  1. losing that cardinals game at home was ridiculous. they fucking suck.
  2. ha ha.
  3. ah, the loss column barrier is so sweet....
  4. how do you miss that call..it's right in the hole.
  5. Also a 6th SEC team(taking 5 of the 7 at large spots) with no ACC would have been "FSU lawsuit!" territory....our resume is obviously better than Miami's but whatever...
  6. unless you beat a "better than advertised" fantastic 5-6 Auburn team in a classic down to wire the iron bowl rivalry game by the grace of some SEC ref fuckery. then you get full credit!
  7. I think it will happen at some point(regular season) for one of the at large bids and it will likely be an SEC team or ND. (4) 7-1 in conference teams from the SEC drug the floor up a bit, IMO.
  8. ha. App State got the "oh you are not sure about accepting our offer, well I've got Temple on the other line right now, you sure?"
  9. this. Im not sure how it is a Cash Bonanza!tm Can it make the overall SEC TV package be worth more? Sure, but I think it is on the margins. The actual game revenue to Texas is minimal. Dodds used to say that the 2 teams we want relationships with are ND and OU. That time is gone. The time is now to force ND to a conference.
  10. sir, I must protest, we/Texas have an alternate goal - To make out schedule be "good for college football!"
  11. No one wants it ignored entirely. it was on the road to what was eventually the #2 in the country. the Georgia away loss, given their SOS, would probably be lower. the final SOS, their final FPI, and location of the team you lose to should matter. Let's take Miami, they lost to UL at home and SMU on the road. Texas had 3 losses, all on the road to SOS/FPI - (28/2), (18/6), (2/36) UL - (53/29) home SMU - (66/24) away Miami had one top 10 win, ND at home Texas had 2 top 10, one neutral and one home to 2 teams that were better than ND(based on final ranking). that said Miami's FPI is 7, Texas is 13. Miami's SOS is 45 and Texas is 7. If computers rank Miami over Texas then the only thing I can gather is that the number in the loss column is weighted very very heavily and there is little weight to wins, and more importantly very good wins. The computers aren't the full answer but the committee actively ignores them pretty much across the board for eye test/loss column and that is how you get stupid explanations about how Bama's escape at 5-6 Auburn was so gosh darn awesome.
  12. sure, those guys don't want to lose their vote for 10 years. either way, 100 humans is better than 13 that REALLY have a vested interest on who makes it.
  13. I would rather have 100 humans polling and computers decide who is number 12 or 16 than the AD's for Nebraska and Arkansas and 11 other idiots like Ivan Maisel. At least idiots like Maisel can be buffered against with 99 other people.
  14. BCS is OK. but I would say computers more weighted 60% than pollsters 40% and you kick out pollsters when their deviation from norm shows bias. This wouldn't be hard. having 50 sports writers and 40 coaches at least limits the damage one moron can do. 13 people deciding on 7 teams is stupid.
  15. ha. totally forgot when Duke took down ND at home...
