Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Bama win is doing the most work for us.

I even think we would have been better off with wins over Bama and UGA, and losses to OU and Ark

Kinda like Ole Miss

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hmm thanks.

I was talking about the posts we made in the Recruiting Forum thread specifically. I think that 10-3 to 11-2 spread accurately covers how most felt, though.

Someone should do a RF preseason prediction pole like that

Well they are playing for a spot in the national championship, not for the championship.


To your point, there isn't 64 teams in basketball deserving of playing for the national Championship.

FCS has 24 team playoff system so why can't FBS have one?

Bowl games I presume.

I'm for all of this.

Auto bids and byes are stupid. But keep round 1 home games. Your reward for a great season is only having to play #16 at home.

I think it'd be awesome.

it also rewards the community

your fans and local businesses should get another week of big time football if you've played well. the reward is more money for the local businesses and the university

I havent called out the Oline?

Buddy.

That should be the first thing mentioned each time Jack, no excuse for that Georgia game. The interior played their worst game all year and that shouldn’t happen with upperclassmen

YALL SHOULD HAVE KNOWN PLAYOFFS WERE A LONG SHOT WHEN THEY LOST TO ARKANSAS!!!

We were #6 in Nielsen Ratings last year and it wasn’t even a good year. We were over Oregon, Penn State, Texas and Notre Dame. We get viewers.

I wasn't saying we didn't get viewers just that we are much more regional than those other teams. In the Southeast and with serious college football fans we are big whether they love or hate us. But with the casuals we are not an attention grabber, particularly with yankees, who care mostly about NFL Football. Unless we are playing their team people in Ohio probably aren't watching us.
When it is a big national game like the Superbowl or the CFB Playoff, tv is looking for a national audience.

 

[rikberry31]

We rated higher than Texas on Nielsen ratings last year though. But the conversation is more about us and other “bubble” SEC teams vs the BIG 10 people they got up there. The only one ranked higher than us that had a higher Nielsen Rating last year was OSU. We were rated higher than Penn State and Oregon and for damn sure over Indiana and this was for nationwide viewership.

We are a regional franchise. Think the Buffalo Bills, they are very popular in their region and a have fanatical following but the Dallas Cowboys are a national franchise.

Kent’s also played better competition. UTEP has no running back. The guy they have now runs a 4.7 40. I’d bet my house we win by 60+

I hope you’re right.
But our offense has been so inept lately.

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

How much money do you normally spend on tail?

He better be careful or he'll get busted which could send him into a serious tailspin.

Language but LeBron is right

Glen Ellarbee. Our offense was meant to run tempo. OL talent is nowhere near where it needs to be. Bigger indictment is play calling. I havent been impressed with Halzle this year.

I used to do poles like that on this site.
Butt I went too deep once and had to stop poleing.

Poll and pole.
They are not the same.

@jave36 had a great point.

They're allowing subjectivity and human biases to mar what could be so easily fixed by allowing a third party, or more specifically an algorithm to choose based on a set of defined rules. Its really simple math.

Agree 100%...Michigan's AD is trying to make it seem like the Big Ten is a stronger conference. Only viable reason to have 4 of them in the top 5. I'd agree with having Oregon and OSU there, the rest need to kick rocks.

One time I conducted a Poll on getting Poled and there was a big turnout of individuals voted.
