More Whining from an SEC Coach

[4down20]

That wasn't his point.

Sure, any team with 8 conference games can go 2-6 in conference and go to a bowl. The real fact is that SEC schools justify their piss poor OOC schedule by talking about how grueling their conference slate is. I don't care how tough you think your schedule is, Tennessee. Beating UK and Vandy to go to a bowl after beating Chattanooga, Arkansas St., and Utah St. isn't impressive.

Please provide a list of 6-6 teams that are impressive.

What?

Yup, you read it right the first time. Season SOS between the SEC, PAC-12 and BIG-10 are pretty damn even.

Yeah, no.

There are formulas and advanced stats that prove you are completely wrong.

Those purposely designed shitfest OOC schedules, including those Nov home games against high school teams. Give it a break Gus. Your singing to the choir and your buttbuddies at ESecPN.

Yeah, no.

There are formulas and advanced stats that prove you are completely wrong.

Not to mention some mad-as-hell SEC fanboys.

Who makes these "formulas and advanced stats", that you speak of? It is your right to buy into these formulas and stats, but I don't. Maybe it all boils down to a person's opinion.

You're not looking for any old 6-6 team. We're talking about 6-6 teams that chest thump their conference, their schedule, and don't think they need to schedule teams with a pulse because they can beat 2 bottom feeders a year to make a bowl.

The astounding part? I'm convinced that some of you who fixate on the SEC actually believe this "product of ESPN" shit. You want to believe it so desperately and you get in these little threads and take some benign opinion from an SEC coach and just go insane with it. It's truly astonishing but seeing Michigan and Ohio state fans, sworn enemies unto death, embracing in passionate homo love-making in this thread is where I have to draw the line. That's just appalling! Get a room!

And I guess it's your right to just believe whatever you want because it makes you feel better. Just ignore all evidence because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Everyone else in college football however pays attention to them for good reason.

There are tons of people who do these formulas, myself included until last year. However, this is probably one of the more respected sites for advanced stats.

Fair enough, but I don't buy into this shit. You lost my respect when you stated "myself included" into your comment. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you, on which football conference has the toughest season SOS schedule. I will move on.

I lost your respect because I ran a computer poll in the past?

Pretty sure the entire Alabama fanbase was thumping their chest over that high quality win ove a head coach who hadn't won a conference game in his two years there at the time and now are talking them up as a top ten team.

Dont worry 4D20, he doesnt believe the earth is round either, still not buying into that one he says.

What coach is this and who's being touted a top 10 team. You stated the bold, so tell me who and what and i will then ask you to show me where i stated it. Go ahead, and tell us all so we can see what you're rambling on about this time.

It's all in your tiny little head, administrator.

To be fair, your "one of the more respected" site's rankings listed in that link are complete and total bullshit. Did you look at them?

To be fair Arkansas was almost a top 25 team when taking the averages of all the computer rankings. And it isn't so far fetched to consider them a top 10 team going into this season. ESPN's FPI has Arkansas at #10, and Massey's got them at #8 going into next year. And they are basically in everybody's top 25 going into next season.
