  1. I know Tech can still win B12 - by elimination I mean for the league Zero chance now to get 2 playoff teams All the other leagues have multiple mulligans
  2. Shouldn’t be an elimination game but it is
  3. Turnover needed in a bad way
  4. I haven't attended any games yet this year but I can say for a fact that during the most recent prior seasons they were throwing puppies (with *possible* home playoff games on the horizon, this tortilla nonsense has turned into a very big deal - $100k fine per incident!!)
  5. There's a lot of cringe moments in the show but my daughter and I are still enjoying it. However, the new Eli's Places episode in which Eli visits with Powell about the show is much funnier
  6. Wow. Cats drop the game winner
  7. Holding call saves BYU from regretting not going for 2 in regulation
  8. Even is he was short, the spot was still wrong as well
  9. I could not disagree more. The rank prior to yesterday should not matter at all. Bama beat Georgia. Since their records are identical, we need no other data. I don’t need a poll to tell me who the better team is - I saw it with my own eyes. And I see that the AP poll did get it right. My initial response was to the posted poll with UGA still at 10
  10. Yes it matters. And it’s all bullshit. These rankings now fuel the arguments for multiple teams from same conferences come playoff time. Georgia and Alabama both have 1 loss. If playoffs were today, Georgia would have a better seed. Now, I understand that the playoffs don’t start today. And that the AP poll is not the CFPC. But the mindset is the same. And it bothers me to be told that philosophies and mindsets things will change come playoff time when it really matter and things will work themselves out. No! Philosophies shouldn’t change. That’s the mindset that drives me crazy.
  11. No
  12. Go for 2 here?
  13. If it’s not throw the rule out
  14. Worst call of the game
  15. Yes it’s been idiotic forever. We are being told that the CFP has corrected it. I maintain that it has not. I am losing interest (ha, I’m posting on another schools message board) so I assume others are as well. Perhaps new consumers are outpacing us old timers and the ratings won’t falter. I know that I personally am not enjoying CFB like I used.
  16. I did see that. My issue I guess becomes the meaning of “objective”. Why is it so difficult? TTU being #1 is not objective. Neither is ND inclusion’s over USF’s Do we all agree with those 2 statements? It’s not really rocket surgery is it? Why do the actual voters make it seem so difficult? Sidenote: My honest belief is that South Florida’s schedule isn’t strong enough for them to maintain a high rank all season. But to deny them early when they actually have the skins on the wall to take advantage of that brief window in time to celebrate all the pomp and circumstance that comes with being ranked is an example of where this great sport misses the boat. IMO
  17. My thread on the subject wasn’t taken seriously, probably due to my TTU fandom but also because that other thread came off as being pro OU so I guess I should have known better. I won’t bump that thread, however, “objectivity” was also used and that really was the point I was trying to make. So, this week we have 0-2 ND still ranked (2 top25 losses) 2-1 USF unranked (2 wins vs top25 and 1 loss vs top25) The message: South Florida you will NEVER be invited to the party ND you are ALWAYS welcome I know that CFB is just a TeeVee show that needs eyeballs and ratings but at what point do the the eyeballs conclude that they no longer give a crap?
  18. Pre-season polls aren’t going away and I agree that they have to start somewhere. I don’t like pre-season pols polls because pollsters and voters are too afraid to admit to being wrong. I just wish people were willing to completely scratch it after week 1’s results come in. FSU beat Bama. We don’t need to know anything about the past or the future. At that point in time - FSU is better and they should remain that way in the polls until other games say otherwise. How FSU compares to other teams is subjective and debatable. But their position relative to Bama was settled on the field. A&M should not be able to claim a Top8 win if they beat ND this week. ND has played 1 game. They lost. They are not Top8. At least the metrics in the data base you reference has ND at 25
  19. I like the attempt at “current results” but it’s obviously broken No need to further evaluate beyond Bama and FSU
  20. This. I said this wasn’t about Texas Tech but I think in a small way - or in a loud in your face proclamation - it’s a message to Cody Campbell The message being: “We still run the show and just to prove it, we won’t use some little upstart peon, we’ll tell a few of our national brands to sit this one out”
  21. Texas Tech hasn’t done jack squat !!! Texas Tech is not getting shafted by the polls. But the last sentence in the quote cuts to the heart of the matter. The pollster think so highly of what Norte Dame is gonna do in the future they ignore ND’s now - which is a loss Likewise, they think so poorly of Mich and Bama’s future they are ignoring OU and FSU’s now - which are two wins We are used to non helmet schools getting this treatment. To see it happening to 4 helmet schools is something new altogether and it’s completely blowing up any pretense and narratives about history, culture, and tradition and is boldly and blatantly proclaiming F all y’all - we decide who we want in our little game and there’s nothing you can do about it.
  22. Yes I’ve mentioned some teams that fit that description. But The thread title is Bama and Michigan regarding their losses to FSU and OU. I’ve been waiting for that response. This place always delivers.
  23. Wow! If you’ve mis-read me that poorly and every one else has done so likewise the I do deserve all the shit I’m getting for this thread as I obviously cannot articulate an opinion. My belief and reason for the thread is that I do NOT think FSU and OU are getting enough credit for those wins. And I’m asking why not? What have the teams ranked ahead of them done the past two weeks that is is better? Nothing really save for a few exceptions (tOSU, LSU, Miami) The answer? Because those teams all had better starting positions. Nothing more. Nothing less. Look, the question wasn’t why aren’t Miss St and S Florida getting more love for beating ASU and Florida It was why aren’t flipping bluebloods FSU and OU getting more props for beating bluebloods Bama and Michigan? It’s confusing because come playoff time there’ll be a whole lot of talk about the gauntlets teams face in the BIG and SEC
  24. Thank you for that response. And you’ve swerved into a data point that I believe should matter not one bit - history and prior seasons - if there HAS to be a pre-season poll then yes you need something to hang your hat on. But once the first ball is kicked, new data should replace the old. And wins should matter. Losses too, but only when compared to other losses. ND at 0-1 and still Top10? They gotta earn that back. Other teams also scheduled tough ranked opponents - and won. They deserve to be rewarded for those wins!
