Louisville's offense sucks.
-
They’re not according to the computer rankings. Before the week in Sagarin, Georgia was 3 and Bama 5 while SP+ has Georgia 2 and Bama 8.
-
His logic is a bit flawed because it’s not just those two results. One team in between them has already lost, a second didn’t even play in the conference title game (OSU, and we know the committee priorities winning your conference) and there might be a third that loses (FSU). So you’re not bridging the gap between 7 and 1 so much as you’re bridging the gap between 5 and 1. It will be a complete sham if FSU loses and Texas gets left out.
-
Not that you’re saying it would or could happen, but there’s no way Georgia gets in over Texas.
-
It really is. Especially since it was just two years ago that 11-1 Bama beat 12-0 Georgia and they both made the playoff.
-
Would only be two teams in this case though. For the above to be the case the committee would have to rank Georgia over Bama which is never going to happen.
-
Easy call for me but I seem to be in the minority in that thinking. From pure entertainment I hope FSU loses because I don’t think they’ll be as good without their QB. But if they win they should get in.
-
Been a pretty good game. Georgia burned about a minute there not being able to pick up a first down with less than a yard to go on 3 different occasions on that drive. Had to burn a timeout before the 4th down play too.

Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money

Maybe I don’t understand because I don’t make millions of dollars per year, but I don’t think I wouldn care about taxes at all in that case unless all else was equal about two places and I couldn’t decide. -
ManU was up 2-0 and 3-1 on Galatasaray but tied 3-3. That, combined with Copenhagen somehow getting a draw at Bayern Munich, means ManU needs to beat Bayern and hope Copenhagen-Galatasaray ends in a draw to advance. If there is a winner in that second game, that team moves on and ManU is out.
-
That’s the same as the line would be for a top FBS team playing any FCS team.
-
Iowa’s team total for the game is 6.5. I get it but it’s still hilarious to see.

Have they ignored H2H before where the resumes were this similar? In 2016 Penn St went 11-2, won the Big 10 and beat Ohio State by 3 at home. But they also lost to an 8-4 Pittsburgh and lost to Michigan 49-10. Ohio State also won at a 10-2 Oklahoma by 21. Those resumes are not that similar. I'm not sure if there were other instances but I remembered something along those lines happening and was able to look it up. It is the ultimate trump card for Texas. They went to Alabama and controlled that game. They trailed for just over a minute at a place that nobody ever wins. If you just lined up the games, Bama's probably got a better resume. But it's not so much better that we can just ignore H2H. It's not like Bama lost to a team from a non-power 5 where the conference slate doesn't match up.
-
All the undefeated are in with wins. So it would probably be Michigan, Washington and then Texas/FSU at 3 and 4 in some order. Sorry if it wasn’t clear what I meant it was in your first scenario.
-
Texas gets the 4th spot in that scenario.
-
Has Brandon Staley been fired yet?
-
There is precedent for that. The year after their title FSU had a ton of close wins but stayed undefeated. That team was ranked 3rd behind a pair of 1 loss teams.
-
Except this isn’t the transitive property. It would be two teams with similar resumes, both 12-1 and both conference champions. And one of them went to the other’s stadium and won convincingly. If it comes down to Texas or Bama, the choice should be very easy.
-
And Texas wouldn’t be? It’s not like we’re debating Bama vs any non OU/Texas Big 12 team here. I do understand the cynicism with Bama though. I think it’s more likely the committee finds a way to put them in over Oregon instead. Assuming both win, they’d both have a loss to a top-10 team, Bama would have 4 ranked wins while Oregon would only have 2. Of course the committee currently has Oregon ahead of Bama.
-
I mean I guess if Texas wins like a super ugly 2 point game and Bama demolishes Georgia then maybe. But the latter result seems very unlikely. And I don’t think Alabama has some crazy resume that puts them over the top.
-
So... -Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida St are all in with a win. -Oregon is probably the only 1-win team that's in with a win. -Texas probably needs two of the undefeated teams to lose or they need one to lose and Washington to beat Oregon. -If Bama wins they jump Georgia but you can't put Bama over a 1-loss Texas. Bama needs two of the non-Georgia teams above them to lose. -Ohio St would need Georgia, Oklahoma St and Louisville to all win. And maybe Washington too since that would eliminate the chance of two Pac-12 teams getting in. So we'd end up with Georgia, Michigan, Washington (or Oregon) and OSU.
-
That’s totally fair. I was just comparing the stats since Andy just mentioned another QB who was awful as a rookie but still become a star. More goes into it than just stats though Allen also had a sub 60% completion percentage in college so when he was at 52.8% as a rookie, there was a lot of bust talk with him.
-
Bryce Young currently has a better completion percentage, QB rating, TD to INT ratio and a lower interception percentage than Josh Allen did as a rookie.
-
Don’t forget about a 1 loss Texas. There’s no way they get left out at 12-1 if Bama goes 12-1 and gets in.

Playing off the old Tarkanian quote, the Premier League was so mad at Man City for breaching the profitability and sustainability rules that they docked Everton 10 points today.
