Just thinking about how relevant The University of Wyoming really is in the NFL/Football world.

So how come h2h matters with Texas and Tennessee but not with Alabama and Tennessee. The chairman said because they are in different pods but I don’t like that teams are compared differently.

Utah is ranked No. 2 in the CFP, but Vegas models tell a very different story. 📉
Based on SP+ power ratings, the Utes would only be favored in 5 of 11 matchups against the current 12-team playoff field (UCLA, Tennessee, BYU, Kentucky, Boise St) — and underdogs to 6 teams.

📊 Average CFP Movement by Conference:

• SEC: Wins +1-3 spots avg | Losses -2-4 spots avg
• Big Ten: Wins +0-2 spots avg | Losses -3-5 spots avg
• Big 12: Wins +0-1 spot avg | Losses -5-7 spots avg
• ACC: Wins +0-1 spot avg | Losses -5-8 spots avg

The 6-3 Oregon Ducks aren't dead yet. 🦆📈
Here’s the path to the CFP:
1 Win out (Michigan, MSU, Wash)
2 Need USC to upset Indiana
3 Need chaos in the 2-loss Big Ten logjam
4Keep Ohio State ranked
Finish 9-3 & win the tiebreaker chaos, and Lanning pulls off the comeback.

The SEC schedule is "tough" on paper because they play 9 conference games + mandatory P4 non-con. But the secret sauce is human poll bias: high preseason ranks create a circular loop. When ranked SEC teams lose to other ranked SEC teams, the math keeps them high.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

@OTNogginLuke Holy cow how bias can you be???

Why do they have flags at the top of the goal posts in an indoor stadium? Makes no sense. I guess just aesthetics but they ain’t ever going to move.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

College football is ruined.
No more conference championship games.
The game doesn’t mean anything.
The iron bowl doesn’t mean anything.
Sometimes less is more and it seems like a lot people don’t understand that. I hope this decision bites them in the ass. 😔 #thegoodoledays

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

@OfftheNogginPod LOL the discrepancies are hilarious

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

Bills won’t win a Super Bowl until they have a top 5 defense and a top 16 Offense.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

@barstoolsports The bills have no chance at a Super Bowl. This game is a prime example offense wins games defense wins championships. Bills lose this game.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

This game tonight is a perfect example of offense wins games, defense wins championships. Bills lose this game.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

@OTNogginLuke Depends how the cookie crumbles

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

Oregon should be in the playoff conversation if they continue to play well down the stretch. Depending on what teams they are compared to definitely will matter but. Alabama got in last year with 3 losses if Oregon finishes strong they should be considered as well.

[Mason @OffTheNoggin_M]

@Charlie_Potter Yeah that isn’t true at all. We play 4 different running backs every game we don’t have a main back. So that statement is completely false.
