  1. 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.
  2. ha. totally forgot when Duke took down ND at home...
  3. This would be awesome if all P4's stopped playing them and they fall into University of Chicago status in 10 years.
  4. I know you aren't saying this is good or correct, but what you describe it as sounds like complete bullshit to me. So the committee makes up this new thing called "SOR" and it lines up almost perfectly 1-12 with the teams in the top 12 to 13 in the playoff that are ranked by number of losses. there isn't one outlier other than possibly BYU. Personally, I think this is just a bullshit metric made up by the morons at ESPN and the "committee" to validate their reliance on the loss column and top 12.
  5. how is SOR calculated?
  6. Miami couldn't even make the champ game of its own shitty conf, much less win it. aggy will beat them, unfortunately.
  7. hmmm..who is missing from that chart? and Ole Miss in the 40's proves every point.
  8. good. it is funny that anyone would believe otherwise after decades of evidence. I said that I'd believe it when I see it when a committee moves down a team with 1 loss with a SOS in the 40's or 50's, even with a team that has 3 losses and a top 10 SOS. They can't even do that for a 1 loss difference much less 2. they also don't care about quality wins. The other thing I hope he learned is that there are no bonus points for taking your foot off the gas. if you want to play backups keep throwing, keep blitzing, run up the score when you can. I realize we couldn't do that much this year but there will come a time. the good kids who graduate is over, not embarrassing your coaching counterpart is over, get with the program or get gone.
  9. The coaches probably a) want to work the portal and b) prevent guys they want to keep going to the portal. also, if you are 5-7 do you want to take a chance on losing to Georgia Southern because your best players portal or opt out?
  10. I will say the BCS is better because you have a lot of people on the human side of the equation to minimize one persons bias(Bohls) v 13 people that have ridiculous bias. It is better for breaking ties at the least. what I would do is weight the computers 60% and the humans 40%. I think it was 33/33/33 computers/AP/Coaches.
  11. wait..."Holiday/Alamo Bowl Champions!" doesn't mean anything to you? I remember when half the bowl teams(RC Slocum) could count themselves Champions at the end of the year. It was awesome.
  12. yes, the BCS heavily weighted the loss column as well due to pollsters/humans overweighting the loss column dramatically. it was flawed also. you can look at historical BCS outcomes and it is 95% by loss column especially for P5. humans don't take SOS into account very much at all. in the BCS era the P5 conferences were basically looked at as equal with the SEC getting a boost. G5 was had to be undefeated to even be considered most of the time. the key is to minimize losses however you can as there is no real desire by humans to look at details beyond that.
  13. If I am doing this right, the response is "don't lose to fucking Miami and Carson Beck"
  14. I know plenty about the history of college football. quit posting stupid shit. JESUS. ND can join a conf and schedule Navy every year for one of their 3 OOC if they want. No one cares if they play Navy or not.
  15. holy shit, LOL.
