More Whining from an SEC Coach

[4down20]

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?

Yes I looked at them. The question is - do you understand what it's saying?

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.

Where?

 

[bamabear82]

Where?

I'd like to see this too.

So the SEC is the toughest conference out there according to 4/20, even though Bama has received their worst beatdowns the last 2 years from teams outside the SEC?

The simple fact it's such a big deal when Alabama loses pretty much says it all.

5 losses in 3 years = Alabama is struggling.

Bama doesn't struggle in the SEC, just when they face teams outside the conference. But according to you, the SEC is the toughest conference in the world.....

Ole Mrs had the best scoring defense in the SEC last year, but stepped outside the conference and TCU laid waste to that defense. But SEC is still toughest conference in the world......

Yeah, giving up 87 points in the last 2 Bowl Games isn't a problem. Yawn

Alabama has lost a total of 2 games to non SEC teams since 2009.

Again, that it's such a big deal pretty much says it all.

I can't wait til Bama gets out of these dark times we're in.

No SEC RB ran for over 100 yds vs. Bama last year, but they step outside the conference and Elliott ran for 230 yds and made it look easy, yet SEC is toughest conference in the world.....

I'm guessing Oklahoma would be pretty damn happy if that was the only negative that could be said of their past 2 seasons - and you have a win over Alabama.

Yes, I read their write-up. It's an arbitrary set of rankings based off an arbitrary set of numbers. I don't get how it is relevant to the actual rankings, or how it's actually relevant to the conversations at hand.

These are all really good points.

The stats from games on the season are an arbitrary set of numbers?

Well shit.

No, the metrics they're using are arbitrary, as is their scoring system.

Well, when I did my computer rankings I did the exact same thing to the stats, and there is nothing arbitrary about it. In fact, I would say it's a basic requirement for getting good results.

Unless you believe running for 100 yards against New Mexico St is the equivilant of running for 100 yards against Alabama and think they should for some reason be treated equally.

I don't, and that is why I like advanced stats.
