I’d Like to Buy a Copy of That

What I wouldn’t give to know what’s inside this.

At the crux of this is Sankey’s position that the CFP Committee’s criteria needs to be clearer (hey, televising the meetings would go a long way in that, wouldn’t it?) as the original playoff criteria formulated in 2014 wouldn’t taken strength of schedule into account.

You said a mouthful there, Greg. The selection weeks were mind-bogglingly frustrating to process, mainly because they didn’t make sense and even more unusual was the committees commitment to keeping Ohio State alive even after losing to Michigan, remaining steadfast that Ohio State had a quality loss and a singular quality win…but doesn’t strength of opponent, and, hence, the strength of the schedule, get determined in the same manner?

Make it make sense.

Anyway, one Twixer was kind enough to share the data:

The SEC only having two teams outside the top 50 across multiple metrics is something to behold. Also makes one wonder why the ACC even gets considered at all.

  1. I get the scheduling argument. I don’t think anyone in their right mind believes the Big 10 is as deep as the SEC. All they think is 9>8; therefore, the Big 10 schedules are equitable.

    The only reason I want 9 is that saves the “secondary” rivalries as annual games. Based on some of the talk, it now seems the SEC is willing to give up the play in every stadium in a 4-year period in an 8-game schedule. The SEC had to see the ratings for some of those secondary rivalry games and think, “Maybe Georgia doesn’t need to go to Starkville every 4 years if we’re going to lose the ratings bonanza of the DSOR.” Any conference that has Texas and Texas A&M in its conference shouldn’t say, “That game is secondary and doesn’t need to be played every year.”

    • Other than the members of the b10. Who now after b2b championships consider these selves the premier conference in CFB. Please don’t use facts these are about their feelings.

      You can’t have a reasonable discussion with that conference. As I’ve often stated here their greed is only exceeded by their arrogance of self superiority.

  2. While they do act like whores, unlike a prostitute they can only sell their wares (the 9th league game) once. So they’re sitting on it until the number from Mickey is so ridiculously high they can’t refuse. Sankey will probably retire soon after and leave it to the next bunch of whores to figure out the next big money grab.

  3. Maybe the SEC can put out a study that water is wet.
    Newsflash: the turds that believe the 16th Seed deserves to win the Natty don’t trouble themselves with knowing what the SEC even is. Post-season football is for the losers of the world that want to see the best lose.
