    Can confirm as the dad of an asu junior. No pedo.

    As the dad of a San Diego State freshman I can also confirm SDSU is right there with them. Still no pedo. 

    Have you been to Islands near the ASU campus for a burger/brew on the patio? Eye candy central

    KSU used to be A&M. Their Potemkin village of a college town calls the center of it where the nightlife is based Aggieville. I would have put the equivalent of air quotes in that last sentence but then I realized I'd have to put quotation marks around pretty much every word. 

    Yes, I've been to Manhattan. I wanna know how & why he got his ass kicked by harmless KSU students/fans.

    aggieville vibes>whatever ISU has.  got my ass kicked in Aggieville.

    ...did tailgate with the KState students who were harmless. ISU was good times. 

    Then how and why did you get your ass kicked in Aggieville? I'm confused

    I would actually like to see Surly readership vs Texags for my boy Graham. 

    At this point, I'm almost convinced Graham is a Surly sock trolling aggy. @Beau Vine is the lead suspect, since he posts that drivel multiple times a week.

    But the cartoon wolf is so unique and clearly New Mexico

    Oh shit nevermind, that's FCS Stony Brook from Long Island.

    You dug deep for that one. I kinda like NC State's retro wolf

    Fuck. Yes. I live in abq and have been screaming for them to get rid of the shitty cartoon lobo logos for years and slap a Zia on the helmet and work turquoise back into the unis. Grand fucking slam, UNM. These are damn near perfect.

    Agree - the cartoon wolves do suck

    a proper baseline for pairing discussions would include a thorough calculationof drive times from every campus to every other campus

    i also choose to rank the football 'strength' of each school based on that school's rank in all time wins, compared only to current FBS teams

    thus, i present you with:

    the Official Drive-sydney-carton-Crazy SEC pairing model

    TM 2025 The Legion of Dynamic Discord, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea

     

    round 1: take out the immovable objects

    Texas/0u

    bama/barn

    klan/klan aggy

    florida/georgia

    that leaves:

    aggy

    kentucky

    lsu

    missouri

    pig

    south carolina

    tennessee

    vandy

    use geography for the other 4 pairings to match the immovable objects:

    aggy/lsu

    kentucky/south carolina (because reasons)

    missouri/pig

    tennessee/vandy

     

    round 2: continue with geography - it doesn't have to be absolute on time/distance - but it must be regional

    this round the top half of the conference (listed based on all-time wins) picks who they 'want' from teams 9-16 in all-time wins

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_win–loss_records

     

    all time wins 1-8

    3 alabama

    5 Texas

    6 0u

    9 georgia

    11 tennessee

    12 lsu

    14 barn

    16 aggy

     

    all-time wins 9-16

    20 florida

    25 pig

    33 missouri

    40 klan

    51 kentucky

    54 south carolina

    63 vandy

    76 klan aggy

     

    top 8 choose in order:

    bama takes klan

    Texas takes pig (we should choose lsu but there is no way the league will let us have 3 pairings in the all-time top 8 with both 0u and lsu, so pig is the next 'makes most sense' choice)

    0u takes missouri

    georgia takes (or is made to take) south carolina (because reasons)

    tennessee takes kentucky

    lsu takes florida

    barn takes vandy and they should thank the football gods for it

    aggy gets klan aggy and they should thank the football gods for it

     

    round 3 is a clusterfuck combination of league decisions, best geo, and reasons

     

    5 Texas (paired w/ 6 0u & 25 pig), has to take 16 aggy by consolation and parasitic viral inhabitation, like breast larvae

    20 florida (already paired w/ 9 georgia & 12 lsu) gets 54 south carolina (best geo, competitive balance, logical geo

    25 pig (already paired w/ 33 missouri & 5 texas) gets 6 0u (best geo, and fixes competitive balance, tough 3rd pairing too bad so sad)

    33 missouri (already paired w/ 25 pig & 6 0u) gets 51 kentucky (tied for next best geo w/ vandy, so has to be kentucky on competitive balance)

     

    so to recap the following 8 are set (lower composite = more difficult)

    5 Texas 6/16/25 (composite: 47)

    6 0u 5/25/33 (composite: 63)

    16 aggy 5/12/76 (composite: 93)

    20 florida 9/12/54 (composite: 75)

    25 pig 5/6/33 (composite: 44)

    33 missouri 6/25/51 (composite: 82)

    51 kentucky 11/33/54 (composite: 98)

    54 south carolina 9/20/51 (composite: 80)

    note that the median composite for the 8 that are sorted is 73

     

    to this point 44 of 48 pairings make sense within the context of this model

    the last 4 pairings .... are likely contentious, but it's easy to see the outside/in method is needed

    last 8 teams remaining to assign their 3rd pairing & remaining geos ordered by distance:

     

    3 alabama paired w/ 14 & 40 (54), geos: 76, 63, 9, 11, 12

    9 georgia paired w/ 20 & 54 (64), geos: 11, 3, 63, 76

    11 tennessee paired w/ 51 & 63 (104), going to have a very strong 3rd pairing, geos: 9, 3, 14, 76, 40, 12

