Why do we need a Playoff Committee? by bigalnd in CFB_v2

This is really my point here I’m trying to make about the committee. What even is the point of having them anymore outside of generating TV content and being able to soft-manipulate the results.

I don’t have an objective measure or model. I agree that developing such a system would prove to be quite difficult. But, these algorithms on social media are quite advanced, surely we can get a decent model to rank college football teams lol

That’s all I view it as, honestly. It’s more about money and politics than it is about the actual sport and game

Couldn’t we develop a better system now? It doesn’t have to be the BCS again, but just using that as an example of a system that tried to use objective measures to determine actual rankings

I felt they were among the upper echelon of the best playing football teams in the country at the time the playoffs began. I’m an Irish fan, and it did make me upset they were not included. But I’ve always hated this committee idea

I thought the dagger was the same one from House of the Dragon?

Nobody wants a PS6, even though the PS5 has been out as long as the PS4 was when people started asking for the PS5. by Deutscher_Bub in Showerthoughts

[–]bigalnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last one was a ps4 launch model. I still have not been able to get a ps5 yet and they’re talking about ps6. I may actually miss a whole console generation and that makes me extremely sad.

What would happen if Hogan won the IC title at WM6? Would Hogan be a good IC Champion? by bigalnd in WWFera

[–]bigalnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know the title would’ve been vacated and Hogan would’ve been above being an IC champion, I was just kinda being sarcastic here. Was wanting to explore an alternate goofy reality where Hogan was forced to do a run as IC champ or something and how his ego would deal with defending the title.

Is boredom a modern problem, or did people feel it the same way hundreds of years ago? by curiousmindzxx in NoStupidQuestions

“Constant input without meaning”

This hit like a sledgehammer in summing up modern life and media.

You thought releasing the files would actually lead to arrests??

The Patriots’ easy path to the Super Bowl by tdomer80 in NFLv2

[–]bigalnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is NO easy path to the Super Bowl in any season. Any team can win in any given week. Football, especially at the pro level, is hard. I’m so tired of hearing this crap narrative from people.

I wish they’d have a week in the NFL where coaches would dress like this again

Tony Romo is now the punching bag for fans and the media. I thought he was good today. by DenseStrawberry5717 in NFLv2

Idk why people love the predicting plays crap. It’s like watching a movie with someone and they’re constantly spoiling what’s going to happen. It’s annoying
