  1. um, he's considering Texas at 9-2. We have already stipulated that the OSU game didn't happen and we played Minnesota and beat them 38-8. 9-2, Magic!
  2. this. it's like getting the 8AM game when you lose the first game of your kids double elimination 10U select baseball tournament.
  3. that Florida game was a combination of our coach not believing what he was seeing on film with the OL, trying to force a QB to do things he was not ready to do, what we now know is a deficiency in our defensive backfield, AND Florida being in "save the corch" mode at home after 3 straight losses and being spanked by Miami. They were absolutely the more motivated team that day and that is on our coach as well. Angry teams win football games.
  4. nice. appreciate the insight.
  5. yeah, I'll leave it to the soccer experts, but that NC in year 1 and then not following it up with an elite 8 or sweet 16 kind of makes you wonder but the year before(2021) the NC the previous head coach lost to UCI in round one. Maybe we needed UCI's Head Coach, jk. not really the amount of time as a HC that we usually see CDC go after but hopefully much better than kelly and the recruiting ties to Cali could be huge.
  6. 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).
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. well of course there is reality/data/logic as to the best path to make the playoff and then there is "PUSSY!"
  14. what is the "loss column"? Alex
  15. maybe, depends on if your coach wants to practice or not.
  16. 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.
  17. 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...
  18. I don't think anyone is saying it is a travesty if we don't get in. we have 3 losses.
  19. 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?
  20. all games count. I would vote for 10 conf games and 2 OOC.
  21. exactly. lets get rid of most of the beauty contest and just say 3 losses you are out. we will pick the best 8 from the rest, no auto bid and the champ game of your conference actually counts
  22. I was on board with the 8 team 25 years ago with the 12 team conferences. play 10 conf games and 2 OOC. the superconferences screwed this all up because you can game the system with the schedule(see aggy this year). 2027 and 2029 we have UGA, Bama, ND. sure we could win 3 of those but could lose all 3. meanwhile Tech with the 70th ranked schedule and loses to Arizona fucking State. is in. they didn't beat all the teams they should beat. Utah with the 50th ranked schedule and 2 losses is ahead of us. even aggy's schedule is 15 or something while playing the dregs of the SEC and ND. Ole Miss played no one OOC and almost lost at home to Wazzu, should have lost to LSU and possibly the same Ark team we drilled. they should just say the cut line is fewer than 3 losses and we'll pick the best 8 from there. then everyone knows the score. our SOS will always be good enough with a decent P4 and 2 others and there will always be arguments. we are out with 3 losses no matter what, as was Bama last year, due to the necessity for the committee to include other Big 12 and ACC teams and even a 2 loss ND(with a 27th SOS this year) in the mix. G5 just makes it worse. G5 can get fucked at this point, IMO. they can have their own 8 team playoff. maybe these last 2 years are outliers but I'll believe it when I see it that a 3 loss non conf champ makes the top 11 in the super conference era because they rank by number of losses. don't lose 3 games regardless of who they are to.
  23. then we should go to top 4 teams regardless of conference.
  24. our D is certainly not peaking. having smith out in the 1H isn't going to help.
