“so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:10-11 LSB

One year ago, Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr., entered into the land of the living and the presence of the Savior. Today, we honor and remember the life and legacy of our dear brother and the Founding President of Founders Seminary.
Dr. Baucham preached the Inaugural Convocation address for Founders Seminary on Saturday, September 20, 2025, and preached his final sermon on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Grace Baptist Church, his home church in Cape Coral, Florida. He finished strong.
Dr. Baucham’s life of ministry and faithfulness to the Lord continues to bless countless lives.
Pray for Dr. Baucham’s wife, children, and grandchildren.

@NMc1566151@BIG_BLU_DSTANCE@ULcody Just cause you start using big cuss worlds doesn’t make your stance any better. Will Stein will be working with Kenny Minchey and the rest of the QBs he recruits. They will all be first round picks. Your welcome.
@NMc1566151@BIG_BLU_DSTANCE@ULcody So stupid you are dying on that hill. He’s coached 3 games as a head coach. Honestly for such a small sample size he’s developed QBs in 3 games more than anyone in the country. It’s funny how you act like now that he’s a head coach he won’t ever coach QBs again. Thoughtless take
@NMc1566151@ULcody What a stupid statement. Hes coached 3 games as a HC and obviously the best high school QBs are already trusting him. He will for sure be hands on with his QBs as a HC. In 3 games kenny Minchey has already proved hes the best passer UK has in at least 20 yearsThank you Will Stein
@TitleTownTalks It’s the o line. MLF is mediocre but the fact the GM didn’t put together a good o line is the biggest problem. We would have an elite (yes elite) team if we had just a good o line.
@CoachJimmyDykes Wow. A media member exploiting Kentucky fan engagement in a semi-positive way. I’m impressed Jimmy. Thanks for not being like the others.
@Morty13 You’re gonna wish the SEC championship dominance back into existence if you keep talking. Do you not remember the first and main reason everyone hates the SEC in the first place?
To address the uproar, this has proven to be statistically necessary in a lot of modeling systems. Our system already does this under the hood - completely determined by in-season data. When testing our model, we quickly discovered that you needed a discrete control for at least P4 vs G6 results or you tended to badly overrank G6 teams.
With so few inter-conf data points, if you don't do this you tend to overinflate teams in rather weak conferences because their domination of bad teams in-conference is very hard to account for in relation to teams showing warts in better ones.
A great example was that last year Texas Tech played no P4 out of conference. Due to dominating in-conference, they ended up FPI/FEI #6, and I believe climbed as high as #3 at one point.
But that was, generally speaking, proven a mirage in the playoffs. Their offense was not capable of scaling versus better competition.
Most all model schemes really struggle with scaling performances versus wildly disparate competition. I know Bill Connelly said some years ago he had to adjust SP+ because it was overrating G5 teams for this reason.
In our case, we look at each conference's results in OOC games, compare predicted results from the modeling data to the actual game results, and provide a minor offset to force them to better match. Without that offset, we found that the better G6 teams consistently get modeled to be more competitive vs major P4 teams (due to generally dominating their G6 competition) than was reflected in the actual games.
For example, Ole Miss beating Tulane 45-10 in the regular season gets treated as an outlier, and the playoff game predicted a good bit closer, when in reality the playoff game showed it wasn't an outlier at all and should have carried more weight (Ole Miss won 41-10).
So, yes, you do need an "inside baseball" conference rating stat to give some context for teams with dramatically easier schedules in easier conferences (and often with no P4 OOC opponents). This isn't an SEC vs B1G thing nearly as much as giving a ballpark for what being #1 in the B12 or ACC means vs the B1G.
