College football analysts and enthusiasts are discussing the flaws in ESPN's Strength of Record (SOR) metric, which overranks undefeated teams with weak schedules. Critics argue that the formula is mathematically flawed, citing examples of teams like BYU and Navy being ranked high despite having weak schedules. This has led to debates about the best way to evaluate teams, with some suggesting that metrics like winning percentage and strength of schedule should be given more weight.

"In the above vein Chambliss is arguably the Rubicon case because Chambliss isn't within the 5-year window and isn't a JUCO.

"Diego Pavia is the big antitrust case everyone follows about college eligibility but that case is more nuanced than most think and centers around him being a JUCO. In short JUCOs are not part of the NCAA system. They have no vote or participation in the NCAA. So when the NCAA passes rules counting JUCO years against them you can understand why a "monopoly" argument gains some real weight. Now I don't agree with the ruling - JUCO is college and limiting kids to [--] years of college is fair - but I do think the JUCO rule is hard to square with letting kids playing semi-pro ball overseas not lose"

"Simply a different ruling by this court. The argument for Pavia is that it would be impossible to calculate lost NIL value from denying him eligibility (somewhat reasonable given who would have thought he'd be a Heisman finalist). Tbh I think the Tuscaloosa judge may have gotten this wrong for the same reason - if Bediako turns Alabama into a Final Four team that monetary value is grossly different than what it looks like now if Alabama goes 1-and-done.

"To get into the legal weeds a bit one of the major issues was actually not the merits of the case but rather whether Bediako could be adequately compensated by monetary damages if an injunction was denied. Courts generally won't impose an injunction if any harm can later be "made whole" by imposing damages on the other party. The reason being the court would rather not impose a remedy without having the chance to rule on the merits of who was right (injunctions are pre-ruling).
