re: This is how you want a coach responding to bullshite committee rankings

Which is strange. Are they just trying to prop up other conferences?
Absolutely. Not surprising when you look at how it’s governed: CFP website
11 votes total: one for each FBS conference (10) and one forNotre Dame. Notre Dame has an equal vote to the SEC as a whole, and also each one of the G5. They give the committee its marching orders.
Politically, they'll never agree to give the SEC schedules their due weight in SOS. The SEC needs a commissioner with balls of steel to negotiate that room, and it ain't Sankey.

re: SEC allegedly working to add Clemson and North Carolina

The closest college football got to having a good post-season system was 2010. Force the PAC-10 to take two more programs, and the conferences would have been reasonably balanced and regional.
All we needed was an 8 team playoff of the 5 major conference champs, highest ranked other conference champ, and a couple at-large to round it out.
I’m glad A&M isn’t still stuck in the old Big 12, but it would be a hell of a lot better than the mess we have now.

The committee is obviously throwing out bs as a smokescreen. Bartoo and Adam McClintock have accurately predicted the committee rankings over the last several years using metrics they claim the committee uses. Nobody could do that if the committee actually used the nonsense reasons they spout on their show.

re: SOS needs to be an actionable and objective variable

This may be an unpopular opinion, but SOS is the worst metric to use for ranking teams. In order to establish a strength of schedule, you first have to rank the teams to determine relative strength.
So you have to rank the teams to create a metric to rank the teams. It’s circular. SOS is just a smoke screen to hide whatever formula they used to establish their relative strength.

Too many hooks on that lure. You shouldn’t be surprised when it brings in a bunch of trash.

Worst coach, so far
re: A&M and Alabama: common opponents
Posted by Pilgrim Shadow on 11/9/25 at 9:58 am to Contra
In this very thread, the argument is simultaneously that A&M is weak because they haven’t beaten certain teams badly enough, and that you can’t judge a Deboer team by margin of victory because they play down to competition and still win. smh

They’ll use whatever rationale supports the conclusion they want, no matter how inconsistent that ends up being year to year. Same as always

The value of the family in a family business depends on the values of the family. If you raise your kids right, they should be your best available employees. Otherwise it’s a nightmare for all involved.
re: Why do people say give over 100%
Posted by Pilgrim Shadow on 10/21/25 at 9:01 am to travelgamer
Perception vs. reality. Most people are capable of much more than they realize. Asking them to give 100% results in them giving all that they think they can give, which is actually leaving a lot on the table. Asking them to give more than 10% extra sounds impossible, but ask for a little extra, and that seems doable. Motivation is not definable with mathematic precision as the term suggests, but it works for most people.

Interesting counterpoint to all the threads lately griping about A&M’s schedule.

A&M has had some odd the toughest schedules in the country over the last decade. We were due for a break.
