2021 UFC/MMA thread
Can’t think of any recent event that was halfway this good. Having no WMMA on main helped 🤣. Nobody deserves the belt more than Yan. Got robbed in 2 straight decisions. Correct judging aside he’d be 22-3 (actually 23-2 without dumb DQ vs Aljo), with a string of title defenses and firm claim to greatest BW of all time. Pantoja injury was fucking gnarlly. No dislocation, hyperextension, or bone fractures in this sport grossed me out more than this one. The first snap was nasty enough and the second splay just sickening. 🤢

The nuance is that Leclerc is an exceptional 1-lap racer, which exaggerated the Q results. Trend wise their gap narrowed in the 2nd half of the season, before this recent bad run of form. Shit happens. Maybe he needs Nicole Scherzinger back.

Some ways to separate the driver from the car is race consistency, control (eg tire management), and rain performance. Throughout his career he’s been superb at all 3 and especially the rainmaster title its a class of 2 with him and verstappen.

If they finish the race according to Q1, it would be: Piastri - 417 Norris - 416 Verstappen - 414 😵 And Albon also out. Whats going on with those 2.

Lando qualifies first. Oscar second. Max 3rd. Max goes for broke and dive-bombs into T1, wiping out lando. Oscar takes the trophy.

Let's say Oscar is close in 2nd and fighting for a win. What's the team's legitimate argument for asking him drop places? From their perspective they already secured WCC, which is the "real" objective of the sport and directly determines the rewards payout. If you're Google or OKX (the title sponsor), having one of your driver winning WDC is great... but having your driver win the race is good too.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
I'd say Texas is superior to Vandy, ND, Miami, and whatever high school team gets in by way of conference championship (Virginia, Tulane), and at the same time none of this group is worthy of being in anyway.

That's not the rule. Nobody is making that game or making that ex-post claim. Is Ole Miss the de facto 2015 champion because they beat what would later, at the end of the season, turn out to be the #1 team in Alabama? The rankings are as-best-determined at at time of record. They are not retroactively updated at the end - almost nothing in life works this way.

NCAA, ESPN, and the Texas Longhorns record the rankings contemporaneously. IMO this makes sense, because teams trend and the rankings tries -- imperfectly as it does -- to best reflect them. You could argue that the earlier rankings are less reliable and try to unweight them, but the way its done is the way its done and is just as valid.

If that's the rule, we can also drop the pitch that Texas has "3 wins against the top 10"

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
OU beat 5 ranked teams: 3 of them came in the last 4 games; 2 of those were on the road; 1 of them was Alabama. Their 1 squeaker was against LSU. ** TX beat 4 ranked teams: 2 in the recent half of the season; 1 was on the road. 2 squeaker wins against opponents worse than LSU. ** I think we're a better team than OU and would be on the favored side of a coin-flip, but you can see how their body of work can be vouched for. If hypothetical H-2-H performances is the determinant of playoff contender, we shouldn't even entertain Tulane, UNT, UVA in the group but so far nobody's strongly opposed to their inclusion?

No other leagues are permitted. At the end of the regular season, the SEC starts a 16-team tournament to determine the national champion. Other teams and other leagues play in lesser bowls for consolation prizes.

It's an engineering contest. F1 is a competition of which team builds the fastest cars, which determines the order. Driver variability adds +/- 2 places. Strategy adds +/- 2. Then luck does the rest. So in a typical race where everything falls near the middle of the +/- distribution and there's no random shit you would see results like: Team A, A, B, C, C, B, D, D, E, F- Formula 1 2025
what the hell happened in the relative performance of albon vs sainz?- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
80% of champions come from top 3. #4 has such a marginal probability of winning it all expanding the playoff eliminates the controversy over which team deserves to have that final chance. practically speaking, the 6 and beyond are a moonshot if youre fighting to be #12 youve already lost.- a Disservice to our sport - let's up the ante - decline the bowl game
Beating up on a blueblood team in a cool location for players and fans is good for everybody
