Wouldn’t have thought this to be the case

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

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.

Why does the NCAA basketball committee put in 10 loss teams over 6 loss teams?
It’s because they understand who you played in the regular season matters.

re: Tell me about Clemson
Posted by Toneski on 12/20/24 at 6:02 pm
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.
re: Who actually deserved to be in the playoffs? Bama, Ole Miss or USCe.

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.

re: I tried to tell y’all the committee cares more about quality wins

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.
re: Crazier things have happened: Does SC have a shot?
Posted by Toneski on 11/19/24 at 11:42 pm
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
Posted by Toneski on 11/17/24 at 4:08 pm
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),”

re: Diego and NCAA
Posted by Toneski on 11/8/24 at 8:21 pm
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.

Yep, Juice apparently got a rent free condo, tricked out golf cart and NIL cash, all while not playing. I have a hard time believing that players who are working the NIL system like that are being studious about their classes.
I can’t help but wonder how low Ole Miss’s standards must be to accept these “student” athletes that likely have transcripts full of “incomplete” and/or “F” for class grades.
UK baseball team damaged Columbia hotel
Posted by Toneski on 5/1/24 at 8:49 am
Had a meeting in a conference room at a Holiday Inn Express in downtown Columbia, SC on Monday. Hotel apologized that the a/c was broken. They said the UK baseball team had stayed there over the weekend and did damage to the hotel after their series loss to SC….one of which was the a/c in the conference room.
re: ESPN trying to engineer FSU and Clemson to the SEC
Posted by Toneski on 4/11/24 at 7:51 pm
As Gamecock, I used to be strongly against Clem joining the SEC, but at this point, college athletics is a shiteshow and hardly anything makes sense anymore. So I don’t really care.
But, the positive of Clem joining the SEC is that they’re gonna have 2-3 losses most every year and won’t have a cakewalk to 12 team playoff like they would if they stayed in the ACC.

re: Auburn is the least diverse of any school in P5...
Posted by Toneski on 3/28/24 at 5:44 pm
One of you UTA guys can correct me if I’m wrong but a buddy of mine lives in Dallas and told me UTA has a rule for admission that an applicant must finish at least in the top 10% of graduating class.
This means that a student at a prestigious private school with a 1400 SAT and a 3.8 gpa who finishes outside of top 10% of class would not be eligible for admission, but a student graduating from a poorly rated inner city school with a 900 SAT and a 3.0 gpa who finishes in top 10% of class would be eligible for admission.
This is the rule that helps UTA be more diverse. It’s also the rule that denied my friend’s daughter (white) with such private school credentials from being admitted to UTA. She ended up going to Notre Dame, so she’s fine…..but that rule is one of the reasons UTA is so diverse.

We can keep following this rabbit hole and ask…..
Since kids are now getting paid to play, they are professionals, so what prevents an NFL player who has been cut from his team, from coming back to college and playing and getting paid?
