@pstudeba8 @overrated_sec But past success means nothing because of turnover. The only real answer is no ratings before week 5. But it is a content machine so that isn’t happening.
English

That’s where you’re wrong.
The rankings are going to be wrong regardless, and we don’t know how well a team developed the backups, how well the coaches will mesh, how the scheme will play out….theres so much that goes into a team’s success. You can’t just look at turnover. It all needs to be earned on the field.
English

@pstudeba8 @overrated_sec Too much turn over to be a relevant metric.
English

It would a little.
I’ve had this conversation with many people. Carrying post to pre is the best way, because then everything is earned on the field. Preseason rankings are wrong every year, because talent doesn’t decide games. Hence why Penn State, Florida, and Indiana all had results that didn’t match the talent.
But in terms of reducing opt outs, it would help because now there’s a consequence. The postseason rankings impact next year’s team.

@ThisNotCom The 2 most frustrating things about OSU’s offense, as a Buckeye fan, can be summed up in this play:
1. You have an all world WR with 7 yards of space on 4th & inches. Throw him the dang ball.
2. You have nothing around the edge, turn up field & go thru the defense, not around it.

English

The play, the defense, the call…it was all so perfect. Worst loss ever.

What’s a great play in a big game that gets overlooked because they lost?

@eSECpn @SECSupremacyCFB @secnumbersguy *subjectively
Which is why the postseason ranking should just carry over to the preseason.

English

@SECSupremacyCFB @secnumbersguy Do you see how I have no Florida, Auburn, Tennessee? This top 25 is called objectivity.
Believe me, I would love to not rank any SEC team, but that’s not reality
English

Since the haters asked for it and @secnumbersguy’s mom gave me some time to create it.
First ever eSECpn pre-season top 25 rankings below:
*subject to change and I reject all criticism*

English

@eSECpn @secnumbersguy This should be the ranking.
Any changes should be earned on the field.

@HornsDown @overrated_sec They do matter though. Vandy was all in on beating Iowa.
If we just made the postseason poll carry over to the preseason, that would fix a lot of the opt outs.
English

@pstudeba8 @overrated_sec Playoffs i will concede. I could care less about non playoff bowl games. I hate when my team loses them but they mean nothing at the end of the day with opt outs.
English

@77WABCradio Liberals will look at you and tell you this is a good thing. “That’s evidence that republicans are for the rich!”
They literally have no clue how an economy works.

NEW YORK VS. FLORIDA: New York is estimated to have lost $10.7 billion in tax revenue as its share of America’s millionaires declined, while Florida gained $20.65 billion in income from people moving into the state. Now, critics fear Zohran Mamdani’s tax agenda could drive even more wealth out of New York. One state is bleeding money, the other is cashing in.

If you count bowl games, the Big Ten has been better over the last two seasons, hands down. For last year…
Top of the conference the B1G was obviously better.
The middle is a mixed bag. OU was better than anyone in the B1G middle, but then you have Vandy and Tennessee losing to the B1G. LSU showed some real weakness too against schools like Western Kentucky.
The bottom is bad for both conferences. Arkansas lost 56-13 to ND and also lost to Memphis. But then they were competitive with the entire SEC. Kentucky, who actually finished in the bottom middle of the SEC, lost 41-0 to Louisville and played it close with Toledo. Florida lost to USF.
UCLA lost 43-10 to Utah and 35-10 to New Mexico. Purdue lost 56-30 to Notre Dame.
In my opinion, the B1G is better at the top, and the two conferences are pretty equal in the middle and bottom.
The SEC obviously has more talent. Recruiting rankings and draft results show that. But the gap is narrowing, and talent isn’t the only way teams win. We have evidence of that. Development, scheme, team cohesion, coaching, etc all can impact the game and the B1G is probably winning there.
English

@pstudeba8 @overrated_sec OOC games SEC has the best record among the P4.
B1G has had the best team and usually a second high up.
SEC is stronger in the middle of the conference.
But winning titles important and SEC needs to change that reality.

@CollegeFBonX I wish we could’ve seen Ted Ginn Jr, Terrelle Pryor, Chris Gamble, or Troy Smith in an Urban Meyer offense.
Those are the guys I grew up with, but they played in the most boring offense…
English

@CFBReport This is because ESPN ignores Kentucky losing to Louisville 0-41 and barely beating Toledo, as well as Arkansas losing to Notre Dame 56-13 and also Memphis.
They just assume because of recruiting rankings the SEC will be amazing, even if the on the field results say otherwise.
English

@kjwithafumanchu @overrated_sec “Other conferences”?
Nice wins against Troy and Jacksonville State.
Now tell us the SEC’s record vs the Big Ten over the last two years.
English

@pstudeba8 @overrated_sec SEC was 12-6 vs other confs in the reg season last yr. Non-CFP bowl games ARE affected by injuries & opt outs. At least that’s what we were told in 2023 when UGA destroyed FSU in the Orange Bowl, Mizzou beat Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, Ole Miss beat PSU in the Peach Bowl 🤷🏻♂️
