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.

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.

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.

"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.

December 10, 20241 yr Matt Hayes: College Football Playoff 'furious' and will investigate leak of SMU edging Alabama for last spot Quote LAS VEGAS - The first 12-team College Football Playoff resulted in the first leak of a team chosen for the field. “I was furious,” CFP director Rich Clark said Tuesday to USA TODAY Sports. “I told all involved, you’ve betrayed the process.” Brett McMurphy of the Action Network posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that SMU would be given the final at-large spot ahead of Alabama - 30 minutes before the Mustangs was revealed as the 11th seed in the playoff The debate was the biggest decision by the 13-member selection committee, and created controversy before and after the selection. Never in the history of the College Football Playoff had a leak occurred, and Clark says there will be an investigation to determine how the information was leaked. “There are only a certain number of people who know,” Clark said. “ I know one thing, it wasn’t me. There’s the selection committee, ESPN and our staff. Someone in that group (is the leak).” But finding who released the information will be a difficult process. Clark said he heard about the leak from his son Milo, who sent him a text prior to the release of SMU has the last team in. “He said, ‘Dad, what happened?’ I had no idea what he was talking about until I saw it,” Clark said. Clark was speaking Tuesday at the Sports Business Journal Intercollegiate athletics forum. On the big stage, he spoke about the process of how the committee reached its decision, including revealing that the committee will send ideas to the conference commissioner on how to make the playoff better. Those ideas, however, don’t include absolute transparency. In other words, the specific weekly votes, by committee member, shouldn’t be revealed. Clark also believes the playoff should have multiple rankings shows, not just one show to announce the rankings. “We have to have enough (playoff shows) for transparency,” Clark said. “If we go just the last week, there's too much mystery to that. If we take it away and put one ranking out there, I think that's a big mistake."

December 11, 20241 yr Nick saban was right, smu should not have been punished for losing the game instead it should have been a play-in game. The rankings were flawed to begin with.
December 11, 20241 yr Bama and Georgia doing all this whining about their schedule, apart from each other the big game on their schedule was Tennessee. In shaggys preseason playoff predictions, exactly one poster picked Tennessee to make the playoffs. It was me. And I don't even think Tennessee is that tough. They had an easy schedule making them look good
