LSU was supposedly great because they blew out Clemson. That's the same Clemson who is 64th in FPI efficiency with the 109th ranked offense in college football. By the transitive property, Ole Miss was supposedly great because they beat LSU at home.
Florida was supposedly great because they handily beat Ole Miss (42nd in FPI Efficiency) at home, and Florida got talked about as a likely playoff team by a bunch of pundits.
Missouri will now get sunshine-pumped in the polls because they blew out Florida at home - the same Florida that is 77th in FPI defensive efficiency.
(By the way - Florida's chances of making the playoff are now lower than Nebraska or Northwestern. I have a sneaking suspicion that won't be brought up by very many people)
Alabama's offensive dominance has been racked up against the 30th, 35th, 44th, 82nd, and 91st rated defenses.
Kentucky's two SEC wins are by a total of 11 points against the 40th and 57th teams in FPI efficiency.
Baylor beat Arizona State on the road by a bigger margin than Texas A&M beat Arizona State at home.
Nobody launders overrated wins into undeserved AP votes quite like the SEC.
The conferences, ncaa, and TV networks need to take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves if the extra cash is really worth it.
This is on their hands, as moving the games to later in the day was completely doable if it weren’t for “ratings”.
So sad…
ICYMI: Yesterday, the following vaccines were shifted from routine to “risk-based” decisions.
RSV - leading cause of infant hospitalizations
Hep B - infects babies for life
Hep A - sparks deadly outbreaks
Bacterial meningitis - can kill in hours
If this isn’t “risk,” what is?
New law: Every time you say physicians just push pills and don't care about their patient's health, you have to do 8 hours of state-mandated shadowing of a family physician.
Ole Miss lost to previously 5-5 Florida.
Alabama got blown out by previously 5-5 Oklahoma.
Texas A&M lost to previously 4-6 Auburn.
And people are trying to push a narrative that Indiana being in the playoff is in jeopardy after their one loss at … Ohio State? Child please!
There’s a lot we still don’t know, but #1 priority is our patients’ safety so please talk w/ your SCD team about how to safely wean off this med.
#2 is holding ppl accountable for answers why abrupt pulling of a drug for a pop already suffering from healthcare neglect is ok.
A few reasons why I’ve been late to see patients:
A child’s cancer relapsed, family devastated
An adolescent expressed suicidal intent
A child with life threatening anaphylaxis
Things that have never been the reason I was late:
Eating bon bons
Not valuing patients time
