Your case is shite.

Who is Navy's top 25 win?

Sigh...

So is the rest of their schedules that you conveniently ignored.

Those are the 6 common opponents the two teams share.


There are also teams that aren't common opponents. Do you suppose the committee just ignores those results as you've done?

It’s really weird how so many seem to to just assume LSU has played a tougher schedule than OSU


Also weird how in a week Baka went from “who have they beat? A&M? Why are they top 10” to “why isn’t Bama top ten and ahead of Wisky??”

Whole 180 going on

Go ahead, sport.

Let's tear apart your weak arse points.

It's my belief that they are setting up drama.
Here’s something that would bolster your belief: the vast majority of SOS formulae favor tOSU, but the one cited by ESPN happens to favor LSU. Excellent drama by the suits.

I think the ultimate goal will be to screw Utah to justify another playoff expansion.
Too hot a take for me. Playoff expansion is already 100% justified; it’s just that whereas expanding from 2 to 4 adds one game at the end, going from 4 to 8 adds four games to the front end, and many universities shite down as a matter of state for month, so the whens and wheres are far more difficult.

You haven’t torn down shite. You really haven’t even tried, you’ve just weirdly dismissed everything using broken logic and fundamentally wrong definitions

I’ll re-post my original position for you one more time, since basic reasoning is obviously difficult for you to wrap your head around. But unless you actually make a pro-cincy argument of your own, I’m not wasting any more time on you. Good night

There is absolutely zero reason for Cincinnati to be ranked 5 spots above Navy. They both played extremely similar schedules and both ended up 10-2 with loses to Memphis and a top 15 team. The only difference is that Navy has a top 25 win on their schedule and has blown out multiple opponents while Cincinnati has just barely eked by against every semi-decent team they’ve played.

???

I edited before you posted to fix an autocorrect that I originally missed. The time stamps clearly show that I made that edit 2 minutes before your dumbass post. Can you really not tell time?

This is easy to destroy.

School - w% - ow% - oow% - SOS (my formula)
Cincinnati .833 .568 .531 17
Navy .818 .485 .531 73

Cincinnati’s schedule is way harder than Navy’s. Less troll, more homework.

You think editing your post before I replied means that I didn't see it? Welcome to the Internet, sport.

at you trying to insult anyone's intelligence in the same post where you were owned by your phone.

Air Force is at 25 in both the coaches and AP. Name a Cincy win that is better.

Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for you to make a pro-cincy argument of your own. I suspect I’ll have to wait indefinitely, because you clearly know nothing about either team

Your formula for strength of schedule is WAY out of whack. Don’t know what formula you’re using, but it’s clearly not a good one. Here’s some of the other major SOS rankings available:

Jeff Sagarin: Cincy 70, Navy 73
Ken Massey: Navy 59, Cincy 54
Teamrankings: Navy 54, Cincy 55
Anderson and Hester: Navy 54, Cincy 36

Based on that last one, I’ll give Cincy a very slight edge in schedule difficulty. But I’m sorry, your formula is clearly garbage if it says that cincy’s schedule was WAY harder. That just isn’t the case.

You'll need to wait until you start making accurate points.

Try it.

Sagarin has Cincinnati at #70 and Navy at #73.

Did your phone outsmart you again?

Never though this thread would devolve into an argument about Navy and Cincinnati.

Yea, 9 and 0 are next to each other and it’s tough to type quickly with big fingers ;)

Fixed it for you snowflake
