re: Week 12 - Official SECR Power Rankings

Your wrong

The outcome of a game is part of the subjective part of a power ranking

You’re just choosing to leave that part of the equation out because you got your butt kicked a couple days ago

Had it been the other way around you would be arguing that you should be above Oklahoma because you just kicked their butt

Power rankings aren’t just statistics though

You’re trying to just purposely choose to leave off the part of the power ranking that does include recent losses and wins, and only includes statistics

Sorry buddy, a recent loss affects your power ranking

It's obvious the difference between power rankings and season rankings is not something you'll be able to grasp. And I think I've done a pretty decent job of explaining them for anyone who wants to understand the difference.

So lick my balls.

You’re just pissed because you got your arse kicked by Oklahoma


Why don’t you just admit that?

Looks reasonable.

You keep beating some narrative about A&M “avoiding” playing people.

A&M hasn’t avoided shite. Your buddy Sankey made a schedule and we played it. File your complaints with the SEC office.

Your argument hold more water if you hadn’t already lost 2 games…one to a shitty FSU team.

We are playing for a top 4 spot. If you make the CFP it’ll be a “we’re just happy to be here” scenario.

We are not the same.

It's a fact you have not played the top 6 teams of the SEC at all(top7 really since you can't play yourself).

As for the reason, it's because the conference is too damn big. It's basically the old Big12 and SEC combined now. In the past, you would all play each other, and the SEC would all play each other, and then we'd either both meet up in the BCS, or in the playoffs etc.

And again, that FSU team would be the 3rd most difficult team on your schedule.

Top SEC teams A&M has not played by F+ rating.

5. Georgia
8. Alabama
11. Ole Miss
12. Oklahoma
14. Vanderbilt
15. Tennessee

You have played 18. Missouri. The current 8th best team. Texas has dropped it seems.

Alabama has played every single team in the above list except for Ole Miss. We also played Missouri, your 2nd best opponent, but only the 5th best for Alabama.

You have upcoming:

20 Texas, 9th best in the SEC.

Your next best win other than Mizzou and #6 ND is #25 Auburn. Alabama plays #25 Auburn in 2 weeks. FSU is #24. They will be like our 7th most difficult opponent.

LSU is #26, we've both played them. 4th best on your schedule, 8th best on ours.

So hey, maybe you are great and all. Weak SoS doesn't mean you can't be a strong team. It does mean you haven't really done anything to prove it, so I'm still waiting to see.

SOS and opponents W/L record and conference is but ONE metric in determining how good a team is. If it helps you to fixate on that and give it more weight than that own team’s W/L record, then so be it…but it changes nothing. A&M has won every game they were scheduled to play.

We can’t win other teams’ games for them and we shouldn’t be punished because Texas, Missouri, and LSU melted down midseason.

This conference is probably more competitive than ever and most of what I see is the SEC eating itself alive. 9 games is going to be brutal for this conference.

Top to bottom SEC is probably the strongest conference. It sure as hell can’t be the Big 10. Taking issue with A&M’s schedule while mentioning nothing about Indiana and OSU’s weak schedule is certainly a choice.

Again, Power ranking vs season rankings.

And everything I've said is even more true for Ohio St. But this isn't a Big10 forum.

Looking at the graphic eggy has managed to avoid playing 1-8 while playing 9-16 and nearly tripping over their dick against two of those bottom feeders.

I guess they get lots of practice to play a bunged up SEC team in championship game.
