Why? The denominator at the end of the season is the same for everybody. That doesn’t make sense

They're interpreting it incorrectly-not me.
The SEC teams get a freebie win in body bag games. More wins = better records. Come on, man.
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.
That’s not the way math works on SOS. Be better.
It does because the chance of a loss goes way down. It absolutely boosts SOS.
Not if you’re Auburn…

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?
F$U slander is making me cackle
I think Manhattan answered that.
But this is about this week. And how the wording applies to FSU and Bama.
The annual evidence matches my hypothesis perfectly. But if you want to believe what they say instead, feel free.
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 evidence and decision today matches the criteria.

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.

Would Bama loss to Auburn have even made a difference in the “criteria” argument? Sounds like “protocol” still would favor Bama.
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.
There are inconsistencies in Committees because the composition is different from year to year.
I think they applied the criteria correctly this year wrt Bama and FSU.
You don’t.
That’s OK.
Which criteria specifically?
Their opponents' resumes are propped up by playing one fewer conference game. How is that hard to comprehend?
The year-end denominator remains the same because they play 12 games and all opponents are considered. Math.
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.
Losses carry a higher penalty, which you know.
Bama’s SOS was helped by UGA and Texas records.
Right. Georgia played... 8 conference games.
SOS is based on 12 games. Georgia played 9 conference games.
Bama has a better SOS than FSU.
They played nine conference games in 13 games.
Yes. You are correct.
It did not take other conferences that long to play nine conference games. Some actually played more. Are you just ****ing with me right now that you are not understanding why this benefits the SEC in a massive way?
The only "protocol" is TV ratings. CFB is now SEC and Big10. Those two conferences are where the TV ratings are at. Those two conferences are where all the money is for NIL. All the best players out of high school will be heading to these two conferences.
Looking at the top 12, FSU is the only one not in the SEC or Big10.
The parity between the P2 and the rest of the country will grow wider. This is why I believe I will probably not watch much CFB. I give zero ****s about any of the teams in these two conferences.
I would not be surprised if bowl games outside the 12-team playoffs will be terrible. If a kid has a shot at the NFL and isn't playing in the 12-team playoffs, I see no reason they wouldn't sit out and wait for draft day.
CFB is going to be drastically different over the next decade. This is the only sport I watch, and it is a pretty depressing time for me.

Gives everyone an out.
