The Big10 has more money than most of the SEC (hello TAMU and UT). NIL is going to shift who is going to be dominant.

Are you that desperate for weaker playoff competition?

Go ahead and boycott. It's a dumb argument when there are SEC teams ranked higher than Bama before the SECCG.

Here is the SP+ rating that mirrors Vegas odds before this weekend. Alabama #12. Notre Dame #5.

Wow ...it felt like it wasn't that close. Puts that whipping today into perspective


I'd say they were comparable. Alabama had a 2 score lead for the majority of the 2nd half. And then just ran the clock out for the 4th quarter. Our defense got multiple interceptions while Georgia ends up being 1 dimensional trying to come back.

Alabama probably could have lost by less tonight if they didn't go for the win on that 4th and 2 and give up the extra 7 there. But frick all that. Better play call would have been nice though.

Those are power rankings, not season rankings.

Blown out. In the past that is a reason to keep teams out of the playoffs

I agree.

If you eliminate the 2nd best team in the SEC for losing to the best team in the SEC how the hell do A&M or OM deserve to be in after watching their conference championship game at home.

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

Only because before the SECCG Auburn was ranked 2nd.

Bama is 9th, has three losses and the worst loss of all in consideration.

I use to do my own advanced stats that were very similar and could pick the winners of games around 70-75% of the time.

I've been following them since it was on football outsiders. We both started doing them about the same time. I quit doing it a long time ago though because stats got harder and harder to find and I wasn't paying over $1000 a year for them. Plus, he was getting play by play stats allowing him to filter out garbage time stats and I was just using overall team stats. So I just started following his and FEI/F+.

And I was mostly doing it to find out if teams like Boise St were actually legit with the opponent adjusted stats etc. They were not.

I however did season rankings in addition to power rankings. I should probably do them again using F+ rankings because I have a really good formula that is better than the SoR formulas I see else where for grading seasons.

So yeah, I know a little about the stuff.

It was pretty retarded that they passed ND in the first place due to that crappy win over Auburn.
