Oh well. Now we get all the sports writers jerking themselves off about Wisconsin. Now watch us get paired with UCF.

At least now I can focus back on the hockey team since the basketball team turned into a tire fire the size of Knoxville right now. Until the bowl anyway.

OperaMouse posted:Why does Bama have more rights than Wisconsin? They both lost to the only decent team they played, but undefeated otherwise. At least the Badgers lost to a 2 loss team instead of a 3 one, and made it to its conference final. Because ~Alabama~. That's it.

Hmmmm... Alabama played a soft as gently caress schedule and lost against its only competition. So did Wisconsin.

Crotch Bat posted:UGA and Clemson's fanbases were identical until last year because it was two groups of people huffing fumes on the success of what happened 30 years ago. Bama is Bama. OU isn't even in the same stratosphere as the other three. Three words: Big Game Bob. Also, credit to OU, they transitioned pretty well, though you can argue that it was on Stoops' recruiting.

an adult beverage posted:Not to get all Karl Marx in here but the "alcohol only in suites" thing is such classist bullshit. "The filthy cheap seat plebs can't have any alcohol lest they create a ruckus". Not realizing everybody is getting loaded in the parking lot or smuggling it in. I think it's more "they can get it catered in" more than anything.

Navy is Under Armor, but agreed. They do some really good work. The shine has faded from the game in the national spotlight, but for them it means a lot.

 But why do I get a feeling that nothing ultimately will happen. Oh right, the endless other cases where nothing has ultimately happened until it became an epidemic on campus.

YOLOsubmarine posted:I’d say that by the NCG they were most definitely better. LSU needed a bunch of help from special teams miscues and heroic defensive plays to eek out a 3 point overtime win in the first game. Sometimes better teams lose to worse teams. And here lies the problem. The BCS was a step in the metaphorical right direction. So is the 4-team playoff. But right now we have an undefeated UCF and a Wisconsin team that only lost to Ohio State. Alabama didn't even win its conference. The selection is a black box by design, as was the BCS. The committee looks at the teams and decides who would get the best ratings. That's why Alabama got in in the first place, ratings. Nothing more, nothing less. They played NO ONE this season. The SEC was a flaming pile of trash this year except Bama, Auburn, and UGA. It's very telling that ESPN quickly dropped the bowl record narrative as a sign of strength when the SEC started sucking in the bowls.

Oh, and Wisconsin beat Miami at their home. Big Ten only lost one bowl game. The SEC will have a losing record. And Group of Five teams won't get scheduled because Power 5 teams are afraid of unearthing the next Boise State.

Crotch Bat posted:Be super glad D3 isn't FBS and Mount Union isn't Bama. The stranglehold they've had on D3 for 25 loving years is nothing short of amazing or hatefully absurd depending on whether you're a UMU fan or not. Imagine if Bama ruled like this for almost 3 decades and won titles literally half the time. Oh gods, yeah, UMU is worse (UW-Whitewater was the only team that seems to have given them a challenge). The only thing they have on Bama is they don't have the insufferable fanbase.

Raku posted:A big issue was also UCF's schedule. Yeah, they're a group of five team, but their power 5 opponents were Georgia Tech (a game which was cancelled) and Maryland. So they were undefeated but never had a chance to show how good they were versus top 10 competition, which is definitely more important if you're a group of five team that loving sucked very recently. In contrast, Auburn had two drat losses but almost got into the playoff because they would have beaten the #1 team in the country twice in a row The problem is with a G5 that's known to be good becomes a double edged sword. They want to schedule P5 teams that are perceived as good, but no one wants to play you because the P5 doesn't want to end up getting beat by a G5 team.

vikingstrike posted:If the NCAA ignores what UCF is doing, then I think it will exist only for goons to troll UGA/Bama fans, etc. The official record will almost certainly be the playoff winner, with UCF maybe added as a note. The NCAA doesn't actually sanction the playoff. It never even sanctioned the BCS.
