Isn’t that hard, anyone can see or even look at a stat sheet and see who the best teams are. OUs defense is a joke and literally everyone knew ‘Bamas defense would stomp the OU offense. Talent wise there just isn’t a matchup there. Ohio State would’ve given ‘Bama a far better matchup. OU got in because Lincoln Riley is a hot name (who just got disrespected by a player on the sideline, not an NFL HC and his team is completely out of control) Urban Meyers isn’t and Kyler Murray’s story and stats. If Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia continue to have the best teams in college football then they should be in the playoff every year until they don’t field those types of teams. Isnt that the point of crowning a champion? Then you should love my round robin system as it is the ultimate "have the best teams play" scenario. Scrap the regular season and get on with it.

germ-x Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Quinnen Williams reminds me so much of Ndamukong Suh. Just seems freakishly strong for his size and while not elite with his quickness it’s still very good and when coupled with that strength is almost unstoppable.

Oklahoma couldn't do anything in the first half almost solely because of him. Hope he doesn't end up with the Raiders.

All the games are intradivisional, so basically 2 winners & 2 losers in each division. There are a few unique teams in each schedule, but not enough to make up the difference. The most likely outcome is 11-12....a few good breaks, and #10 is reachable, but more likely it's 11-12. If you want to track it - Tankathon is your friend. http://www.tankathon.com/nfl BUF, NYG, and ATL are all favoured to win tomorrow. If all of those hold true, and we lose, we should pick 9th (assuming nothing too screwy happens to SoS). A Jags win in Houston would be excellent, as we would not only hop over them, but it would have the potential to improve our 4th rounder from the Texans.

A Jags win in Houston would be excellent, as we would not only hop over them, but it would have the potential to improve our 4th rounder from the Texans. The problem is that if those 3 teams win - their SoS drops. If we lose our SoS goes up. And because it's an intra-divisional opponent the SoS record for our opponents goes up by 2 W's (as we played that opponent 2x, they count the W-L record 2x). So we basically put 2 W's in our W-L SoS, and the other 3 teams put 2 L's in their SoS. So it's big shift, and we are only 0.04 pts "behind" those teams. With all the games being intra divisional the overall effect of week 17 gets muted - except for the game the team actually plays (which counts for 2 games played in SoS), and the couple of unique opponents in each team schedule. For all the other game outcomes, each division will be 2-2 so it doesn’t matter if an AFC team played the NFCE or NFCS each of those 4 opponents’ combined record this week will be the same - 2-2. So basically only 3 games change the SoS results this week - the game the team actually plays this week (which again counts 2x) and the outcome for the 2 unique teams in their prior schedule, and we already start 0-2 with a L and the other team starts 2-0 with a W. Unless the 2 AFC opponents we faced who were unique to our schedule (HOU and NYJ - AFCE & AFCS 3rd place teams) wins both games and the 2 opponents unique to BUF/ATL/NYG both lose, we likely drop behind them as their SoS catches up with their W and our L. We need both HOU & NYJ to lose to have a SoS record of unique games to be 2-2. JAX/HOU & NYJ/NE are huge - the narrow gap in our SoS really reduces the path to 9 and even 10 really needs a lot of help, the key then becomes JAX/HOU, and a LOT of help from the other games.

KC because of their 5-1 division record of LA’s 4-2. Our win at the stub hub center ended up costing the Chargers the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I will say that after IND dominated the first 20 mins of the game, Luck, then Adoree Jackson, then Mack all decided to channel their inner Keenum. Those were plays even Keenum would going "WTF were you thinking dude (well not Mack, that's just a physical mistake, but Luck & Adoree were wow Case-level moments)" Edited December 31, 2018 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcers were talking about him and right on queue he blew up a run for a 2 yard loss. He really is a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
