Don’t bring common sense this early. It sets the bar too high
You can think however you want but unless you’re on the committee, what matters is how those folks think. No one has said the good wins don’t matter, by the way. But lots of teams have good wins, which is why the entire schedule matters.
Don’t disagree. But let’s be honest. A win against a Q3 is essentially the same as a Q4.
100%, so we should put more Q3 games in to up our NONCON and SOS. It can only help
Unless you’re prepared to say that Oklahoma State is the same as Alcorn State, this is simply not true. OSU is a terrible team by P4 standards. But they are still capable of beating you if they play well and/or you have an off night. They will likely end up winning a few Big 12 games. Teams at the bottom of Q4 would go winless in a power conference and even if they play above their heads for a good portion of a game, they don’t pose a real threat. So teams definitely should get dinged for playing too many games against that kind of opponent.
According to college net we have 7 quad 4 wins. There are 12 teams rated above us with 7 or more q 4 wins. 11 above us that have 6 q-4 wins Only 13 teams above us with more q-1 wins. I would like to play a tougher schedule, but looks like we are in pretty good shape comparison wise.
I agree, but it does factor in, and that's why Wichita and I harp on our scheduling issues so much because it makes the team's job more difficult.
So 23 teams above us have 6 or more q-4 wins, so half the teams. We have 7. So quad wins appears not the issue. SOS, maybe . But really a difference in quad 4 win of number 270 verses 320? Style points and road wins seem to be the issue.
this pretty much matches what my eyes tell me ..
It's a mix of everything. I mentioned last week that during a recent interview on ESPN, Lunardi said that if you choose to schedule a lot of Q-4 games, you really need to win them by 30+. And playing road games also helps -- not only is a road win more valuable, but it also gets you better prepared for conference. I don't think we would have won at Bama if we had played a true road game in noncon, but maybe we lose by 10 instead of 30, and that helps. And maybe we would have had a chance to win at Georgia. The biggest frustration I have is that all of these factors have been known for over a decade. The committee makes minor tweaks every few years, like adding in wins above bubble this year. But SOS, road games, and the penalty for playing the absolute worst Q-4 teams have been factors for a long time.
Send this to pm. He doesn't understand how to schedule correctly. Proof is in the pudding as the expert on last team out
Portered
I don’t understand how it’s so hard for some people to understand.
BUT I WILL!!!! Muahahaha
Only one team in the 300s and two in the 200s. Learn, Porter, learn!!
