2014 College Football

By opening your mind to the other person's argument rather than totally dismissing it because of your own personal bias. That would be a good start.

Pot

 

[Bawse Dawg]

So after losing to teams who were ranked #2 and #3 (1 is now #1 and the other #4), they should be automatically unranked? I guess it depends on what the teams who are ranked around them are. I doubt any team below them had a very strong argument to be over them.

Then they beat the #3 overall team with a defensively dominant performance. How can you not expect a huge bump in the rankings? I don't get people complaining about LSU's ranking jump.

By your logic UCLA was an awesome team when Utah played them, and it was on the road. So isn't that pretty damn impressive too? Add in a win vs USC and one less loss, and yea, LSU shouldn't have jumped Utah.

Pot

Says you. How do you know I didn't take his or your argument into account? If it's easier for you just to say pot than to admit that I did. So be it.

Yes, great wins.

LSU's big win was more impressive than those 2 combined though.

Utah's loss is a worse loss than the 2 LSU losses combined.

Pretty sure the experts agree with me cuz they ranked LSU ahead of Utah.

So you agree that we are the best but disagree that ours wins/losses should be weighted differently since we are, by your own admission, playing higher quality teams within our conference (that also schedules more OOC ranked opponets per team)?

Haha.. isn't that true (potentially) in reverse?

 

[Dr. Jones]

nice use of the ol' 106.

I don't drink soda. I prefer a cocktail on your dime.

Anytime. Would be honored. Fwiw, I enjoyed your debates.. it was green's that was simply awful.

To be fair, the experts aren't always right. Was ND really the second best team in the country when they played Bama a few years back in the Championship game?
