re: After what Cignetti has done, there is no excuse for any coach anywhere to not win
Posted by Toneski on 12/6/25 at 11:04 pm to theballguy
I think you’re missing my point - how many times have you heard coaches say, we need better facilities, better talent, more money for NIL, etc, etc. Now any excuse a coach gives for not winning, all anyone has to do is point to Cignetti/Indiana. If someone can win there, a coach can surely win at any SEC school.

I think Cignetti is why so many coaches got fired mid-season this year. When Cignetti is winning at friggin Indiana with a nobody roaster, other schools now know it’s not roster, facilities or tradition that’s keeping them from winning, it’s crappy coaching……and they’re not wasting time hoping their guy gets better.
It was a great year to be a good coach in the SEC because good coaches had great seasons. It doesn’t mean these good coaches are great coaches, but the fact so many SEC coaches were fired mid-season means a lot of SEC teams sucked. So good coaches looked great this season.
Would love to see the melt if Lane gets an NFL offer in the next few weeks

LSU just got into a relationship with the hot hairstylist in the “Hot Crazy Matrix” of women. LSU may end up with their car keyed and their pet rabbit in a boiling pot of water.
Lane DGAS about burning down a program and LSU better hope he doesn’t get and NFL offer between now and end of January.

Goodman must have forgotten how many coaches Bama went through between Bryant and Saban…..none of those coaches between Bryant and Saban found it easy. He also must have forgotten that Bama hiring Saban was a desperate move after Rich effin Rodriguez and Spurrier turned them down.
Bama is an average program unless they can hire the greatest to ever coach the game.

Conferences need to agree on an algorithm with a SOS emphasis, then let AI pick the teams
Posted by Toneski on 12/21/24 at 1:09 pm
Without SOS being a major factor, why would any team play tough P5 opponents…..it’s pointless from a playoff perspective.
The committee is human and therefore incapable of accurately determining SOS. Ditch the committe and turn this over to a computer/AI.

ESPN, etal, who are paying big money to televise this garbage will force a change
Posted by Toneski on 12/21/24 at 12:56 pm
TV wanted a 12 team playoff and we got it, and TV will want better matchups next year. That likely means this format gets changed by next year and we don’t have to wait until 2026.

It’s because they understand who you played in the regular season matters.

If SOS isn’t given more weight next year it’s a travesty
Clemson is one of the few schools who has a tradition of allowing fans on the field after the game ends. This can be traced back to at least the 70’s when this tradition allowed the fans to give players $100 handshakes.

Those saying SC shouldn’t be ranked above teams they lost to, then why was Tennessee ranked below Bama after losing their 2nd game (to Georgia) even though they had beaten Bama weeks prior? Both Bama and UT had 2 losses at the time.
Apparently, it’s when you lose in season that matters. We’ve always known this. I don’t know why people suddenly think a team can’t be ranked above a team it lost to - it’s happened thousands of times in the past.

Is someone in here at the game and posting in the game thread?
SCAR has 2 ranked wins, TAMU and Mizzou. If SCAR beats Clem and Mizzou stays ranked, SCAR will have 3 ranked wins on the season.
I think the more SEC teams with 3 losses the better for SC. So,
OM loss to UF
UT loss to Vandy
Bama loss to OU or AU
TAMU loss to AU or TX
Those all have a better than 20% chance of happening.
Then SC also needs the obvious losses by those OOC schools ahead them.
Something a lot of people don’t realize tho, is that the Committee gives weight to Top 25 wins and also bad losses. A Top 25 win only counts week to week, so it doesn’t matter what the opponent was ranked when you beat them, it matters what they’re ranked now. A bad loss is a loss to a team that is sub .500.
Cocks need Mizzou, TAMU and Clem to stay ranked and be ranked at end of season and it would be great if Vandy could win out and work themselves back into the Top 25. That’s potentially four Top 25 wins. Worst LSU can finish is 6-6 so Cocks won’t have any bad losses.

Crazy stat about Beamer vs some big name coaches

Per 247’s Brad Crawford:
“Since the start of the 2022 season, Shane Beamer has six wins over Top 25 teams at South Carolina. That's more than … Ryan Day (5), Lane Kiffin (5), Brian Kelly (4), Lincoln Riley (4), James Franklin (3), Mike Norvell (3),”

Saw this coming also. Just like there is no law that would prevent someone from going to college for 30 years, there is no legal reason, other than an NCAA rule, that should prevent someone from playing college football for 15-20 years.
The NCAA, to my knowledge, has lost every one of these student athlete cases that have gone to trial. There is no reason to believe the NCAA won’t lose this one.
Think about a kid making $100k a year in NIL money but who isn’t good enough to be guranteed that he will make an NFL team. He “works” 5 months a year playing college football. Why should he be forced to give that up and then have to take a job making $50k a year working 12 months a year?
College football is about to get even weirder, and we havent even gotten to the point where guys that have been cut from NFL teams sue to go back and play more college ball.
