Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

When did "Win-loss vs fpi top 40" become a playoff metric?

    It's almost like the rankings are entirely subjective.

    SRS has Alabama #1 and the SEC as the #1 conference. It has 7 teams in the top 25. Pac-12 has only 4 teams in the top 29. SRS is an objective rating system. There have been plenty of years where it has had the Pac-12 as the best conference and not the SEC like 2013 for example.

    Furthermore, look at the two metrics Football Outsiders combines to rate how efficient teams are. Alabama is #1 with a healthy lead over #2. Again the SEC has 7 teams in the top 25 with the Pac-12 having only 3 in the top 28.

    Here is the conclusion: Alabama is clearly #1. SEC is the clear best conference again but will only get one team in the playoff.

    Puppy never responds to my post on this because he can't. There is no objective or reasonable way to argue against this.

    I'm only counting 6 and 1 in the top 10.

    The SEC is not clearly the best conference anymore. Both Sagarin Predictor and SRS have 6 SEC teams in the top 25. Both have the Big 12 with 5 in the top 25 (considering the Big 12 has 4 fewer teams than the SEC that's a higher percentage of top 25 teams) and 3 in the top 10 for a much higher percentage of top 10 teams. I think it's the best conference this year.

    The Big 10 has 5 of 12 teams in the top 25 in Sagarin Predictor and 4 of 12 in the SRS, so very close to the same as the SEC percentage wise, with 1 out of 12 in the top 10 in each versus 1 out of 14.

    I think it goes Big 12, SEC, Big 10, but all three are pretty close, but a bigger gap between 1 and 2 than 2 and 3.

    I can allow someone to say the SEC is the best this year. It's not close to the clear best though.

    The B1G is back and tough at the top. I would say they are the best league today after last year's bowls. Iowa sucks though. I'd put the Buckeyes in just because

    The Big 12 is Oklahoma and the 9 dwarves

    The Big 10 has 4 in the top 12 or 3 in the top 10, so it is definitely the best at the top. It rates below the SEC because the bottom half of the conference is terrible. Before Michigan got blown out the SEC had 3 in the top 7.

    Harbaugh does it again. Michigan was 61 in SRS last year. Likely will finish in the top 10 this year. At Stanford he went from 61 in his second year to 1 in two years.

    Puppy just doesn't want Bama to make it in because he knows they will beat any fucknut teams from the lesser conferences. Also, you wrote a lot. Fag.

    Like last year?

    "The SRS is an objective bullshit rating system. Give it up with that fucking witchcraft. Bama will not get out of the semi's let alone win a natty this year, despite their big win against well... there aren't any big wins now that LSU was exposed.

    I know you all are yearning for the days when the script played out as it used to. It makes Doogs feel good about the " we are Washington damnit dayz" returning when the blue chippers from the SEC win and a non Sark USC has a chance to win a Championship.

    But Grandpa Sankey can see that the SEC is way down this year and that Stanford will butt plunger SC once again on the way to beating Iowa in the Rose Bowl.
