Special Ed Conference

[AE 87]

With MSST surviving against MIAMI OH via the blocked FG, VANDY losing handily to another ACC foe in NCST, and BC beating MARYLAND, the numbers look like this:
vs NON PWR 5: SEC 22-5, ACC 16-5
vs FCS: SEC 11-0, ACC 12-1
vs PWR 5 (+ND): SEC 6-9, ACC 14-8
HEAD to HEAD: SEC 3 wins, ACC 7 wins

There are quite a few bowl games to go, but at this point there is little doubt which conference has the better resume.

SEC = O-V-E-R R-A-T-E-D
What are the talking heads going to do? Chuckle Head and Churned Up are going to have a hard time spinning this on 680.

Could you put together B1G data?

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Local media pukes won't try to spin it. They will simply pretend it didn't happen. "Nothing to see here....move along...."

 

[Augusta_Jacket]

As with all other data points, bowl wins are irrelevant unless they further the desired narrative.

At 5-7, how did Mississippi State even get into a bowl? I'm guessing it must be manifestation of "SEC quality loss mathematics" wherein five conference losses are somehow equivalent with two actual wins...

When there aren't enough bowl eligible teams (6-wins), they give bids based on Academic Progress Rate (APR). So believe it or not, Miss St got in due to their athletes' (not only football) stellar academic performance.

Nah. SEC quality academics. If not enough 6 win teams, 5-7 teams fill spots in order of APR. Cow tipping 101 gets you to a bowl game.

Right. We all know what a GRIND it is to play in that conference. They could be an 8 win team in another conference. Yeah right. OK. It really showed against Miami OH. They got beat in every way but the scoreboard.

LOL!

Going into the final week, Duke had a chance to qualify as a 5-win team if they'd upset Miami because they were one of the highest ranked APR in the nation. That didn't happen but yeah what a shock that Mississippi State of all places also had a high APR score! Didn't think they even know how to spell "academics" over there, let alone do well at it.

Some people I head last night tiptoed up to the edge, but no one took the last step. I heard WTTE Heavily favored MSU barely held on the beat Miami O. I heard Two 6-6 teams coming off big wins over conference rivals. I heard Vandy put up huge points in the last two games against Ole Miss and Tennessee, but couldn't do much offensively against NC State. If the trend continues, it will be interesting to hear the first instance of someone taking the last step, which would be Gee, maybe the SEC ain't so hot this year.

I think I would be almost as pleased with Gee, look how many out of conference games the ACC is winning. Maybe they are good this year.

Hey, who do you think UNC learned how to play the "academics for athletes" games from? They didn't invent that stuff, the SEC 'schools' (and I use that term loosely) did. Remember the basketball final at UGa? Now, THAT's how you manage your APR. NCAA be damned!

 

[RedPete]

Nothing's gonna change about the SEC narrative unless Washington upsets Alabama. As down as they've been this year, Bama is propping-up every single one of their opponents, defying all logic.

If you really want to be sick, watch this nauseating mutt recruiting video. How do they get away with crap like this? Surely there must be some NCAA violations in there somewhere. And harking back to Herschel's new trans-am, here this kid got a Vette "from his parents".....yeah, right.

That might have been the worst thing I've watched all year.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

That was some lame

 

[RonJohn]

At least one ESPN commentator agrees that the SEC is overrated. Probably was only posted as bait to get SEC fans and other fans responding and refreshing the page.

It's TOO funny seeing the sec fans trying their damnest to prop up the conference.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

With A&M going down tonight, the SEC is now 1-1. Let's hope for quite a few more in the loss column for them.

 

[melloace]

Actually 1-2. Mississippi State won. Vandy and A&M lost.

After yesterday's ACC split with PITT losing and MIA winning combined with A&M's loss:
vs NON PWR 5: SEC 22-5, ACC 16-5
vs FCS: SEC 11-0, ACC 12-1
vs PWR 5 (+ND): SEC 6-10, ACC 15-9
HEAD to HEAD: SEC 3 wins, ACC 7 wins

Lot's of football left, but the results sure are sobering for the special ed folks right now. Check that.....nothing is ever sobering for them. Even losses are proof of dominance.
