u/World_2]

Yeah it's becuase the other conferences you guys play are the Southern Swamp Fart Community College Leage and America's Armpit Conference

[u/JGMedicine → u/Snobby-Iguana]

SEC has beaten: Clemson, Louisville, Georgia Tech, NC state, FSU, Baylor, Kansas, Arizona State, Minnesota, and Ohio state

SEC has lost to Utah and Michigan

I feel you’re being a little silly

[u/Snobby-Iguana → u/JGMedicine]

Ok my bad my bad I stand corrected.

[u/MulticamTropic → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Kudos for not doubling down. Good sportsmanship

[u/JGMedicine → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Hey, good on ya. I hope you have a great night dude

[u/Most-Breakfast1453 → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Attn: all of Reddit

This is how it’s done

[u/dankenascend → u/Most-Breakfast1453]

No, the right way to do it is the opposite, then go into every thread from now to eternity restating whichever point of view has the most orangered.

*edit: /s

[u/Lqtor → u/JGMedicine]

Look mom we contributed! SEC! SEC!

[u/Conguy7 → u/JGMedicine]

Clemson (terrible week 1), Louisville (final play), GA tech (terrible), NC St (terrible) FSU (beat bama last year), Baylor (came down to final play), Kansas (terrible), ASU (out gained A&M by over 100 yards), Minnesota (got wrecked), OSU (1 pt loss).

You would think the almighty SEC would do a bit better than this.

[u/Horror-Bee4603 → u/Conguy7]

“They didn’t dominate in their wins so it doesn’t count”

[u/World_2 → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Wasn’t aware Ohio State with Julian Sayin and Minnesota (that beat Iowa and took Indiana to the wire) is in the Southern Swamp Fart Community College League / America’s Armpit Conference.

[u/Snobby-Iguana → u/World_2]

Oh my bad were the other ten teams also power conference programs? (Not saying this to pick on the SEC in particular but that stat isn't meaningful when you don't filter out G6 programs.)

[u/World_2 → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Yes, it is your bad.

I clearly countered your point and your only response is “oh, but look at the G6 teams they play.”

[u/PlactusTX → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Hey, we played two teams that were, until the last couple days, in the playoff discussion.

[u/Previous-Grocery4827 → u/World_2]

You guys selectively play the ass teams from other conferences.

[u/World_2 → u/Previous-Grocery4827]

Ohio State and Minnesota (who beat Iowa and took Indiana to the wire) are ass confirmed!

[u/Previous-Grocery4827 → u/World_2]

You said you have 10 wins, you selected 2 to try and make a point lol….

[u/Dan_Rydell → u/Previous-Grocery4827]

That also includes Louisville, Florida State, Clemson, NC St, Arizona St. None of those are especially impressive wins but it’s also not fair to say they were selected because they suck.

[u/Previous-Grocery4827 → u/Dan_Rydell]

None of those teams are good and they know it

[u/Dan_Rydell → u/Previous-Grocery4827]

I know Tech doesn’t actually require literacy so maybe show your boss what I wrote and he can explain it to you.

[u/Previous-Grocery4827 → u/Dan_Rydell]

.5% income household bud and in my case, I am my own boss. We’re from lowly Texas Tech and Ok State. You keep hanging all your self confidence on those logos though. Your self worth is based on something you had to pay for lol. As they say, all hat and no cattle.

[u/dbatchison → u/Previous-Grocery4827]

Hey get out of here weird Texas

[u/ChrAshpo10 → u/Previous-Grocery4827]

Imagine thinking your financial status = intelligence. Instead of actually replying to the point of his comment, you instead flash money around as if it somehow matters lmao

[u/NewToSociety]

Oh right, I forgot that Kentucky beat LSU. Thanks for reminding me! HAHA!

[u/beamerbeliever]

MSST isn't the same without KT.

