Tigers, are you sure your DT coach is signed, sealed, and delivered?

Luicci has hinted that it will probably be Wiggins, but that's not certain.
Congrats to the Texas and Oklahoma and Louisiana schools getting ready for the playoffs

Way too much faith in Tech, and too little faith in Indiana.
Texas fans, do yall want to take the ND opt out path?

Or are you excited about your pop tart bowl or cheese it bowl or mayonnaise bowl or whatever?

Duly noted, SOS makes no diff at all when it comes to getting in the playoffs, it's about W/L record or being Bama.
My God, you people never stop bitching, even when the everyone knows you don't belong in the playoffs.

They’ll lose to ND or Bama in round one.

Imagine being Oregon. You look pretty much like crap all year. You have almost no impressive wins. But all you have to do is beat James Madison at home, and then Tech, and you're in the final four.
They must be living right.

If tweet fails to load, click here. But Ohio State and Indiana and Oregon and Tech are all seeded higher than all but one SEC team.
This is a problem for the SEC...

That the committee has Tech as high as they do, and that they have Ole Miss and A&M below one loss teams from the Big 12, indicates a playoff problem for the SEC going forward.
The poor reasoning equates a win, like, say, Vandy's win over 4-4 UT with Tech's win over, say, 5-4 Cinncinati. The bottom of the SEC is discounted more than they should be relative to the top of the Big 12. Truth is, 4-4 UT would probably have won the Big 12, maybe finishing second at worst. 1-7 State beat 6-3 Arizona State. But the Committee isn't accounting for that properly. There SOS is an antiquated system that looks only at the record of your opponents, and the record of the record of your opponents, without looking at data that relativizes the strength of clusters of common opponents.
It's hurting A&M and Ole Miss this year, but it could cost your team next year.

re: Ags, what were your thoughts on Elijah Robinson when he was there?

He’d be a great hire, and I’m sure he’d jump at the chance.

So, for example, Arizona State is 6-3 in conference, and Mississippi Stare is 0-8 in conference.
But Aggy never beat a team with a winning record in conference!
Okay, but the SEC is better than everybody else. Mississippi State beat Arizona State!

I’m ok with Ole Miss being in front of us but both Ole Miss and A&M should be in front of Tech and Oregon.
Yep. A&M vs Ole Miss is so close, there is no reason to complain one way or the other, But we should clearly be ahead of Tech and Oregon.
I think the way they get there is by overvaluing the in-conference records, without regard to the strength of those records.

You have a better win than UGA over Ole Miss? Who?
You have a better loss than UGA to Bama? Really? You lost to #13, UGA lost to #9.
No, that's why I said most one loss teams. Ole Miss loss is better than A&M's loss.

If the goal is to get in the playoffs then why does it matter if you’re clearly not on the bubble?
Because the first round matchup for the 7 seed is significantly harder than the first round matchup for the 6 seed.

What exactly did he want, to lose and move up?
What a stupid question. Of course not.
He wants someone to explain why we’re the lowest ranked one loss team when we have a higher SOS than the other one loss teams, and a better win, and a less bad loss, than almost all the other one loss teams. (Not including BYU).

“It’s amazing how many people say that we have played a poor schedule when we have the 15th ranked SOS in the country and the 3rd ranked SOR in the country.”
