I remember their second-to-last lost and feeling so frustrated during it. Little did I know that they'd go on this ridiculous streak immediately afterwards! I love this team!
I always thought it was weird. I thought they gave up on Herman too fast, especially to hire Sark. Not that I think he's terrible, it just all seemed kinda odd from the start.
Also, I wasn't trying to make a prediction in how the CCG's would play out. Just trying to think of the strangest outcomes each conference still had that was possible, at least. And then predict what would've happened if all those scenarios played out. I should've probably put Notre Dame in the...
Yep. For the most part this year they've played chumps and still not won by much in most those games. After today, I hope for Mel Tucker's sake that he's already signed this contract! Lol
Again, I agree that that should be more of the standard. But again it should definitely not be the only thing. But my main original point is how he was using the peak-rankings for OSU's opponents (not when they played them or their current rankings), but for Georgia's opponents he was only...
It is absolutely more fair. But it shouldn't be the ONLY thing that matters. A team could legitimately have changed some from the time a team played them earlier to the end of the year. I guess I mis-worded it in my original post. I just meant it shouldn't be all that matters.
Isn't it funny how he mentions the OSU opponents at their peak ranking, whether that's when they played them or not. But Georgia playing three top-11 teams at the time they played and another at #18 doesn't count. I understand the rankings at the time they play isn't always the fairest, but only...
Usually when it gets late in the season I like to imagine the strangest possible scenarios that are still at least somewhat-realistic and wonder how that would play out. So imagine if the following happens:
Alabama beats Georgia in SEC Championship.
Wake Forest beats Pitt in ACC Championship...
There's also plenty more cases over the last 15 years that prove the SEC conference really was the best one. If you're just trying to say that because they have made mistakes here and there mean the SEC isn't legit then that's just silly. If I remember correctly Indiana (Big Ten), Iowa State...
If you're gonna go to 16 teams for the playoffs then just simply give every conference champion an automatic bid. That would give every team a flat-out change to win the whole thing.
I'm not saying SOS of schedule is the ONLY thing that matters. There are absolutely other factors that need to be considered. But the fact remains that playing a harder schedule should indeed allow for more closer games and/or probably one additional loss over a weaker schedule, unless the SOS...
Emphasizing SOS for teams encourages the teams to schedule more P5-vs-P5 games OOC. So the committee needs to continue to emphasize the strength of schedule if we want more of this. Also if they expand the playoff to too many teams it will start to take away the incentive to schedule strong SOS...
What are the best/worst/most interesting spreads in College Football this week? I've really started paying a lot closer attention to the spreads/lines in the last couple weeks and wanted to see what everyone else thought?
