  1. they shouldn't have lost to a "much worse than Florida", Florida State...or I think that is how this discussion goes but I could be mis-remembering as a famous UT alum once said.
  2. this is not to you but I don't know why everyone is wrapped around the axle here... 3 losses is the issue. we are out no matter what with 3 losses the Florida game was the easiest of the 3 to win and we should not have lost that game
  3. it goes like this yeah, yeah you are good, you won a bunch of games...so how many losses do you have? well sir, all our losses were on the road, one was against the #1 team in the.... yeah fuck all that, just give me the number.
  4. Jimmy Sexton would absolutely love this to happen. It's like Christmas in December.
  5. I've been told that bad loss is most important metric this year....
  6. The only potential fall guy is Bama IMO since they would have 3 losses and the all important, new for this year! "bad loss". it would be fucking hilarious if it happened 2 years in a row to them, which is also why I don't see it happening. 1% chance Tech(with a loss to BYU), ND, OU could be a fall guy. problem is all of those are viewed as safely in due to their current ranking.
  7. oh sweet summer child have you opened a can....
  8. I'm sure we will keep those. It is the ND series that should be in question. we have ASU scheduled out a ways, probably portends the way CDC has been thinking.
  9. 23 we forced them to put us in beating Bama, 24 was no brainer, 25 easy peasy to leave us out, but we expose their bullshit.
  10. Monday hope after a big win over the weekend is always the best hope.
  11. be funny if it was OSU, Indiana, Tech and Georgia. SOS 37,56,69,18 if you go by Sagarin right now you get Notre Dame, OSU, Indiana, Oregon. no SEC or Big 12.
  12. I've been using Minnesota as an example. get those motherfuckers on the schedule ASAP!
  13. It is interesting that people thought this. after decades of seeing SOS's in the 30's to 40's be rewarded as long as you limited the loss column, watching SEC schedule D2 schools once a year, some even scheduling low/mid level G5 for the other 3 games, and still get rewarded with, get this, a "conf rematch National Championship game" it was obvious. A leopard doesn't change its spots. the OOC statement by the committee should have said "high profile OOC games will not be punished IF YOU HAVE SAME NUMBER OF LOSSES" they weasel worded something about like teams. We needed these games in 2 team and 4 team era when in the Big 12 after neb/aggy left. We don't need them now. hell the Big 12 doesn't even need them now. Lose early still exists also, see ND and Bama. The goal is to make the playoffs, just like the NCAA tournament in basketball, and to do that you limit the chances for any loss in a 12 game season. This is different than basketball and baseball. you can't have a 32 or 64 team playoff in football unless you eliminate OOC altogether. scheduling a 50/50 potential loss is kind of stupid to be honest.
  14. we should actually push for this punishment as a standing rule for the committee. I'd love to punish dirt burglar/Georgia for Venables/Smart.
  15. yes, the OL last year was good, not close to great. We had a very very good to great LT which helped Ewers survive the season.
  16. on the money. agree with the point on ND. there is no reason to give them OOC games. They can have their USC game and everyone else needs to stop. ND's basically guaranteed spot is hurting Big 12 and ACC also but they want to schedule them to raise SOS. the most hostile environment they play in next year is at Wisconsin.
  17. I think we are lucky that Arch has his grandad to tell him about how to handle himself behind shitty OL's. "Let me tell you a story, boy...."
  18. I have no doubt Bama will play Georgia close enough that a loss won't be a problem. The easiest thing to do will be for the committee to say Florida loss kept us out and point out our SOR is not in top 10. when we all know it is just the loss column number. the BYU winning conundrum would be hilarious though. Going to 16 is problematic because the committee wants byes to keep conf champ games more relevant when both participants are obviously in like Indiana/OSU. G5 playing #1 team is also a much lower chance of pulling an upset. now they play #5.
  19. the new mythical SOR - this seems like some bullshit The "strength of record" (SOR) for an average top 25 team is the probability that an average team in the top 25 would achieve the same record or better given the team's specific schedule. It’s a metric that measures both the quality of a team's record and the difficulty of the games it has played. How it's calculated: SOR compares a team's actual record against its schedule to the record an average top-25 team would likely achieve with that same schedule.
  20. It applies for SEC and Big Ten and ND. I am not saying it never happens but it is probably 95% of the time. Indiana last year is an example because they were "new money" and their schedule was so weak. 10-1 BYU is the only team in the top 16 not ranked in order of loss column. And that is probably because they expect them to get drilled by Tech and will drop anyway. They always sprinkle in the other 2 P4's and a G5 to make it look good, especially farther down the poll you go(again where it doesn't really matter). The portion of the poll that actually matters is basically loss column and pretty much as been that way for the last 50 to 60 years or so. before that the east coast media bias had situations where loss column was sometimes ignored for national champions. 1960 is a good example Minnesota was 9-1, Ole Miss was 9-0-1 but there are others, especially before AP and UPI/Coaches moved to post Bowl game ranking.
  21. thats their big P4 OOC for the next 2 years. easy win. the QB will be gone.
  22. good stuff. as I have been saying, yes comparable teams mean the loss column which is 90% of the criteria. the others can be used for tie breakers in loss column. it doesn't matter that we pants'd OU, Vandy and Aggy. we have 3 losses.
  23. we aren't the ones that make the rules and rated them #3. we can tell you and show you we were right and brag about beating #3. what is so difficult?
  24. Miami with Beck would be juicy for the committee to line up with Georgia as a 2nd round game if they got there.
  25. Vandy fans should be smart but are idiots. their problem is no good wins in SEC not VT being 3-9. It's not hurting Ole Miss at all.
