mjp28 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 WV sucks My YSU Penguins played WVU early this year on a really hot day in Morgantown and was leading for a part of the first half, tied at halftime 14-14 until WVU finally put them away 38-21. 1-AA vs 1-A is generally a tough matchup. And I was told by some West by God Virginia people it's WVU not WV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Maybe everyone will be taking a back seat to Washington this year. Fair to say? No. Because WSU has been killing the same teams. Bama and OSU still own the right to be called the top teams. I guess Clemson too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 More defensive stats: - S&P+ believes we would give up 3.7 points to the average D1 team. Clemson is 2nd at 10.3 - We're also #1 in YPP allowed, YPA allowed, RZ trips allowed and TFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us what you did, not what someone thinks you would do. S&P believes Scarlett Johansen would want to ravish my naked body......so, maybe you have a point there.

wargograw Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 "TAMU is still maybe the 5th best team in the state." Texas-hot garbage Houston-Group of 5 loss TCU-loss to a team we beat, 2 losses overall Baylor-undefeated, one decent win against OSU at home TAMU-undefeated, 4 ranked wins, 5 P5 wins (both stats leading the country) You really need to lose the false bravado. At least on this board when you're clearly not as big a CFB fan as the rest of us. I mean, who at 95 years old (or whatever you are) has never been to a home game of their favorite team?

wargograw Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well now that I think about it I used a combination of victories over teams ranked at the time and teams ranked now. It was 3 at the time of the win. UCLA is now unranked. Auburn is now ranked. By the end of the year I expect those to hold as well as Arkansas probably won't be ranked but LSU will.

What is is about the word "maybe" that you don't understand? And this was written afte like week one. And for like the last 5 years it wasn't a "maybe" that the Aggies were not close to the best team in the state.....they were proven not to be the best team. Now, this year, so far, it seems to be different. And face it.....it wasn't just me that underestimate your team....They were not even ranked in the Top 25 of the preseason poll: http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/alabama-clemson-top-cbs-sports-128-preseason-college-football-rankings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wargograw Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 It wasn't "you may be 5th." It was "you're MAYBE 5th" (implication 5th AT BEST). Then I said "we could also be first. Stop trolling." You denied both. It was typical Gipper trolling. And now you look like an idiot. That's your problem. You look at numbers.

Yes, before this season started.....your team definitely was rated about 5th best.....and not by me, by the national pollsters etc. So I just was going by them and by their performance a year ago. And if by saying "you don't watch"....its true...I don't watch Texas A&M games. I don't live in Texas, I live in Ohio. I watch Ohio State and maybe some of the other big matchups of the week. Now, perhaps, this week I will watch Texas A&M....as they play Alabama......and I will be hoping they win. And that is all you are going to get out of me as far as TAMU is concerned. I am not an Aggie lap licker like you....I am not obligated to praise them.

I watch Ohio State just about every week. I usually get Michigan games going on and off of my second tv on gamedays. When there is even a remotely big Big 10 game, I am tuned in. I am constantly checking scores and stats on Saturday. You are out of your element talking college football with me. Find me where a majority of pollsters had Texas above A&M in the preseason. They were unranked, just like A&M was. If recent program history was such a big deal to you, there's no way you'd have put them above A&M. While you don't have an obligation to be an "Aggie lap licker," you do apparently feel the need to be an Aggie hater, and make really stupid arguments in the process.

The Gipper Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 So if you, by your own admission, don't watch, maybe STFU about it? No, that would not be productive or entertaining. I watch Ohio State just about every week. I usually get Michigan games going on and off of my second tv on gamedays. When there is even a remotely big Big 10 game, I am tuned in. I am constantly checking scores and stats on Saturday. You are out of your element talking college football with me. Don't think so....just because I do have a life outside of watching football does not mean that I don't watch my share of it. I am certainly knowledgeable to keep up with the likes of a DAT like you. Find me where a majority of pollsters had Texas above A&M in the preseason. They were unranked, just like A&M was. If recent program history was such a big deal to you, there's no way you'd have put them above A&M. Not sure I claimed that Texas would absolutely be ahead of you.....I said they may be...and that Houston, TCU, and Baylor all also may be. This was like before the season started or after the first game of the year. So, A&M were unrated....ergo I was right to say that the national pollsters did not think that much of them. Operative term: I was right. Now, I never claimed that they didn't have the opportunity to prove all those other pollsters (and myself being the least of them...I don't have a vote). they have had the opportunity and ran with it. While you don't have an obligation to be an "Aggie lap licker," you do apparently feel the need to be an Aggie hater, and make really stupid arguments in the process. I am not really an Aggie hater....though I am somewhat of a stupid person hater. And here was my stupid argument...made prior to the season: That A&M may have been only the 5th best team in their state. I made this statement based on the fact that in the AP Poll, TCU was ranked, Houston was ranked, Baylor was ranked, and A&M and Texas were both unranked. So....you are saying that it is stupid of me to look at the polls at a particular point in time and go by those rankings? Which is all I did. Would it not also be stupid of me to look at the polls right now....where A&M is ranked #6. If I was stupid to do so then, why would it not also be stupid now? (and FYI, Baylor is still ranked #9 and Houston #11). A&M simply has been able to prove the pollsters wrong (not me....I didn't have a vote...I went by what they said). So, I mean, there is some kind of Forrest Gump statement in there somewhere. Bottom line to you apparently is: it is stupid to consider the polls when thinking about where these teams stand. I guess in your mind that is also stupid to think that those 5 teams ahead of A&M are better than A&M?...simply because you are an A&M fan? What I think is that your team has a beautiful opportunity to prove everyone wrong...including me if you are so worried about me. So let's seem them put up.

You think that polling is illegitimate? You think that you knew more about how A&M was going to do than every media member, coach, SID etc. etc. in the country knew? Well, here is something I think I know: A&M will get hammered to hell by Alabama, embarassingly so....and they will end up behind both Baylor and Houston in the next poll.

Lol, but you're not an A&M hater. Got it. Polling is legitimate for giving fans an idea of teams, but it really means nothing. You made a bad read of the polls, and now are backtracking with "well I was just reading what the polls said" (even though basically no poll had Texas above A&M). To show your dumbassery, IF A&M lost this weekend AND dropped below both Baylor and UH in the polls, in your mind, those would actually be better teams than A&M, lol. That alone shows the fallibility of polling, no matter how much you refuse to recognize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
