i mean this is the actual basis for why many on this board have been calling for Sark to get a real play caller , extensive posting and analysis on head coaches winning championships without one
losing Kiffin is a big deal
it won't be earth shattering when they do this, but the ramifications are going to be earth shattering to OOC schedules
this is me being petty , but if im CDC i announce the cancelation of all marquee OOC tomorrow morning if this happens and get the media shit show started
yea i dont want aggy to have an easy path even if JMU would be funny, i would rather them have to grind against away at tech and face ohio state to move advance
I mean were all batching about what happens on the field
The problem is the results are some laughable W/L ranking devoid of any weighting towards what happens in top games.
The results of the current ranking say losing to Ohio State is the same as losing to Oklahoma State. Same with winning.
ND has no on the field justification for being in the top 15 when these are taken into account .
idea was fine , the execution of it is ridiculous
i dont even think its complicated to fix , make a transparent weighted scoring system , remove the humans , remove the ap and coaches poll influence from the scoring system
this is not a technical challenge
It's pretty simple , if the committee is only going to look at w/L we might as well fire them all and just use computers.
Either way if they are going to smooth brain this 3 > 2 loss bs totally missing the field for the magnitude of our wins then we should schedule the games accordingly.
I say this as someone who loves big early season match ups , but if the committee is going to act brain dead then we should be playing rice instead of blue bloods until the TV dealers get their heads out of their asses
ND struggled to put up 25 BC with like 5 take aways
OU struggled against coachless LSU
A&M barely beat Arkansas
Alabama was a few butterfingers away from losing to Auburn
People can pick on some our struggles but they are not unique.
What is unique is texas has been trending uupwhile everyone else is still on the struggle bus while rocking up wins against much stiffer competition.
I'd love to blame their initial position on bad legal team but nothing LSU shows they are remotely competent.
They likely got appropriate advise , chose what seemed like the best/cheapest and unlikely option that was advised against and went with it
Embarrassing themselves even more , and paying more to the lawyers for being even more incompetent than anyone believed.
Best job is fired HFC , second best job is their legal teams
I dont under the general sentiment struggling against MSU or Kentucky is what bombed us
lots of top teams have very commonly struggled against shitty teams and still made it
you don't post this , you have CDC call ESPN and tell them to press on the committee to think about the broader implications on OOC scheduling if they fuck this up
