Team A goes 11-0 into the last week. Ranked #1 the entire season

Team B goes 11-0 into the last week. Ranked #2 the entire season.

Team A and B are in the same conf. and also the same div.

Team A and B meet for rivalry week. Winner goes to their conf. title game ... loser can't.

Yes, there are actually exceptions. If they were in different divs this year, OSU and MICH would be meeting again next week.

It's not that hard.

OSU will have one loss after next week. LSU could still lose tonight and next week, USC could still lose tonight and next week, Bama has 2 losses, Clemson has 2 losses, Oregon has 3 losses, and so on and so on. Who the hell would you give the #4 spot to after probably GA, MICH, and TCU?

 

 

And if OSU had to play next week they could have two losses. You shouldn't get rewarded for not playing.

Mahomes is also a former baseball player and can use those skills to help him make insane throws. He's a one-off like Brady. He will never win as many rings as Brady though.  I doubt anyone will in my lifetime. 

Playing in a straight trash division was a huge advantage for Brady. He had that in his back pocket the whole time in New England then lol and behold he ends up playing in the NFC South. 😂

Having a free pass into the playoffs every year is massive advantage.

They still had to play the games. I'm no Brady fan but I can't see anyone breaking his records.

And you shouldn't be penalized for being in the wrong division. By his logic, if Purdue or whoever upsets Michigan next week, they get into the CFP?????

Also, sort of like crap NFL teams that win their division don't deserve the Playoffs. CFP should be the four best teams.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
