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.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
