Beat Nebraska and gave a very underrated BC team a run for their money

I also meant predominately in the sense that the lergest demographics are white people in most neighborhoods, but the larger neighborhoods in the south side are almost entirely vacant of white people. It's a population density thing

Agree with that. Cisero shows how gangs in Chicago aren't neccesarily race related. Although things there aren't mostly Italian or Irish based

almost all of the "bad" areas in chicago are neighborhoods and not business areas similar to bankhead. you know when you are there. only area downtown that is sketchy is lower wacker and that too is almost exclusively residential. Also take everything forensic buzz takes into account with a...

no its higher in atlanta per capita then it is in chicago.

Unpopular opinion but ugas arrest rate relative to everyone else's comes from 5% personality characteristics and then 95% campus police department operating philosophies

I already answered. Their schedule and resume are better than all the others an drew on the field performance is better as verified by advanced stats. FSU is a better win than Rutgers. Or in short cuz Ohio state did last year

Yeah but then you account for the second loss and it's bad. Ohio states four best wins are better than bamas but every win after that favors albama. 7 bowl eligible wins is infinitely better than 5. but the whole point is that the second loss is inexcusable. You have to look at the entirety of...

If Wisconsin scheduled a p5 team OOC they would be in. Their division is too weak to rely on it.

Then just ignore espns metric then. Look at other people's strength of record like statics and you'll see everyone else comes to a similar confusion. Committee can ignore that ESPNs version of the statistic so can you

Person who made the list of team records included 6 win teams for Wisconsin and not Alabama. I was making sure the statistics were fair and intentionally unbiased

They can change it, but doesn't change the fact that other people have the same results. Which is why I just posted another source that has similar results. It's called data verification. No need to think it's faked if it can be verified to some degree elsewhere. Scientific method in action :)...

1. ESPN gets the average offenseive and defensive ranking for each team. Likely FPI. Its propietary information so its not public how they calculate it exactly, but they state what factors are involved on their website 2. ESPN goes through a teams schedule with location of game in mind and...

Takes into account the strength of schedule and the infield performance of the team and compares it to how a pretty good (average top 25 team) would do in it. Going 10-2 with 3 tough games and 9 very easy games is expected. It basically takes out outliers that distort SoS and normalizes it to a...

I originally had it so it was "team" and not just alabama but Ohio state and wisconsin both didn't play any teams with 6 wins, except Purdue, which was included in the original 3-1 rankings. If you include g5, wisconsin is 5-1, but Alabama is 7-1. Ohio moves to 5-2. But hey people trying to...

yeah but even with 6 wins alabama still would have the best resume of all the teams

im not the one arbitrarily choosing 7 wins.

6-5 outside the game is a winning record. 6 wins is also a very significant number for college football and its dumb to ignore it. College basketball seeding involves looking at how you played against top 50 and top 100 teams. They are rather arbitrary cutoffs but they are important cutoffs.

lol yes it is. If it makes a bowl its a winning record. They would be 6-5 in games against teams not named Alabama, which is a winning record.

its important because teams like south Florida who go 9-2 but not beat a single bowl elgible team get brought back to earth. Football doesn't have enough games to really do transsitive property like basketball can, so comparing schedules and results like that is a far better metric. Strength...
