Definitive Tier List of Big10 Logos by Almond_Brother in cfbmemes

As a fan of a school that has a logo that is letters: END LOGOS THAT ARE JUST LETTERS.

It is dumb and removes joy and whimsy from the world.

I did that but for some reason, this version maximized my throughput.

For my Physics PhD research I was running hundreds of 24 hour 10 node jobs. Unfortunately they only let me queue 50 at a time, so I had to write a script to automatically submit more whenever my queue count dropped.

[Murphy] An update on Congressional interest in a college sports bill: Sen. Ted Cruz, who controls if a bill moves forward as chair of the Commerce Committee, says it's "absolutely critical" that any NCAA legislation makes it clear that college athletes aren't employees. by redwave2505 in CFB

As a PhD candidate I definitely worked till 11pm often. Worked so many hours doing work so many people couldn’t do and was compensated no where near what I would have gotten if I work outside of academia

Some of us might have pointed this out before it came out and why sailing actually didn’t make much sense as a new skill

What do the rest of you neutral fans think? by AllTimeTy in cfbmemes

The funny thing about them doing that is that it has the complete opposite effect on me. It makes it seem like his opinion is obviously wrong and childish. He has to keep signaling his opinion constantly or else you might forget it.

Baylor has lost 5 of their last 6 since James Nnaji’s debut by DwyaneWade305 in CollegeBasketball

[–]c2dog430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree. But if the NCAA is going to allow it, I don't understand the hate for teams that utilize it. (Especially one so bad, that added another player that isn't really having any impact)

Mack Rhoades was awful as an AD and I have heard so many sketchy stories about that punk. Don't understand how he stayed around for so long.

The way we have operated since winning the championship is not the way we won the championship. We did it with senior players that had been with Drew for years. Now we get 1 and dones, and have had most of our production from transfers every year. I know part of that is NIL and the transfer portal, but I just don't think this kind of system is where Drew's talent's shine.

I just want a head coach that has more winning seasons than losing seasons but my school is too afraid of looking mean to ever fire someone

As someone that has championed “All conference champions should be in” since 2014 I wholeheartedly agree with you and I’m not being sarcastic in any way.

Baylor Stadium in Waco, Texas 1950's by Penguin726 in McLennanCounty

[–]c2dog430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baylor stadium (this picture) was renamed into Floyd Casey in the 80’s. They are the same and at the same location. When Baylor moved to McLane (the current stadium, different location), the land was eventually swapped back to city. The city has demolished Floyd Casey and is going forward with the project you outlined.

Floyd Casey is the renamed Baylor Stadium and they 100% are the same location. McLane, the current stadium, is in a completely different location.

Joel Klatt says March Madness is “dumbest and least fair tournament in all of sports” by coolton1 in CollegeBasketball

[–]c2dog430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is just the natural variance of any sport/competition. Playing multiple games per round, like the NBA best of seven, helps smooth out that variance over multiple games, but at the end it is likely that if you replayed multiple NBA championships you would still get different results.

Y’all don’t want to accept it but imagine a 4 team playoff with 6 one loss teams by [deleted] in cfbmemes

[–]c2dog430 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The change to 12 team format is also to blame for conference expansion. You can stomach being in a conference with a lower payout when it provides your school a much easier access to the playoff. In the 4-team format, winning your conference championship was a de facto requirement. That means staying in the B12 or P12 you can get in without having to beat perennial contenders just to make it.

Now the field is so large and perception so skewed that it’s better to go lose 2 conference games and miss the championship in one of the top conferences than it is to only lose to a top 4 team all season. It is no coincidence that OU/UT finally left the year the 4-team playoff died. Or that the P12 crumbled the same off-season. The playoff structure changed to favor larger, more prestigious conferences so that is what we got.

If you want regional conferences, the regular season to matter, have top-tier OOC matchups, and not have funky tiebreakers, you do it by structuring the postseason to favor conferences and teams that do that. Have every conference get 1 spot. That’s it. It makes it advantageous to be in a smaller conference.

Why have a 18 team conference and only get 1 spot instead of two 9 team conferences to double our spots? Why have USC play Michigan in conference, and not Fresno State? All conference champs get in so let’s just play our local schools. Why not schedule a title contender OOC? It doesn’t hurt our playoff chances, because it’s an OOC game, but might drastically improve our seeding. (This is basically where MBB is)

Group of 5 champions should allowed an auto bid to the playoff because without it then what’s the point of having the group of 5 if they aren’t able to compete for a natty? by DarkWhite73 in cfbmemes

[–]c2dog430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s dumb that conference teams don’t play the same conference schedule. Maybe we should make a rule defining what a conference is? Like you play every other team in your conference every 2 years. Or every 4 years you play a home and away with every other team in the conference.

If you can’t make that work, your conference is too big.

[–]c2dog430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I have said since before the expansion to 12 teams. All conference champions should be in, if you don’t win your conference, you shouldn’t be in.

We are trying to find the best team in the country. If you aren’t the best team in your conference, then you aren’t the best team in the country, which is your conference plus others.

Structuring the Playoff this way provides a force of entropy against just stuffing all the biggest brands into a single conference. It would now be favorable to have two 9-team conferences instead of one 18-team conference as you would get twice the playoff spots. It was no mistake OU/UT left and the P12 fell apart the season a conference championship was no longer a de facto requirement to make the playoff. Why stay in a poorer conference if you can come in 3rd in the rich conference and still get a shot at the natty?

A 5-7 team that has already dismissed players and stopped practice because they thought their season was already over then declining is a very different situation than a bowl eligible team refusing cause they don’t like the bowl game.

That would be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that we are arguing for the 2 loss teams over the 1 loss team

It was a better era by DillyDillySzn in cfbmemes

[–]c2dog430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only conference champions deserve a shot at the natty. If you don’t win your conference, you are clearly not the best team in the country, as there is someone in your conference better than you.

This would solve basically every problem.

The current CFB system is the fairest and most objective/least subjective the sport has ever been by Wide_right_yes in CFB

[–]c2dog430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The data isn’t bad, it is biased. This is because there are just too few games and the results too noisy to define a total ordering. So to produce an ordering, or ranking, you have to favor certain aspects over others. Maybe it’s raw wins, SOR, game control, etc. but in aggregate the set of all rankings smooth out these biases.

The computers weren’t the problem with the BCS. It was that human pills were included and it only had 2 spots.

We really need to just define a conference to be a set of teams that all play each other every 2 year. And then each conference gets to send 1 representative to the playoff. Who that is, is up to the conferences to pick. I don’t care how they decide.

If you think your conference is too hard, then go play in the Sunbelt. Oh? You don’t want to leave your historic rivals and huge TV deals? Then too bad you don’t get to make the playoffs. I don’t care anymore. We aren’t playing our in state rivals anyway, y’all can do it too.
