The "Flood plays favorites" stuff is coming from multiple places and now reaching that of a dim roar as far as these kinds of things go.
Well you and I both know this is an awful way to manage talent regardless of what field you're in. I know Steve wasn't really hands-on this offseason and what feels like much of the early season, but it baffles me how someone who can be very involved misses a flaw this big. Especially in one of his most visible talent managers. So he either wilfully ignores it which is bad, he knows about it and doesn't care which is bad, or he plays the same favorites as flood until a gun is pointed to his head which is also bad

WHy? Bama's SEC opponents had a 32-32 record this year and Texas opponents were 35-29. OU was 35-29. Alabama benefitted from an easier SEC schedule. It is not like all SEC teams play the same SEC schedule. I know it is crazy to think that you should look at every game a team plays. Again, the committee has Bama as the last team in currently. (used AI for these, so apologize if anything is off, but you get the pt.)
I looked at it this morning and my napkin math had Texas opponnents at 31-33 compared to 32-32 for Bama. The only difference at all between bama and texas really is that we played OSU and they did not. Had we played Oregon State or something we would both be 10-2 and have pretty much the same resume

If Ole Miss was a borderline playoff team in the 10-12 range, I could see that but the most I could see is the committee making them go on the road as a 9/10 and bump everyone up a spot. Those teams were all getting home games anyway except Notre Dame.
Yeah I think this is a reasonable take. Seedings have been adjusted in the past (FSU) based on major developments to a team's chances. How much does Lane leaving have an effect on Ole Miss being a playoff team? Idk I was trying to have another conversation that wasn't the same as the last 500 posts about not losing to Florida lol
