Derrick Henry...

[TheRobotDevil]

Not to mention with a running team like Stanford facing off against all these defenses set up to stop the pass.

SC spent half the game substituting and trying to match up packages. And you are right stanford lines up certain packages where they slot offensive lineman into other positions. Its not often a non PAC fan realizes that. I was impressed

Do you realize how much a single FCS game makes in a 12 game schedule?

Sorry, I just don't consider less than 10% of the schedule and 1 game/win difference to be significant in this case. If you want to go find a better method of SoS to apply to both, then be my guest. We aren't ranking teams, we are looking at 2 teams and there is a large gap.

If I go apply the same metric to the current season while ranking a bunch of teams, feel free to call me out.

Right. But, we aren't talking one game. We're talking two games, sometimes 3 against much lower competition. Sports reference has Georgia in '81 with a tougher SOS.

Really, you found a source that compares SoS from 1981 to 2015?

Pretty sure that's bullshit.

That's impossible. Everyone knows he's only in the Heisman talks because he padded his stats against FCS teams.

The SEC has defenses.

So the other 11 guise playing opposite the offense in other leagues are... ?

Playing shit like zone coverage because they lack the players to man up like a real defense.

 

[podsox]

I already told you. Everyone praises these SEC defenses as God like when the whole conference lacks an NFL QB. It's horrendous. Who is Henry going to be? The next Mark Ingram or Trent Richardson? Oh man I'm excited!

most lacked a college qb. coker was likely the 4th best qb in the conference. that says a lot

Which conference produces most NFL starting QBs?

As of last year the SEC had 1 less starting QB than the Pac12 which lead with the most.

The SEC having no quality QB's is a myth.

what does the past have to do with now? they currently have no quality qbs.

what does the past have to do with now? they currently have no quality qbs.

Then who does? As the numbers show there is no other conference actually producing so much more quality QB's. You're just repeating that same old tired myth.

3 SEC QB's in the top10 for QBR ratings this year. Big12 has 4 and the rest of the college football makes up the other 3.

as I said. coker is likely the 4th best qb in the conference. the qb play in the sec is pathetic. u have to be trolling to think the qb play in the sec was beyond pathetic this season

So Saban's rules even extend to the fan base, huh? Although clearly the fans don't have the coach-speak down quite as well.

I really have no idea what your point is.

So?

so their qb ranking is bullshit and extremely flawed. brady and cam at the middle of the pack and brian hoyer and tyrod taylor in the top 10.

Oh I see, because you don't like a few of the results in the NFL rankings, it means all the results must be bad. Because any metric that doesn't agree with you must be flawed etc and have no weight.

Sorry, I ain't that stupid. I doubt the metric is perfect, but it's not going to be wrong as a whole.
