Texas -v- Michigan in Citrus Bowl?
Califashorn75 replied to Kevin C's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Michigan is a very dirty team. Lots of late hits, and steroid induced maniacs on that team. The coach has zero control of his players' behavior or he encourages it. I worry about our players' safety against these dudes. -
Rori Harmon named AP National Player of the Week
Califashorn75 replied to Jeff Howe's topic in On Texas Football Forum
She's back. It does appear to take a year for the knee to get better. The same thing with Justice Carlton. Rori is the best point guard in the country but Aaliyah Chavez at OU is the best point guard scorer and passer. That girl is something else. -

I agree. The whole fiasco with BYU is a horrible look for PSU. -

If true Penn State should just wait and quit offering the job to Jags -

DeBoer really wants the job. They have to wait for him to play the CCG. -
I think a simple solution to how to select the playoff teams is to remove the committee all together and create a ladder point system that would rank the teams week to week (separate from the AP poll ofc). The way it could work is you only gain points if you win and the amount of points you gain is based on the quality of opponent you are playing. This system would balance out the risk/reward of scheduling tougher games. You can either gain a lot of points for a big win or get 0 points for a loss. It also would not allow teams with a soft schedule to get fewer points for wins over bad teams. The amount you win by would have no value on the amount of points you win. No more G5 teams and auto bids but instead just straight up top 12 in points move into the playoffs with the seedings in place. Conference championships could either not count because it's an extra game for only some teams or it could act as bonus points for conference winners which would all but ensure them a high ranking and a good seeding. This is system is pretty similar to the ELO system game developers use in their ladder matchmaking. It's simple, effective, transparent, and can be tracked all the way to the finish. With the number of games being such a small sample size, figuring out the quality of opponent early season would be the only thing that needs to be debated. You could still use the AP poll for this I guess since the AP poll is trying to accurately rank week to week what they believe will be the eventual rankings at the end of the year.

I agree with the quote, but their schedule was definitely weak. Their SEC wins were a combined 12-44. Their opponents this year, including us, to whom they obviously lost, were a combined 67-77. Teams they beat were a combined 58-74. They beat: Missouri (4-4; 8-4); LSU (3-5; 7-5); Florida (2-6; 4-8); Auburn (1-7; 5-7); MSST (1-7; 5-7); SoCa (1-7; 4-8); and Ark (0-8; 2-10). ND (10-2) is the only team they beat with a pulse, but ND's best win was against Pitt, so what does that say about them. Their other NC games were against UTSA (6-6), Utah ST (6-6) and Samford (1-11). Somehow, their strength of record is ranked 3rd with that schedule. I don't know how it is calculated, but that is a joke. I know your point did not involve the Aggies' schedule, but I couldn't help but push back on the idea that their schedule wasn't weak.

If byu and bama both lose then I just can't get around the fact they'll still take bama in over Texas. I don't care that it is the conf champ game. A loss is a loss as defined by the playoff committee, and they lost to fsu, who lost to Florida. Suddenly they just magically forget about that loss? I'm mind blown by that fact 🤯
