Better games everybody plays each other over 2 years and home and home every 4 it’s way better.
Only soft scary pussies want 8 games and complain about beating each other up (it’s football everyone everywhere has injuries) and whine about other weaker conferences schedules (they are weak) if your scared go join another conference then so you can have a soft schedule.
I hate with disgust the 24 team playoff should be 8 teams max. But since it’s 24 playing 9 games is way better for fans and iron sharpens iron. If sec teams are that good compared to the rest it will show in the playoffs every year and sec teams will be battle hardened and tested vs untested teams.
24 team playoff is trash but it makes a 9 games sec schedule a grit test advantage for sec teams, simple as that.
Or you can do 8 conference games and 2 P4 OOC games like Alabama and a few others were trying to make happen without a mathematical penalty on the conference.

Disagree...you can't lose by 30pts at home
Have 2OT games and beat OU by only 7pts and be in the top 5
They have been living on the edge and their luck will run out
They've been overachieving, but the luck hasn't run out yet, so you can't say for certain when it will.

Week 8 SoS Rankings
Posted by 3down10 on 10/26/26 at 9:25 pm
Using the FEI ELS metric, through Week 8.
Strength of schedule ratings represent the number of losses a team two standard deviations above average would expect to have against the schedule of opponents.
Listed in order by overall rank, expected losses to the right.
#1 Alabama - 1.61
#2 Mississippi State - 1.57
#3 Auburn - 1.57
#4 Kentucky - 1.55
#7 Texas - 1.46
#8 Texas A&M - 1.43
#9 Arkansas - 1.39
#10 Oklahoma - 1.38
#12 Ole Miss - 1.28
#13 Vanderbilt - 1.24
#15 South Carolina - 1.19
#18 Tennessee - 1.16
#19 Florida - 1.12
#27 LSU - 0.89
#32 Georgia - 0.79
#40 Missouri - 0.70
Other notables
#20 Indiana - 1.06
#23 Ohio State - 0.97
#24 BYU - 0.96
#37 Wake Forest - 0.77
#41 Houston - 0.69
#54 Notre Dame - 0.50
#56 UCLA - 0.48
#61 Miami - 0.40
#82 Texas Tech - 0.27
#88 Utah - 0.25
The SEC makes up 4 of the top5. 8 of the top10. 13 of the top20.
Only 4 other highly ranked teams have a schedule better than the easiest SEC schedule and the highest is #20, below 13 of 16 SEC Teams.
This is not parity, this is self harm.

Now, we're pretending DeBoer was given a trash roster.
Spin away.
You just went and took shite out of context. I even mentioned earlier in this thread that the big difference was Alabama fans didn't pretend the existing class wasn't coming in, thus never "under 50".
But you are trying to use that same quote out of context for an entirely different story.
And your last paragraph you quoted was in reference to him not being of the SEC. But you've once again taken it completely out of context.
But at any rate - he is an has been given everything he needs and everything I said there has held true, right down to fans have dumb expectations.
Not to mention he hasn't failed at all.
You are so fricking pathetic at times.

All of the revisionist history regarding the roster DeBoer inherited is pretty interesting. For the record, many Alabama posters here didn't really think it was that bad prior to the season. There were a whole lot of 12-0, 11-1, and 10-2 predictions.
I went back and found TideSaint's prediction thread:
:lol:
I always predict Alabama to go undefeated.

This may actually be one of the most delusional copes ever uttered on this site.
And that's really saying something.
You all celebrated the mass exodus when Saban retired, now act like nobody left.
BK was hired in late November? DeBoer was hired in mid Jan.
The biggest difference is Alabama fans don't pretend like the incoming class wasn't part of the roster.
quote:
Bama spent an estimated $42million in NIL this year. LSU spent similar. Both have 2 losses. Only one had more than half the team, with a QB who had no spring, trying to gel.
Did you just quote 2 different sources for the same stat, while using the extreme end on Alabama to pretend like they were the same?

It's a difference of 4 ranking spots, which isn't that bad when you consider what both inherited.
I realize you're trying to frame it as this vast difference but it's just 4 ranking spots.
It's a matter of making the playoffs or not.
Even under a 12 team playoff, BK wouldn't have made the playoffs because of his regular season losses. He always had at least 3.
If you have a season with just 2, you can make the playoffs.
That's why regular season games mean more, and why/how they are cheapening the regular seasons importance by adding more teams.
If we still had the 4 team playoff, then the standard is high enough neither of them make it. So you claim 4 spots isn't much, but it's actually a lot when the playoff cut is between them.
quote:
And now you're sucking off DeBoer while people are saying it's a bad hire.
But you can't give an actual good reason why he is a bad hire. I don't know the future, I just know you can't give a real reason presently.
BK had an obvious ceiling. That's what people said when you hired him, that's what people said until you fired him. He constantly threw players and coaches under the bus rather than take responsibility. Was disconnected from the program, etc.
So what makes him bad?
quote:
That speaks to the coach.
As I said, it speaks to Saban not getting and/or being able to keep the quality assistants in his last few years. We had players recruited and developed by people like BoB etc. Defensively we transitioned very well.
quote:
Saban was gone, but yeah use the GOAT as an excuse for the current coach.
And now I realize I wasted my time above because you can't follow the conversations.

The first act of being a Christian is to sin, it is impossible for you to ever get me to agree.
You are just double speak and lies.
You even substitute following the commandments with faith to claim you are obeying. It's substitution after substitution.
What is that faith in? The death of Jesus and that you are saved in his blood and all that other satanic bullshite. You just want to build the sacrifice up to be good enough for God.
And mostly you just lie. You pick verses here and there to create your own narrative and then get upset when anyone shows the actual context and what the individual verses you quote are actually saying.
All I've ever told you to do is keep the commandments. That is the way. But it's not easy for you, so I must be of the devil.
I quit responding to you, but then here every few weeks you gotta start trying to debate with me. And I'm not interested in it. I've answered all your questions and debunked your claims. But then you want me to do the same shite over and over and over.

1st was obvious and right in front of the ref.
2nd was not as obvious, I'm guessing it was a bad formation? I don't think I've ever seen one called on a WR before.
3rd one was obvious hold right in front of the QB.
Tennessee has no valid complaints.

Believe it or not, but the offer of the gospel is actually for your benefit.
But the primary benefit I'm seeking to offer is for others seeing your false "gospel" of works-righteousness and being dissuaded by it.
You consistently demonstrate you don't actually understand Jesus at all, while admitting your entire belief in the Jesus is based on your own inability to do what is asked of you.
You believe you are saved by that death because you can't live the life, and you can't follow - just like the rich man who couldn't give up his wealth to follow.
You are scared of being healed and you don't actually want it. So you stick to your free gift while denying in others what you yourself lack.
