  1. It's not us that needs to change. Playoff selection needs to change, and everyone else needs to change. There's no reason to race to the bottom. No one wants this.
  2. Yeah. The Georgia fans that I know are scared of Bama and rooting for A&M to beat Texas for that reason. (They are also irrationally jealous of us, so already hated us.)
  3. Your premise is wrong because we aren't being treated as a 2-loss team. We are being treated as a 3-loss team with a top 10 SOS. Our SOR is stronger than our ranking. It's insane that we are ranked below our SOR with the wins that we have. It means the commitee looked at us and Miami and went. "Texas has the stronger record, lost to #36 vs lost to #24 and #29, much much better wins...okay Miami should be ahead."
  4. Miami has better wins, though. The ND-Miami game has to matter or why do we even play?
  5. Loss column doesn't even matter this year. Ask @Crockett
  6. If you are good enough at Russian roulette, 5 or 6 wouldn't matter.
  7. If the NFL ended today, 6-6 Baltimore is in the Playoffs over 8-4 Buffalo and 9-4 SF who both also have a tougher SOS. ...and the other 6-6 team in the same division played a tougher SOS.
  8. Clemson being good the past decade is the only reason the ACC is considered a power conference. It's why all their brands want out.
  9. Mel's sources are agents. He will bag or promote any players they tell him to in order to maintain access.
  10. They aren't allowed to consider MoV.
  11. THIS 100%. I'm not really mad that we got left out. Young team and it took a while for us to really get going. 5th in the SEC, rough road games. But look at how little other teams have accomplished that are going to be in. And not just one team. Half the field.
  12. Vandy and Notre Dame have very comparable resumes. Won the games they should. Lost two games above them. Vandy edges ND in my SOR, but it's not by much. Vandy has better wins, but ND has better losses.
  13. That's why we are above them in SOR. That's exactly what SOR does, but it's only as good as data going in.
  14. The way I see it is that losing the game will almost always cost you 4 spots (it's probably costing us 5 spots this year), and winning it maybe gives you two spots if SOS is an actual determinant. It starts to make sense to play an OOC game where you are a 7-point favorite (75% chance to win). So if you think are the best team in the nation, you want to schedule like a Pittsburgh at best.
  15. The main issue is scheduling. There is just no way to evaluate these teams, even for computer polls. The teams with the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 12th, 17th, and 18th least reliable data according to my model are: Ohio State, Tech, Indiana, Oregon, Miami, and Notre Dame. It's not a coincidence that these are basically all playoff teams not in the SEC. Dodging tough games is the entire system.
