  1. We are moving inevitably toward a system where all the B1G and SEC teams with 7 conference wins will be in, and remaining seats will be invitational after that. Which is fine with me honestly. It would have been the top 7 SEC teams with the top 5 B1Gs this year which would be a badass tourney and rating extravaganza.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
  4. 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."
  5. Miami has better wins, though. The ND-Miami game has to matter or why do we even play?
  6. Loss column doesn't even matter this year. Ask @Crockett
  7. If you are good enough at Russian roulette, 5 or 6 wouldn't matter.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Mel's sources are agents. He will bag or promote any players they tell him to in order to maintain access.
  11. They aren't allowed to consider MoV.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I need some fun today after that rankings show.
  18. If it's Texas vs Michigan? Probably all of them: 1. SEC Championship: Georgia vs. Texas 16.63 Million Conference Title 2. Texas at Ohio State: 16.6 million viewers OOC 2. Tennessee vs. Ohio State 14.68 Million Playoff Game 3. Indiana vs. Notre Dame 13.39 Million Playoff Game 4. Georgia at Texas 13.19 Million Regular Season 5. Michigan at Ohio State 12.30 Million Regular Season Rivalry 6. Georgia at Alabama 11.99 Million Regular Season Rivalry
  19. We need to throw water bottles. Point me in the right direction.
  20. I thought I wanted to hear the committee explanation, but geez that's bad....in addition to those pointed out already, does he realize who Miami's losses are?
  21. People aren't thinking this through. They think it's a good game to play if you a have a 60% chance to win. It's still not.
  22. Playoff expansion will not help this issue.
  23. Hopefully we can get Longhorn-shaped Cheez-Its as a consolation.
  24. It's BYU, they shouldn't lose at all. I just use it as a corollary to show SOS/SOR. It puts the figures into numbers that any people can understand. The truth is the committee values SOR highly, and Tech's would be terrible with two losses.
  25. I still think Tech doesn't have the schedule to weather another loss. 2-2 vs Top 40 teams is a terrible look when all the bubble teams (except ND) have beaten more top 40 than Tech has played.
