Yup which of course is nuts (changing based on elections) but it is what it is!

Back to the NLRB ruling which said the players were in effect school employees therefore it’s now heading to the full NLRB and no doubt to Federal Court.

Winning those games would clearly help the ACC's perception. In past the ACC has not won enough of the major games between the two conferences. Last year's Louisville loss to Kentucky significantly hurt the SEC perception.

I believe you are conflating the legal issue regarding the athletes as employees which the courts will make the final decision on with employer-union negotiations. If the courts do rule the athletes are in fact employees than Dartmouth has no option but to negotiate with them thru collective...

Comparing the MAC to the B1G is laughable. They are in no way equals. Why should they be treated as equals? MAC teams play road games to fund their athletic departments. The B1G does no such thing, Historically they are B1G 317. MAC 54. If you get to the upper tier of the B1G it is much...

Why do you think there will be a strike. Negations often take place without a strike. The courts will clearly have a say in this before all is said and done.

You nailed it!

The biggest issue with "only the conference champion" is with these huge conferences 16-18 teams getting a true Conference Champion is not much more reliable than saying the CFP Champion isn't a National Champion. The Conference Champion Games can now have 2 teams that have as few as 3 common...

Incentive more than pressure! :unsure:

Any GT win is worth having one of us not watch until the replay :ROFLMAO: :p ! Guess that answers your question!

We have become a solid 3 point defensive team in Conference play, 6th best in Conference games. We have also become a solid rebounding team in Conference games, also 6th best in the Conference. Our biggest liability is turnovers as we are the worst in the Conference by over 1 per game more than...

A 32 game regular season plus Conference tournaments give a much greater sample size. Still there are tons of critics of the old RPI and current NET. Per analytics the ACC is about the 6 best basketball conference. Either the ACC really sucks now or there are serious issues with NET analytics.

Of course actually watching the teams play and studying their film is better yet. Analytics comparison between Liberty and Washington State is fairly useless.

Because Polls were a BS way to determine a champion. There is no way to determine one with 130 FBS teams and a 12 game schedule. It always has been opinion based. Picking 12 or 14 teams to compete injects less opinion. It does solve much of the Bowl problem. Of course our opinions matter ZERO!

True. My issue is with the people who fall on their swords that such analytics are the proper way to rank teams. Many simply take analytics too far as team vs team comparison. For internal use and scouting purposes they are excellent tools.

College Football has never had a method to determine a true National Champion. The revised CFP simply gives more teams an opportunity to win the CFP. With Conference sizes between 16 and 18 teams and at most teams playing 9 conference games claiming to be a conference champion is no more valid...

While the 2nd example looks better in terms of "analytics", both teams gave up the same amount of points. Points are what matters! Sometimes analytics are not as meaningful as actual results.

Seems to me BC or Miami are the most favorable matchups for GT in the first round ACCT Game. ND has won 5 of their last 6 games. Beat us 2 times. I will pass on playing them in round 1. We have two tough road games left. Wake is15-0 at home and UVA is 14-2 at home. Winning either would be...

With this team winning the first game will be hard. We are simply an inconsistent team that can play very well or very poorly. There are no ACC teams where we can simply say we are a much better team. If we play really hard for the full 40 minutes we have a chance to win any g as me. If we...

Good stuff. I really like how several guys took their man off the dribble and got into the paint or basket as FSU was way out overplaying 3 point shot defense. Reeves some really important drives early in the game. As you said, tone setters.
