Ketch 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Hold off on giving out flowers)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I think it’s clear people’s judgement on this is heavily clouded by basis. In what alternate universe does the 2-time defending champ FROM THE SEC with just a second loss in 40 games not get the benefit of the doubt?
At this point does it matter if they did?. That game happened two months ago and Oregon is ahead of us.
Sometimes being real on this board gets you nowhere fast.
Ya it kind of does considering we would have a common opponent and it took Tech turning the ball over 4 times for Oregon to win. Oregon hasn’t beaten a top 25 opponent. These things do matter
Let’s only play November games from now on since nothing prior matters
They are two time defending champs that will have lost just a second time in 40 games. Literally just two years ago Bama beat them by double digits in the CCG and not only did they still make the CFP they blewnn by out the same Bama team to win the title. Some of you all, actually many, are looking over some very basic reality.
So let me get this straight. In your opinion, a common piece of crap opponent in Tech will carry more weight than Oregon knocking off unbeaten top 3 (because UW will be ahead of the Michigan/tOSU loser)? Ok then.
Not at that point. Do you think Herman would have been better in those 2 years? I think it's highly likely the team wouldn't be nearly as good at this point had Herman stayed. Do you?
Were they competing for a spot against a big brand conference champ who also happened to beat the team they lost to?
I understand what you are saying, but there are just too many potential deserving teams this year for a non conference champ to get in.
I don’t think it will come down to this scenario, but if it does, I think Texas would get in over Georgia.
You pretty much did since that is eventually going to be your argument. Are you under the impression the CFP is deciding the final 4 next Monday?
Oregon right now does not deserve to be 6 has been my point. The fact that you can’t follow that well I must say is a little bit of an indictment on you. If they beat a top 3 team then yes they have an argument to be in CFP but right now they have beaten no one. The CFP rankings are right now and Utah their top win just got knocked out of the top 25
Why? He didn't recruit as well, he didn't develop as well, he wasn't a strong leader in the locker room, he had the same habit of losing close games that Sark did in the first 2 years, and he also lost to teams he should have beat like Sark in the first 2 years. What would he have done better that leads you to this thought?
Deserves got nothing to do with it. It’s a moot point. They are currently ahead of us and if they win out they stay ahead of us. Literally, does anything else matter?
Maybe because year one under Sark was absolute trash and nothing about Herman's tenure suggested he would have a losing season.
Viewed implies you dont think he is a successful coach? You don't really believe that do you?
Maybe explain this to me like I’m 4….what has Oregon done to deserve the number 6 ranking? You keep talking about what may happen in a few weeks, I’m talking about what actually has happened
True. But... you said the first 2 years. I'd argue that while year 1 under Sark was trash, his year 2 was better than Herman's would have been. So at best it's a wash without the clear uptick that Sark has us on that would not have existed had Herman stayed.
He is having a successful season, thus he's a successful coach.
I made no implications. You kind of made that up in your head. That being said, he hasn't been successful until now in his career.
