re: Lane Kiffin Whining At His Post-Game Presser

I say top four conference champions get an auto bid but top four ranked teams get the bye. Conference champions need a shot to get a variety of conference or else it would be six SEC and six Big10 every year.

More regular season, premier matchups across conferences.

what does this even mean and how do you make this happen across the country logistically? You have to schedule these games years out. Especially with the current portal/transfer rules, you have no idea who's going to be good or not when the games are actually played. And you have a boat load of P4 teams. How to you propose constructing fairly equal schedules nation-wide?

NIL minimums to force the B1G cellar dwellers to spend to become competitive. NIL caps should be introduced, too (looking at you, Ohio State).

You're going to need Congress and the Courts to make that a possibility and a whole lot more like unionizing college football and collective bargaining

Adding two new teams was always going to be difficult to accomplish this in year one. No one knew Oklahoma and Florida were going to be trash this year. When the SEC created the 2024 schedule, Texas having UGA, Oklahoma, A&M, and Florida wasn't thought to be "easy." Sankey actually took a sample of a few years and tried to give everyone an equal schedule based on the record of those opponents over that time period. Unless you want bridge scheduling every single season and think you can predict confidently who will or won't be good the following season, there will always be teams who play easier schedules than others.

Pretty odd for you not to know that this place talks about everyone... including lane's DAUGHTER who he allowed to bang WH so he would head to ole piss. But hey everyone is happy in the end.

So Texas doesn't get credit for beating 2 of the teams Ole Miss lost to? But Ol Miss should get credit for beating the team Texas lost to? You folks talk out both sides of your mouth constantly.

The SEC is a gauntlet but Texas had an easy SEC schedule..which one is it? As I said before the SEC is top heavy with a bunch of leeches, attached to the conference tit.

And people outside of the SEC have known this for a long time. Reality is finally slapping the shite out of some of you.

If every team that beat an ACC team in a bowl was playoff worthy we would need a 16 team playoff.

But my point is how do you correct this perceived flaw? With an eye test or....committee? If a computer algorithm isn't going to fix that problem, the only thing left is letting people fix the perceived problem. The people in charge of doing that, didn't. So then what's the solution?

The BCS computers are bad. They are old and my guess is they were only chosen because they were all that were available at the time.

There are much better formulas out there today. They are opponent adjusted and even predict scores.

F+ has Ole Miss #5

Ohio St is #1

Georgia was not seen as strong even with Beck and is down in 7th, below Penn St in 6th. It had #4 Notre Dame beating Georgia in the game projections.

If you look at the current final 4 of the playoffs, they are all ranked 1-6 in F+.

Ole Miss didn't make the playoffs at all. The other was #2 Oregon who lost to #1 Ohio St.

Texas is #3.

How about other playoff teams?

#9 Indiana
#11 Tennessee
#13 SMU
#18 Clemson
#21 Arizona St
#23 Boise St

Kiffin is 100% correct.

These are however only power rankings. They do not operate on wins and losses. Typically season rankings are based on wins and losses. They would look different and Ole Miss wouldn't be as high and other teams like Alabama wouldn't be as high either in those types of rankings.

But if you just want purely how are the best overall teams regardless of record, and aka thus able to win the playoffs, power rankings are probably the best indicator.

I think end of season rankings would better because SoS should matter and so should winning and losing games. But Ole Miss should still get in higher because teams like SMU, Clemson and so forth did not have any quality wins to offset their losses.
