In Reply to: SMU beat Sagarin #15 Louisville and #30 TCU. Alabama lost... posted by Born2BBruin on December 08, 2024 at 00:04:24
true all that - and I don't have a horse in this race at all, but you compared who SMU beat with who Alabama lost to. Alabama's case is based on whom they beat.
To me, strength of schedule matters a lot. (Think - on the other board - UCLA MBB vs Oregon. UCLA has a single loss and a really glitzy record of outstanding defense. But against whom? Going undefeated against cupcakes just doesn't compare with playing tough opposition game in and game out.
We'll see but seems to me Penn State has been handed a really good opportunity
