  1. I mean they’ve been melting down for years now and directing their ire at people, at least the computer is what it is and can’t be accused of its own bias (programming maybe but everyone would have agreed to the programming). One solution is for programs who get left out to stop overreacting like little bitches every year. Sitting out a bowl game is as bad as it’s been, fuck ND and their pansy ass admins. Even FSU put out a team a few years ago after being decimated by the portal and opt outs.
  2. Let me introduce you to OKST 2018. Beat No. 17 Boise State, No. 5 Texas, No. 7 WVU, and lost to No. 6 OU by one point in Norman 47-48. Lost to everyone else in the bottom half of the conference standings (Baylor, TCU, KSU, Tech). All with a former walkon at QB. Beat No. 24 Mizzou in the Liberty Bowl.
  3. Wasn’t the ACC 2nd place tiebreaker the same as what the SEC used in its first place tiebreaker? Conference opponent sos? Considering conference rankings should be based on conference activity it makes as much sense as possible in the new ridiculous world of mega conferences and unequal conference scheduling. Miami lost to now unranked SMU and Louisville. Fuck them, one good noncon win doesn’t undo those losses. Not to mention using CFP rankings to break ties is just giving the committee that everyone is hating on so much today more power and influence.
  4. It would seem that with ai and other advances a BCS type formula could be far improved than the prior iteration. The big question is how to agree on how to program it and how to weigh certain things like noncon games or conference games with unequal scheduling. UT’s beef is the tOSU loss. Should the computers disregard it entirely or give it a weight? Should the weight be on a sliding scale? A noncon loss to the No. 2 team should be less detrimental than to the No. 10 team, or No. 20, or No. 25, etc., but it likely cannot be ignored entirely. Would admins and conferences agree to the computer weighing wins over FCS very lightly or possibly ignoring them altogether? How about computer rankings set the bracket and a committee is formed with the sole job of determining if other factors require an adjustment and the vote must be unanimous to alter the computer ranking and explained on paper in a professional manner like a legal brief or arbitrators decision instead of putting some jagoff on camera to yammer away like a dolt.
  5. The ACC damages itself by having a 5 loss champion. That alone should have excluded Miami. I don’t care if ND, Texas, BYU, or Vandy got the spot, they all deserved it over any ACC team.
  6. I imagine most 5 win teams shut things down last week.
  7. Why are KSU and ISU bailing? Other schools with coaching changes are playing.
  8. Haha I’ve avoided the Notre Dame hate train and they go and pull a bitch ass move like sitting out a bowl game. Grow up you fucking babies.
  9. JMU or Tulane are gonna win just to fuck with peoples’ outrage lol.
  10. I say expand to 18 and have a first four with the two highest ranked G5 champs playing the two lowest ranked at large for the 15 and 16 seed.
  11. Good lord do you literally not read anything? This is so false. Only the Big 10 wanted auto bids. The Big XII was with the SEC wanting 5+11. The ACC is a fucking disaster and just proved that 2 auto bids would be ridiculous. If you want to exclude G5 altogether make that argument but I doubt it flies. Tell the ACC to stop sucking maybe?
  12. Two G5s. What a world. ACC sucks.
  13. Gonna be a lot of sad soaking tonight.
  14. Maybe it’s confirmation bias but I feel like in games I’ve watched this year trick plays fail way more than they work.
  15. I don’t actually, I couldn’t care less about a halftime show from tv.
  16. Judging conferences by halftime show. Shark officially jumped.
  17. I honestly can’t tell whose bribing who here.
  18. I’m not. Tulanes defense looked pretty good and it was closer than the score because of the the calls. Mestemaker also has three years left, he’ll get better, after the adjustment to P4. And upside is Morris should be full time in Stillwater now.
  19. I like Tulanes stadium. Looks to be built to a proper scale for G5.
  20. Yes. That’s how the boundary works. I’m good with it.
  21. NFL’s PI rule is way too punitive too.
  22. Tulane defense is legitimately a lot better so they would likely win anyway but man the big blown calls are ridiculous.
  23. That’ll do it, good season mean green.
  24. Mestemakers body was fully in the green when he knocked it out, that’s such a bad call. Inexcusable.
