Something to Ponder: 2015 SOS

[Epictitus]

While some seem to malign the ND SOS and others flat out lie about the same here is a analysis of the 2015 SOS based on the Phil Steele Power Ranking pointing out once again the outright lies and hypocrisy of the resident idiot, Mo1e, and he attempts, unsuccessfully, to minimize and lie about all things Irish.

It is on record as saying that FSU always plays a tougher SOS, using ONE poll from 2014 while disregarding all others showing the opposite. For 2015 he again stated FSU will play a tougher schedule and has lied about reality of overall SOS thru the years disregarding years of data proving the opposite. I have taken a few minutes to look at the upcoming season and it is clear that once again the ND SOS far surpasses that of FSU even giving the highest ranking I can to the two non-D1 programs FSU plays in 2015. Please note that ND has never played a non D1 program. Anyway, here are the opponents and overall power ranking by each:

ND opponents:
Texas - 28
Virginia - 51
GTech - 24
UMASS - 95
Clemson - 22
Navy - 82
USC - 4
Temple - 61
PITT - 42
Wake - 99
Boston College - 69
Stanford - 8

Average of 48.75

FSU Opponents:
Texas State 129
USF 106
BC 69
Wake 99
Miami 25
Louisville 37
GT 24
Syracuse 93
Clemson 22
Chattanooga 129
Gators 40
NC State 47

Average of 68.33

Interesting, and clearly pointing out Mo1e is once again showing his ass. No real news there.

You are using preseason rankings to make declarative statements about the schedule at the end of the season?

 

[Epictitus]

The overview is clearly defined as a pre-season look. It is there to make a point for discussion and to show the hypocrisy Mo1e makes when saying that FSU will "once again" play a tougher OS than the Irish. That is simply not true, again!

 

[SALittleGiant513]

But the preseason rank doesn't actually disprove Nole.

 

[IrishBlooded]

This is from Phil Steele's power rankings. This isn't a ranking of where he expects them to finish, or even start. This is a ranking of how he believes teams will perform based on their own talent vs the talent they will face through the season.

From Phil Steele:

Read'em and weep...

One of the drawbacks of providing so much information in my annual College Football Preview is that some of the reasoning behind my ratings and projections can be difficult to grasp. Longtime readers of the magazine tend to understand the meaning of the different systems upon which I rely to make predictions (as well as my always expanding list of abbreviations), but some of the ratings may be a bit overwhelming for new readers.

Two of the most popular rankings are my Preseason Top 40 and my Power Poll, both of which appear each year in the magazine. In addition to including more teams (all 128 FBS teams), the Power Poll also differs from my Top 40 in terms of its rationale. The difference is straightforward: my Top 40 is a projection of where each team will finish, while the Power Poll is a ranking of each team based on their overall talent level. So why are the rankings different? The reason is schedule: one team may be more talented than another, but finish with a worse record based on a tougher schedule.

The next question you might be asking is, “how is the Power Poll calculated?” To evaluate teams, I rely on nine different of power ratings that look at different factors. The Power Poll is an aggregate of all nine sets of power ratings, so it tends to be the most accurate summation of how I rate each team. In essence, the Power Poll is the result of numerous computer rankings that have been developed over many years of close study.

Here is something more to ponder, doofus. The 2015 pre-season schedule ranking has no bearing on the actual end of season 2014 schedule ranking. One is based on prognostication, one is based on what actually happened.

Let's be clear here. Argus only lies when types.

I haven't uttered one word about the 2015 FSU strength of schedule here or anywhere else. Not the first word. But I will go on record saying that the schedule will be dumbed down from last year when the SOS was ranked 22 by Sagarin.

Also, I don't render opinions as facts like argus does. I support most everything I say with FACTS and links anyone can click on. Or simply repeat what others have stated.

Even someone as stupid as this nut job can do their own research and find that ANYTHING I have ever said regarding the historical SOS of both FSU and ND is 100% true. It's not my opinion. It's the factual conclusion of the model the so called guru's use to determine the SOS. Anyone can check out the stats I have supplied.

And how predictable of argus to always pick and chose the one guru's opinion that might support his BS and ignore the rest. Like his recently using the NCAA Method of determining SOS because it showed ND's schedule a little tougher than usual and ignoring others that didn't.

