IIRC – and I was pretty drunk, admittedly – Florida had Zaire warming up early in the WLOCP, but never went to him even as Franks kept getting killed. Finally pulled the trigger late in the game when no one cared anymore. Weird.

Hooray I can root for my team again without being terrified that our coach will get an extension for no loving reason Now if only we had a QB without arms so Doug Nussmeier is unable to call pass plays behind the line of scrimmage

Hypothetical, but who do you think would end up with a higher ranking at the end of the season in this situation. Both teams go 12-0, but Team 1 has all of its opponents go 6-6. Team 2 has all of its opponents have descending wins, so they play an 11-1 team, a 10-2 team, 9-3 team, etc. down to an 0-12 team. I would think that Team 2 ends up higher because people would see the wins over the 11-1 and 10-2 team to be big wins, but Team 1 would have a higher opponent win % (0.500 vs. Team 2 at 0.458).

I mean, that's not how it works though. Opponents' wins aren't some magic collectible that the more you have the better. "Good team" is a pretty subjective measurement that is usually (but not always) assigned to teams that finish somewhere between 8-4 and 12-1. Beating twelve 6-6 teams is pretty meaningless compared to beating a handful of "good teams" and a whole bunch of bad ones.

Good wins over good teams should carry more weight than beating a crowd of mediocre teams.

Beating twelve 6-6 teams is pretty meaningless compared to beating a handful of "good teams" and a whole bunch of bad ones. Well it was just a hypothetical, and my question was more who would get the higher ranking, not necessarily which was the better team. Strength of schedule is a lot of time figured by what your opponents' win % is, so what I was trying to get at is that Team 1 would appear to have a higher strength of schedule, but never played a truly great team. I think I know the answer anyway because my question is essentially asking, what's better, be undefeated in a conference like the American, or be undefeated in a conference like the SEC, and I know what that answer would be, at least for a human voter, not sure about a computer.

D.N. Nation posted:1980 UGA was, like, the 2002 Ohio State of that era. Herschel was a bit of a surprise. Though he had been recruited heavily, Georgia hadn't wanted to bring him along that quickly. There were concerns because Johnson County is a Class A school in the middle of nowhere. Not exactly hallowed football grounds. Georgia didn't even bring him in until the second quarter against Tennessee and even then, the Vols were up 15-0 in the 3rd.

Maybe you have the 3 greatest CBs to ever play the game or maybe DBs have a much easier time when the QB doesn't have all day to pass. Stroman isn't even a great corner for us, honestly. It's the entire reasoning behind Bud Foster playing CBs on an island virtually all the time. When we have lovely lines our DBs get shredded because even good players can't play with no help forever at this level. Crotch Bat fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Stroman isn't even a great corner for us, honestly. I know. Our front 4 is really good. That said, Jackson has become really, really good at finding the ball, and young is really good at knocking it out of people's hands. Bandy is a freshman, and is the starting nickle. He's done good.

Add in his vastly improved punt return decision making this year and he's really fulfilled a lot of the promise that his athleticism brought as a freshman. He looked lost until last year, I think he's really grown a lot over his career.

Qwijib0 posted:neat! P5 steals from G5 steals from FCS/DII/DIII, I'm sure someone was already doing this last year on a lower level which means next year a few P5s will do it. It's very much like minor league sports, you have to have creative people doing creative things to make people want to come see your team play. Bigger teams see what gets viral then someone says "we can be the first in ___ to do this" and everyone is all over it. Nobody at the top is actually creative, those places thrive on the status quo because people detest change. Example: VT used to have the lamest tradition in the country, taking the break between the 3rd and the 4th to play everyone's favorite: the Hokie Pokie. It is as awful as it sounds and was lame from the day they made it so; the song obviously has nothing to do with VT outside of coincidence. They finally ended that this year (well they make the band do it at halftime which is totally appropriate) and instituted a new thing where they bring out old players/coaches and get them to try and do a back and forth cheer with the crowd. That's gone over poorly but mostly because the people they asked are old, lack emotion, and timing. It's been good like twice because the people involved were good at it but most of the fans hate it and want the Hokie Pokie back which is, of course, loving stupid. The fanbase prides themselves on having arguably the best entrance in the country and is generally known for being loud and raucous but they desperately want to hold onto the Hokie Pokie because again, change. How you can watch Wisconsin pump House of Pain during their 4th quarter break and say "nah, let's do this boring song and ask people to dance like they're in kindergarten" is beyond me.
