Set the tone in this game, and Nebraska might just make a strong run through it's SEC schedule.

Interesting.

But 30 is 50% more than 20.

(50% of 20 is 10. 20+10=30)

We play almost as many SEC teams as SEC teams do...weak ass 8 game conference scheduling all so we can take our late season rest week against Furman.

Carry that B1G flag and wave it proud! It's a shame they killed a conference just to over extend and have to play 9 game schedule. SEC didn't do that. Hopefully SEC league office continues as is and doesn't make the same mistakes as B1G. Btw, I'd put money on some of these weak ass teams against Maryland, UCLA, Michigan State, or Rutgers. Thankfully Strength of Schedule is being added to Playoff's metrics. If Vegas metrics applied we'll see how well each schedule goes head to head. I'm sure that if it doesn't line up with your narrative we'll hear "SEC bias" get thrown around despite Vegas metrics determining if they keep their money and take yours or the other way around.

Oh, brother, I don't need a single metric to back my "SEC bias" claims - let's rank a bunch of teams before they even play a game for the season, use those rankings to measure teams from that point on, and then say "look! We beat Oklahoma the #16 team in the country week 1!" and use that as an analytical point to justify a mediocre ass season. Rankings should start until week 4 or 5. Let's see it first, rank after we see it...

Here's an idea - let's just play SEC only in the CFP...it just means more...I mean, if your boys aren't producing enough lately they will just claim 7 more Natties.

God I love that we are fighting about this @Dawgsauce - FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!

Also, low blow. Never compare Dawgs to Auburn, or Bama, or TN. As I said the other day, UGA actually should be claiming '46. It's ours. I don't understand why they don't. 1920 some say as well, but '46 burns me up. Also, a bunch of claiming bs by some teams out West and up North too. Weak ass shit.

Best part of this is Twain was quoting someone else when he wrote it in autobiography. So it itself has become a lie.

Haha, it is back indeed. I actually don't know what you are arguing against or for. I'm a Dawg, if it is other teams in SEC argue away. I give you and agree, pre season rankings are more gibber jabber and less science. Still, when it comes down to 2nd half of season SOS if set by people that lose money when they get it wrong are gonna be the best at predictive SOS. Looks like when CPC meets this year, that those metrics will carry weight. That's a good thing, right? Instead of pre season or early season rankings by Coaches or AP polls. Right now, I can poke holes all day in the pre season ranking, and you and I would probably agree more often than not. Maybe. Depends if you have UGA as 1 or 2. Seriously though, nothing but ? marks at this point. I said on TnD forum (my Dawg Forum) today that I need to see Husker offense here beginning of season, but can see a W against Penn State if Holgs has y'all humming. So, yes let's play some games first before we crown anyone.

Also, I would hate all SEC playoff. Talking season gets backed up in that thang. Give me the best teams from each conference. I don't SEC flag wave, but I will always push back against the 8 v 9 conference game argument. B1G did it to themselves. I'm still pissed that SEC added TX, OU, Mizzou, and TAMU. I would lose my shit if they added a team across the country. As it is now, I can barely drive to Austin in under a day.

Probably not gonna do that. I might not have kids, but researching bookies low on my list. I understand that perception can be played into $$ related to predictive success, but that is point here and there. So, if you are talking about points in close games not the same as I'm talking.

Official Nebraska vs Cincinnati thread somehow got SEC worked in. I was hoping for some Bulldawg crutting nugs as well.
