Well before my time but damn if it doesn’t resonate across all eras.

Yup

Pavia finished the year extremely strong and without him I'm guess Vandy wins 4 or 5 games

Id vote him #1

This. But he doesn’t have the branding or the appropriate profile so all of that will get overlooked.

CFP/FIFA/Olympic Figure Skating judges

All exactly the same. No difference. None.
The replies in this thread are pure gold. Keep ‘em coming.

I have no idea why vandy is behind notre and Miami. Someone tell me 2 teams with the same record, and tougher schedule, is behind them?

Brand, image, etc.

Just a beauty contest with judges having their pet favorites decided beforehand.

Absolutely mesmerizing outro from the album version.

My two favorite outros, from wildly different genres.
quote:

I call this the Mississippi state syndrome. When you beat ranked teams but it’s not considered a ranked win because they drop out of rankings after losing to you

Spot on. Perception not agreeing with reality.
The B-side to “William, It Was Really Nothing”. I love the A-side but if there’s a B-side that dwarfs the A-side more than “How Soon Is Now?” does, I’d like to know.

But he is a coach who gained his position by using a relatively uncommon scheme. That works for a while, until enough opponents take it seriously and devote time to stopping it, and then it becomes less effective.


This. Vandy made 2nd half adjustments and completely shut down Heupel’s offense. If Vandy can do it with their relatively weak secondary, anyone can do it.

Committee showed their hands by ranking ND too high before things played out.

This. The rankings and committee are no different than Olympic figure skating judges upvoting their favorites. Just recognize it for what it really is.
Trashy Cincy fans. It’s in their DNA. They can’t help themselves.
That’s a fumble. Idiot ref whistle stopped a scoop and score.

So sad. He was a huge reason why Denver upset Seattle in that historical 1994 playoff series.

NBA players make way too much money and have such favorable contracts to ever mess with illegal gambling. It’s insane.


Blackmail or other external threats are possible factors as well. It’s not always about a bump in money.
