Recruiting Football Talk VIII

It would still be “homers and nobodies” deciding who’s in and who’s out.

A significant portion of the BCS was subjective human polls.

Ok well I’m saying no votes, no polls. All metrics based. W/L, Sos, off/def eff, etc etc

BYU all blue and Utah all red uniforms look so good.

 

[Orange.]

I really disliked the long discussion by the announcers about the possibility of Tennessee missing the cut because Nico might be out / injured player. It's just bs. First, they don't know he's out. Second, they don't know we don't beat Georgia anyway.

But, third, and most important by far: They are encouraging what I have always resisted. Fans as a result are incentivized to root for other teams' players (not just to lose) but to be seriously injured. Are we supposed to root for an injury to Milroe? Is that what they want? I'd rather just beat him like we already did.

Dems vs Republicans

That Bama win is looking better and better

Dabo, Beamer, & Drink walk into a bar. I punch all three in the neck.

I’m a woman and sure I could take all three in a street fight and that’s not even a joke. Prior military and had a Navy Seal as a roommate. Pretty confident.

I know we're all concerned about Nico , but 8-1 feels good, man.

Except BYU looks like Kenturkey

You’d get some funky inclusions.

Utah!!!

 

[Ten_Titans]

If anybody has any backwoods, voodoo, high risk high reward cures for a concussion, please send them to to Nico with any relevant shopping lists. This is the only exception to the rule of never messaging players on Twitter.

Dems vs Republicans

We know the winner already

 

[Go Fight Win]

Utah game gooood

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The good news, defense won’t be sleepwalking going into Athens.

And both defenses worth a spit Georgia faced they lost. No clue HOW they beat Texas.

 

[Ten_Titans]

You’d get some funky inclusions.

And the SEC getting completely shafted.

Here's the thing about "committee bias". Are their some teams that could hypothetically be favored over us on bias and off-field influences? Yes. Are there way more teams that we would be picked over based on bias and off-field influences. Also yes.

Networks with a narrative. It’s how these selections play out.

I’ve said my piece about prior playoff selections. Watch how Bama gets so much love even though we beat them.

Everybody can beat everybody on the right weekend. Not usually true but definitely true this year.

We have three straight years with 8 wins (going to be at least 9) since 1999.
