  1. Correct, this is what it comes down to. A lot of people misunderstand what "not punishing a loss to a good non-conference opponent" means. If you're trying to figure out who should be #8-11 (assuming #12 is a G5 champion) in a 12-team playoff, what does a one score loss on the road at the undefeated #1 team in the nation really mean? It means jack shit, a #8-11 team should lose to the #1 team on the road, and if it's a one score game then that means they played like you'd expect a top 10 team to play. I mean I'll believe it when I see it but the loss column, which has always been the only thing that mattered in polls, shouldn't be the only thing that matters. If we finish 3-2 in top ten games and have only one subpar loss that is absolutely a top 11 résumé.
  2. No worries, only concerned that we must maintain our thread title accuracy in order to justifiably complain about our QB's accuracy.
  3. Week 10 just finished.
  4. In addition to what you'll read in the rest of the thread, I failed to emphasize in that post that they currently have 2 million subscribers, not 50. That was a hyperbolic best case scenario. They would of course get a lot more subscribers if nobody carried them anymore but probably not 50M. Even growing by 400% to 10M subscribers means adding current cost to lost revenue offset would require your ESPN app bill to be $110/month almost immediately after they become their own sole source.
  5. Right, and that's only replacing lost revenue. Once they have a captive market then the price hikes to satisfy shareholders really start. Current price plus the above is $55 per month for only ESPN. I don't see any way that if their plan works that they're not at least $100/month within 5 years of being app only. $200/month sounds insane but thinking it stays at 30 is even crazier.
  6. Right now ESPN gets about $10B per year from carriers. If they are no longer carried anywhere but their app and there are 50 million subscribers, take a wild guess at how much per year that would mean every subscriber has to pay.
  7. Right now Disney gets a shit ton of money from broadcast carriers based on their subscriber base. Once they effectively price out those carriers (which is their stated goal) so that the viewers have to use their app to see their content, where do you think that shit ton of money is going to come from in the future?
  8. Yes, you're right. Once the large corporation sole sources their content they will definitely always keep those prices where they are right now. We can explain it to you but we can't understand it for you.
  9. On the list of worst calls in college football history, this is the one I have the least issue with for some reason.
  10. Lower-tier P4 teams have to be thinking they'll take a retread if they're jumping in this year. I don't see any other logic. And there will be plenty available.
  11. Jon Wilner - OU #9, Vanderbilt #14, Texas #22 https://collegepolltracker.com/football/pollster/jon-wilner/2025/week-11
  12. That may be why he's unemployed because it's wrong. Any decent analytics team now reports on each decision based on net points EV, win probability, or some other end game result for the decision.
  13. Waiting to see who the last coach to bet his career on Jackson Arnold will be.
  14. Right before that picture the DB had a handful of jersey with each hand before he lost his grip with his left hand.
  15. Both Louisville and South Carolina are on the road. They are going to have to pull an upset to make a bowl game.
  16. Some of the worst tackling in the history of football by Cincinnati. In the days of the BCS that result would be one for us to pay attention to. Glad that's over.
  17. This is the correct way to approach OU games. You root for them to lose. If those shitheads win and it helps Texas somehow then we console ourselves with that. But we would still prefer if they had lost.
  18. A 9-3 team has never made the playoffs in the 1 year history of the 12 team playoff? Interesting.
  19. So if he gets another concussion we wait until that heals then bop him again?
  20. Wow didn't get his head around in time
  21. In the human polls we will be around 15 I think. In the CFP it will be funny when the nation is furious that we're #12.
  22. lol Mateer is so bad
  23. I think everyone already knows that he will "have to step away due to medical issues" and everyone also already knows it's 100% bullshit and ESPN already knows they will pretend it's not bullshit.
  24. I'm just trying to figure out if those of us who said he is a mid coach getting too much attention just because of the flash with no substance and pointed out his history with things like Prime Prep were only saying it because we were jealous.
