[QUOTE="hfhmilkman, post: 3236429, member: 74736"] If you go by AP preseason top 4 for filling out the NC brackets, the hit rate is almost 50%. The preseason national rankings of the 8 winners are 5, 3,6,4,1,2,3,5. 5 of the 8 NC's were in the preseason top 4. Regardless of the pre season rankings, every single one of those teams was loaded with NFL players. I already mentioned the Ohio State players still playing in the NFL. LSU, which is the #6 team had Burrow and Chase. The other team outside the pre season top25, 2021 Georgia has 5 defensive starters drafted in the 1st round. Talent absolutely prevails. If I had to put my life on picking a team to win the NC, it would Georgia. So yes. Combine measurements are very useful for picking winners. Perhaps not when two giants collide. But it is very useful for picking winners. I will be the first to be rooting for TCU if they get past my team. It would be great for college football for there to be such a NC. Then again there is reality. My major is Physics. My favorite subject was Thermodynamics. I loved it because you could derive the gas laws from statistical mechanics. Boltzmann was my favorite historical scientist because of his discovery of statistical mechanics. Yes, there is a possibility that all of the air in your room will randomly exit. But it will functionally not happen. That is what it is like playing Georgia when you do not have the talent to stay in the game. Perhaps if the college game had the NFL clock that kept on ticking after a made first down. But the college game is too long for an overmatched team in the NC format. [/QUOTE]
