THE CURIOUS INDEX, 12/23/2011

PrintFAREWELL TO THEE, FAIR CAPTAIN. And this is our favorite moment from the bygone Dennis Erickson era.
Dennis Erickson went down with the ship, but you never anticipate that before the compartment floods and you drown that there will be all the...fire. And explosions. And the torture pirates with their hooks and lances, and jesus, bees? Where did the bees come from? Seriously, who puts a swarm of angry African bees on a ship? That makes no sense, but then again, neither does anything that happened in the Dennis Erickson era.
Kellen Moore and the rest of Boise's seniors finished their tours of duty by happily torpedoing the derelict S.S. Erickson, a victory foretold three days ago in the amazing Doug Martin victory in the Las Vegas Bowl dance-off.
YES THIS MEANS THEY WILL LIKELY BE VERY GOOD AT FOOTBALL THINGS. Matt Barkley is staying, and USC will have the most compelling bandito storyline next year as the team with nothing to lose with scholarships hitting the depth chart, but a loaded starting 11 on both sides of the ball. (Provided they play something like defense.) (And that is a large assumption.) (HOW THE HELL DID USC LOSE TO ARIZONA STATE REALLY THEY DID GO LOOK IT UP.)
DOO DOO IS AN AFFECTIONATE TERM. Jadeveon Clowney just loves Christmas, guys, and if tell him Santa isn't real he is going to cry so hard you'll never, ever get over the guilt. In other South Carolina news, they've figured out Georgia's future schedules and hooooweee, does Kentucky ever have it comin', son.
CONTINUED LAWYERING: NO, YOUR SUIT HAS NO BASIS. The Big East and West Virginia find a surprising lack of merit in each other's lawsuits against the other.
CLEMSON DOES NOT PASS A FASHION TEST. We'll agree that the Clemson unis are a matter of taste and loyalty, but are completely wrong about UCLA's uniforms.
SURPRISE! Texas is still rich.
DOUBLE SURPRISE! Auburn defenders were just falling down at the end of the LSU game.
HORRENDOUS. TAMU lost an offensive lineman in an auto accident yesterday. Condolences, thoughts, prayers of your choice in their direction for an unfathomable loss.

I have grievances against Ted Roof.
You ruined my bachelor party by failing epically in Fayettville (actually didn’t ruin it because boobies in the face after a loss makes everything better).
You completely shit the bed against LSU.
Did you even show up to the Georgia game? I think we would have been better off had you not.
Did you let your kids come up with the game plan for the Iron Bowl? Were safties and CBs assigned to escort Richardson to the endzone, just in case he got lost?

And I didn't have the speed. They put me at winger because I was too skinny to be in the pack.
but I didn’t have the speed or agility to be a good winger. It was my pity fuck and I ended up having surgery because of it.

I was a winger. Now (after putting on about 50 lbs) I could be a decent sized lock. And it’s because genetics felt like saying “We’ll give you height, but you’re fucked on weight. You must look anorexic from age 10-25.”

I have grievances against Virginia Tech.
Your colors are hideous.
Most of your fans are illiterate hillbilly bandwagoners who started rooting for you once Florida State and Miami (FL) started to suck.
Your football team admits more thugs and felons than Levenworth (ask Michael Vick, he’s attended both institutions).
You talk ridiculous amounts of shit for a program that has never won anything and was MAC-level before the 90’s.
You can’t sell 10,000 tickets to the Sugar Bowl, probably because you tried putting “sguer bawl ticxits” in the search bar and some donkey porn came up and you got distracted for the next two hours.
You’re basically Miami, only with 1/10th of the talent, 1/100th of the academic respectability, and none of the success.

Considering Virginia Tech’s annual research expenditures are, well, over $100,000,000 more than Miami.
Ironically, most of the bandwagon fans that I have personally encountered (i.e. people who did not actually attend the university of which they are fans) who are mostly illiterate and live in southwestern Virginia are actually fans of UVA.

BCS (specifically the sugar bowl) for not selecting K-State. Actually this isn’t really a grievance since it shows the BCS is not about good match ups as much as an old boys network that is concerned with money.
Cosh for not leaving K-State and continuing to be the DC at K-State. Please someone hire him as head coach, please.

Exactly.
It’s two incredibly evenly matched teams, and it will, as the last one did, come down to who makes the one brilliant play or the one crippling mistake at the crucial time.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
Things could be completely different
Even if bowl preparation time didn’t exist and college football teams weren’t dynamic, you could still play the same game between the same teams and reach wildly different outcomes each time. Factor in that teams change, motivations change, and the huge amount of bowl preparation time and any number of things could happen.

