Aboslutly, take for example last year NDSU beat the SDSU for a rivalry trophy and beat them again later in the playoffs, its such a lazy excuse...

Teams beating the same team twice in the same season isn't that uncommon..

It's actually quite common for the same team not to beat the same team twice too. "According to statistics gathered from College Football Data, from 1950 to the end of the 2019 season, there were 78 rematches during the same season. The winner of the regular-season game won the rematch 44 times or 56.4% of the time.

According to research produced by the NCAA a few years ago, 20 of 33 conference championship game rematches resulted in a win for the team that also won the regular-season game — 60.6%."

Do you guys ever do any research before you spout off your nonsense and make mistakes?
 
You know why it might be difficult to beat a team twice? Because they are pretty darn good football teams. So how about we say it correctly, "It is difficult to beat darn good football teams twice.".

We know, beating a team a 2nd time happens more than 50% of the time. That is why it happens all the time

Over 50% does not equal "all the time". If you'd gone to MSU, you would know that. Why doesn't the first-time winner win the 2d game all or almost all of the time? Answer: because it's hard to beat a team twice in the same year. Just as I said.
 
When you remove the bad teams from the equation that splits that stat. It happens all the time You would think an alleged Ivy leaguer would comprehend simple math

He said, "Teams beating the same team twice in the same season isn't that uncommon.."

Your stats are proving his point. You're arguing over nothing.

No, my stats show that IS fairly common. 44% and 40% is fairly common. How can you make such a dumb argument?

But if you want to say or stipulate that 45% of the time a football team doesn't beat the same team twice in a season. I'm open with that. That was my point.

Ok. I'll admit I'm recovering from being sick, but I must be losing my mind.

He said, "Teams beating the same team twice in the same season isn't that uncommon.." Which to anybody who knows the English language, means the same thing as, "Teams beating the same team twice in the same season is common."

Your stats show that 56% of the time and 60% of the time, the original winner won the rematch. Meaning of course, that teams beating the same team twice in the same season happens the majority of the time, and thus, is common.

Which means that you and the other dude are arguing the same point.

Can you show us the stats that does that and backs out the bad teams? I'd like to see your backup for that statement. A bigmouth punk kid on a computer should be able to do that.

Don't think I disputed that beating a team twice in season isn't that uncommon. I just said that not beating a team twice in a season is not that uncommon either, and I actually agreed with him. You need to read what I say more carefully if you want to disagree about it. This is what I said above.

Not necessarily bad teams but rematches against a great team where there is a big talent differential like NDSU Illinois State rematch I think you can pencil in that one the regular season winner will win again in the playoffs. Removing those types of games I believe would make the team who lost win at least 50 percent of the time in the rematch.
 
I can guarantee I know very little about football when compared to other posters. This much I do know. A gauge of a programs success can be based on a teams fan board. Let’s take a look at Egriz. Numerous Cat posters are on Egriz throughout the year. They show up in droves when something good happens with their team. Now let’s look at Bobcat Nation. I don’t post there and rarely go to that site. If I do, it is to look at something specific like recruiting activity. Based on the activity of both sites and the number of posters from the opposing team, the Griz own MSU fans. How? They are living rent free in their heads. MSU just won the rivalry game, has home field advantage and their fans are spending time posting on Egriz. So very little brother. When the Griz win, I don’t run to BN to pound my chest like something amazing happened. To beat the Cats is expected. Griz have competition now and have to bring their A game to the Brawl. Pendulums swing. I won’t be on BN posting when it does again. A good chance it could swing in the three Saturday’s. Then Cat fans will be making excuses on Egriz. It’s only sensible. They practically live on this site.

Weird you used the term "pencil" and not something more permanent.
