  1. probably not a big enough number. . could easily see them saying champ games don't knock you out...I bet they are saying ACC is a one bid league and Big 12 is 2 if necessary. they will badly want to avoid the "this is just SEC/BiGTen" narrative.
  2. tOSU needs our game more than we do IMO. but yes. go 3-0 and 7-2 and in the playoff. even if those 2 losses are to bottom half of SEC you will have offsetting wins. might be good to look at situation where the good OOC games aren't home and home/back to back years but go 10-2 no matter what and we are in.
  3. sure. they'd probably be in the top 6 in that conference. 5 or 6 wins depending on schedule.
  4. this is a good point. SEC, ABC, Disney want big games week 1. Let the others do that. we'll take week 2 or 3.
  5. no one cares about SOS. have no idea what their SOR would be though.
  6. this. before aggy and Neb left, when we were in the Big 12 we needed a strong OOC game because it was 2 teams(4 later) to raise our SOS but we didn't necessarily need tOSU(even though we did play them)/Mich/Bama. when they left we needed a pretty high level OOC game because we only had OU, really, to drive SOS. now we don't really need any high level OOC game. we don't and won't schedule Rice and 2 other UTEP likes. We just need a mid level P4 team(which we could lose to but odds are in our favor).
  7. I'm just inviting you to raiderpower.com. no one cares if you are here or not.
  8. that'd be funny except no one is saying that but raiderpower.com is open for business.
  9. hmm. do you think we need a portal TE? If we can't get Townshend ready to go maybe Banks is the problem.
  10. they won the ACC, they were an auto bid.
  11. If we struggled with Vandy then OSU struggled with us.
  12. the next ref crew made up for it against Florida.
  13. tOSU, the far and away #1 team in the country, struggled with us, when we weren't nearly as good as we are now.
  14. if they told us it would be a problem, now they have a "number" to point to when SOS causes them problems. see not just eye test!
  15. Florida waxed Florida State. I think Bama has the worst loss, considering FSU is in the worst P4 conf by far this year Florida also did play the #1 SOS though. that said Bama only has 2 losses and only 1 in SEC.
  16. maybe it is. I haven't seen it. if you can point to it that would help. I thought I saw a graphic saying our SOR would be 11 but have no context on how it is calculated.
  17. those 2 loss teams are not SEC or Big Ten. Big Ten and SEC are ranked in order of losses. which is also why OU is #8. they sprinkle in Big 12 and/or ACC where necessary.
  18. the important lesson(which should have been learned years ago) is that SOS means shit. you can have a SOS in the 50's(or 70's)and get in. I do think the committee will use this unknown SOR to put us 11 or 12 and thus out. "sorry so close Texas, that Florida loss, hmm just too bad". they came up with SOR for just this reason. no one knows how it is calculated so they can game the number and point to it.
  19. this is how you know the loss column means everything. we only move 2 spots up after beating up the #3 team handily but when we beat Vandy we moved up 10 spots.
  20. I will respond for the masses 1) dont lose to Florida 2) PUSSY!
  21. Duke has no chance of winning that game. Virgina is much better than Duke first of all and second, the ACC will make sure of it.
  22. OU looked like trash in several wins as well, even one yesterday, we beat them soundly. the only issue for us is 3 losses.
  23. that is funny. ND wouldn't make the NCAA basketball tournament with that resume. the committee is going to make a statement one way or another next week.
