The Atlanta Braves Thread

Was trying to talk myself into Indiana being in the CFP then I looked at their schedule… it’s weaker than well water. If they don’t beat tOSU next week there is absolutely no way you can justify them being in.

Whole conference is weak. Easy to have 4 top 5 when they are all 20 point favorites every game

No idea how real any of this is.

It is a good story, but my goodness, their schedule is softer than my 7 month old's poop. They've beaten just one team with a winning record (5-4 Nebraska). They somehow escaped playing Oregon and Penn St, but also avoided Iowa or Minnesota (who aren't great either but at least have winning records).

Even if they lose a really close game to Ohio St, there's no way they should get in unless they automatically qualify.

They're not the only one, but this is a correct take.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Penn St schedule is just as bad. Their best win is Illinois.

I like to hate on ND, but they are probably in the top half of the field.
Their loss is horrible, but they've got 2 solid wins and have destroyed bad teams like a good team should.

One above was 2850

If Lions and Texans had gone to OT, had a +4391 that most likely would have hit. The story of my life.

Happy Veterans Day @GreatWhiteNorth and anyone else who served

Thank you brother. An honor and privilege to serve.

At least you're getting close.
I can't get a big one to have any life for anything right now.

My entire college football watching life, which is greater than 20 years, I was told head to head trumped all. No matter what happened, if you played against each other and one team won, the team that won (assuming same record) would be ranked higher than the team they beat.

Except for some reason college football heads think Alabama should be ranked above us

You see how he dodges the question in the answer.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

But also how the national media agrees with me that everybody sucks now.

You’re all welcome to be wrong

 

[Wickman]

7 2-loss SEC teams mean a lot of good, no dominant. Far from “sucks”

He is projecting the rest of the season

ie a loss to Georgia

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Nope.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hes basically using the same theory that got Bama in last year

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So the more important question.

TN or Ole Miss

And even still, Tennessee should get in over Ole Miss or Alabama.

His response to me asking about ND lol

If I’m being honest and taking my orange tinted glasses off, I’d take have to take Ole Miss.

 

[LotteryPick]

If Alabama is in the race, they're in. Wins over UGA, South Carolina, Mizzou and LSU are more impressive than our resume, even if we beat them.

I'm not a "Talking Head doesn't like us guy," but I think Bud Elliott has something against Tennessee. I don't think I've ever heard him say a positive thing about any Tennessee team or player. When we were bad he was always real quick to point out that we're bad, and now that we're better/good it is like it pains him to say anything good about us. Which is interesting, because I do enjoy hearing his takes about the sport generally speaking.

That’s just not true
