re: BCS needs to come back. SOS should by far be weighted 3x anything else

If the BCS Still Existed, This would have been the computer scores for this week prior to the games being played. The only computer that does not release their rankings by week is Anderson and Hester.
Computers: Billingsley, Colley, Wolfe, Massey, Sagarin
Highest Score, Lowest Score Eliminated
Highest score achievable = 75 pts. (#1=25, #2=24....)
Score is Computer pts/75pts.
1 Oregon 1.0000
2 Ohio St 0.9467
3 Texas 0.8667
4 Penn St 0.8667
5 Indiana 0.8667
6 Georgia 0.8133
7 Notre Dame 0.7200

re: LSU will have to beat #4, #3 and #1 ranked teams in 3 straight games to win title
Posted by Base on 11/26/19 at 7:46 pm
Georgia has a tougher path. As it stands now, they need to beat #2, #1 then #2 again
re: Total defensive rankings for teams currently in the playoff picture.

Ohio State, Clemson, Utah, Oregon...all near the top.
Total defense doesn't really tell a story. Buffalo and Missori, SDSU, UAB and Pitt aren't even close to even tasting the Top 25 ranking, but top 10 in total defense.
Because LSU scores so quickly, the other teams get more possessions, thus gaining more yards.
You would also have to take into account that the defense doesn't really need to put out so much effort with a cushion of a 2 possession lead.
This defense has only played behind on 3 possessions this year. That says something about LSU too
Let's not forget about the opponents LSU has been facing too. Facing better teams naturally means giving up more yards.

They are 8th in Points allowed among those teams...
Still 10-0 is better than allowing 15ppg but having 1 loss. That's what matters the most.
Clemson escaping against NC is the difference between being in the CFP and being an afterthought.
Have LSU fans just been spoiled by great defense in the past?
Posted by Base on 11/17/19 at 10:35 am
Last night, the closet the game was, was 0-0. After that, 7-0 and LSU really didn't look back. Sure, Ole Miss put up 600+ yards and it looks bad but let's just look at seasonal statistics (the bigger picture).
3rd down conversion defense (LSU 20th - 5th in Conference)
4th down conversion defense (LSU 19th - 6th in Conference)
Pass Yards Allowed per Completion (LSU 24th - 3rd in Conference)
Rushing Defense (LSU 33rd - 4th in Conference)
Turnover Margin (LSU 32nd - 3rd in conference)
LSU scores much faster and holds the ball less (in terms of TOP), but scores at a much more efficient rate
2019 - 30:01
2018 - 31:49
2017 - 32:34
2016 - 31:07
2015 - 31:20
2014 - 33:08
Usually, it's the offense that sputters and has had even worse numbers than the defense has put up. I know the defense is nowhere near what we would like it to be, but believe it or not, the defense is still way above average in the NCAA. Especially, since everyone has been saying that LSU has had one of the toughest schedules in the nation, thus far. I think we have just been all spoiled with elite defense in the past.

re: Should have stuck with the computer rankings
Posted by Base on 11/11/19 at 12:22 pm
Of the Computer rankings released, they are actually 50-50 on whether LSU or Ohio St is ranked as #1 and Bama is ranked in the top 4 in two polls as well.
Massey - Ohio St #1, Alabama #4
Billingsley - LSU #1
Sagarin - Ohio St #1, Alabama #3
Wolfe- LSU #1
I am actually for the computers as well, but most people will say that LSU is overwhelmingly #1, or at least deserve to be #1 and the computers don't reflect that.
LSU has had the toughest schedule in the nation thus far (maybe Auburn?) but they have won all their games a well.
How can anyone in their right mind say that OSU deserves that spot? Either way, LSU is in right now and that's all that really matters.

re: The game wasnt as close as the score indicated.
Posted by Base on 11/10/19 at 1:55 pm
But Bama fans are also probably saying that Tua fumbling the ball on the first possession with no defenders within 3 yards of him is the deciding possession as well. Should have been 7-0 Alabama early on.

So since the inception of the CFP, the selection committee would have picked the same 4 teams that the BCS would have picked had we still had computers doing the picking. Personally, I would prefer the BCS system, as computers can't change their formula.
For those people saying it's bad because humans input the formula are dumb. Teams wouldn't change the way they played based on the formula. Which of the computer 6 polls were "biased"? What teams are they biased toward? Also, remember per the calculation, the it would kick out the highest and the lowest score, so you basically get the 4 middle computer scores as your ranking along with the Harris and the Coaches poll making up the other 2/3.
Overall, with 62 people voting in the Harris poll and making each voter records public, overall even a few biased voters wouldn't make a difference with the overall ranking.
The fact that the CFP committee can talk amongst each other is a little shady.

I am going to say 1, along with the lucky pass against Georgia
Mentions of the Davis' return against Alabama will be 3 times: One at the beginning of the game, one on the first punt return, and one randomly somewhere.

It got worse with the FG LSU allowed.
Red Zone defense is skewed based on the fact that they just use (times scored/red zone drives). Most of the opponents points for LSU has come from red zone scoring. If I am not mistaken, only 11 points for LSU has been allowed out of the red zone this year.

I don't know if any of you saw it, but on Facebook they had a live chat with fans on Facebook and at Alabama. Some Alabama fan asked him how many yards will Richardson rush for. Pollack Said..."Over 88" lol. Live From Tuscaloosa
