I think it is pretty transparent. Whatever ESPN wants the committee will twist the evidence to support it.

To get the conversation away from shitty realignment talk...I posted this on the aggy thread last week, but seems relevant when discussing how shitty the playoff committee is... Every single SEC team will play 1 FCS team by the end of the season. 7 of the 10 Big 12 teams will have played an FCS opponent. Every SEC team has scheduled 2 G5 this season as well. The Big 12 plays a total of 11 G5 teams. Oklahoma State (the only team with 2 G5 games) will be the only B12 team to play 9 P5 teams during the regular season, just like EVERY SEC team. All the rest of the Big 12 will play at least 10. Meaning only the two SEC CCG participants will have played as many P5 games before the bowls and playoffs as 9 of the 10 Big 12 teams. I imagine the comparisons to the schedules of other conferences won’t paint a much prettier picture of how the SEC is made up of teams that refuse to play as many difficult games as the rest of the country. The committee will hold up Baylor's shitty 3-game OOC in 2014 as a negative, but ignores the SEC for doing it for 3 of their 4-game OOC across the entire the fucking conference.

A 'shhh' would have been a very appropriate response there, a shame he couldn't use it...

It takes the strong smell of cash to lead a blind man to the Station.

Their schedule has played completely into their hands. It is unbelievable just how bad some of the offenses are in the SEC this year. Kentucky would be lucky to have two conference wins in the Big 12. They have also been so completely lucky on the injury front. Their lack of depth at multiple positions was the talk of the pre-season, but they have avoided any real injury issues since the season started. If they had the injury luck we had at the start of either Strong or Herman's first half of their first seasons, aggy would already be needing multiple wins in these last 4 to have any hopes of making a bowl game.

So he just adds a Bert to the background to make it perfect?

The practical problem with going to 10 or above is then there is increased pressure to have all conference champs. That again limits the numbers of P5 teams that can be involved in an expanded playoffs and no media rights org wants anything to do with having to pay good money to stage games with that many G5 champs. The P5 also would also likely have to split a higher percentage with the G5 if they are putting up half the 'contenders'. 8 is a good number because you can set criteria on who gets in whether you stick with some crappy eye-test committee or BCS system for all 8 choices or just try to get the P5 champs autobids and give one spot to a G5 with only two beauty contestants for the final spots. 8 games is probably worth more TV money than 10 with only conference autobids.

The anti-Ojomo? Does that mean he's not a take?

Well shit, there goes my chance to joke that Big Ben would rape the cheetah first.

Is it an African or a European swallow?

So I am trying to figure out how this conversation is supposed to go...The Big 12 demands a better time slot and then what? The networks give in and give us the time we want, because why? If they don't give in are we supposed to hold our collective breaths until they submit? Should we tell them to fuck that $30M and not get televised at all? Just not understanding how these negotiations go.

His tweets are fun to laugh at, but someone needs to keep an eye out for his next racist bit so his future potential employers can see he is an unrepentant racist douchebag.

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things doesn't belong.

I am guessing teams that go through as many changes in offense, offensive coordinators, and OL coaches as we have over the past 10 years, probably don't develop a large number of All-Conference players or draft picks. The problem with quantifying it is that most teams in that position aren't getting as many 4 and 5 star OL commits.

But it's not. As aggy has only close wins over middling teams and a blowout over one of Connelly's lowest rated teams. They have two losses to top teams, one close and one a blowout. Their 7th game doesn't even count in Connelly's ratings. And they are ranked over 20 places higher than us. I have a feeling if you changed our Tulsa win to a 30 point blowout we magically jump 25 spots in his rankings.

Lulz. Though the toilet is way too clean for a homeless man hustling blowjobs. Also needs a large SEC logo somewhere and a half drunk bottle of Michelob Ultra.

Some people get their panties in a twist whenever a player leaves early and then feel vindicated if that player doesn't hit the highest end of their potential draft spot. They ignore the fact that the risk is staying, getting hurt, and making nothing. Jones might benefit from another year, as unlike Deshon Elliot, he has first day athleticism. That said, his athleticism makes it unlikely that he drops to the 6th round like Elliot did. Would love to have Jones back and see him make 1st/2nd round money as that makes the program look like it can max out recruits. Considering the risks, I can't feel bad about the guy taking a chance to make real coin even if it isn't maximized. Also, the reality is that Jones is limited in the amount of coaching he can get at this level. He is much more likely to improve his ball skills and his overall craft as a pro than as college player, because as a pro he can get unlimited coaching and practice, either from his team or from training he can afford with his pockets full.

Business in front, in back a Longhorn Party and a Longhorn Party never ends.

If we add Washington on Friday, according to the class calculator we will still fall short of passing OU for #6 and we will have 20 commits to their 18. I am guessing our best shot at hitting the Top 5 going to be based on us taking 28 while some others below us take 25 or less.

Why is everyone acting so surprised? Wouldn't you be ranting and raving too if you screwed up your relationship with your current school a year to late to get a guaranteed $75M from aggy?

This is the cleanest and easiest option. However, I imagine politics will come into play and there will be some mechanism for the G5 getting close to a guaranteed spot. Could range from just being highest ranked undefeated G5 to highest ranked G5 within a certain band (Top 10 or 15) in some new BCS system designed to seed the teams. I could live with that scenario just to get CCG autobids.

The Tech loss to Ole Miss is the only one that looks like a decent Big 12 team got beat by a bad SEC team. But Tech still has us and OU along with road games against ISU and KSU before finishing up at home with Baylor. They could easily finish .500 in conference. Ole Miss still has home games against a mediocre South Carolina and a disappointing Miss St. With road games against Vandy and aggy, they too could easily finish .500 in conference. It could end up looking like a wash in the end.
