Auto Bids for specific conferences is just dumb. I mean really dumb.

Unless your goal is “equity” amongst the conferences, then it makes sense - and that would also be dumb.

The goal should be to assemble the best field possible. Not some misplaced attempt at “fairness”. That’s garbage.

I could potentially get on board with some spots for “highest ranked” conference champs. Maybe. But that’s ALL conferences.

If the Sun Belt champ outranks the Big12 champ - then too bad, Kansas.

that is how it currently is- once it expands to 12 it will be the 6 highest conference champs + 6 at large bids. Except they’re trying to change it to 5 higher conference champs + 7 at large bids since they killed the PAC-12

This is very interesting. I’m not a gambler, but if I’m reading this correct, 71% of the money has taken SC and the 11.5 points, which would usually drive the line down lower. However, the line has increased a half point. Someone talked about this a long time ago on here, and it usually means Vegas is extremely confident in us to win big to allow the line to stay the same or go the opposite direction of who the most money is being bet on.

It's hard to tell if that is 71% of money or 71% of bets.

If bets, then the spread doesn't need to move necessarily.

If money, then yeah it should.

And if it's 71% of bets and the line isn't moving, then also suggesting the bigger bets are on us. The reverse of the UF game. Iirc we had the majority of bets, but UF had the money, indicating the sharp money was going towards them.

Either way you look at it, seems good for us.

It's been a week at work - I'm ready to see a throttling on Saturday. I want to see the chickens in tears begging for it to stop.

Same.

At this point I'm actually hoping the UAW strikes expand so I can take some time off work 😅

Please let us pound some *** this weekend! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Agreed
Accuracy down the field needs to be better. He has been on the money with a few of his throws this year though. The missed TD to Squirrel last week over the middle was a big pile of $hit. Aint gonna lie!

He definitely needs to be better on some throws but the receivers have to help him out as well. There has been some bad receiver play too. Would be real nice to see one of those deep shots to Squirrel drop in this wkd

Sure hope you’re not saying you hope we hurt Rattler

Hit him hard. Hit him repeatedly. Plant his butt in the grass until it looks like he borrowed Cade Klubnik’s jersey.

Until he’s hurting so much he can hardly go back in. Until the medical staff has reservations about allowing him back in.

But no, you don’t want to injure anyone.

How many times before you present a coherent argument? As opposed to throwing out wild red herrings like “the Giants were an NFL team that got hot - so the NCAA should have auto bids for conference champions!”

‘07 Tennessee would not have needed an auto bid. They were #15 going into the game, and would have been 10-3 SEC Champs coming off a title game win vs #5 - they’re in regardless.

And since you two keep throwing out Tennessee scenarios that aren’t applicable, I’ll throw one out that is - Tennessee in ‘01 would have been jeopardized (depending on playoff format size) by auto bids for inferior teams that won a crappy conference.

View attachment 582976Offensive Beta_Rank | Sharp CFB

Thought this site was cool. Not sure how accurate but looks right. Someone posted a stat about offensive passing explosiveness. With running included, we are #2 in the SEC and #7 in the country in explosiveness. Using advanced statistics, we are #4 nationally in overall offensive scoring. #7 nationally in drive efficiency, #1 in play efficiency, #9 in negative drive rank, #19 in schedule rank, #2 in rushing rank, #44 in pass rank.

Interesting. It goes back to 2012 and lets you rank not just this year or a single year but also all years together. . Last years UGA team has the most efficient offense of the past 11 years.

Of the top 50 offensive beta_ranks of the last 11 years, UT has 3 teams in the top 50. 2022 was the highest at 18th, then 2021 at 43rd and this year at 45th so far.

AKA, Heupel is a genius.
