ACC's refs are awful. Missed a blatantly awful roughing the passer and took several minutes before a flag came out.

Wtf, they're reviewing a previous play after a subsequent play occurred.

Shoulda been a turnover on downs and SC just gets 2 free plays bc ref incompetence. Geez

And SC still can't convert. Yikes all around.

Kelly is running the LSU program into the ground. Can't win openers. 4 losses on the year and losing to Southern Cal and Florida? Those are bad teams. Oof. Wasted a historic good offense with Daniels at QB last year and still had 3 losses. I knew from the second they hired this bum from Notre Dame it was the wrong move. He is clearly trending in the wrong direction.

I dont understand how UGA drops 11 spots after a road loss to a top 20 team??? Bama drops 4 or 5 (don't remember) to an unranked lower tier team.
There are other examples...too lazy to type out.

Doesn't matter, Georgia has to win out to get in. Their road schedule was pretty brutal.

Season hinges on the Tennessee game which thankfully is at home

It was obvious to almost everybody. But Kelly is only a symptom, the real problem is an athletic department that thinks Kelly is a $9 million/year coach.

Yeah, but what makes Alabama 4 spots better than Tennessee when they literally lost to them? Why did they get moved above Miami for beating literal Mercer (which doesn't totally matter at this exact point but is fucking weird as shit regardless)?

Like at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they still ended up as the 5th or 6th seed in a scenario where they don't even make the SECCG lol.

I feel like it's Groundhog Day every single CFB season when somebody complains about a team being higher ranked than another team because they beat them with the same amount of losses. Every single ranking ever has always looked at more than just head to head

Bama lost to Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Tennessee lost to Arkansas and Georgia. Bama has wins over currently ranked Georgia, South Carolina, and Mizzou. Tennessee has wins over currently ranked Bama and uhhhh gimme a minute........that's all I got

Additionally, the only team that Tennessee has beaten with a winning record as of today other than Alabama is literal FCS team Chattanooga (6-5). Every other W they have is to a .500 team or below. Also Bama's cupcake FCS team Mercer is ranked in their league at 9-2, can't say as much about Chattanooga

Every year it's the same shit when it comes to complaining about rankings jesus

MacadamianNut3 mostly beat me to it, but yeah, head to head is only one factor of several. Especially now with the large conferences and resultant uneven conference scheduling. We're all going to have to get used to a more holistic approach to rankings.

About Alabama v Tennessee specifically, Alabama has performed better over the course of the season. Both teams have a bad loss, both teams have a loss to another contender (with Tennessee looking a bit worse in their loss). Alabama has been more impressive against the mid-tier teams than Tennessee. I'm partial to using statistical rankings and it's not particularly close in that regard

Yes. The 4 highest ranked conference champs will get a 1st round bye. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where it was ranked or at No. 12 if it is outside the top 12 rankings. Non-conference champions ranked in the top four will be seeded beginning at No. 5. Because of this, the seeding, 1 through 12, could look different than the final rankings.

Yes...what a shock that an E(SEC)PN created ranking has the SEC elevated above any other ranking out there.

Connelly defines SP+ as a tempo-and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency, intended to be predictive and forward-facing. It is not a rsum ranking, and is simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football

It's basically ESPN analyst's OPINIONS on the teams.

Imagine actually using that for anything. LOL.

You have any actual rebuttal about my factual post on that specific ranking system? Would you acknowledge the worthiness of a BIG10 channel created ranking system that elevates BIG 10 teams above all other ranking systems?