Well here argus: read it and weep...... the NCAA Method projecting the 2015 SOS

Too funny how stupid you are calling me out. You always get the crap beat out of you by not only me but most everyone else at this site for the delusional BS you continually bore the posters at this site with.

 

[Epictitus]

Too funny, Mo1e is outed once again by simply using his own words.

The NCAA Method to rank SOS? Yes, that is the same method that showed the season ending SOS for ND as #1 and FSU in the 60's! That is the same method that you discounted as fraud because it did not reach your hypocritical conclusion.

I never said this was anything other than what it is, a projection to ponder, but Mo1e had to lie about all things Irish because he is a POS!

 

[SALittleGiant513]

You got the link for when ND's SOS was #1?

You're just trying to stir up trouble by exposing us to your usual crazy a$$ rhetoric. You lied AGAIN..... period. You said I made a statement about FSU's SOS and how it was stronger than ND's in 2015. That's a blatant lie as I have never said anything about FSU's (or ND's) 2015 SOS. Anywhere!

You just made that up like you do everything. You're famous for that all over Rivals. Just another reason why you're banned everywhere but at this unmoderated site.

Now link my 2015 SOS comments and I'll never post here again. They'll be in the archives if they exist.

Also, as requested link the 2014 NCAA Method final results showing ND #1. You can't but that certainly won't stop you from making that up. Sagarin had ND at 34. I don't expect you to recognize that. Until, of course, he ranks you higher than the much criticized NCAA Method. Then he'll be the expert.

 

[DubsDreader]

Right, and you also never accused B. Kelly of murder, never said Bowden or FSU never cheated, never said there was an ongoing affair with Winston and the girl he raped and never said Coach Holtz was a cheater.

Mo1e, you are a pig, a proven liar made more reprehensible by you efforts to distort what you have actually stated.

Just go away you POS!

 

[SALittleGiant513]

That's not actually responsive to the point

You just can't help yourself. You are pathological. A sick individual.

Have never made the first comment on the Sullivan case. Ever. And if I did I would agree with Kelly's lack of complicity. You just made that up.

Never said FSU didn't cheat. Exactly the opposite. The players and general student population did on an online music course. You just made that up.

Never said there was an ongoing affair with the girl who lied. Said I had read where two reliable sources said they knew each other (it was all over the boards). I haven't got the slightest idea if they did. You just made that up.

I did say Holtz was a cheater. Based on your definition he was and there are plenty of articles one can link stating that. He even admitted he broke rules. Under his watch four schools went on NCAA probation including ND. You know this.

Bowden never did cheat and you have yet to find anyone to ever accuse him of that. Your deluded opinions of Bowden mean nothing. You just made that up.

Do you see a trend in your sick behavior? Everyone else does. And none of them believe a word you say because you lie, exaggerate, make stuff up, take things out of context. I could go on. You aren't to be believed by any sane person.

BTW you calling anyone a pig is the height of hypocrisy.

Quit the lying crazy person. You continue to embarrass the fans of this fine institution. No wonder you couldn't get in.

Duo knew that. It's just something you can't believe comes from a supposed adult day after day. The lack of integrity is mind alltering. Outside of Washington these past six plus years who would believe it's possible.

You may have set some sort of world record for most lies in a 24 hour period. Although that's just a normal day for you.

Why not tell us your irrefutable source who told you Winston and the girl he raped had an ongoing affair or just admit you lied? You wake up lying!

 

[SALittleGiant513]

1. Wake up
2. Check the boards while I am giving scout a bottle
3. See epic has posted without providing the link requested.
4. See epic has brought up Nole and asked for a link from him instead about an off topic issue.
5. Rinse, repeat... happy Saturday

Jerome Bettis says he sold crack during rough Detroit upbringing
From Yardbarker20 hrs agohttp://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...ck-during-rough-detroit-upbringing/ar-AAdrnaM

© George Gojkovich/Getty Images Jerome Bettis is extremely proud were he comes from, but that does not mean his youth growing up in Detroit was always so great.By Jason Rowan

Jerome Bettis has never shied away from expressing deep pride over the fact he was born and raised in Detroit. But comments made during a recent interview show his glowing fondness for his hometown doesn’t necessarily mean all things were rosy while growing up.

