The AAC game was fun.  Not sure anyone cared about the MWC game.  I guess Boise can play some MAC school at home in the Potato Bowl now.

I guess rooting for Duke and BYU to shake things up?  Big Ten and SEC games are irrelevant

No football for me today. At least not until the Big Ten CCG this evening. Invited to a seven hour 'networking event.' I don't think I'll miss not getting to watch the day games; none looked too exciting. Seems like we're watching Georgia Vs Alabama in Atlanta every year.

I just dislike vague statements and would love to know the break-even point.

Georgia is now 1-1 vs Alabama this year.

I don't really care if Bama gets into the CFP or not.  I'm far more concerned with letting in garbage G5 teams with literally no shot.

as for Bama's resume........
Georgia is a good win and a good loss
Oklahoma is a good loss
FSU is a bad loss

as for Texas..........
Ohio St & Georgia are good losses
Florida is a bad loss
A&M & OU are good wins
Title: Re: A Rumspringa in Fansville (CCG SOC)
Post by: OrangeAfroMan on December 06, 2025, 08:22:23 PM
Right, it's not some tragedy if one is chosen over the other, their resumes are fairly even.

They both have a loss vs a sub-.500 team.
They both got blown out by Georgia.
Texas beat A&M, Bama beat Georgia.
They both beat Vandy.

As a person who doesn't care either way, Texas supporters are wanting that loss to OSU to do A LOT of heavy lifting for them.  Also, Texas seems to be playing better late in the year than early in the year, which used to matter A LOT more, back in the day.  WHEN you lost was even more important than WHO you lost to, back pre-BCS.  

But we've been told that's no longer the case.  The whole season resume is taken into account now, as it grows.  I thought we were past those days of a "hot" 2-loss USC or Georgia or CU (2001) team getting support to be elevated come bowl season.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter which, if either gets in.  They're not winning it.  They're not elite.  We're talking about teams hovering at or below 10th.  They're not bonafide.  They're no prize.  So why the big hullabaloo??

3 losses in 13 games is better than 3 losses in 12, isn't it?  Let me get a calculator.
If it was anyone besides Bama, would everyone be complaining so much?

Texas is out. The question is Miami, ND, or Bama. Two will make it. Miami and ND would be favored over Bama and have a better record and neither has lost by more than one score but we have to give charity to the SEC teams.

idk, if the helmets traded resumes, I doubt people would be clamoring for Bama to get in over Texas.  The hate/jealousy is deep with the masses.

If the Horns made it to Atlanta to get their 3rd loss vs a top-5 team they already beat, people would be defending them to be in.  
Because they weren't Bama, lol.