I think Baltimore is a Southern food town
Basically, anywhere that black folks greatly influenced the cuisine before the diaspora to the North in the first half of the 20th century. If you consider “soul food” to just be food, then you’re a Southern food town. I think Baltimore qualifies.

The fact that it's called soul food is the distinction
You don’t eat soul food in Macon. You eat at a meat and three. It’s just food.
Soul food was imported to the North by black immigrants, fleeing Jim Crow and looking for jobs. Places like Baltimore already had large black populations, and that was standard grub in Baltimore restaurants.

There are some arguments.
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=pearlman/070920
"The past is past. The future is now."
I think that Delaware also had something like five slaves, so they weren't terribly enthusiastic about secession
According to the NYT’s great Disunion series, the 1860 census map shows that Delaware had by far the lowest numerical (well, obviously) and proportional level of slavery.
Also, I hesitate strongly (although recognize the historical reality) of defining how Southern a state is simply by these measures.
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Dec 23, 2011 11:20 AM EST up reply actions
I guess it depends on whether you are defining Southern culturally, historically, or geographically.
Historically, you might include the slave states.
Geographically, it would be the dark green states on the map.
And culturally…well, hell, they don’t call it Pennsyltucky for nothing.

When people start arguing over a playoff system, I suggest a six-team system using the existing bowls set up like the NFL playoffs (the top two get a bye). Only instead of the top six teams in the BCS, it’s the six BCS conference champions.

Yep.
The fun part is hearing folks say “hey, that’s actually not a bad idea,” and then realizing the Boise, TCU, and Utah of historytimes would be locked out from day one, while last year’s Connecticut would be three games from a championship and this year’s UCLA four games away.
"The past is past. The future is now."
Eventually we're headed for 8 16-team conferences.
Then it can be a 12 team playoff- the 8 champs and the 4 highest ranked non-champs.

Is the national championship supposed to pit the two best teams in the country or add a caveat for your conference position?
I was #TeamOklahomaState through and through, and still am. But that was because I thought they had a better claim to the title spot. I don’t think the “didn’t win your conference” argument is compelling unless we conclude that the championship game should do something other than pit the two best teams in the country against each other. If LSU and Bama had the same records they have now, but every other team in the country were 6-6 (or 7-6 for conference champions), would we still want LSU to play a 7-6 team for the national title? If you instead argue that the championship game should pit the two best teams against each other unless one didn’t win its own conference, then you’ve got a compound question: “the championship game shouldn’t be all about who the best teams in the country are, but there should be an an asterisk in case the two teams happen to be associated in the same conference.” I don’t find that very convincing. Ultimately, in determining who should play in the championship game, what should matter is who the two best teams are, not whether they happen to be associated in the same semiregional athletics association. If you want to argue that Bama isn’t the second best team (and I think that argument could have merit), that’s fine, but it’s a separate issue.
Sposed to be SEC
what should matter is who the two best teams are,
That’s a beauty contest, and that’s fine, but it’s not compatible with a playoff structure that’s rationalized around conferences. You can’t complain that conference-based playoffs not producing that result is a bug. You can heartily dislike it and disagree with the premise, obviously, but the “win and you’re in” is the point.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
Yeah, it seems pretty self-evident to me that if you don't win your conference, it is impossible for you to be the best team in the country.
The BCS championship matchup is supposed to be between teams that are possibly the best in the country.

Florida lost to Ole Miss in 06. They played a harder schedule and they have the same record.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
only playing 3 ranked teams is always a good argument for putting a team that can't win its division into a 'championship' game.

One more try
By this logic, Alabama’s MNCG argument would be lessened if you had beaten LSU but lost to Georgia Southern on the road in overtime after turning the ball over 5 times. Despite the fact that you would have beaten the team that is currently considered the undisputed best in the country.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
Um yes.
Yes it would. It absolutely would be lessened.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
I don't agree AT ALL
under those circumstances, I think you would be number 1 in the country, and justifiably so.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
No.
Two teams with identical schedule and identical record are identical.
Beating LSU and losing to GSU is the same as losing to LSU and beating GSU.
Which is why OSU should be in the title game, they had the same record as Bama and played a tougher schedule. Whether they lost to ISU or OU shouldnt make difference.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
Obviously it's impossible to prove a hypothetical
But if Alabama had beaten LSU and then lost to Georgia Southern, I’d bet Oklahoma State (even with the loss), Stanford, and maybe even a pre-ACC championship VT would have jumped them. Whether or not that is fair is a different question, but I’m almost sure that’s what would’ve happened.
I’m also sure that if that were the case, and LSU had lost by 3 to Alabama in OT while dominating the rest of their schedule as they did, that the general consensus would be LSU should be in the NC game over Bama. And that consensus would be correct.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
No.
Bama would have played in the SECCG, won the SEC, and would be #1 in the country, I think. And that would be correct.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
Again, no way to prove this.
But I disagree.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
fair enough
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
I think it could go either way
depending if you value head-to-head greater than SOS or not.
My argument was based on SOS but was assuming no head to head (or split). In case of head-to-head, most find that the superior tiebreaker.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
While we're arguing hypotheticals
If you throw margin of victory into the calculations, Bama is the clear winner over OSU.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

