Stetson Bennet was at UGA 5 years and didn't graduate. Does it really matter how many transferable credits the player has if it doesn't matter if they are on track to graduate anyways?

Pretty sure Vegas would favor UGA over all the top 4. The CFP also ranked FSU over UGA. There is no internal consistency, that's how it's obvious the whole thing was rigged.

TCU had to beat Michigan to even be in that game. Are you actually implying that TCU shouldn't have been there? uga beat the pants off almost everyone they played but OSU last year. Claiming anything about TCU being a reason for snubbing FSU is weird when they were clearly deserving of being there.

I couldn't find it in a quick search, but I read an article a couple of years ago about the gentrification of American football. It essentially talked about how the shift in getting kids into elite camps early and with paid personal coaches is leading to a shift in the overall affluence of...

Explain away real results with conjecture, and throw out other supporting evidence, got it.

Lol. I like that one.

Those are rare because those were FCS. GT was a 20 point underdog and beat Miami. >20 point underdog NMSU beat the pants of Auburn Bowling Green was 20 point dog and beat us. These are just off the top of my head this year. Would I pick Liberty to beat Alabama this year? No. Do I think an...

You put a whole lot of **** in my mouth that I didn't say. I read an interview with a retired professional football referee a couple years ago. He did not say that refs ever targeted specific teams or ever set out to sway games. He did specifically say tey would discuss how physical they would...

This is how it actually works and is not a theory, fyi.

Yeah, App State could never beat Michigan, so I am glad they didn't play the game and just counted it as a win for Michigan. Future ACC champion VT couldn't possibly lose to JMU. And these were legit top 25 teams playing FCS. We are talking about allowing a 13-0 FBS conference champion to have...

Yes, you've made it clear you don't care FSU was left out. You aren't the only one with that opinion. I didn't watch the Alabama LSU rematch, and I don't feel like I missed anything. I will not watch this year's playoffs, and I know I won't miss anything. I certainly don't think less of anyone...

Why is this okay in NCAA basketball but is scoffed at for football? Who tunes out of the ncaa basketball tourney because they allow weak teams in. The tourney brand is obviously not suffering over it, and cinderella stories are what drive a lot of the narrative.

They should be. You are finally thinking correctly.

People refused to watch the Bama LSU rematch leading to the lowest ever watched BCS championship: https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2012/01/bcs-alabamalsu-title-game-earns-lowest-overnight-ever . This was one of the main reasons they changed behavior and added a playoff. There have already been...

Heck, a lot of those 16 seeds historically wouldn’t be ranked in the top 100, and I still think they deserve a chance to play in the NCAA tourney. It’s the same reason I think all champions deserve a shot in football. Just like baseball, we can let the regular season be about determining the...

I know I am in the minority on this, but I strongly believe in a 16 team playoff with all conference champs. I don't see why Liberty doesn't deserve a shot. In my view, no undefeated team should ever miss a chance. Even if it is unlikely, a 16th seed in the NCAA can win out and be national...

Was Elko a good fit when he went to Duke? Both coaches seem to be similar. It also makes some sense because Duke is already good defensively, so bringing in a good defensive minded coach to take over a team with a strength of defense should work out. I was hoping PSU would throw HC money at...

I am not saying MOV is all that is required to generate the best predictors, but a predictor using MOV is stronger than a predictor that only uses win/loss. I don't even think a "predictor" is what should be used for defining a poll (it's just all I have since the BCS polls stopped producing...

Pretty sure this is a problem in soccer. Team gets relegated and players leave: https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/seven-players-leave-leicester-city-after-relegation-2023-06-05/. It still works for soccer, but maybe it is a cultural thing. I do not think relegation can be added to football...