During an appearance (video here) on syndicated sports talk show “In Depth with Graham Bensinger,” Bettis, who will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, discusses growing up on the mean streets of The Motor City, revealing that he sold crack during his rough and tumble upbringing.

“The mind-set was, ‘We’re in the hood. Mom and Dad, they’re working their butts off. There’s no money around,” Bettis recalls about selling crack with his brother, as transcribed in a Detroit Free-Press report. “We need to make some money.’ So we said, ‘You know what? Let’s give it a shot.’ And it was one of those moments that you regret, but at the moment, that was the only thing that was really available to us.”

Awesome Nole thanks for staying on track

 

[DubsDreader]

He sure is on track........a track of never ending lies.

Your selective memory never ceases to amaze. What part of " it was discussed all over the message boards" do you not understand? I just reported it as a " I heard that two reliable sources said they knew each other". One was a close friend of Winston who happened to be the son of an acquaintance (he stated his son shared that with him). The other was from an ex-assistant coach at FSU who said his head coach said the same thing. Have a problem with what they said .... too bad. Point is I never said I knew one way or another only that I was told by a very reliable source close to the situation.

That's the last time I will address your stupid comments regarding this lie you continue to perpetuate. Stick it where the sun don't shine going forward. Your constant lying is starting to irritate me. Fortunately everyone worth a hoot here recognizes you for what you are. A deranged idiot with a sick obsession.

 

[DubsDreader]

You are an absolute liar and a complete POS. Rhat is not what you said and I am glad others know and remember the things you said about Winston being a poor victim, Bowden never cheating and Kelly being a murderer. You will rot in Hell wearing your FSU cap!

Let's put it to a ND vote to see who the POS and liar is..... shall we?

You can't use a keyboard without lying through your teeth. No one except you and your usernames has ever called me a liar or accused me of being one. Everyone at this site and all others where you are banned have called you a liar and that includes numerous mods who have referred to you as "the biggest liar in all of Rivals".

Bowden never cheated. What part of that don't you get? I don't deny ever saying that. The truth hurts ya. Everything else you have said I said is a lie. Never said any of it and you won't find one person in agreement with you. Why? Because they would be lying too.

It took me less than 5 minutes to find this you imbecille. No1e has never wavered.....

"And one more time ... I never stated Winston and the girl had a previous relationship. I personally do not believe that. I stated that two reliable sources stated that both publically and privately. One was a close bud that hangs out with Winston and one was a current head FSU coach (as stated by a past assistant coach) of another sport . If they were wrong then so be it. I never stated any such thing about the two. I simply reported what others had said."

Thanks .... been saying this for two years.

When you lie you HAVE to remember what you said or you you get caught in that reuse easily. Thus Argus gets caught all the time. This is why he gets confused which username said what and he consistently responds using the wrong username. He forgets who said what or which username is responding . He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Dumb as a rock.

When you tell the truth you don't have to remember what you said because the stories remain the same. Like mine. Argus hasn't experienced that phenomenon too often.

It gets really sad when he attempts to discuss football. His scouting reports for NFL draft day were perhaps the most idiotic ever written for that event. It is darn near impossible to be wrong on everything all the time... He was reading and quoting things from articles that didn't exist. Crazy.... Then there was the dining/golfing with Holtz. It is hard to believe he doesn't take those opportunities to discuss his feelings on Bowden with Lou..... Lou would pancake him.

You can bluster all you want as anyone with a brain knows Mo1e is a stone cold liar and cgvr may be an even bigger fraud. The very fact that you try to portray Bowden as other than a scumbag says all.

Unlike you Bowden is one of the most respected coaches by his peers, players and sports gurus in the history of the game. He's lauded for his honesty and integrity and awards are named after him.

Now you on the other hand also win awards and polls throughout Rivals. Just not for honesty, integrity or anything to do with sanity. You should be proud that you are recognized by real fans of the game for something. They say even bad publicity can be good. At least in the demented mind of a crazy person. The good news is the rest of us quality humans have you as a basis of comparison for the person no one wants to be like.

Explain to me why your opinion on Bowden is more credible/valid than Tony Dungy's?

Below is the link to the foreward that Tony Dungy wrote for Bowden's book .

Educate yourself.... that is if you can figure out how to turn the "virtual page".

I am guessing you won't be able to "navigate" it...
