  1. the bottom of the big ten is really terrible.
  2. Ryan Day's wikipedia page:
  3. I don't think it's bias but rather how much they weigh strength of schedule (in this case). Clemson's out of conference SOS is significantly tougher than SMU's having played both Georgia and South Carolina. Clemson is getting a pretty big boost in their models due to those games IMHO.
  4. The problem with South Carolina is that they lost to both Bama and Ole Miss. The problem with both Bama and Ole Miss is each has a terrible loss (Bama to OU and Ole Miss to Kentucky). That's why Finebaum thinks all three get left out - there's no point in debating the three when there are other 2-loss teams available to consider.
  5. This - I don't believe the committee when they say they don't care about rematches. There's no way UGA and Texas are facing each other any earlier than the semis. They'll rank the teams accordingly to avoid that. Neither team has any really good wins other than SMU's win at Louisville (who beat Clemson). Both Sagarin and Massey have this game as a toss-up. I think that's due to Clemson's games against USCe and UGA (even though they were losses). A lot of the national coverage is assuming a Clemson win over SMU with SMU getting the last at large. Bama getting in is completely dependent on SMU winning and the committee ignoring the other 2 loss teams. The only 3 loss team that is getting in would be Georgia if they lose next week. Their schedule was brutal and have a boatload of quality wins. Georgia has been doing all of the heavy lifting for Bama and Ole Miss - largely due to their win in Austin. Something we need to consider is what happened last year - the #1 team losing its conference championship game changed things dramatically. Alabama beating Georgia knocked out TWO teams from the top four last year. Here were the week 13 rankings: 1. UGA 2. Michigan 3. Washington 4. FSU 5. Oregon 6. Ohio State 7. Texas 8. Alabama And then week 14 with Bama beating UGA: 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Alabama 5. FSU 6. UGA 7. Ohio State 8. Oregon Both Massey and Sagarin consider Oregon and Penn State a toss-up. What if PSU beats the Ducks?
  6. Bama’s loss to OU and Ole Miss’ loss to Kentucky (at home) are major problems even with scoreboard on USCe.
  7. For context - this was on Barrie’s show discussing the three current three-loss SEC teams (Bama, USCe, and Ole Miss.) All three have their warts, so Pawl thinks the committee just excludes all three just to avoid any debate should it come down to those and one other non-SEC team such as SMU (were they to lose to Clemson.)
  8. FWIW Finebaum thinks the SEC only gets 3 teams - Texas, UGA, and Tennessee.
  9. Iowa State has entered the chat: https://www.iastate.edu/admission-and-aid/admissions/first-year-students/national-scholars/first-year-scholarship-awards/tx

  12. These OT rules are so bad. We are all losers tonight for watching this.
  13. Just call it a draw.
  14. Daughter got into pig today. I've already said I am not wearing Arkansas shit or calling the hogs unless it's to slaughter! But she can go to school there.
  15. Nerds love Marcel Reed but still pick Texas in a close one.
