Really? If anything I'm more interested since I can't do a lot of things I used to do.
I always wonder with people like this....what happened to make him like this? And if they know there are people that can help them?....I feel bad for him, it's sad. constantly negative, clearly struggles holding down a job, some sort of anger issue, low self esteem. Something happened to him somewhere along the line.
TV ratings have plummeted for nearly every sporting event in 2020, which I agree is the opposite of what I would have guessed. Turns out having fans in the stands actually does have a major impact on the entertainment factor.
A lot of that can be attributed to everyone competing for eyeballs at the same time. Sports seasons are usually staggered.
I always thought the CFP committee was the "committee that chose.
Transparency usually take a back seat to bribes, pay offs and "tradition" resulting in bias. Because when you start the season with the premise that Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson are the best of the best(rankings)......then the rest of college football is playing catch up from jump. And like I have said.....then these "metrics" come in to play and they can be twisted to justify anything so to make sure getting those teams their spots if they slip.
Alabama is always going to be first choice in September regardless. When have they not started in the top 4? They have to play their way out and then......there is usually two or three more SEC teams in the top 10-15 to rise up and take their place so at least one spot is always guaranteed for the SEC.
Well they did this year. And "data" being massaged in their favor is exactly why they did. You can bend and twist data all you want........they still just played 6 games. You stick to the written rule(absolutes).......they aren't sniffing the CFP this year.
We beat UNI by 40 at home and lose to OU by 2 on the road we are 1-1. Our chances of making the playoffs are all but over. Alabama beats Furman by 40 at home and losses to Auburn by 2 on the road......they're still in the hunt because somehow either Auburn is ranked right behind them or the rivalry is just so tough. Those would be considered the "numbers".
Agree, I don't like it personally but they earned it. What drives me crazy is players talking trash when they make a tackle after a 20 yard gain - get a sack or TFL ok but after a big gain just move on to the next play.
The numbers for the Big 12 Championship game were....not great.
What's funny about the missing players excuse is, OU is undefeated with a fully eligible team. If the RB and Perkins play all year, maybe they are in the playoff. Perkins playing/not playing made our 2 games with them different. They were a team with higher playoff aspirations than Florida preseason, they still found a way to care about the Cotton bowl, new year, same excuses from the SEC.
College sports need another one or two legitimate networks to provide a counterbalance to the ESPN narrative. I always hated ESPN getting control of most of the bowl games - I loved having multiple games going on at the same time so you could chose a more contested game rather than last night having only OU kick the crap out of the Gators.
There is a difference between getting beat soundly because you are missing people and getting curb stomped. If you put a full strength OU and Florida against each other next week I think OU wins by close to 20.
OU could have put up a lot more and Florida really only scored 13. It wasn’t as close as the score suggests and they still won by 30.
In my opinion it's way more COVID and we less about the system.
I'm all for a 6 or 8 team playoff, but absent of that the NY6 bowls will be a big draw in normal years. This isn't one of those years.
I'm old school like @Blandboy but I even pointed this out to Mrs. Velo early in the second half. I'm not a big fan of rubbing your opponent's face in it, but when a defensive player finally breaks up a pass after getting burned again and again and he has to do a celebratory dance after wagging his finger at the entire stadium in my opinion you get what is coming to you when the other team does the same thing to you - again and again and again... If you are getting beat by more than two scores, maybe quell that celebration just a little bit and channel that energy into getting your ass back into the game.
When one team is just taking care of business and the other team is all trash talk I don't like it. When you have a Florida team and OU who both do this all the time who effing cares?
OU put up 55 and Rattler and many of the starters only played 2.5 quarters.
I believe the defense had one opt out. Name me a bowl team that doesn’t have a couple starters out due to injury or opt out.
UF is an absolutely trash defense, and OU could about name their score.

OU has a great coach. UF has an inbred turd.
