I have an odd feeling you'd be singing a completely different tune had they let Bama in.

Go back through this thread. I don’t think Bama should have gotten in. I would have been happy had they gotten in, but I’m not sure they are in the top 12.  I think they are in a group of 3-5 teams that could have beaten anyone in the field in a good day but lost badly if they had a bad day.

My problem with Indiana and SMU is that I don’t think they could have beaten anyone in the field, even on a good day. They simply got in because they ran up wins against less than stellar competition.

By this standard Notre Dame shouldn't have been in either having beaten no one and lost to NIU.

This is why the arguments happen and why teams like SMU and Indiana got in with teams like Bama, South Carolina, and Ole Miss did not. Arguments can be made for any number of teams. 

ND also beat Army (finished regular season in top 20), as well as aTm and Louisville (who both finished in the top 30 of the regular season). All three were ranked at the time of their games. 

Indiana played one ranked team (tOSU) and got smoked. SMU beat Pitt, who was ranked at the time of the game but ended up outside the top 30.

Against, arguments can be made for any number of teams. The arguments for Indiana and SMU just weren’t persuasive to me. It may be my SEC bias coming through, but I think SC, Ole Miss, Bama, all had better records, even with their losses, because they did it against tougher competition from week-to-week.

Either way though, 12 teams is way too many. This was imply a money grab, and there will be tons of blowouts in the first round every year with more likely in quarters and semis.

There's always going to be teams with arguments to get in regardless of how small or large the field is and the four team format features blowouts too. I like more teams having an opportunity. A 12 team field comfortably allows in everyone with a legitimate chance IMO. Bama didn't have a legit chance, they're QB can't throw. Miami didn't have a legit chance, their defense is trash tier.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
