TFW your team isn't good enough to win their own power 5 division but you think they should be invited to the playoffs.

Alabama is going to need some chaos the next couple of weeks. I think the committee will jump a one loss Utah or 1 loss Oklahoma over them. The way they moved Baylor up 5 spots tells me they are positioning themselves to make Oklahoma look better if they win out.

Raku posted:Because Houston and UCLA are a real challenge right? Houston and UCLA are still way better than that mess. Oklahoma lost a close one, but they beat some decent teams and will need to win a CCG. Same with Georgia, who has beaten Florida, Auburn, and Notre Dame. If Alabama gets in, Clemson or someone else would just run a train on them like what happened last year. It wouldn't be a travesty if Bama gets in, but this is a national championship, not an SEC West do-over. They had their chance against LSU and looked outclassed, even at home.

You're very brave for still putting up with us and trying to show us the light. Personally if I didn't like it I might try to suggest a new thing to talk about, but maybe throwing a giant fit is going to get it done, who knows? I'm sure this is definitely not at all related to people thinking the team you root for should miss the playoff for literally the first time in it's existence.

With parity rising at the highest level of competition the only answer is either to get rid of the playoffs and let the computers decide again, or expand the playoffs to make them more encompassing. There's literally no better way to solve the root cause.

You must be mistaken me for someone else because I am not that passionate about the rankings ever. I just like watching my football team play football on Saturdays. If they win great, if they lose that sucks but it happens. If they make the playoffs this year it would be nice but it realistically isn’t going to happen, no matter how many weird scenarios people decide to come up with. They could never make the playoffs again and I wouldn’t be that bummed about it because it’s a bunch of kids playing a sport for free for our amusement. I am mostly cheering for them boys to get paid.

Honestly, with the advances in machine learning and AI i'd love to see the entire body of data from say the previous 20 seasonal performances (Player and team) of the entire FCS fed into the database, and then using historical data backed by real time performances in the present season to determine rankings. (I tinker way too much with AWS as a hobby/work, forgive me)

A committee almost certainly would've rematched Michigan OSU in 06 and I've got a bit of pundit fatigue with their subjective nonsense.

fdjkbnadjnbkjldaf posted:Michigan straight up could beat osu. If they run the ball like they did against notre dame, then combine that with the multiple nfl receivers they will score points. Their defense is all about pressure on the qb, and that's what osu is weakest at. Honestly, I could see Justin Fields being sacked like 5 times by Michigan. Can you stop Mesh/Snag yet? Because Ryan Day is still employed in Columbus. Also, consider Shea's ability to perform, because Ohio State has 46 sacks on the season to Michigan's 32. Buckeyes have 105 TFL. You have 67. If I remove Chase Young from those numbers, it almost kind of closes the gap. Kind of hard to have a huge passing attack when your QB spends all the time running for his life off of 4/5 man pressure as opposed to gambling pressure on Cover 0/1 every down like Brown. Also, I really don't understand why we're pretending 1-loss Oklahoma isn't immediately in the playoff over 1-loss Bama. The committee openly says they take injuries into account as both a positive and negative, so Bama would need Cardale-drops-50-on-Wisconsin types of beatdown on Auburn to beat that stigma since the committee will absolutely discount that, especially if Oklahoma goes and beats Okie Lite and then Baylor again. Regardless of whose schedule is more doo-doo rear end, they absolutely are going to consider Tua's absence as a negative against Bama, and that's just how it goes. Comedy option: Saban gets Gus-ed again and loses forcing them into a NY6--half the starters sit the bowl game while getting rolled by Utah in a NY6 again. Georgia gets blown out by LSU and ends up getting rolled by Oregon/Minnesota in a bowl after similar levels of anger over getting left out.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:I don't know, I think Utah is a great team but they're horribly outmatched against any other potential playoff team. Their defense is great but I question whether they have the secondary depth to play a truly competitive game against a playoff team. Their defensive front is top tier though, and that'd likely give anyone fits in the playoffs at least. Their offense is good but not great, and while LSU's defense hasn't been spectacular it's been fine enough given how many points they score. Yeah I agree you're right. Ultimately neither their offense nor their secondary are elite which would be a pretty big problem.
