There are also trains that stop right in front of the Huntsman Center.

-5 and Auburn jumped +6.

Definitely rooting for Auburn. That Oregon loss to the Tigers will be a sticking point in the coming weeks.

Don’t want Baylor sneaking ahead with zero losses and now a quality win. Hate to root for Oklahoma… Or would it be better for Oklahoma to have two losses and then win the Big 12 title game? If Baylor wins out, they’re going to the…[Read more]

I was looking at the trending feature next to the rankings on a sports website and saw an odd pattern.
So I began writing numbers.
When teams from the ACC, Big 10 or Big 12 lost a game while ranked, they dropped an average of 5-6 positions.
When teams from the PAC 12 were ranked and lost, they fell an average of 8 positions.
When SEC teams…[Read more]

Swoop Doggy Dogg started the topic Some folks on Twitter not happy about Utah's ranking without a top 25 win in the forum Football 5 years ago

Looking at a couple of computer rankings like Massey, Sagarin, and SP+, Utah’s strength of schedule is middle of the pack compared with the rest of top ten.
Utah doesn’t have a signature win, but overall their SOS is within reason and certainly better than even teams ranked above them. Utah has just played a bunch of teams hovering around .500.…[Read more]

Swoop Doggy Dogg replied to the topic conflicted about this Penn St. vs, Minnesota game? in the forum Football 5 years ago

I remember being bent out of shape when Alabama fans didn’t want to play Utah. But yeah, I get your point. Are they saying the same about us? They’d rather play Oregon?

Swoop Doggy Dogg replied to the topic Penn St @ Minnesota shows inherent bias of CFB in the forum Football 5 years ago

Minnesota’s SOS will improve this last month.

Also, Utah’s isn’t that bad. Yeah, the Utes don’t have top 25 wins, but overall the SOS is better than Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Baylor, and Clemson according to Sagarin. In the ballpark of LSU, Penn State, ND, and Michigan.

Swoop Doggy Dogg started the topic Penn St @ Minnesota shows inherent bias of CFB in the forum Football 5 years ago

The fact that Minnesota is 8-0 and ranked #17 is quite telling. If they had Michigan or Nebraska on their jerseys they’d be a top five team with that record. People love what is familiar. Yeah, they have a poor SOS, but it will improve dramatically in the coming weeks. If they win this game and two of their next three, they could be the Big 10…[Read more]

Swoop Doggy Dogg started the topic Quick look at UCLA in the forum Football 5 years ago

Offense: The left side of their O Line starts two true freshman including a 5-star recruit at left tackle. They are turning into a strength and running left more frequently with nice push. The unit as a whole has given up a lot of sacks, so will be interesting to see how they fare against Anae and Penisini on that left side. QB pressures force…[Read more]
