that's the thing though, everybody still has this "perception" that ECU played a tough schedule. i wish i would have just posted a blind poll about our schedules. i'll bet the majority of people that post here would still have picked ECU as having the harder one knowing VT and UNC tanked. post the poll on the main rivals board and it would easily be in favor of ECU.
CSU beat 2 win Colorado and was widely considered a good win.
yup. when you get right down to it there really is a big question as to weather a two loss Boise team should have been chosen over a 1 loss Marshall team. it wasn't even debated...... there is a really good chance that we finish the season ranked ahead of them in Sagarin even if they beat Arizona. they are currently 39 to our 23......
No the committee makes up their own rules and changes them from week to week to suit their own agenda. The committee is a joke.
Who has that perception though? I haven't heard anybody talk about ECU's schedule since November 1st because it hasn't been relevant.
I think you mean that Sagarin (and other) SoS rankings are based on stats. The committee's SoS rankings are based on the committee's own rankings...
It was noted in the other thread (Sagarin) that these rankings are through Dec 29 and will change. Bottom line, your Pirates will have played 4 P5 schools and have a schedule strength very close to ours with 0 P5's. This is the problem with allowing a "committee" of biased humans to make the selections. The BCS ranking system was much better by incorporating human and computer polls.
Lol.
There's nothing more annoying than grammar nazis or Houston fans on message boards, but c'mon man, I can barely understand what you're trying to say.
Marshall fans have not fallen for the ESPN P5 propaganda. In fact most Marshall fans will tell you there are many Go5 schools that are much better than a lot of P5 schools. The problem isnt what we believe. The problem is how do we improve our standing in perception from the national media and those who make the rules. If they say they need to see us play P5 schools before we get an access bowl spot, then that's what we need to do. You can't say we are not going to play P5 schools because a Go5 school might be better. We dont make the rules. They do. You cant say screw ESPN, the playoff committee and everyone else that complains about us having a perceived weak schedule because you cant win.
Based on what I watched against Florida, we would have beaten your sorry ass team by 50 this year to follow up on the 38, note I do not count your last TD that your 1st team scored against our 3rd team in that game, we beat you guys by last year. Face the facts, we are now a better FB program than you guys by a large distance.