If Bama would say we lucked out in making the NCG
that would be one thing, but to say “we deserve to be in it since we only lost to LSU” while degrading OSU’s harder schedule and a loss after a tragic accident is something else.
Normally I would root for Bama but not in this instance.

possibly.
Depends on how much you value it in the algorithm.
I personally dont give a damn at all. Some disagree, but in my mind, a 1 pt win is exactly as valuable as a 41 pt win.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
I disagree.
I’d say a 21 point victory is the same as a 41 point victory, but winning by 1 is not the same as winning by 21 IF you’re trying to actually determine the best two teams in football.

The championship game is supposed find the BEST team
not the second best. The championship game attempts to accomplish this by pitting the two highest teams against each other.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
premature posting fail
The problem is that we don’t really accomplish anything by pitting Bama and LSU. If LSU played Okie State it would eliminate all controversy about the title, which is not going to happen as it is.
My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (--its will to power:) and to thrust back all that resists its extension.
If Bama wins and I had a vote
I would still vote LSU #1.
They have a better schedule than either Bama or OSU. And the head-to-head with Bama is a wash.

I've drawn up some sketches for those.
And actually, after consolidation, it’s going to be even more obvious that there’s two tiers of I-A football. The SEC, ACC, B1G, and Pac-12. Then the SunBeast, WAC, MAC, and MWC/C-USA.
Are we really going to put Arkansas State and Northern Illinois on the same footing as LSU and Oregon? I don’t see it. (Also of note – the highest-ranked team this system would leave out in the cold this year is Kansas State. They just can’t win.)

No, we're not
We’re heading for maybe two (the ACC and MWC/CUSA). You can’t get more than that without the Big 12 blowing up (and not being replaced with another conference with Texas and Oklahoma in it) and Notre Dame joining the Big Ten, and neither of those is likely to happen. Or rather you could, but only if conferences wanted to add schools that they clearly don’t, or schools that clearly do not want to move from where they are changed their minds.
Yes, but.
Texas and Oklahoma aren’t going to stay in a demonstrably weak Big-12 for very long. As this year demonstrated, it’s going to be next to impossible for a one-loss Big-12 team to get into the NCG, and there aren’t any more obvious expansion targets – TCU and WVU aren’t really marquee gets anyway. They talk a big game, but they’ll jump ship to the Pac-16 or B1G-16 within a couple years.

And the Big-12 saved their skin with the Fox renewal last year, but their ABC/ESPN contract is up in 2016. I suspect the negotiations on renewing that will be, to make a bad joke, their Alamo.
"The past is past. The future is now."
Doubtful.
Texas wants their network. B1G and Pac 12 both say Nyet. Do you think the SEC wants Texas and their network? Would the ACC want Texas?

Disagree.
If the ACC had wanted to sell its soul to get Texas, they would have approached this year’s round substantially differently.
"I only wish both sides of the dysfunctional sibling rivalry that has throttled a half-dozen longstanding rivalries and ballooned the SEC and ACC to a ridiculous 14 teams each could have lost on the last play." -- Brian Cook
Challenge the premise.
I think Texas would trade the network for SEC money. They might still take a small revenue hit (network valued around $15M/year, SEC deal would net tham about $10M/year more than the Big-12’s), but as the Big-12’s competitiveness keeps dwindling, they’re going to have to do something. I refuse to believe that they’ll cling to a sinking ship just because no one else will give them exactly what they want.

The Big 12 is arguably stronger now than it was last year
TCU and WVU are better than Texas A&M and Missouri. I’d be surprised if they’re done expanding. I could see BYU and/or Air Force coming on board in the near future.

Replacing Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, and Missouri with TCU, WVU, BYU, and Air Force does not strengthen the marketability or athletic prowess of the conference in any dimension.
