Example - I am pulling for Notre Dame and Michigan State

LSU should be thrilled that Syracuse beat Clementine

anyone else?

Nah, just Clemson. UGA is the perfect example that it doesn't matter how good your opponents are, if you win you will be ranked high

Yes and no. This year, as long as UGA keeps winning they will be ranked high because everyone else in the country has lost. But UGA and Bama (most likely) will be meeting in the SEC Champ game. And if the loser wants any shot at getting in the final 4 still, their resume better look good.

Good point, we should schedule more powerhouse type teams, like Syracuse

Thanks for bringing that up

Then you should pull for other teams that have a direct impact on you.

If no one else lost, UGA would not even be in the CFP discussion. And SOS does matter.

Who the frick have y'all beaten?
A Virginia Tech team who has played no one?
A Louisville team that will finish with 4 losses?
Its week 8 bro, you have no idea how good your opponents really are

I gave up on FSU after they lost to NC State at home and barely beat Wake. They simply aren't a good football team.

FIFY

The Taters are coming out of mourning, apparently. You lost to Syracuse, bud. Think about that. Then don't crap on Georgia's schedule. It is ranked 16th SOS in the nation. True, it is not ranked as high as Clemson's, but I suspect Cemson's will begin to bottom out as Auburn gets beaten 2-3 more times.

Yes... every year. I want the teams we beat to go undefeated unless theyre in the West and were competing for position.

Would you rather be undefeated with a top 20 SOS or suck dick with a loss to Syracuse with a top 10 SOS?
