Numbers Don't Lie, MW-Mountain > SEC-East

[whyoh]

The SEC East is rated worse than a Mountain West division -- seriously

How bad has the SEC East become? According to S&P efficiency ratings by SB Nation's Bill Connelly, the Mountain West's Mountain Division is stronger than the SEC East in 2016.

That's not a misprint. A division with Wyoming, Boise State, New Mexico, Colorado State, Air Force and Utah State is considered better than a division with Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Missouri and Vanderbilt....

The numbers are there for yer own eyes

The Mountain West mountain division is in fact better than the SEC East LOL

How many teams in that division have losses to Conference USA teams? 2 or 3? Conference USA is the worst conference in college football

 

[Shanemansj13]

TEAM SEC! TEAM SEC!

@HammerDown is crying at his overrated conference. This division is a disgrace to all of college football.

Did you actually read the article you posted ?

The premise of the article is that since the SEC West won the SEC CG so many times lately against the SEC East opponent, that means the SEC East is not any good.


That is just silly. The teams that moron sited in the SEC East haven't played against the MW teams have they ?

So they are comparing apples to oranges and nothing more.

...Check out Connelly's division rankings. The numbers are the adjusted scoring margin, which evaluates how teams in those divisions would have performed in a given week if playing an average team. In other words, the SEC West is on average 15.1 points better than the average division.

Division Avg. Adjusted Scoring Margin*
1......SEC West...........+15.1
2......ACC Atlantic.......+9.5
3......Big Ten East.......+9.2
4......ACC Coastal.......+5.7
5......Pac-12 North......+5.6
6......Pac-12 South......+5.5
7......Big Ten West......+3.1
8......MWC Mountain...+2.5
9......SEC East............+1.7
T10..AAC West...........+0.4
T10..MAC West..........+0.4
12....AAC East.............-0.1
13....C-USA East.........-6.7
14....C-USA West........-7.1
15....MWC West.........-8.7
16....MAC East...........-11.9
* Ratings via SB Nation's Bill Connelly

Translation: The SEC East is nearly closer to the worst division in football (MAC East) than it is to the best (SEC West). Ouch....

i read it, did you?

This does nothing to prove that the MW Mountain division isn't better than the SEC East

It is a fact you are living in a world where a division in the Mountain West is better than a division in the SEC, best get used to it

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

How many MW teams played against a SEC East team this season ?

None, and from the looks of it our non-conference record would have been better had we gotten the opportunity to beat some SEC East teams

Thread Fail !

You want a cookie for previous years LOL

 

[Great Dayne]

I think Wyoming and Boise St. would win that division but I'm not sure the rest of those teams would win very much in the SEC.

Listen to this dumbass.

The MW has played no SEC East teams this year. So how can one say they are better than any team they have not played.

The numbers used are silly.

Well derpa derp, since more SEC East teams have worst records after playing in conference, The MW is better since they have a better record against the cupcakes on their schedule.

You do recognize the folly of that right ?

 

[cmc_rebar]

Hell, I can't even name the teams in the mt west, so it's not like they are important to CFB


As far as being better than aSEC east this year, congrats on being a taller midget​

SEC East teams lost out of conference also. LOL you used the word folly.

Fact is these numbers do not lie, you're just going to have to accept it or stubbornly pound your head against the wall until you do.
