8 hours ago8 hr A new metric would not have been added unless it helped the SEC and ESPN while hurting the rest of college football.
8 hours ago8 hr "...new metric would not have been added unless it helped the SEC and ESPN.."The SEC would not have announced they were going to 9 conference games in the near future without it.
7 hours ago7 hr Moderator There should be a base metric for opponent win percentage involved. If it is just based on rankings then the SEC beating it’s own over ranked teams will always inflate it’s own rankings.Official rankings should also have nothing to do with pre or early season rankings for the same reasons. If your entire conference is all preseason ranked them somebody will always be beating a ranked team. By seasons end those early season ranked wins won’t mean much if those loosing teams fade throughout the season.
7 hours ago7 hr Hence the B1G wanting to expand the playoff to 20+.Sounds absurd on the surface (to me at least), but professional sports leagues typically put around 35 - 40% of their teams into their playoff. Split off 60-70 teams into the new top division, and yep, 40% of 60 would be a 24 team playoff. Edited 7 hours ago7 hr by JabbaNoBargain
7 hours ago7 hr We take care of business and we'll be fine. If we end up with two losses, with our schedule I can totally understand the argument we have no business in the playoff. We really won't have any excuses. Just let the season play out.
