Why the SBC would have the highest G5 CFP distribution if they cannot even get a team into a NY6 bowl game.

Very on brand for coosa for a Kennesaw state dude to be talking smack.

We just beat two SBC schools in basketball this year. Sit down somewhere.

Oh basketball. OK I wonder if Kennesaw will beat a SBC school in tennis too? Not saying BB(or tennis) is unimportant, just that the thread had been about football.

Dont come around in baseball season, then.

9 schools offer baseball and perennial baseball power, Dallas Baptist is now in CUSA. They've played post season nearly every year in the last 15 years and two regional.

Riddle me this GemMan, Where do you think the numbers, data and stats come from?!?

A human or did some program just appear out of thin air?

So you think the numbers that go into these rankings are made up?
They use wins, losses, strength of schedule, head-to-head scores, margin of victory, total yards, and efficiency stats like passing/rushing yards per attempt in the formula.
Are you conflating something like the Coaches Poll with an analytical ranking? Because if you are, it makes sense why you are constantly confused.

Do you not realize someone has to put a value on the data? The computers and the coaches poll or media polls are all the same a guess created by humans.

Still confused, I see. I hope you do not pick your own investments!

So said the confused one. Im fine with my investments. Would should suggest you do your own research and not rely on a computer when you do yours.

The real problem with the computers is that they undervalue teams that recently transitioned to the FBS. We lack historical FBS data points, so it gives us a low rating. To be fair, humans aren't immune from this bias. For three straight years, WKU and Liberty have been predicted to finish top of the league by humans and computers.

There are outliers. Jimmy seems to have surged through that stage really quickly, but mostly because the computer values it's SOS more. I've long contended there is a glitch in in the computer rankings that overinflates the belt's computer rankings, and there's a dotted line traceable back to that weird 2020 season with COVID-depleted rosters. I even think the MVFC even gets a boost over many FBS teams because those Dakota Marker schools beat FBS teams many years ago, but not so much lately. Hell, Jax State has a more recent P4 win than either of those schools. But that's another story and debate I don't feel like getting into, especially with any unpleasant Bison fans who might be lurking.

At any rate, the bias won't last. Those FBS data points will take hold and our SOS will climb because the computers won't see us as transitional teams. That's not a good omen for the MAC.

All computer ratings have to have humans weight the data.
My issue with gem is he seems to think his "system" is somehow superior to computer models. I mean, he may be Rain Man but ...
