    You're making less sense than the ShitBird. Never make less sense than the ShitBird.

    Coming soon to the CarpetElf Football league: Wins and losses no longer matter. Instead, a panel of five judges will grade each team's performance from 0.0 to 10.0. At the end of the season, the teams with the highest scores make the playoffs! This ensures the best looking teams get rewarded, because remember at the end of the day its not about if you win or lose its about how good you look doing so.

    Note that even playoff games will follow this spectrum. Really, the goal is to find the best team in the league. So even if the other team scores more points, if you were the better team and just got cheezed by some dumb call or fluke play, you can still win the game if the judges score you high enough!

    You are totally just overlooking the eye test and the importance of it.

    I mean, you could engage like an adult and explain to me why struggling against losing teams on a regular basis isn't indicative of a pattern and why it's a bad thing to blowout every opponent but one. You could, you know, counter these points I've raised instead of blatantly mocking and misrepresenting my point as if Miami isn't doing exactly what the fuck I'm saying they would right now lol.

    They just look slow. I'm not sure how much of that is me projecting my opinion of Wisconsin's brand of football vs. the reality, but Ohio State is just playing faster.

    And then I flip over to the Clemson game and I feel like they look even faster than that...

    Fuck the eye test. You could google "Miami schedule" and "Alabama schedule" and come to this conclusion. Acknowledging the eye test undermines how mindnumbingly simple this is.
     
  10. It’s becaise Wisconsin is second rate football program

    Wisconsin is the LSU of the Big Ten. Only difference is they have the luxury of not playing Alabama.

    or Troy

    You continue to miss the point that wins and conference championships are more important than how a team looks.

    I never said blowing out every opponent but one is bad. Its just irrelevant if another team has the same win loss record, has beaten similar quality opponents, and won their conference title.

    How a team looks in their games is like the 4th thing you should look at when picking playoff teams. You want to make it the first or second.

    You're going way overboard here. We are talking about the Top 1-8 teams, where there is room for discussion and analysis. He's not saying W/Ls don't matter and a 8 win team deserves to get in...

    Yo, I poke fun in your direction out of love, sir. Wish Wisconsin had a better start to this game, man. Sorry, man.

    I do feel for Wisconsin though. I feel their pain every time I watch Danny Etling throw the ball 10 yards short.

    I know. The results on paper tell the story very easily.

    I'm just taking the absurdity of arguing that looks matter more than titles or strength of schedule to its logical conclusion
     
  20. Nah I deserve the poking

    The Badgers are frauds because the Big Ten West is one of the worst divisions in all of college football

    How on earth is a trophy more important than performance? UCF is undefeated and a has a trophy, should I expect you to champion them as well?

    UCF 100% deserves a title shot over Alabama, that is for sure.

    Calling a pattern of mediocrity "looks" is frankly hilarious.

    Bama's strength of schedule is far greater than Miami's.
