  1. Also, (too late to edit): The correct word is relational- not circular - because it's not starting from a place that gets it back to that same place. It iterates between teams that have played until it produces an acceptable outcome. I can clear my model and start with Okie State preseason as the greatest team of all time and all the SEC teams occupying the lowest places, but it'll work back to the exact same place that it is right now.
  2. I agree on these two points, but models do a decent job of churning all the data and spitting out estimates that are pretty close to reality. The more quality non-conference games that we get the more reliable it becomes to do this. However, having done this a number of years, bowls just don't majorly change what the model thinks about teams or conferences, even though that's when half of the good games happen. The issue with SOS specifically is that there are several different methods trying to measure different things that all call themselves SOS. When people colloquially use it, they are trying to answer, "How difficult is it (or how good a team do you need to be) to play through a schedule and make the playoff?" Not all models are even trying to answer that in their SOS rankings, though. (And people will cherry-pick.)
  3. About half of the top 10 SoS's are SEC teams. And A&M is one of those or just outside depending on where you look. I agree that we are here largely because the top 2 conferences stacked talent. I think where we differ is that I understand that those conferences will take their ball and go home within a decade if we don't get some sort of reasonable scheduling OR playoff selection consideration.
  4. I want to remind everyone that Lane Kiffin has been a head coach for 14 years and has: 0 playoff appearances 2 conf championships (USA) 2 NY6 appearances 1 NY6 bowl win
  5. This describes more playoff teams than it doesn't.
  6. My guess: 1 Ohio State (1) 2 Indiana (2) 3 Georgia (5) 4 Texas A&M (4) 5 Texas Tech (6) 6 Ole Miss (7) 7 Oregon (8) 8 Oklahoma (11) 9 Alabama (4) 10 Notre Dame (9) 11 BYU (12) 12 Utah (13) 13 Vanderbilt (14) 14 Miami (15) 15 Georgia Tech (16) 16 USC (17) 17 Texas (10) 18 Michigan (18) 19 Virginia (19) 20 Tennessee (23) 21 Illinois (NR) 22 North Texas (NR) 22 Missouri (NR) 24 Washington (NR) 25 Louisville (20)
  7. This one is on me guys. We've never lost a game in Georgia while I was here. We've lost both where I had to be out of town.
  8. Take the bad with the good lol.
  9. Their PI and holds were worse than the ones called on us.
  10. 5.6 ypc, That's very good.
  11. Every UGA game that I've watched has been like this. It's not us. SEC officiating needs to clean house. They already started.
  12. Gotta take the bad with the good with Wingo. OL looks good, let's keep it up.
  13. I didn't watch, wth is going on?
  14. Both these QBs are playing wild with the ball. Bama isn't getting consistent enough pressure to force mistakes on Mateer, though.
  15. Ty Simpson seems like he sucks.
  16. USF and Cincy weren't ranked for long.
  17. Almost as bad as the 2nd&1 sack.
  18. Yeah. This is his third time down. Medical might want to stop clearing him.
  19. Navy* is also handling USF. North Texas will take their spot next week.
  20. aggy November
  21. What was the first half line?
