Yeah I agree

March Madness is a lot of fun, but it's a shite way to pick the best team.

We need to get rid of any and all phrasing that leaves the committee free to arbitrarily decide who is "best"

People are latching onto the headline grabber, but he's spot on right here

“So, when you say the four best teams, then don’t say undefeated, don’t say deserving, don’t say strength of schedule, don’t say strength of record, because it’s not the four best.

Why can lower divisions play up to 16 games but FBS can’t?


Bc not enough people care about thing they have to actually look into for info. FBS is in their face so they care and lengthening the season, even for just a couple teams, would create an avoidable roadblock.

I know but FBS fans try to say it’s tougher. I’m huge FCS fan so it’s a stupid argument they use.

It sounds like he's arguing for the eye test over actual data, which is exactly what makes him wrong.

This is true
Unless of course, if Bama is outside looking in...

I agree but the vocal masses don’t tend to worry about rational thought

Please let them slide. Besides, if they beat Buckeyes, Bama gets shaft (rare)
