Probably not that extreme, but they shouldnt be hosting. 

They can complain to Deez Nutz. I wonder if the New England Patriots shouldve tried complaining after they lost in 2007.

calm down bro.  I don't agree with what will happen just stating what will happen.  No, the patriots lost the last game of the year and didn't win the title even though they beat the Giants earlier that year.  That is why you have a last game, winner take all playoffs.

It is amusing watching Bama fans flail about over maybe being left out with many whining that "we should never commit to a tough home and home again in our out of conference schedule". Yeah, your OOC isn't what is going to cost you a spot. It's losing to two 6-6 conference teammates.

I am just tired of people saying that. Would it suck if the shoe was on the other foot, yes it would. But you have to win the games that are the most important. UGA lost their most important game last year and it cost them big. If we make it back to face them and win, I will feel 0% guilt for winning the championship and aggy can asterisk all day if they want, I dont give a shit.

Yup it’s the losses to SEC teams, but they aren’t too off in making the point that there’s no reason to schedule hard OOC games anymore.

Forget the seeding, who do we want to play? 

I would personally prefer the 6 seed in McMurphys bracket to get to the finals.  Clemson, Boise, UGA/Dome/IU

Well let's be honest here. Did Bama have a lot of risk playing Wisconsin or South Florida this year?

Learning from FSU, Georgia will wait until after the rankings are announced to report Beck has a torn UCL and punter blew out his ACL. 

It will make little difference but the whining from FSU fans will be delicious.

Dumb take, UGA is guaranteed a 2 seed

Effectively yes, but the committee could lower them and they are only guaranteed a bye if they are in the committee’s top 4 conference champions. The committee dropped FSU to 5th last year based on the QB being out.

Dude stop, this isnt even close to the same thing, they just won the SEC title with their backup. FSU got knocked because their backup looked like a middle schooler trying to throw the ball. They are the 2 seed even if they come out and announce that Beck is dead.

And put Boise State or Arizona State at the 2 spot? Come on man.

Can someone answer why the selection committee would give a fuck about Beck's arm when Georgia appeared to be a better team without him?

My thinking exactly.  Stockton did throw an interception but he also completed 75% of his passes and had a (slightly) higher QBR.  I'm not seeing a dropoff.

Georgia didn't look any better without him. You guys are crazy that backup was ass - just because PK didn't playcall accordingly doesn't mean he was good. He was terrible.

Because FSU fans want another cross to martyr themselves on.

his completion stats were mega inflated by rb passes and shit. He tried to lay the boom several times and ended the game concussed. He is an idiot and didn’t really do anything great

All 3 other talking heads had to stifle laughter at orlovsky's last "point".  What a fucking moron.  Texas hammered Michigan at their place.  Michigan beat fOSU at the shoe.  Argument over.

They sooooo want ND to get the sweet 5 seed.  It is hilarious.

We were ahead of Penn State in every computer and behind them in most every human poll.

I was wondering if I am the only one that thought UGA is upgrading their qb.

I'm a big fan of the concept of computer rankings -- I develop and run computer analysis of physical systems for a living -- but as of yet I can't say I've seen computer models pass every sniff test.  Sagarin has ND at #1.  I mean, that's fucking ridiculous.  If I were Sagarin, I would look at a result like that and ask "where is the flaw in my model?  There is no way a 1-loss ND with a best win over A&M and a loss to Northern Illinois is better than an undefeated Oregon team with a win over Ohio State."

I couldn't believe the ND-Hickory matchup came to fruition.

This is why I like the concept of crowd sourcing the computer models.  One model may emphasize one type of data, another emphasize another. But if you have 50 computer models, then combined they will use all possible data to some degree. And if one uses an obscure method, then it will be only a small fraction of the overall rating.

Still complaining about Texas' resume 🙄 

 

Klatt is just sticking up for his employer's chosen conference. He's been blowing Texas all year. Now, he's got to put on his outraged Big 10 hat. The most amusing part is Texas never shys from playing a tough schedule. We purposefully allowed our game with Michigan to shift to playing there first to accommodate his f'ing employer. And of course to get the fuck out of the Big 12 faster. 

Posted

Texas:  Pushed in Michigan’s shit in Ann Arbor, made conference title game in best conference, took a second loss while Ohio State had its tiny dick in its hand at home. 
 

Ohio State:  Lost to Michigan at home, touches itself at night. 
 

Analysis over.

Just leaving this in this thread cause seems most appropriate. 

3/4 of those are in same side of bracket. 

Well, "fair" would be 2/2, so it's a little off, but it's a pretty minor discrepancy.

My favorite was 2012 when the computers ranked us above Alabama; same record but we lost to a better team.

to answer his question: NO

Losses count, too, and Ohio State has a TERRIBLE one at home.

Fortunately in a playoff situation, Ohio State has the ability to prove they are better than us on the field. Not some on paper resume shit.

Glad we are not longer ranking teams like one might apply for a job.

"lost" is being exceedingly charitable my friend. i think tcu in '22 is the only thing you're looking down at.

also, if you are saying they had the same record going into the game, that's not right. bama had lost to manziel and notre was undefeated.

of course, notre had to vacate the entire season afterwards and ultimately finished 0-0.
