@Tyler_Polumbus Sadly intent doesn't matter. You cant put cleats on a guy's calf and come down on his ankle like that.

Much like targeting in football, suspending for the next game when there was clearly no intent is dumb.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@OhioTate Its like targeting in the fact that things get called when there is no intent. You cant put your cleats on a guy's calf and come down on the ankle. Doesnt matter how it happened.

Missing the next game when there clearly wasnt intent... much like targeting is dumb.

@JeremyFlemingCO @citchmook And extra cap space to acquire Nelson as well. All around was a good move. Glad the front office has the foresight that much of the fansbase lacked at the time.

@Habsmtlhabs @Its_Strez Ahh the OP was about points not goals, but maybe the Habs should try winning more games and then he could earn a few more empty letters 😉. The amount of times Mack has passed up those chances to set up teammates is pretty high too. So maybe don't nitpick.

@RageWildcats @RicHuntter @NFL_DovKleiman I mean, LSU was probably the biggest preseason fraud in CFB last year. They are just a bigger name with bigger boosters and a coach who has no loyalty to his players.

@GUnit_81 The Wins Above Bubble metric would disagree where Miami is ranked 31st nationally with roughly an estimated 2.5 over what the last bubble team would have against a similar schedule.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@OG_Moji69 @EstateWill19959 @coleadamss People forget Eastern Michigan beat a Cinci team who took down both Kansas and ISU... but its easy to just talk down on the MAC instead of care about the facts 🙄

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@Petrorock44 @jasonwhitlock Even Eastern Michigan beat a Cinci team that has wins over Kansas and ISU. The conference isn't world beaters but deserves more credit than its given for sure.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@chrisfallica And where does Akron sit on the WAB metric?

61st (-1.06) while Miami sits at 31 (+2.57).

Narrow minded approaches to determining a teams quality gets you in trouble real fast. But thats what happens when you selectively choose metrics to make a point.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@madnessofmarch @jolberding01 21st Strength of Record
32nd Wins above Bubble
19th team in the country

But go on and try to selectively choose what metrics you want to pay attention to to justify bottom quartile majors.

Data shows that mid-major bids far outperform subpar major bids in the tournament.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@madnessofmarch @jolberding01 NET rankings are flawed and statistically skewed towards major conferences. Its a well known fact yet people lean on them way too much.

WAB is more unbiased. Where Auburn and Cal are clearly bubble teams at +0.11 and -0.11 respectively, Miami scores +2.22 and is ranked 32.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@madnessofmarch @jolberding01 And who you are losing to and how you lose should matter as well. Its the whole picture.

Both Cal and Auburn lost this week to teams who are 11-18.

Spare me the selective focus on narrow metrics/topics you care to use to try and support whatever thin arguement you are making.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@madnessofmarch They rank 32nd in Wins Above Bubble. They are undefeated. This isn't even a legitimate conversation. Take your teams who have losing conference records and let them enjoy the NIT if they want postseason ball so bad. Its 68 teams, not 12.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@mallory131313 @GUnit_81 St Johns schedule was actually very similar if I recall correctly. And they got a 1 seed out of it 🤷.

Not saying thats where Miami should be, but they beat who they play. Majors refused to schedule them. Thats not their fault.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@kylamb8 Transitive property is a hell of a drug. Problem is its a slippery slope you don't want to play.

#21 Miami 74 > EMU 64
EMU 64 > Cinci 56
Cinci 84 > #14 Kansas 68
Cinci 79 > #4 ISU 70
Kansas 82 > #2 Arizona 78
Arizona > #5 Houston
Kansas > #16 Texas Tech
Texas Tech > #1 Duke

@ThrowingStonz @GorillaExplorer @kylegriffin1 Good thing they have 3 Gulfstreams then and aren't reliant on a singular one that the FBI director by law has to take regardless of what he is flying for.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@nicklib11 @AlphaDeity1 @mattstdream To be fair. I didnt think that was PI, but they also called Bosa for roughing the passer that play. And the play before there was legit PI not called. The final PI was 100% PI and you can't not call a full wrap up before the ball gets there. But I agree on wanting consistency.

[Kyle Geordan @KGeordan]

@CookedbyK9 @WHRADER @smsugar40 @RSherman_25 @LegerDouzable Missed hold on that same play 🤷
