WVU is really in no mans land, not East Coast, not NE, not Midwest and not Southern. They fricked up when they seceded from Virginia and may never get out of the hole.

I live in Morgantown but aside from a few folks from the Southern part of the state, as BMWS said, it’s like a Pittsburgh suburb.

Count me in ……. as a hater.

Aren’t they just a couple of years removed from a CWS Championship? Don’t they have like the best college baseball stadium in the country?

Couldn’t be satisfied with the SEC trophy, had to cheat to keep the Hogs from having a chance to win the NCAA Indoors.

From the NCAA:

“Southern California won the 2025 Division I men's indoor track and field title, clinching the title with the meets final event — a CHAOTIC 4x400 meter relay. Texas A&M got disqualified for flagrantly impeding Arkansas, which campaigned for a re-run of the race but was denied.

After the dust settled, USC outpaced Arkansas to score five points in the 4x4 to give the Trojans the championship win by six points. In total, USC finished with 39 points, while Georgia finished with 33 points in second place. It's USC's first men's indoor title in 53 years.”

You know it’s true, Antlers, Sallisaw, Stringtown, Broken Bow, Stringtown, Spiro, Talequah, Poteau, Pocola, Stigler, McAlester, Arkola, Roland and Muldrow. All the same and Moffett is the only town to have ever been off limits to the U.S. Military due to fighting.

Who is BF?

Would all of you b1tchers send me some other metrics to add? How would you weight a school which has only been in the conference one year? There is something to ranking OU and Texas further down the list as they played in sh!t conferences forever as had been said many times.

Heck, I don't think Auburn should be that high ...... I hate them with a passion but the rankings are based on numbers and that's what I was given.

Please send me more metrics so that I can fine tune it.

Rank School Rationale

1 Alabama Dominant across all metrics and a founding member.
2 Auburn Consistently high performance in championships and polls.
3 Tennessee Long history of sustained excellence.
4 LSU High national championship and bowl performance.
5 Florida Multiple SEC titles and strong postseason showings.
6 Georgia Consistent top-tier season-end rankings and accolades.
7 Texas Raw performance is very high; its strong metrics help overcome the lower multiplier.
8 Oklahoma Similar to Texas, exceptional raw numbers boost its adjusted score.
9 Arkansas Solid head-to-head and championship credentials as a mid-joiner.
10 Ole Miss Consistent performer among the founding group.
11 Mississippi State Good overall records and accolades, though a notch below the leaders.
12 South Carolina Mid-joiner with moderate SEC success.
13 Texas A&M Competitive but with a shorter SEC history than founding members.
14 Missouri Similar to A&M, with a raw performance that places it in the lower mid-range.
15 Kentucky A founding member whose raw performance has been comparatively weaker.
16 Vanderbilt Historically modest performance despite a long tenure in the SEC.


Just for fun, I entered a number of metrics (like NC's, conference championships, head to head games etc.) into an AI program. It found the data and compiled the rankings. The weight given to the founding members (sans Tulane the Wreck and Sewanee) and number of years in the SEC, was crucial. At first, given weights of 10 for the 10, 5 for Arkansas and SC, 3 for Mizzou and A&M and 1 for OU and the Horns put the Sooners and Texas at rock bottom which is maybe where they should be but to place them below some of the others didn't sit right even though they are such newcomers. We then changed it to give conference duration a little less weight and the following is the initial run. If y'all could give me some additional metrics to use (I've already put in head to head games, all-conference players, Walter Camp and other POY awards etc.), we can tweak it quite a bit. Eventually we can do this for all sports.


I didn't choose the rationale comments, the AI did. :cheers:

What sport?
