Is CB still upset over the transfer of Crew Wakley? Didn't look like we missed him at all in the bowl game...

No. But some are still sad about Crew Wakley.

Indy Coug

Sounds like you prefer resume metrics, such as SOR, SP+ resume, or K Ford Most Deserving

TCuz

Losses just need to be weighted heavily against a team. A 4 loss Bama team is not a top 10 team (top 5 in some of those)
