re: Unpopular Opinion - BK Is Better Off Without Underwood

This is actually probably true. They also now have a lot of NIL free to pursue a top transfer with a better chance to compete at a high level immediately....

re: Strength of Record Metrics Averages vs CFP Poll - Georgia screwed, ND most favored
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/21/24 at 4:24 pm
People are way too dialed in on Indiana. At least Indiana is undefeated. The rankings of ND and Miami are actually insane, and PSU to a lesser degree also has a seriously underwhelming resume....

[quote]Different perspectives, of course. But as an SC fan, I'd be thrilled to get in and go frick up IU or PSU on their home field. Prove that we belong, and more importantly, that they don't. Knowing crazy Carolina fans, they'd try to take over the stadium (like y'all did at ND a few years back)....

I think a key piece of the rankings is that the committee is still treating wins over Michigan as significant. Their ranking of Texas and the Big 10 schools is largely dependent on that assumption, and that assumption is clearly prone to the bias coming from the commissioner of the CFP committee....

re: The CFP Committee seems lazy
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/20/24 at 1:51 pm
I think I can make a more rational case for something like the ranking below than anything the committee has put forth:
Oregon
OSU
Indiana - temporarily. Getting the feeling they’re going to get railed by OSU.
Alabama
OM
UGA
Tennessee
Texas
Penn State
ND
A&M
Miami
Boise
BYU
SMU

re: Why is Texas bad for its schedule yet Georgia had an easier one over the past few seasons?
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/20/24 at 7:28 am
By this point last season, UGA had wins over Missouri, Tennessee, and Ole Miss. Texas has nothing like that on its resume....

[quote]Or is your issue with the teams that have fewer losses that are ranked ahead of you?[/quote]
This is the actual issue and where the SOS argument is the most relevant. Does anyone alive think UGA (or Bama or OM or Tenn) would have more than one loss with Texas, PSU, ND, or Miami’s schedule? O...

[quote]Doesnt help that Clemson is shite this year. They got their arse kicked by Louisville and they should have lost to Pitt last weekend. The last minute of that game was one of the biggest bed shites of the season. Clemson got go ahead score in about 20 seconds. Pitt then got down to the ~30 y...
re: I feel sick watching these committee rankings
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/20/24 at 6:20 am
I mean with the exception of OSU, who to their credit has played both Oregon and PSU and is playing Indiana this weekend, the relative rankings of teams in the Big 10 and SEC is more a result of unbalanced conference schedules than actual team strength or resume. ...
re: I feel sick watching these committee rankings
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/20/24 at 5:22 am
If the tournament started today, seeds 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 would have a combined zero wins over realistic playoff contenders thru late November. The 8 seed has a loss to a mediocre G5 team.
Georgia should be cancelling all P5 OOC games moving forward. There is apparently no incentive to schedule ch...

[quote]But its not our fault that teams that traditionally play well are now playing like shite.[/quote]
It’s not Texas’ fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that if Texas loses to A&M, their ability to beat a playoff-level opponent would be unproven. It would be very questionable to include them...

All the talk on this board is about UGA vs OM vs UA vs Texas vs Bama vs Tenn. IMO the real discussion is whether PSU, Miami, or the OSU/Indiana loser should be ranked below them all....

[quote]Idk how the committee will look at it, but this would be argument for Texas, assuming all teams win out.[/quote]
That is a very weak argument. Neither UTs will have great resumes, but beating unranked teams by 21 vs 14 isn’t going to make a difference. At least it shouldn’t.
OM has two wi...

They don’t really, but I don’t think the committee will want to be seen as punishing a CG loser. Optics would be bad....

re: Who Gets In Under This Scenario?
Posted by Crowknowsbest on 11/18/24 at 2:25 pm
Texas would clearly be out imo. A&M would have an auto bid. Beyond those two, I think OM and UGA would feel pretty good about things. Tennessee and Bama likely sweating out selection Sunday and hoping for chaos in other conferences. Of those two, I think Bama would have a slightly better case than T...
