And the @MLB screws up yet again... SHOCKER! #Braves#Phillies Never even touches home plate. #pathetic Why even have replay if you can’t get the OBVIOUS CALL correct?
@wsbtv First they waste $100 Million on this stupid building and now raise our taxes to pay for their mess up. I’m voting against every single person on the council.
@Mike_kim714 Thank you so much for continuing the diary posts for all of us who will never have the same opportunity. It’s wonderful and refreshing to read your thoughts, as one of the best in the world, and to hear the open and honest assessment of the tournament. Good luck next week in SC!
I’m buying a @MrLapara jersey this week, and if I ever see Jose out at a restaurant in Cleveland I’m buying his family dinner. What an absolute legend to stay with the home town team for his career. Can’t wait to continue cheering for him. #CLE#GoTribe
Anyone else hear @CollinsworthPFF say “looking at the TAPE” and feel a little happy that people still refer to old school things while watching kids born after 2000 play in this #NFL Playoff game between the @Patriots and @chargers ? Never change Chris!
Here’s how the rankings are manipulated with teams like Tennessee and Missouri.
Alabama is #10
BYU is #11
Miami is #13
“Alabama has to stay ranked high because of their FOUR ranked wins!”
Half of Alabama’s ranked wins are Tennessee and Missouri. Those two teams are a combined 0-6 vs. ranked opponents and have beaten ZERO bowl eligible teams.
Let’s simply replace Tennessee with a team like 7-3 Louisville (who beat #13 Miami, Pitt, and James Madison), and replace Missouri with a team like 7-3 Arizona (who just beat #25 Cincinnati on the road last week).
If you make those two little changes, Alabama suddenly now has just 2 ranked wins.
With Arizona ranked, BYU now also has two ranked wins. With Louisville ranked, Miami’s loss to them is no longer to a “horrible unranked team!”
So now you’d have:
8-2 Alabama with 2 ranked wins
9-1 BYU with 2 ranked wins
8-2 Miami with a Top 10 win over Notre Dame
BYU clearly jumps Alabama (should already be ahead of some Top 10 teams)
Then what you’d have to take into consideration is that Miami beat Florida State, while Alabama lost to Florida State by 14. Miami likely jumps Alabama too.
With just a small change to #20 and #22, taking out Tennessee and Missouri (who have ZERO wins over bowl eligible teams), and replacing them with Louisville and Arizona (who have FIVE wins over bowl eligible teams), the resumes and CFP cases of teams ranked #10-#13 change drastically.
