College Football Playoff selection committee changes how it views strength of schedule

The College Football Playoff selection committee will put greater emphasis on strength of schedule in determining the field for the upcoming season.

---

quote:

---

For the 2025 season, the schedule strength metric has been adjusted to apply greater weight to games against strong opponents. Also being introduced is the record strength metric, which goes "beyond a team’s schedule strength to assess how a team performed against that schedule."

---

quote:

---

In the new metric, teams will be rewarded for defeating high-quality opponents and they won't be penalized heavily for losing such games. Conversely, teams will have minimal rewards for defeating low-quality teams but will be soundly penalized for losing such games.

---

This was announced right before the SEC schedule announcement. This was the last thing the SEC was waiting on to go to the 9 game schedule.

If I remember correctly they ran this quickly which left the freshman TE who can't block on the right side and he essentially whiffed on the block.

---

This. Pimpton whiffed the block on 3rd down which allowed USC to crash off the edge and make the play in the backfield. Pimpton made a 14yrd catch on 2nd and 15 but because we went tempo on 3rd&1, he was still on the field and was responsible for sealing the edge. He's got to make that block, but whoever made the call to go tempo on 3rd (either Nuss or coaching staff) mismanaged the situation. If it was Nuss, Sloan needs to be in his ear telling him to hold up because we didn't have the right personnel, or they misplaced their faith in Pimpton's ability to seal the edge. Ultimately the fault lies on the coaching, IMO.

Pimpton didn't see the field last year because he couldn't block and we heard in the offseason about him making strides in that department, but clearly he's still not there yet.

ever heard of rhett lowder?

Maason Smith will start. Should be all you need to know

By the time he is a JR he will be an elite TE in my opinion!

Heck the way Kelly emphasizes the TE position, he's going to be a stud for the rest of his career at LSU. He's already an integral part of the offense at 18yo.

His dad obviously has to be loving it and that kind of pub with former NFL players (especially ones that previously didn't have a connection to LSU) is going to pay dividends for us in the future.

i hate the term 'young core'

Do you even read what you type? Or do you actually feel that way?

You agree that he decided to completely change his stance and throw his support behind a rapist who attacked a police officer with a knife (historical facts).

Drew Brees has significant influence. He was presented with this “issue” in a heated and polarizing political climate. He could have easily stood on his own principals and made an actual impact in this world. Instead he decided that winning more fricking games of a meaningless sport is more important.

You’re the problem too.
