No, it's more about how Notre Dame gets a distinct advantage of playing a soft regular season schedule, and allows them to get into the playoffs… And then it becomes a three or four game season in which anything can happen.
Exactly, Chicken. And ND was a beneficiary of a 12-team playoff that began this season. They wouldn’t have been included in a 4-team playoff to even have a chance to play for a national championship.

Oklahoma landed the #1 QB in the portal, John Mateer.

No we wouldn’t. We’d have fallen from top 5 to barely still ranked after that 3 game losing streak. Especially getting blown out at home by Bama and following up by looking like shite against 4-5 Florida.
We’d be ranked probably just ahead of another 9-3 SEC team who got embarassed by A&M and Bama…..Mizzou
Understood, but why is Bama ranked so high when they recently lost 24-3 to mediocre Oklahoma?

re: Would LSU fans be for or against the following SEC divisions?
Posted by runridley on 12/2/24 at 4:28 pm
To play every school often, I’m in favor of either the SEC retaining its eight-game model, which would necessitate a 1+7 format (e.g., one permanent rival and seven rotating opponents) or a 3+6 model in which teams play have three fixed rivals and six teams on a rotating basis.

If you can win a title in South Bend, why has no one done it since 1988?
Exactly. Also, Penn St hasn’t won one since 1986.

I highly doubt Miami will have anywhere near 60 TD passes that Burrow had by season’s end.

Truly funny by you yet not because James Carville is an embarrassment for LSU imo.

If we do this then we are in the SEC championship game. We would only have 1 SEC loss with the tiebreaker over Georgia (common opponent Alabama). We would play either 1 SEC loss A&M or 1 SEC loss Texas (whoever wins their end of the year matchup).
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) uses a series of tiebreaker procedures to determine the teams that will participate in the SEC Football Championship Game:
Head-to-head competition: The tied teams play each other
Record against common opponents: The tied teams' records against common conference opponents are compared
Record against the highest-ranked common opponent: The tied teams' records against the highest-ranked common opponent are compared
Cumulative conference winning percentage: The tied teams' cumulative conference winning percentages are compared
Capped relative scoring margin: The tied teams' capped relative scoring margins are compared
Random draw: The tied teams are randomly selected

re: Chances we go undefeated over the next 6 games?
Posted by runridley on 10/14/24 at 1:54 pm
Obviously, if we were to go undefeated through this 6 game gauntlet, we’d be ranked #2 or 3. It’s not likely to happen but you never know. That’s why the games are played. As much as it pains me to say, I think that we lose at TAMU.
re: Durham reminds me of Justin Vincent when he break tackles
Posted by runridley on 10/11/24 at 8:55 am
Vincent had decent vision but the 2003 offensive line was way better at making holes to run through than the next couple of years, including this year’s offensive line. Many were saying, “What happened to Vincent? Why does he not look as good as he did as a freshman?”

Exactly. Most of that win/loss record was pre-2000.

2000-2019…..all winning seasons. If you watched the seasons in much of the 1990s, you know. 2022&2023 as well. The exception is obviously 2020&2021.

If Florida goes 6-6 it’ll be a miracle with the schedule, yet even 6-6 may not be enough for Sunbelt Billy to retain his job.
