Recruiting Football Talk VIII

The entire state of Montana inspires noninspiration.

Gonna need some need Chicago circa ‘84 at halftime.

There is no way a 1 loss team is 13th. Do you have a link to the BCS model rankings? Or just one of the many algorithms they used back then?

BCS website has us the same as CFP. The only difference was UGA and Ole Miss were swapped.

2nd picture is the computers. Still 4 spots lower than even modern analytics tend to have us (9th). Not sure we'd want BCS computer models this season deciding things lol.

Even a 50/50 weighting between the committee and BCS algos this year and we'd be in a bad spot.

Good Lord this is so freaking simple.

24 Teams:

9 Conference Champions get in

15 at-large bids.

If schools complain that the Sun Belt doesn't belong......Tough. Switch conferences or get better.

How about no automatic bids and the top 24 teams in the rankings get in. Why do you want Group of Five teams in? Fake equality? Nobody wants to see September games in January. What logic is there in having a MAC team getting boat raced in the playoffs after getting boat raced in September by the same team?

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

If UT wins out the regular season, a first round bye (pending sec title win) or a first round home game is virtually guaranteed.

The sweet spot would be not playing in Atlanta and still drawing a 5 or 6 seed in the CFP.

Despite the spectacle of seeing a home playoff game at Neyland you want the bye. No reason to sweat a potential loss or injury to a key player by playing a game against even a Boise State. And if you don't get the 5 spot it would mean facing a team like Ole Miss in the first round. Give me the bye any day over playing a 10 win SEC team.

Then get them out of FBS and form a 35-45 team league .

Schools better hope they are invited to the “new league.”

The only way to get the bye is to play the SECCG. You play an additional game either way.

Do they know that Michigan and Utah are barely 500 this year? Wouldn’t call those big wins, not even good wins.

Who has Texas beaten to be ranked this high? This same Texas team has zero Top 25 wins and was boat raced at home by UGA. What am I missing?

I could have sworn Chaz Lanier was Rob Lanier’s son, but apparently there is no relation

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Bishop out
Nico, Donte questionable

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Then just pencil every team in before the season begins. Skip the regular season. No need to actually play football.

So it's either go by record and use zero context or play no games? You need to go to extremes rather than exercising common sense?

Look at it this way. As a Tennessee fan who would you rather see in the playoffs? Indiana or Alabama for a second time? I'd take playing Indiana on the road in a heartbeat over having to see Alabama again at Neyland. And I'm sure most fans would agree with that sentiment. So is that how you want the playoffs to be determined? The better team gets left out because a lesser team had better luck when it comes to scheduling? If it's Alabama getting screwed I'm sure none or us would care. But what if it's us getting screwed out of the playoffs at 10-2 in favor of a 11-1 Indiana team with that joke of schedule. Would you be fine with that?

 

[JCVol00]

Of course Nico is “questionable”, we should’ve known Heup wouldn’t give an answer this soon

 

[MattR11]

Questionable. No bueno let the panic begin.

 

[rockytop25]

Nico and Donte listed as questionable

What’s Bishops injury?

 

[JCVol00]

We wont know til friday tbh, if he gets upgraded to probable then he will play, if he is still doubtful or questionable then he wont

 

[Adam Sandler]

See if the reasoning for not moving us up sounds anything like UGA's for moving down.....

I’m convinced these committee people don’t even watch football.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

What’s Bishops injury?

Over Gold

(hip I think)

 

[TheBigOne10]

Man I love Desean Bishop. He would have been perfect in a physical game like this getting those tough yards. Need Lewis to keep pounding the rock.

 

[Volnukem]

Right now Georgia has to prepare for both. No reason to make it easier on them by declaring Nico good to go or out.
