  1. auto bids are different. they also said if you make the conf champ game you very likely don't get punished. one of the reasons SMU made it over Bama last year plus "surprise" loss column SMU 2/bama 3. we are discussing number of losses before the CC games. they also can't really consider CC games much because "another surprise!"...Notre Dame doesn't have a 13th data point for you old schoolers(aka a CC).
  2. if those are our only losses we are in, if we play Wisconsin or Vriginia Tech, etc. we did beat the pants off of a playoff team as well.
  3. IMO, we'd be 8/9 with win against a decent P4 team but would still need to beat aggy and would then be guaranteed in.
  4. the bold is why they sprinkle in the 1 loss/2 loss non SEC/Big 12 to cover for the SOR. the group loss the SEC/Big Ten Tech at 5 should be a red flag but hidden by the fact that 1-4 are Big Ten/SEC. I would submit Indiana at 4 is a yellow flag given their SOS at 49 and OOC of ODU, Kennesaw, Indiana St, but tOSU's is 46
  5. Florida is not good and it was a bad loss but they also have the #1 SOS. hell they aimost beat and got fucked against Georgia AFTER their coach got fired. since we like to talk about bad wins like Kentucky and MSU. I do agree they totally gave up after the loss to UGA.
  6. it is about the number in the loss column. I bet if you take a neutral site Tech, BYU, Utah, Vandy, OU, Mich are not favored. Bama would be a slight favorite, IMO. not sure on that because it is a huge rivalry for them but we'd be favored, neutral site.
  7. I think they mainly changed conf champ get bye's to top 4 overall get bye's not because of what happened with us as the 5 but because AD's were saying what is the advantage to scheduling big time OOC game if I only get a bye by winning the conf. now there is a small chance winning a big time OOC game gets you a bye but if they just rank by loss column what is the point. Tech at 5 is a good indicator. they are #5 with one loss to #20 ASU. they played a 2-9 Pac 12 left behind Oregon State, have a SOS of 70, yet they are #5 because they only have a 1 in the loss column. I could make a case they should be just ahead of Bama or even behind Bama with the #6 SOS. it is about the loss column and it always will be.
  8. well of course there is reality/data/logic as to the best path to make the playoff and then there is "PUSSY!"
  9. what is the "loss column"? Alex
  10. maybe, depends on if your coach wants to practice or not.
  11. if you want the best chance to get into the tournament on average yes. I would submit that I'd like our coach/OC/QB whisperer to have an actual real OL coach and build a real OL and make sure our 3 year in the program 5 star QB is ready to go.
  12. H2H only matters if you have the same number of losses. it does matter a lot more than SOS when there is same number of losses. top 12 or top 25 wins matter very little. "deserves" got nothin to do with it...
  13. I don't think anyone is saying it is a travesty if we don't get in. we have 3 losses.
  14. they will never not rank by losses. they even fixed the Texas Michigan issue they had mistakenly set themselves up for because of it. anyway, we took the 3rd loss and so we are out. it is funny aggy bitched enough that they will not have Bama and UGA in the same season ever. always next year. wonder what happens if heisman finalist Mateer has a season ending injury?
