@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.

Vegas set the O/U at 8.5 back in March and 9 in July. If we end up at 10-2 we overperformed, regardless of whether we make the playoffs or not. And yet, many will still be unhappy.

I remain true to my Dark Years vow that I will never again allow 8 or 9 win seasons to steal my joy, and certainly not 10. In the end, it's a game, and a vanishingly small percentage of us are affected by it in tangible ways. In a world where tomorrow may be challenged by lunatics with nukes, just enjoy a few more weekends of college ball, and don't let your joy be stolen *IF* the Vols are left out of the playoffs.

Yup I think the juice was towards 9 wins, which I thought was the sweet spot. My simulator had us at 8.9 wins.

We've both overperformed so far and NC St and OU ended up a bit worse than expected. FL is on par imo, Arky a bit better than expected.

10 wins is absolutely amazing. Something we only dreamt of for 15 years and here we are on the brink of 10-11+ in 2 out of 3 years (9 wins the "down year" lol)
