I think this is Exhibit A in the case to remove this computer from the BCS ranking calculation

Also, it seems he was less interested in the actual people that he hired for coaches than the fact that they can bring the Bama schemes.  RTR

Check out this video of CJF talking about the hiring of Pruitt and Sunseri.  It gets really intersting around the 1:48 mark where he says that FSU will use their current system but that Pruitt will add some stuff "from Alabama" to it.  He doesn't say that Pruitt is bringing his stuff, but the Alabama stuff.  It makes me smile.  Everyone wants a piece of the action.

Can someone tell me how to listen live to Bama football on iPhone? Is it through the Sports section in the TuneIn app?

I'm not sure, but you can try clicking on the link in the Next Game block to the right of the page.  The online radio link will probably launch your web browser on the phone, and you might be able to hear the radio station.  If you can hear them, then you should be able to hear the game on Saturday.
I clicked it but it takes me to a page that requires Flash. The iPhone doesn't support that. I'm sure there's a legitimate reason why it doesn't, but I sure wish it did. Thanks for the idea though.

Thanks, guys. I'm just trying to get this figured out BEFORE game time.

I have been doing a lot of reading and thinking about this new system and I am not optimistic. My concerns rest with the selection committee and how it will function. Although the details are yet to be settled, it is clear that it will be a smallish number of humans who will make decisions "a posteriori", or after the fact. The current system makes at least some of it's decisions "a priori", before the fact. That is, the computers are programmed with some algorithm, the games are played, and the ranks are spit out in December. The polls are an a posteriori component of the current system but involve a large and wide pool of voters. Although they may have their own agendas, they are all different agendas and what emerges from the ooze is probably a pretty good reflection of "the truth".

To get to the point, my biggest concern is that the committee system can make huge impacts by bumping teams up or down a notch. Such small variances are common in the polls that we already employ and no one bats an eye when the coaches have it Stanford-Oregon and the media have it Oregon-Stanford. But when a selection committee does it's work it can decide that a big east team is 4 over an SEC team that is 5 just so there won't be two SEC teams. They can look at top four that includes a number 2 SEC team and a number 4 SEC team and bump the number two team to number 1, eliminating the possibility of an all SEC NCG. Since these important and politically motivated influences can be achieved by moving teams both up and down, and only a single position, there will be no way prove that the ratings are being influenced by illegitimate criteria. Even with the inevitable comparisons points of the polls and computers (which are so popular they will not go away just because they are no longer being used to set the top four) the small variances that can cause the SEC trouble won't look blatantly biased.

Infinitesimal tampering can lead to infinitely large impacts.   Wink

Good post...and even better usage of the language!

Yeah I guess we all tick in different ways. For instance, since we don't know how this thing will turn out, I choose to think it will be for the better, where as some might see the sky falling. On the other hand, occasionally "professional" writers might really bother me with crazy words, where as some might be unbothered. Either way, roll tide!

"Yes, even this four-team baby step is being met with scorn by the more-more-more crowd failing to realize that, even in its infancy, this just-birthed format is already infinitesimally better than what the BcS has wrought over the past decade-plus"

Really?  Who writes that?  Does he not know the definitions of words?  Is he just trying to sound smart, but in the process reveal ignorance?

Hello, TNT.
I think most SEC fans were happy with the BCS system, especially for the past 6 years.  But after the uproar this year over Alabama being allowed to play for the BCSNC (and winning) without being a conference champ, I fear our chances of getting a team into the BCSNC were diminished.  There was pressure from across the country to stop the streak at 6 years.  Point is: the new system will give us a fair chance at getting a team into the NC game every year!

Oh, and my original post was more about the incompetence of the original writer and not about the content, pimarily as it relates to his use of the word "infinitesimally."

I agree with you 100%.  Because of the situation primarily 6 wks before the game, it is doubtful that, given a similar circumstance, that Bama would play in the BCSNC again.  It seems to me though, that no one was talking the same after the game as they were the few weeks before the game.

So, what's the deal with Marvin Shinn.  Maybe I read that situation all wrong, but wasn't there talk that he was the next Julio Jones?
14  Around Campus / The Quad / Re: 2013 Mock Draft on: May 01, 2012, 02:51:03 PM
I think there's almost NO chance that Tyler Wilson goes first and that Tyler Bray goes that high.
15  Around Campus / The Quad / Re: Braves continue where they left off last year on: April 09, 2012, 04:07:26 PM
2/162

2 runs/ 18 innings.

You are correct that it's only the 2nd game of 162, but I don't see anything they have offensively to show much improvement from where they are currently. I truly hope they prove me wrong. I fear they won't.
I'm with you.  I guess I'm just hoping they'll come alive.  When I look at the facts though, this season doesn't look that great.  I'm  a bit confused as to why the management didn't make moves to improve offensive production.
