What an SEC mess heading into tomorrow and Saturday

[msstate7]

First off, they don't consider last 10 games or last 5 games. Its nonconsequential as a stand alone metric. I know enough to be able to read what the NCAA releases that they take into consideration for prospective tournament teams. If a teacher gave you a practice test and said that everything on the practice test would be on the real test, would most of y'all be like "na, she's bluffing. she doesn't know what she's talking about" ? Because that's basically what has happened when discussing the team sheets.

I know you are smart enough to know there will be a human element. If it were just fill out those worksheets and those teams get in, a computer could wrap it up 1 min after the last championship game, no?

Yeah, I mean these are humans so that no doubt will be the case, but the majority of that will come via which metrics each person places more emphasis on i.e. predictive vs results based or SOS or ncSOS or Q1+Q2 wins or Q3+Q4 losses. There's so many things they're looking at it will be easy for some of the committee to cherry pick, but they've added an average of all the metrics to kind of distill it all down to a number for each team to simplify it for them. All I've said from the beginning is that if you're looking for ratings or rankings that would provide some clarity on State's position for selection-conference standings nor record are not something that need to be used (along with last X games) because they're not going to be on the team sheets.
