  1. The eye test has led to some foolish results. Remember 2006 when all the talking heads were convinced Michigan and Ohio State were totally the best teams and both got destroyed by UF and USC?
  2. I’d be fine sliding the scale based on total P5 games played to incentivize it.
  3. I’m not convinced that would impact that one iota. The reason those games are scheduled is for a minimum number of home games and they come cheaper than G5 teams. I don’t see playoff format impacting that game. If you had to schedule one extra P5 per year teams would ditch the G5 game and keep the FCS game due to financial considerations. so rather than proceed with a pointless autobid for whatever 7-5 team pulls an upset in a CCG why not make a quick adjustment to get the best teams in?
  4. 1- The point is to bracket the teams that earned the right to be there. Not to reward average teams for pulling one upset. 2- Capping at two might give the schedule concern you have. Three or four? I doubt that
  5. Name whatever three loss teams you can think of that deserved to play for a national title in the last twenty years. this isn’t about noncon schedules- it’s about getting the best in.
  6. If we are expanding to eight I would have the following setup: p5 conference champs are in with fewer than three losses or autobid shifts to an at-large. top G5 champ is in with similar don’t have three losses or you lose the autobid criteria Unbeaten G5 champs not already in get non-binding preference for remaining at-Large spots. That way a good G5 like 2009 TCU and 2009 Boise who tried to schedule well get in when they deserve it but teams can’t just gerrymander their way to it by scheduling only cupcakes. why three losses? It’s 25% of a regular season and two losses is the most Any national champ over 20 years has had.
  7. Pecking order is as follows: New Years Six Bowls (Playoff, Sugar, possible at-large bids to Fiesta, Cotton, or Peach) Alamo Camping World Texas Bowl Liberty Bowl Cheezit Bowl rotating bid between Armed Forces Bowl and First Responder Bowl Alamo is far from the lower tier it used to be prior to 2014. It used to be like the Liberty bowl is now but now it’s like the Cotton or Holiday used to be.
  8. Assuming LSU beat Georgia there’s a good chance that Texas will either face Utah in the Alamo Bowl or Notre Dame in the Camping World Bowl. Opportunity for a good win ahead
  9. Kelson and Cedric Griffin were so lucky that targeting wasn’t a thing that year.
  10. I would argue probability of making a 2pc is variable based on opponent matchup. more likely Vs the OU defense than the TCU defense for instance. In a perfectly average situation you are right. However the coefficients change based on matchups
  11. Yeah OU only had 8 possessions including OT. So only 2/3 of a typical game’s worth. Add 4 drives and the 3.5 points per drive Army gave up and it’s a typical 42 Point day for OU.
  12. Both teams allowed 50+ yards per drive which is beyond torching a D both teams mostly stuffed each other in the red zone Yards per play is less truthful IMO and tends to say more about how you gained your yards (big plays or not) than how consistently you gained them.
  13. Given the matt Canada micromanaging debacle I wouldn’t be surprised to see him limit it. However you in subsequent posts found examples of them using it. I haven’t watched a ton of them but it wasn’t common at all in the games I watched which admittedly are very few. Granted LSU isn’t a team I normally focus on since they don’t play many Big 12 teams. Tempo should be a double edged sword. as someone who has spent a lot more time looking at the two sec teams: how does LSU and UGA’s respective rpo usages compare?
  14. Uptempo and more RPO. I think Texas can stop them but it should be a little easier sledding for the QB than the dinosaur they had last season.
  15. Gotta think a limited scheme impacted that. It’ll be interesting to see how 2019 differs in December.
  16. Part of the reason I hope expansion can be done in a beneficial way monetarily. It will put the league at a better scheduling advantage.
  17. The boundaries can certainly blur a bit (I disagree on where exactly in TX the Deep South ends for instance) but generally provides some idea of cultural fits.
  18. Other than VT and Pitt the original Big East would have been in a different cultural region on this map and Pitt is an urban campus.
  19. Also WV is similar culturally to much of the conference if you take BusinessInsider’s word for it. https://www.businessinsider.com/regional-differences-united-states-2018-1
  20. They are Appalachian Arkansas. Top 20 all time wins Rural state flagship Located between talent rich states (PA, OH, MD, VA compared to TX, TN, LA, MO) Not the biggest brand in their region but certainly have a lot of history and a loyal following Draws significant tv attention in markets outside their state (WV in Pittsburgh/DC and Arky in DFW/Memphis)
  21. If they added two I could see splitting the Big 8 schools and SWC schools and pairing the two additions and WV with either group. SWC4 + 2 Newbies Big5 + 1 newbie One permanent rival mainly protects Texas-OU but also serves to get OSU and the Ks schools frequent games in Texas.
  22. A team that’s better than its brand. If Texas is sharp it wins comfortably.
  23. Of course this offensive ineptitude ended in a fumbled snap on a critical 4th down
  24. Which of either teams big plays where four guys missed the guy are you referring to? In a game this ugly you need to be specific
