re: Does Bama's play the last 5 weeks of the season really justify a playoff birth?
Posted by wm72 on 12/7/25 at 12:58 pm to Errerrerrwere
No. But really neither does beating a lot of bad teams soundly either.
Really problem is that the super conferences mean a handful of teams play Top 30 or so teams week in week out and they rest play 2 or 3 all season.

Golf has a much cooler design but I agree. It's not that bad and pretty good marketing to go after the younger Euro guys that worship VW Golf with a cheaper option.
I have a record shop and just give the staff $100 credit to the shop. Scoring rare records is really why they work there anyway.
re: How much do you tip your mail carrier for Xmas?

My mother is in her 80s in a somewhat rural area and USPS is a Godsend.
Her regular driver goes out of her way to bring any packages to the front porch instead of the closer carport door so my mom doesn't have to carry them up the inside stairs.
Always checks with her to see if she needs stamps to save her a trip to the post office.
She's knocked on the door to check on her a few times when my mom hadn't been out to get the mail for a couple of days.
I always leave her a gift card to a local restaurant in a Christmas card since I also appreciate that there are still two non fast food chains in town.

Probably right about Alabama. Not sure there's really 12 other teams that do deserve it though.

Texas Tech lost to a team Miss St beat. That's pretty close.

Not sure what point that makes. Kind of like saying Texas Tech lost to a team Miss St beat and is ranked #4

Texas Tech would beat these teams in the SEC this year
Florida

Kentucky
Texas

Miss State
Vandy
Tennessee
OU

Ole Miss
Toss ups against Bama and UGA probably lose
They "could" beat them on a given day.
Seeing that they lost at Ariz St and just watching them, I very much doubt they would go through, say,
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Vandy
Georgia
LSU
With less than 2 losses.

don’t see them as being any better than LSU or Missouri this year.
Yeah,people exaggerate saying they're not good teams.
Bit, yeah, they're a lot more on par with Missouri or Tennessee, Vandy at best that just play less really good other teams and therefore up with 1 or 2 less losses.
My dad got me a summer job working for some rich crooked arse friend of his that sold mobile homes. My first day, I was sent with another kid and some tools to remove the tires from a mobile home.
We knocked on the door, showed the guy a contract and told the guy we were there to remove the tires because they belonged to the dealer. He said wait just a minute and came back with a shotgun and said to tell that lying SOB he can come over himself and read this here contract.
Quit before lunch.

The biting scoop: when big jobs are open, ADs contact the agents of good coaches to gauge interest.

Point is we are giving way too much of a pass to teams that play no one and screwing teams who actually schedule and play hard teams
I agree with this. It's why the NCAA basketball committee has increasingly considered QUALITY WINS instead of overall record their most important selection/seeding criteria.
Shockingly this has caused college basketball teams to schedule more and more enjoyable OOC matchups.
Even more surprising is that the people who brought us supersized conferences that make no geographic or traditional sense can't look over at their desk and copy that.

This is why college basketball uses metrics about who you actually beat, not just solely focusing on W-L record.
College basketball committee is vastly superior but took them a lot of trial and error to get there.
I completely agree that what sets the basketball committee apart now is that it looks at Quality Wins first and foremost.
That's why you have so many great OOC basketball matchups now.
Stupid that the football committee can't learn from that example but on par with having supersized conferences that make sense to no one but bankers.

There would certainly be an irony to the committee saying they value tough schedules and then leaving out the SEC regular season #1 seed that got that seed based on the toughest schedule.

If Bama moves ahead, it will be:
"we considered the added data point of Alabama finishing regular season the #1 SEC CG seed"
even though Bama is the #1 seed due to same strong SOS the committee has habitually ignored

re: New Playoff Predictor
Posted by wm72 on 11/29/25 at 4:31 pm to CrimsonBoz
The predictor for Oklahoma losing and us losing to Georgia would be
9 Bama vs 8 ND with the winner playing 1 Ohio St.
Not that we or ND are necessarily juggernauts but that's probably the worst possible draw for Ohio St as the #1 seed.

These aren't really accurate because they are ignoring the fact Miami isn't in the ACC CG and only can get in if a bad VT beats Virginia or a mediocre Cal beats SMU
If that happens SMU/Virginia winner would be in and they aren't showing that
It actually works but just has Virginia losing to Virginia Tech as the default setting.
If you change that result, you get the SMU/UVA ACC Championship game with the winner as the #11 seed in the actual bracket replacing Miami.

We definitely use a lot of clock on offense but the main reason most of our SEC games were close was the offense scoring around 24 points and also setting up the other team for 13 with a short field.
And having way too many bunches of 3 and outs.
Most of the close games KDB's Washington team played his last season were on the road against Top 25 teams. It's how he got that crazy winning % against Top25 opponents.
