Why? The denominator at the end of the season is the same for everybody. That doesn’t make senseIn that case, a great benefit of an 8-game conference schedule for the SEC.
SP+ is a bit different too.

They're interpreting it incorrectly-not me.The Committee does not see SOS and key player availability like you. The key player availability is about impact on postseason. I think you are interpreting it incorrectly. They use SOS date not eyeballs like you.
Thanks for doing the exercise.

It’s not about reward for previous games. It’s about impact on future post season games. It clearly says the latter, not the former.They're interpreting it incorrectly-not me.
That’s not the way math works on SOS. Be better.The SEC teams get a freebie win in body bag games. More wins = better records. Come on, man.

Not if you’re Auburn…It does because the chance of a loss goes way down. It absolutely boosts SOS.
If its about impact on future games, how does Florida State go up a spot (from 5 to 4) last week? Shouldnt they have dropped again because of the Rodemaker injury?It’s not about reward for previous games. It’s about impact on future post season games. It clearly says the latter, not the former.
Will await your scramble out of this one. You are a good debater.
I think Manhattan answered that.If it’s about impact on future games, how does Florida State go up a spot (from 5 to 4) last week? Shouldnt they have dropped again because of the Rodemaker injury?
The annual evidence matches my hypothesis perfectly. But if you want to believe what they say instead, feel free.That’s cute. But not what it says.
Yes. There is a chance of a loss. That affects your resume but not your SOS.It does because the chance of a loss goes way down. It absolutely boosts SOS.
The evidence and decision today matches the criteria.The annual evidence matches my hypothesis perfectly. But if you want to believe what they say instead, feel free.
I appreciate the committee making their criteria public, but they're all over the place with how they use it. You and I aren't going to agree here.I think Manhattan answered that.
But this is about this week. And how the wording applies to FSU and Bama.
Would Bama loss to Auburn have even made a difference in the “criteria” argument? Sounds like “protocol” still would favor Bama.I think Manhattan answered that.

My point is that the criteria are set up to ensure that at least one SEC team gets in. The winner of that game was never being left out. The rest is just a long way of explaining it.The evidence and decision today matches the criteria.
There are inconsistencies in Committees because the composition is different from year to year.I appreciate the committee making their criteria public, but they're all over the place with how they use it. You and I aren't going to agree here.
The great thing with this is this time next year we're going to be debating fringe teams like we do every March. The funny thing with this is one of the "alliance" leagues got ****ed here.
Which criteria specifically?My point is that the criteria are set up to ensure that at least one SEC team gets in. The winner of that game was never being left out. The rest is just a long way of explaining it.
Yes. There is a chance of a loss. That affects your resume but not your SOS.
SOS is based on your opponents resume, not your resume.
I’ve not seen a single service that has FSU’s SOS close to Bama’s.
The year-end denominator remains the same because they play 12 games and all opponents are considered. Math.Their opponents' resumes are propped up by playing one fewer conference game. How is that hard to comprehend?

It’s quibbling around the edges.
The FSU SOS is substantially worse than Bama’s by all the services I saw today. FSU’s QB1 is out. The Committee applied the criteria correctly this year.
Bama’s SOS was helped by UGA and Texas records.Losses carry a higher penalty, which you know.

SOS is based on 12 games. Georgia played 9 conference games.Right. Georgia played... 8 conference games.

Bama has a better SOS than FSU.
Yes. You are correct.They played nine conference games in 13 games.
Yes. You are correct.
Gives everyone an out.Why would criteria not be weighted?
