  1. certainly there is some randomness. what they really want is helmet schools to schedule each other to drive viewers. could those helmet schools suck that year? Yes possible but if it is early in the year everyone is excited and the helmet schools will likely be ranked(not that it is fair, it is just what it is). the portal will increase the potential randomness. basically the only thing I have seen the committee give a shit about as it relates to big ten and sec, other than losses, is H2H and that is only really when they are significantly forced to consider it. they have to because it involves a win or a loss and not a "metric" but it only involves "tied" teams. They could really screw the pooch with their considerations a) the Texas OSU OOC game and b) H2H(Miami/ND). they already don't give a shit about SOS. common opponents seems fucked as well. Texas 2-0 vs 1-1 against ND. SEC/Big Ten are grouped by losses and in general ACC(minus Miami/FSU/Clemson) and Big 12 have to have 1 fewer losses than those 2 conferences to be sprinkled in, SOS be damned. Big 12 is hurt by not having a "helmet school" and ACC has new helmet in Miami, FSU, Clemson. Big 12 is better overall than ACC though. IMO, the SOR was specifically created to give them significant cover so they can use the loss column. Your are telling me that the schools in the top 14 on SOR are the exact same 14 that are listed by the CFP but that SOR is not almost completely related/weighted to the loss column? TLDR: do everything in your power to minimize the number in the loss column
  2. you forget that if it was at Jordan Hare Vandy would have lost by 20+
  3. instead of a Heisman ceremony, the top 2 Heisman candidates should have to play a game against each others teams for the trophy.
  4. PDS - Playoff Derangement Syndrome
  5. CFP can announce that ND has won the Catholic School National Championship every year.
  6. we were gonna beat that spare Carson Beck last year until we knocked his spare ass out of the SEC CCG.
  7. this. I would be different if our resume other than the loss column sucked. you know like a SOS in the 60's or 1 top 15 win or more than one loss over a team we should beat, or losing the only 2 tough games on our schedule or....
  8. based on nothing. good news for the Big 12 is that no one cares about SOS. see Tech
  9. thats a lot of if's for teams that aren't traditional powers. Clemson sure. everyone else, meh. Lea is Vandy, Key is GT.
  10. I'm not gonna root for it but it would be funny if dirt burglar gets lined up with ND and shuts them down. We also drilled the team that beat ND at home.
  11. sure, aggy sucks kinda like the Big 12.
  12. I really wish CCG's weren't a thing but I know they aren't going away($).
  13. they play in the Big 12.
  14. people need to stop talking about the 12 best teams. the committee is only deciding on the 7 at large and we need to look at it that way. for us there are only 8 spots(SEC champ and 7 at large). they don't care about SOS for the 7 at large. they seed 12 but they don't decide on best 12.
  15. yay, tied them in the 2nd half!
  16. heide is a waste of a scholarship
  17. This is gonna just be a whistle fest to the end. Virgina is in the double bonus at the 10min mark.
  18. he worked in the 10 year old "Oh no he di' int!" so he's good for the night. no insider "nicknames"
  19. so the UVA guard can just shove our guy OOB?
  20. 6 fouls in 3 minutes.
  21. ha. 4 of the top 6 have SOS 40 or higher. zero discussion about that. If Ohio State didn't play Texas they'd probably have a SOS in the low 50's and still be #1.
  22. holy shit our defense just abysmal.
  23. and hilariously we played 4 of them and went 3-1 but we are getting left out. why? because of the number in the loss column. add ND who played aggy and lost at home and we drilled, have better SOS, SOR. why? loss column.
  24. it matters for SEC and Big Ten. they sprinkle in ACC/Big 12/G5 as you get down the poll. 1-10 are in order of loss column(even Tech with the 69th ranked schedule or some such) BYU is in there because they expect them to lose and they are Big 12 and they are #11 so it doesn't matter anyway for playoff(you have to be in the 10 spot) They always try to do something down the poll to show it isn't just loss column. Vandy is the only outlier for Big Ten/SEC and that was easy because we beat them head to head and guess what, it still doesn't mean anything because 11-25 aren't making the playoff. once they decide on the field things will move to try to avoid rematches.
  25. this. we aren't making the point, the data and the committees own stated criteria are making the point.
