  1. PDS - Playoff Derangement Syndrome
  2. CFP can announce that ND has won the Catholic School National Championship every year.
  3. we were gonna beat that spare Carson Beck last year until we knocked his spare ass out of the SEC CCG.
  4. 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....
  5. based on nothing. good news for the Big 12 is that no one cares about SOS. see Tech
  6. thats a lot of if's for teams that aren't traditional powers. Clemson sure. everyone else, meh. Lea is Vandy, Key is GT.
  7. 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.
  8. sure, aggy sucks kinda like the Big 12.
  9. I really wish CCG's weren't a thing but I know they aren't going away($).
  10. they play in the Big 12.
  11. 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.
  12. yay, tied them in the 2nd half!
  13. heide is a waste of a scholarship
  14. This is gonna just be a whistle fest to the end. Virgina is in the double bonus at the 10min mark.
  15. he worked in the 10 year old "Oh no he di' int!" so he's good for the night. no insider "nicknames"
  16. so the UVA guard can just shove our guy OOB?
  17. 6 fouls in 3 minutes.
  18. 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.
  19. holy shit our defense just abysmal.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. this. we aren't making the point, the data and the committees own stated criteria are making the point.
  23. unfortunately a shit ton of learnin' is happening to Sark this year. I still laugh that the guy's whole O is predicated on running Inside Zone but he hasn't fired his OL coach that can't teach or recruit OL to run it. He's forced to OZ which he just wants to be the change up to bust explosives after IZ is established.
  24. I've always been on the get a decent P4 train. no real upside to scheduling a 50/50 or 40/60 type OOC. it is funny though, back in the SWC days we always had OU as a big OOC but and we'd have a PSU or Auburn or someone like that every once in a while as well. the main goal was to win the SWC and win the cotton bowl. if the chips fell right maybe you win the MNC but if you didn't win your conf and associated bowl game you weren't going to win the NC. Even in the 2 and 4 BCS/playoff format it was harder if you weren't a conf champ of something called the SEC. the SEC made all the other conferences think they needed to schedule a big OOC. The biggest problem though is we have had 2 solid 10 year periods in the last 40 years where we were a clusterfuck. one was epic scale cheating/with mid coaching and the other was incompetency at the HC position. now the MNC is actually an NC and that is the main goal and to do that you have to get into the tourney. Yes winning the conf is nice, probably gets you a bye, but as it has always been, you have to minimize the number of losses. before LSU there were zero instances of a team winning the NC with 2 losses BEFORE the bowl game. as an at large, with the unbalanced schedules in the superconference era, you will need to have less than 3(before CCG)90% of the time to make the 7 at large spots. It would be silly to play games that are a coin flip or worse, when you get to choose the opponent and SOS doesn't matter.
  25. yeah, I was making a joke but they do anyway - see ND.
