Lol...see this is the amazing expertise I'm accustomed from you. A pass being incomplete doesn't mean it's the wrong decision. A guy being open elsewhere doesn't mean it was a miss. I blame announcers for your ignorance here. You have no clue what you're talking about

SEC bloodbath

I don't disagree with anything that you stated in your post but.....

....if you research who was the College Football National Champion over the past 20 years, you will find that 14 of those champions came from one conference. The SEC.

I know that the system has been somewhat convoluted in determining who has earned the right to participate in the process. But those are the official results and they affect how people formulate their opinions.

There is a remedy, and it begins this playoff season.

I knew somebody would go there.

Well the SEC has been represented in the championship game (over other teams with the same record) all but 3 times in those 20 years. So all but 3 times in the last 20 years they've had a minimum a 50% chance to with the title....Mainly controlled by narrative and optics prior to the playoff.
Additionally, 3 of those 20 times, they played themselves, so they had a 100% chance to win the championship.

As I said, when the SEC is down, its because its so deep, when an SEC team is dominant in the conference it's because they're the greatest team ever, not the fact that the rest of the conference isn't great.
People blah, blah, blah, the SEC about how many NFL players they have and whatnot, well, look outside of LSU, Georgia & Bama and you'll find the rest produce at a regular or below average rate. It's a top heavy conference, that is given more respect than it deserves because they build up these two or three matchups a year.
If the the B1G had produced more top quality games between their big 3 it wouldn't be much different, however the B1G has failed in that regard because of their inter-division bullshit that pitted the top 3 against each other in season. Let's face it OSU/Michigan hasn't been all that competitive the last 20 years, one team has dominated the other and you can say the same about throwing PSU in that mix. That doesn't help the conference. It changes sentiment, especially for all the all-knowing media, who was literally determining who plays for the title for the vast majority of the life of college football.

It's a.recruiting criterion, for starters and for depth guys.

And you see it all the time -- no match is too big for the guys. Marco Vespa attacked Spencer Lee.

Allar had better odds of winning 2 weeks ago but the order is Warren Allar and Singleton. Warren would be impossible to replace.

Totally agree. All three are great players and hyper critical to the team’s success. But you’ll see a lot of good QB’s and RB’s come and go. I doubt we’ll ever see another Tyler Warren.

My maga walk of triumph is today

Marylovesthelions
It's 3.2 miles around the outer loop for Lakes of Mt Dora. There were many Biden signs along the way. Today, I found my red Maga hat from 2016 and I will wear it as I walk the loop.
For people my age the political world is upended. Working class by Ave switched to Republicans and upper middle class, college educated have switched to Democrats.
AND, a high percentage of students are rejecting the left wing bullshit preached by their teachers.

Purdue FW just put up 87 against a fair Drexel team. Fordom is a decent team and we will learn how good when they face San Fran today, so the overall defense isn't bad. The part that worries me is giving up too many second chances.

Yes Neither Hicks nor Puff is not a tough, mix it up rebounder so their size at the 3/4 is negated a bit by that. Kern and Dillione do hit the glass well so that helps, but going to need all five on the glass today

Truthfully, the NCAA will propose that all of the initial proponents of cheating are now gone,

You know what you can do with your FELLING's....

😀 Maybe the plan is to punish all of the directional Michigan teams until that program in Ann Arbor has learned a lesson.

There is a rumor going around that they are going to make the Northern Michigan Wildcats forfeit all of their wins this year to further punish the Wolverines.....

My head hurts...he had man coverage across the field. Warren wasn't doubled. Warren was his first read. He had pressure and got the ball, correctly, to his first read for a contested catch. A no deep safety look doesn't mean you target the middle. You target the best player against man. We have one guy capable of consistently meeting man.

I think you really believe that there is a number which proves your stance, but there really isn't. If you're an "eye test" kind of guy, then to each his own, but you might want to get some glasses.

Singleton has outplayed Allen this year but the design of the offense also favors him
Allen was the better back last year
Stats never tell the full story but if AK insists on using Allen on this slow developing plays his ability to be successful will be hindered. Just like Singleton rarely breaks any long runs despite his speed because his vision is lacking.
Both are very good backs and are needed for us to be successful but the play calling has to do a better job of allowing them to succeed
AK is an improvement over last year but there's still many issues with our play calling.

1 of 11 on third down

tboyer said:
That was maybe the most stunning stat of the year for me. And they won the game, incredible.

I know a lot of players contributed to that masterpiece of a stat, but Coach K deserves the most blame.

Whatever Kotelnicki makes in bonus this year, he should have to pay some of it back for yesterday. His worst game of the year after Ohio State.
Click to expand...
Agree. Worst play calling for the year. We had 3rd and 9, and Allar throws a 4 yard out route to Warren which resulted in 4th and 5. Allar is obsessed with Warren and should be for his abilities, but there have been more open WR's during those throws to Warren.

That fade route o Warren in the end zone that went incomplete, the entire middle of the field was wide open. I couldn't even see a LB, and Allar saw this easily from the shotgun.

I see you like using the "eye-test" for seeding. I prefer a predetermined set of rules. Unfortunately, the rules we have still rely on "voting" but they are the best we have at this point. In most years, I would expect that the four P4 champions would be given the bye's, but that isn't part of the rule. I'd much prefer a sixteen team playoff, with 8 conference champions being seeded 1–8, and the 2nd place conference teams being seeded 8–9, but I'll have to wait for that to happen some day.
Click to expand...
That will never happen because it's completely illogical. This requires one to believe all conferences are even. They aren't. That's not an eye test. That's reality.

What are you talking about? You all believe there's always someone open as though a QB is reading all 5 routes instantly. Warren was the first read. There was pressure. He did nothing wrong there.
Even during NFL games announcers love to say X was wide open. Typically the aren't open for starters as the announcer can't read coverage but when they are it wasn't a presnap mistake or the read.

When the B1G beats up on itself and blows out Kent State & Elon, the conference is weak and they didn't play anyone.
When the SEC beats up on itself and blows out Florida A&M & Wafford, the conference is deep and they need the cupcake thrown in for reprieve from the difficult schedule.
Interesting how narratives can be defined so differently. Welcome to the world where one media base is critical of their teams, while the other media base are cheerleaders for their teams.
Say it enough and they'll believe it.

Playoff question for the board

johnmpsu said:
Using your example, why should a USC team that has demonstrated that it's not as good as the numbers 1, 2 and 6 teams even get an opportunity to play for a so called national championship? Why should those number 1, 2 and 6 teams potentially have to beat that USC team again?
Click to expand...
Losing to a team doesn't "demonstrate" that you aren't as good. The better team doesn't always win.
One game doesn't prove anything which is why they would have to
