SEC Wilting Under the Weight of Alabama Greatness

[Wamu]

At any rate

How about 6.5%?

 

[Wamu]

The Gators are a way better program.

Please be serious.

The only way the Gators are better program than the Tide is on your video game system.

I was wondering when this years version of the bleeding pussy thread would show. Same tune year after year.

...so, a thread describing 'Bama's dominance is declared a bleeding pussy thread by a bammer.

Seems like this happens before rivalry week. hmmmm

Other conferences should take notice and follow the SEC lead. I do not like it at all for the record. I wish the SEC did play 9 conference games, but they do not. So why does it matter when you play a cupcake... It is smart scheduling if you ask me....

But you have a vagina, so you would naturally think it was "smart scheduling". Evading competition is known in ManLand as being a pussy. You have one, so you can relate.

Most of the posters here pee whilst standing tho...

Maybe your take would be hotter on Pinterest?

The way you are bitching at my post makes me think you pee sitting down, either that or your wife still has your balls in her purse...

Vegas puts out strength rankings?

Link?

"When there's hard cash involved in our world, it removes the nuances. You really have to be accurate. Vegas assessments are all analytically grounded. But the difference between a good and a great oddsmaker -- there's an art form to it.

"These other metrics [the committee uses], they can be cute, but it doesn't mean they're accurate."

Chris Andrews, sports book director at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and a Pittsburgh native, also does not have Penn State in his top 10. Andrews' top 15 power rankings:

1. Alabama; 2. Ohio State; 3. Louisville; 4. Washington; 5. Michigan; 6. Wisconsin; 7. Southern California; 8. Clemson; 9. Louisiana State; 10. Oklahoma; 11. Penn State; 12. Washington State; 13. Colorado; 14. Florida State; 15. Stanford.

Thats the closest I can get to what they rank the teams. The sharps dont make money putting it online. But if you know enough betters you know what teams they have as the ones they would favor on a neutral field. Right now USC is anywhere from 6th to 8th. If you don't know that then you don't know Vegas. USC and LSU would be a close spread if not even. Both have improved after changes.

So you are quoting rankings that don't actually exist.

Got it.

Smart because it gives the teams in that conference an edge since they all can play another Chattagooga and one less game against a conference foe. Smart if your fans dont care they have to pay to see your team have a scrimmage against Chattanooga in November.
I'd rather have the possibility of a decent game than play Azuza Pacific in November for an easy win. Plenty of better things to do here if thats what we were given.

I guess you missed this;

So why does it matter when you play a cupcake...

It matters for a couple of reasons. One, cupcakes are typically within the first game or 2 of the season when teams are getting started, working out kinks, and many haven't even started running their full offensive and defensive systems yet. They are essentially, scrimmages for the top teams.

Many teams in the SEC schedule 2 or 3 cupcakes at the beginning of the season and one towards the end of the season while other conferences are playing conference opponents and/or rivalry games. So, while other teams are putting their records and rankings at risk, SEC teams are taking a break.

Imo, all of this "my conference is better than your conference" stuff is a bunch of nonsense anyway. How can you determine that one conference is better than another when they aren't playing by the same rules?

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Shouldn't' you be getting ready for that epic Chattanooga game? The tailgating must kick up a notch with the Fighting Mocs in town.

Just another game on the schedule. I expect them to score more than 6 points.

Yep, thats the only comments in here, bama's dominance.

You must be excited to watch a team that will score more than LSU. LOL

I agree. It is looking like the best way to deal with the CFP rankings is to bank good wins early while you are healthy and then play easier ones later on. Flip flop the schedule: CG, CG, CG bye, CG, CG, CG, bye, CG, CG, easy OOC, easy OOC and easy OOC, CCG. See if the committee drops you for three late season OOC cupcakes.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

And USC. LOL.

So you got some guys personal power rankings.

And they are shit.

Louisville #3? Washington ahead of Michigan? USC ahead of Clemson? etc.

 

[trojanfan12]

And USC. LOL.

At least we outscored LSU tho.

So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

See your logic is flawed. You are assuming most bama "fans" on this board actually go to games or have been to a game. They don't care.
