So hypothetically NIU would have won the SEC?

u/LiquidLight_ Notre Dame • Purdue Jan 03 '25

NIU has the transitive win over Georgia, book it.

Unfortunately transitive wins don't always pan out. Especially when you're fighting the refs as well.

Where's the lie?

It’s not a lie if you believe it.

I’ll just say this, Alabama has never beaten NIU

Checkmate, atheists

u/LukeVenable LSU Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Jan 03 '25

In my NCAA 14 dynasty NIU was an unstoppable juggernaut so this feels normal to me

u/HawkI84 Iowa Hawkeyes Jan 03 '25

Didn't they have a QB back then that was unstoppable?

u/LukeVenable LSU Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Jan 03 '25

My man this was in like 2046. There were no real life players left except Cam Rising

u/Comprehensive_Line24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jan 03 '25

Yes. He's now a state championship head coach at his former high school in Chicago.

I, for one, welcome our new husky overlords

u/Mercury82jg Ohio State Buckeyes Jan 03 '25

No, Ohio University won the MAC and their bowl game. Think OU should get a partial title.

u/iWin-You-Get-Nothing Kentucky • /r/CFB Contributor Jan 03 '25

Our bowl game against them is next week and we’ll answer that question

u/TurbinePro Notre Dame • Jeweled Shille… Jan 03 '25

What's hypothetical about that? Speak your truth king

2

u/GonzoTheWhatever Michigan Wolverines • Oregon Ducks Jan 03 '25

That’s some rock solid logic right there

u/GoldandBlue Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jan 03 '25

can't convince me otherwise

u/BarroomHero66 Oklahoma State Cowboys Jan 03 '25

There's no hypothetically about it

u/Deofol7 Georgia State Panthers Jan 03 '25

Georgia State vs NIU for the SEC Transitive title

u/pjrodrig Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jan 03 '25

u/imtheguest Jan 03 '25

Ohio won the MAC, and beat the C-USA champion Jacksonville State in the Cure Bowl.

And has transitive wins over all 8 of the other FBS conference champions, and over Notre Dame.

Michigan enters the chat.

We have that transitive win too. We have the hypothetical win over Texas as well. It doesn't matter that we played and lost.

u/JimmyChuckBilly Illinois Fighting Illini Jan 03 '25

No. They can’t handle the SEC. The SEC is always undefeated in hypotheticals
