  1. I think you misunderstand me. they have no requirement to put the 3 loss team(who didn't play in the conf champ game) at 10 in the last poll regardless of where they rank us in the previous poll. they would just put us at 12 for appearances. they will talk about how they are giving us credit for the tOSU game(if ESPN asks) but, it's Bama OU ND. H2H doesn't matter, SOS doesn't matter, getting beat in the conf champ game doesn't matter. the only thing that matters is the 3rd loss. Sark was right when he said since Florida he told the team every game was a playoff game from here on out. he knew 3 losses and we were out because he knows how these guys all think. they are all ex players, ex coaches, ex AD's and losses are BAD and they've all been fucked by being ranked below a team that has one fewer losses when they knew they were better. you are what your record says you are. our turn in the barrel.
  2. yeah, we aren't getting in. media contracts aren't gonna affect this decision made by the people in the room. this discussion now is what the committee actually values and what we could do in the future in the era of super conference unbalanced schedules.
  3. to be honest I think it is possible they will rank us 12 and give the old "total resume, see we aren't punishing them for tOSU loss, they would have been lower" knowing that it makes fuckall difference because we have to be 10 for anything to matter.
  4. of course not. that's not how advertising dollars work...
  5. LSU's permanent rivals are aggy, Ole Miss, and Ark. much better than getting Georgia every year. Did Florida basically just say they were out on the bidding war?
  6. ha. when does Bijan become a free agent?
  7. probably not a big enough number. . could easily see them saying champ games don't knock you out...I bet they are saying ACC is a one bid league and Big 12 is 2 if necessary. they will badly want to avoid the "this is just SEC/BiGTen" narrative.
  8. tOSU needs our game more than we do IMO. but yes. go 3-0 and 7-2 and in the playoff. even if those 2 losses are to bottom half of SEC you will have offsetting wins. might be good to look at situation where the good OOC games aren't home and home/back to back years but go 10-2 no matter what and we are in.
  9. sure. they'd probably be in the top 6 in that conference. 5 or 6 wins depending on schedule.
  10. this is a good point. SEC, ABC, Disney want big games week 1. Let the others do that. we'll take week 2 or 3.
  11. no one cares about SOS. have no idea what their SOR would be though.
  12. this. before aggy and Neb left, when we were in the Big 12 we needed a strong OOC game because it was 2 teams(4 later) to raise our SOS but we didn't necessarily need tOSU(even though we did play them)/Mich/Bama. when they left we needed a pretty high level OOC game because we only had OU, really, to drive SOS. now we don't really need any high level OOC game. we don't and won't schedule Rice and 2 other UTEP likes. We just need a mid level P4 team(which we could lose to but odds are in our favor).
  13. I'm just inviting you to raiderpower.com. no one cares if you are here or not.
  14. that'd be funny except no one is saying that but raiderpower.com is open for business.
  15. hmm. do you think we need a portal TE? If we can't get Townshend ready to go maybe Banks is the problem.
  16. they won the ACC, they were an auto bid.
  17. If we struggled with Vandy then OSU struggled with us.
  18. the next ref crew made up for it against Florida.
  19. tOSU, the far and away #1 team in the country, struggled with us, when we weren't nearly as good as we are now.
  20. if they told us it would be a problem, now they have a "number" to point to when SOS causes them problems. see not just eye test!
  21. Florida waxed Florida State. I think Bama has the worst loss, considering FSU is in the worst P4 conf by far this year Florida also did play the #1 SOS though. that said Bama only has 2 losses and only 1 in SEC.
  22. maybe it is. I haven't seen it. if you can point to it that would help. I thought I saw a graphic saying our SOR would be 11 but have no context on how it is calculated.
  23. those 2 loss teams are not SEC or Big Ten. Big Ten and SEC are ranked in order of losses. which is also why OU is #8. they sprinkle in Big 12 and/or ACC where necessary.