    12 lsu paired w/ 16 & 20 (36), geos: 76, 40, 3, 14, 63, 9, 11

    14 barn paired w/ 3 & 63 (66), geos: 9, 76, 11, 63, 63, 40, 12

    40 klan paired w/ 3 & 76 (79), geos: 63, 14, 12, 9, 11 

    63 vandy paired w/ 11 & 14 (25), needs a weaker 3rd pairing, geos: calcs probably not needed

    76 klan aggy paired w/ 16 & 40 (36), geos: calcs probably not needed

     

    so composites at this stage are 54, 64, 104, 36, 66, 79, 25 and 36

    sorted ascending we get 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 66, 79 and 104

    recall the composite average for the sorted 8 is 73

    outside/in method of addressing the last pairings would thus go in this order:

    104, 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 79 and 66

     

    11 tennessee 104:

    it's pretty clear that tennessee is going to have to play 3 bama or 9 georgia (for a final composite of 107 or 113)

     

    63 vandy 25:

    they are going to have to play 40 klan or 76 klan aggy (for a final composite of 103 or 139)

     

    12 lsu 36 and 76 klan aggy 36:

    let's see if one has to be taken to solve for geo or composite

     

    3 bama 54:

    last 4?

     

    9 georgia 64:

    last 4?

     

    40 klan 79:

    last 4?

     

    14 barn 66:

    last 4?

     

    so let's channel snakey....

    11 tennessee pairs with 9 georgia (best geo that's required for competitive balance + tv wants it)

    12 lsu pairs with 40 klan (2nd best geo, + tv wants it)

     

    we are down to 

    3 bama

    14 barn

    63 vandy

    76 klan aggy

     

    bama and barn already paired

    vandy already paired with barn

    klan aggy only one not paired with other 3

    by default, these last 2 pairings are unavoidable:

    3 bama pairs 63 vandy

    14 barn pairs 76 klan aggy

     

    SO this model produces the following:

    5 Texas 6/16/25 (47)

    6 0u 5/25/33 (63)

    16 aggy 5/12/76 (93)

    20 florida 9/12/54 (75)

    25 pig 5/6/33 (44)

    33 missouri 6/25/51 (82)

    51 kentucky 11/33/54 (98)

    54 south carolina 9/20/51 (80)

    3 alabama 14/40/63 (117)

    9 georgia 11/20/54 (88)

    11 tennessee 9/51/63 (123)

    12 lsu 16/20/40 (76)

    14 barn 3/63/76 (142)

    40 klan 3/12/76 (91)

    63 vandy 3/11/14 (28)

    76 klan aggy 14/16/40 (70)

     

    sorted by (composite SoS), lower = harder, with pairings

    63 Vanderbilt 3/11/14 (28):  Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn

    25 Arkansas 5/6/33 (44): Texas, 0u, Missouri

    5 Texas 6/16/25 (48): 0u, aggy, pig

    6 0u 5/25/33 (63): Texas, pig, Missouri

    76 Mississippi State 14/16/40 (70): Auburn, aggy, MIssissippi

    20 Florida 9/12/54 (75): Georgia, LSU, South Carolina

    12 LSU 16/20/40 (76): aggy, Florida, Mississippi

    54 South Carolina 9/20/51 (80): Georgia, Florida, Kentucky

    33 Missouri 6/25/51 (82): 0u, pig, Kentuckee

    average = 82.375, 9 above, 7 below

    9 Georgia 11/20/54 (88):  Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina

    40 Mississippi 3/12/76 (91): Alabama, LSU, Mississippi State

    16 aggy 5/12/76 (93): Texas, LSU, Mississippi State

    51 Kentucky 11/33/54 (98): Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina

    3 Alabama 14/40/63 (117): Auburn, Mississippi, Vanderbilt

    11 Tennessee 9/51/63 (123): Georgia, Kentucky, Vanderbilt

    14 Auburn 3/63/76 (142): Alabama, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State

     

    conclusions

    georgia, aggy, bama and tennessee can just shut the fuck up about anything for the next 10 years

    sorry vandy someone is going to end up as the punching bag in the first iteration and you're the private school - anchor down!

    dear pig: welcome to the pleasuredome

    to our friends from across the river: you'll figure out the new landscape and do justice to your history (snicker snicker)

    dear corndog: wanna go halves on bribing the b1g to take aggy so we can fuck on the reg?

     

    the one thing this model did not produce that will be bitched about is barn-georgia; vandy / south carolina, or tennessee / klan aggy would have to agree to a switch; i don't see tennessee agreeing to this as georgia is their only marquee game in this model; i suppose vandy and south carolina could agree to this, maybe?  but it puts barn's feels ahead of rational geography; georgia and south carolina make sense; on the flip side columbia to nashville is only 7 hours; in this case vandy still has tenneessee and south carolina still has florida, so if it must be so.....
