But everything else you mentioned is changing and why keep rivalries? for tradition? Will vlbe asked. We we've played our main rival 3 times in the last 20 years. The traditions are what make all that other stuff happen.
I'd say redshirting and good luck to recruiting services trying to rate all 4500 entrants in say 24 hours is the issue
Wild that lofton was class of '21, i might have guessed 2018 lol.
Beadles was in the wack 2020 class, but given that the 2020 season didn't count for eligiblity it makes sense he and lofton are on the same timeline
This is the one I want. Let's get him.
They don't rank everybody in the portal, they never have. And they also have a hard time ranking guys who've never played in college.
I'm not arguing that championship games should exist or not. I'm arguing in the current setup, teams that qualified for the championship game shouldn't be punished for playing an extra game by getting leapt by teams that got to stay home and being left out of the playoffs entirely. Especially in the Alabama scenario where they already beat the team they lost to in the championship.
Again, Alabama WON A PLAYOFF GAME THIS YEAR, so any argument that they "didn't deserve to be in" is null and void, regardless of the outcome of their second game (they played two playoff games jfc).
Taking your example further, if you lose to Miami in the championship game, shouldn't they be ranked ahead of you in the next ranking?
This is not a situation of "idle team jumps team that played an extra game". That's a head to head result and should be evaluated as such, as was done with Georgia getting a bye this year and Bama playing in the first round on the road. At no point did I argue that Bama should be ranked ahead of Georgia or not be compared to teams that played on Championship weekend.
He's never going to get a win in this rivalry game, is he? How sad.
Well, he dropped a star because he transferred to Tech.
Yeah it was just crystal clear watching the difference of these two teams moving the ball.
I think taking Joseph may have been a play to get nick reddish
How does he go from 4 🌟 prospect to no transfer ranking at all? 247 overwhelmed by the portal.
On3 has him as 89.33 3 🌟
If you play an extra game (for example, a championship game), you absolutely CAN use that information to rate a team for the post season.
So sure, if you are terrible in a championship game it hurts your position in the post season, just as if you win your championship game it supports your candidacy.
Otherwise, what's the point of a championship game?

Nice.
This is the correct direction.
No he's from Georgia
Redshirt freshman OL should almost never play unless you're going to be a top 10 NFL pick. Otherwise if I'm hearing your name even as a backup, I'm concerned about the state of our line.
Nelson also with just 1 assist.
Everyone with just an uninspired game. Like you said earlier... just a half a second late, one step late, etc., etc., etc.
Suffern did play pretty decent, however.
This is the same smooth-brained argument as a couple years ago when TCU got destroyed by Georgia and people said they shouldn't have been in the playoffs while ignoring that TCU won a playoff game to get to the championship game.
Think of it another way: Virginia Tech is ranked #9, we beat Miami at home but lose to them in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. Should other teams who didn't play at all that weekend leap us and we get left out of the playoff?
That's a choice.
A bad one, but a choice.
Tell any player, student, or fan of either of those two schools that The Game doesn't matter anymore (yes I know you said "effectively").
But that game does effectively matter. Last year it was the difference between Ohio St. playing in the Big 10 Championship game, the result of which gave Ohio St. a home playoff game instead of possibly getting a first round bye. This year it was maybe the difference between Michigan getting into the playoffs, and I'm not sure how the tiebreakers would've worked, but Michigan might've had a shot at the Big 10 Championship Game (although probably still would've been Oregon). Ohio St. also got a bye this year, which likely would've gone to Oregon if they had lost to Michigan.
Seeing comments on Titter that he almost left team in season for how poorly practices went. With OL being a huge focus by Franklin if he is leaving going to trust the staff
Never heard his name mentioned all season even during the various injuries to the OL. Never even made backup. So seems better player to replace him is needed.
If you dont want to be punished for a loss, dont lose, quite simple. If Maimi had played Duke and lost they wouldn't be in the playoffs even with the same record Bama had.
Doesn't matter if Bama beat them in October, only December and January matter, thats the point of the post season now. UGA beat Ole Miss and yet they had to play them again and got sent home.
