re: INDIANA WINS!!!

Posted by 3down10 on 12/6/25 at 10:29 pm to
Ohio St finally plays a semi-decent team and they lose.

Let me find my shock face.

This is why SoS should matter. All year long they have coasted. They only managed to score 14 against Texas and now only 10 tonight.
quote:

Fact 1: They are getting progressively worse.


Alabama defenses faced since Nov:

#8 LSU
#4 Oklahoma
#12 Auburn
#20 Georgia

quote:

Fact 2: They lost 3 games


12 teams, not 4.

quote:

Fact 3: They lost to FSU


One of the 3 already mentioned losses.

quote:


Fact 4: They weren’t competitive in the biggest game of their season.


But beat the same team earlier in the season in your own house. Remember, you cried because Ty took a piece of your hedges.

quote:

Common sense: You can’t count wins and ignore losses. When the SEC championship leads to no movement, it cheapens the whole event. The reward isn’t simply playing the game; it’s earning the trophy.


It's way more than the SECCG that has been cheapened. There is no reason to play tough schedules at all anymore. The 12 team format is stupid.

quote:


Don’t lose to FSU and you aren’t in this situation.


The only situation is you gonna be crying when Alabama gets in.
quote:



No, you dummy. If you want to look at what they think they should be ranked, look at their rankings.

FPI has ND at 3 and Alabama at 6 (before tonight). Try again.


FPI resume(SoR) has Notre Dame #13 and Alabama #9

I'm sorry the concepts of power rankings vs season rankings are beyond your grasp.
quote:

Nope...you still cant prove they played a harder schedule....dont care what the metrics say because its all in plain sight. Texas A&M only played two quality opponents in ND and Texas and that is fact. ND played more and that again is fact.


Ok well, your opinion means less to me than metrics, so have a tissue and learn to deal with it.
quote:

Didn’t work that way for UGA in 2023. Didn’t work that way for Auburn in 2017. frick Alabama


But it did work for you in 2021. You lost by 17.

:lol:
quote:

So, why would the number of teams in the playoffs determine the impact of losing an extra game others didn't play in? Stop posting nonsense


Because the majority of the teams making the playoffs won't be playing in such games.

I wouldn't say it should never hurt them, the committee did last year. I think it's kinda dumb. But even with the loss, Alabama is a top10 team and there are 12 spots.

It's a stupid format, what do you want?
quote:

Guess auburn should have gone in 2017 right?


Seems obvious you would have made the 12 team playoff in 2017.

quote:

3down10- ok...so you think Texas A&M had a harder schedule than Notre Dame....show me what was harder than Notre Dames since the only quality teams A&M played were ND and Texas while ND played Miami, Texas A&M, and USC.


I just gave you the SoS rankings from FEI.

I've given A&M fans shite about their schedule all year long. Wasn't at all surprised when they lost to Texas, told them it was their 2nd best team they'd faced all year long. They avoided like 6 of the top 8 SEC teams, maybe top 7. And of course, they had Notre Dame OOC.

And they still played a tougher schedule than Notre Dame.

Join a real conference and play some real teams. You sure as frick wouldn't be a 10 win team if you played Alabama's schedule. We played Georgia twice now just this year.

They're a better team than Alabama. Period.


Too bad they lost when the played Alabama...

Perhaps.

It's honestly hard to tell how legit either of these teams are because it's the first time either of them has really played a good opponent.

Indiana beat Oregon earlier in the year and Ohio St has the Texas win..14-7.

But they obviously aren't bad and are exceeding their talent level even if they would be a 3 loss SEC team.
It was funnier the first time.
quote:

Texas A&M had a very soft schedule.


By SEC standards yes.

Compared to Notre Dame, frick no.

If you want to talk about schedules, then look at Ole Miss. They are the only SEC team with a weaker schedule than Notre Dame.



re: Mark Ingram says Bama should be out

He did graduate from Alabama!


He's just from the BCS mindset where playoff teams should be teams that are national contenders.

But that's impossible with 12 teams.

He should be 100% correct, but the format is stupid.
quote:

3rd down 10- wanna bet? You hink Texas A&M's schedule was harder than Notre Dames?.....


It's literally what the stats say.

Texas A&M has the #32 schedule, Notre Dame has the #42 schedule.
quote:


Ok then. FEI Ratings:

Notre Dame - 4th
Alabama (before today) - 9th


Those are power rankings.

If you want to look at it where FEI thinks teams should be ranked for the season, then you need to look at the SOR stat. Going into tonight that had Alabama 7th and Notre Dame 13th.

FPI has Alabama #8 and Notre Dame 13th.

I would use a different formula, but that's what SOR is supposed to be.

quote:

3down- now bring up Texas A&M and Oregon's schedule.


They only have 1 loss and both have more difficult schedules than Notre Dame.

quote:


You want to start cherry picking stats?

How about you check out FPI? Sagarin? FEI?

You’re not very good any longer. Learn to accept it.


Those were FEI.

:lol:
quote:



No you haven’t. You’ve looked like shite for over a month now with bad wins over bad teams and now a terrible loss (and another bad loss to what’s not really a very good Oklahoma team).

The SEC isn’t what you think it is. Same as last year. There’s only one team from your conference with a real shot to win it all

We’re going to jump you tomorrow. We’re a much better team than you are right now. Shut your pie hole and deal with it.


Alabama defenses faced since Nov:

#8 LSU
#4 Oklahoma
#12 Auburn
#20 Georgia

Notre Dame defenses faced since Nov:

#120 Navy
#22 Pitt
#61 Syracuse
#57 Stanford

Want to go back further? It doesn't get any better for Notre Dame.
I think it should be the BCS and Georgia should just play whoever wins the Big10 championship.

And Alabama is obviously a top10 team and should make the playoffs if they want to be dumb and do 12 team playoffs.

Overall I hope we go back to 4 or less.
quote:

We have 1 top 25 win (might have 2 come tomorrow). You have 2, one of which just fricked you up in a rematch. And you got butt fricked by a bad 5 - 7 ACC team.


Try playing in a conference and maybe you could have played a good team today and proven you aren't a product of your schedule.

Alabama has already proven itself to be a top10 team.