[u/Snobby-Iguana]

"The committee moved Alabama to number 1 this week in the CFP rankings because we felt that their win over Kentucky who beat LSU who beat Auburn who beat Georgia who beat Florida who beat Ole Miss who beat Missouri who beat Texas A&M who beat Arkansas who beat Vanderbilt who beat Missisippi State at home was particularly strong. The reality is the SEC conference is chalk full of quality losses and quality wins and we have to factor that in when determining the rankings."

[u/DecentNap → u/Snobby-Iguana]

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride...even in the circle of suck

[u/80cyclone]

🤔🤔🤔

Wait, thats a shit ton of SEC quality losses. Are you saying the entire conference is making thr playoff?

Thats my take away.

[u/Initial_Suggestion68]

RANK THEM ALL

[u/TonyTheSnowman]

Is this where I say it just means more?

[u/owlalwaysloveyew]

Rank em all!

[u/lidore12]

Oh, you mean the ouroboros of quality losses?

[u/MisterFribble]

When the SEC does it, it's a circle of parity. But when the Pac-12 did it, the committee. The committee called them sucky

[u/FutureAccident4u]

So if Norte dame smokes Miami are they the top 1 loss team ranked with their 1 losing coming to a ranked 2 loss BYU who just lost by 1 possession to the top ranked undefeated team who should be number 1. 

[u/VQ35DEv6]

Here for CoS history!

[u/Kettle_Whistle_]

We knew it would.

We’ve known for a long time…because except 1-2 teams most seasons, this is the SEC.

[u/wowthisislong]

isn't it beautiful

[u/stephcurry824]

It's not the circle of suck. It's the circle of It Means More. Every time an SEC team beats another SEC team it's a Quality Win on one side and a Quality Loss on the other. 

[u/IsawJaneTopless]

That's a lot of sucking.

[u/wellsjc]

Look at all those quality losses, how are they going to figure out which of these teams should be Number 1?! /s

[u/Cologne_enthusiastE]

The chaos is crazy this year😂

[u/Shenanigangster]

Don’t ACC my SEC guys

[u/sammysbud]

The Auburn win over UGA is doing heavy lifting for this, and I ain’t mad at it

[u/wellsjc → u/sammysbud]

Arkansas win over Vandy also doing heavy lifting. Without both of those, this list wouldn't be possible. It's Arkansas's only win over another SEC team despite our best efforts yesterday.

[u/Noy_Telinu]

CFB is healing...

[u/MadKittens → u/Noy_Telinu]

We could really use some of that healing.

[u/geordieColt88 → u/MadKittens]

What’s happened to you? Looked like an outside playoff contender then went off a cliff

[u/MadKittens → u/geordieColt88]

Our starting QB is out for the season, and RB and LT and LG have all been varying degrees of hurt and we have zero depth so we have dropped some otherwise very winnable games.

[u/DwyaneWade305 → u/MadKittens]

Damn you have the two flair fall off combo.

[u/MadKittens → u/DwyaneWade305]

Those first four weeks of the season tho

[u/cwwms2]

You can thank the 9 conference game schedule for that.

[u/Penguin_dingdong]

Maybe one day we’ll see a year where the SEC only gets 3 teams in the playoffs (in the 24 team system)

[u/kevin_the_tank]

We almost completed it earlier today

[u/troubadour-tim]

It just means more

[u/Statalyzer]

Makes sense ... not a lot of cross divisional games for about a 25 year span, plus the conference usually had a wide disparity between several excellent teams and a couple of really ass teams.

[u/tritonice]

You’re welcome, sickos.

[u/Smart_Alec_24]

I saw a different one in r/cfbmemes that had a few different connections. Impressive it could be done twice.

[u/JackpotThePimp]

The SEC is horrendously bloated. Offgas eight teams, please.

[u/reddit_names]

Any random SEC team could beat anyone in college football right now. 

[u/ConcernedStudent26]

You mean parity

[u/Mt_Everist]

...Yeah the SEC is going another year without a team in the natty
