re: Big 12 PAC 12 consider merger
Posted by Saddletramp on 8/6/21 at 8:51 am
Exactly, most people have missed that the landscape has changed when it comes to value. TV market size is less important than actual viewers.
For 2020 if you combine big 12 and pac 12 sans OU/TX, the big 12 would have 11 of top 20 most viewed games. Iowa State vs Kansas state would have been the most watched game...Arkansas State vs Kansas state would have been 11. Granted i only used one data source but this says the pac 12 is in trouble next round of negotiations and should make the B1G leery of merging.

Sounds like they have been in contact with other Big 12(-) schools.
re: Wondering when it will come out that going to SEC was OUs idea.
Posted by Saddletramp on 7/26/21 at 1:06 pm
I think you are right about OU being the impetus for this move. If you look, OU has been making very public statements about how the B12’s actions have been financially (recruiting, TV times etc) detrimental to OU. This sets up nicely for them to argue breach of fiduciary duty in order to get out of the contract. I would say Texas saw what was going on and decided to get involved….as much as I dislike Texas, their lawyers aren’t stupid.
re: 5th CFP rankings: teams sorted by currently ranked wins
Posted by Saddletramp on 12/4/19 at 9:46 am
Add in record.
Analyze against CFP guidelines:
1. Conference championships won,
2. Strength of schedule,
3. Head-to-head competition,
4. Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,
5. Other relevant factors such as key injuries that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.
Compare your results against committee.
Conclusion?

re: Will Myles Garrett face criminal charges?

Shiner,
Agreed, As you point out presumed consent only goes so far. As football player what Miles did breaks the code; however, to press charges we have to establish where presumed consent no longer applies and who was the aggressor. I believe, based on football code and legally, when the helmet came off presumed consent evaporates. After that point who closed with whom? Who attacked who first? etc... Now I have only seen what has been posted...not all.
That would also open up Pouncey as well to criminal charges, I don't think repeatedly kicking a defenseless player in the head who was held down should be overlooked by the league. Opening this up to criminal legal scrutiny is not something the NFL is going to want right now.

And as someone from Oklahoma and still an OU fan, I hate OU to B1g. It doesn't culturally fit, but I am from Little Dixie (SE OK).
This move would help out B1G by increasing their chances to make the playoffs and get that money. If I was SEC or B1G I would call the other conference, choose their teams and make the offers now. OU set grounds for legally getting out of B12 GoR last year with expansion talk. Just have to show league's has caused financial damage by not expanding.

Georgia:
Offense: 1 Sack per 15.95 pass attempts.
Defense: 1 Sack per 14.19 opp pass attempt
Oklahoma:
Offense: 1 Sack per 18.95 pass attempts.
Defense: 1 Sack per 17.41 opp pass attempts.
BTW since you like PFF grades so much:
PLAYER SCHOOL PFF GRADE
Nick Chubb Georgia 88.2
Trey Sermon Oklahoma 84.1
Rodney Anderson Oklahoma 83.5
Damien Harris Alabama 82.8
Sony Michel Georgia 82.3
Know what it all means? Absolutely nothing. The game will tell. I hope for a great game, and with no serious injuries to either team.

Article UGA vs OU running backs (historical)
Posted by Saddletramp on 12/15/17 at 1:15 pm
Forget the article, it is an OU site. Watch the videos. You forget how good some of these guys were especially Hershel (UGA) and Joe Washington (OU)(my favorite two at least).
Enjoy.

Oracle,
Great point.
against the blitz Mayfield has a 68% completion percentage and a rating of 200 (fox sports).
Great point.

He seems to be at his most dangerous when he is scrambling and the play is being extended, allowing receivers to get open. He is very accurate throwing on the dead run.

Fox, in the first TCU game, reported Mayfield has 68% completion rate and rating of 200 against the blitz. Not saying UGA won't be a different beast but makes you think about picking your poison. OU's offense is designed to exploit defenses designed around lines that fill gaps so LBs can run stop/tackle. Requires very disciplined LBs vice aggressive run stoppers.

Ah...but isn't that the way police work everywhere? The "protect and serve" is actually the state, not the people.
Thanks for the answer. I only remember Georgia from my time at FLETC in GlenCo.....had a great time, and FT Benning for one week of airborne school crammed into three weeks.

Are you talking about the Natrez Patrick who was arrested and charged on a misdemeanor marijuana charge? The second of this season? Third of his career? Sorry I don’t keep up with these things.

So does your response mean that having 2 SEC teams in the playoffs doesn't show the strength of the SEC.??
Having two teams in simply shows the quality of those two teams and is not indicative of a conference. I know a lot of folks ride coattails (not pointing fingers, just a general observation); I was simply making an observation about pre-bowl relative analysis and indicating its lack of applicability until all data is accumulated (i.e. post bowl).

PP,
Great point....look at last year when everyone ridiculed Big 12 Defenses but during the bowls they allowed the fewest PPG of all conferences, although that has probably more to do with match-ups than anything.

Yes it only includes Tier 1/2, but the statement was the league has unequal distribution of monies. If they don't own it (i.e. teir 3) then they can't unequally distribute it.
