In reply to: Have we finally burned through our equity? posted by potatohouse

at Michigan and couldn't move back up when other teams lost because that memory was fresh in the committee's mind. Had we lost by a single score on the road we would have dropped 4 or 5 places instead of 8 and we could have moved back up with our wins down the stretch. Getting demolished in that game ruined the season.

Had we won that game (I still think we're better than them, just not on that monsoon day) we'd be #5 right now and when Georgia loses to LSU it would be us or Utah and they'd take us I believe.

So to answer your question, we haven't lost the equity, we just got blown out at the worst time and couldn't recover.

Yep; I think they were fair both that game & UGA - irish2003 2019-12-05 16:00:06

- Sure, at the end of the year its bad but we could have moved - ndgenius 2019-12-05 11:18:31

- You misread his post. He said 8-ish for a loss, 5 for a win. * - undfan211 2019-12-05 10:50:14
  - You're right, I did. It makes sense as written * - ThreeD 2019-12-05 12:09:48
  - Correct although I think if we had beat ScuM they would have - ndgenius 2019-12-05 11:13:55
