They do it on pourpose. At the end of the season review they can call out who was right. In doing so they can say "this was a 9.5 on the boldness scale," and can drive a point with how awesome and unpredictable the college football season is. Than in return they get more veiwers and they create their own clickbait.
Josh, have to define better statistical season because on the graphic you showed, the argument could be made that Mertz has better stats. Mertz has a higher completion percentage and a much, much better TD/INT ratio. That one is kind of nebulous.
I think his scales have just been off the charts lately. I don't know if I'm not watching enough of them, but most have been either so silly that they shouldn't even be read (Colorado to the CFP), or are like this. I agree I think it should be a bit lower. I still think it's unlikely to happen. Mertz is stationary, and in any other season his year over year improvements should have been staggering. But they're not just facing 8 ranked opponents, most of them are there because of their defense. Ward statistically is already ahead of Mertz, is going to potentially have year over year increases like Mertz, but is going to an offense that averages 20 points better in PFF offensive line grades than the one he's coming from. I think the one thing that might be in Mertz's favor is he's losing Etienne, and Ward is getting Martinez. I'd put this one at a 7 solely because of that. Miami's schedule is much MUCH easier, Ward's cast around him is a huge talent upgrade, but that could mean Mertz is relied on more and pulls out higher stats.
I was going to call BS on a 9+ on B1G having more teams in the final four, but seeding was definitely something I hadn't considered. I imagine Sankey...pardon sorry I imagine the CFP committee, definitely *not* Sankey, is going to figure out a way to create the easiest path forward for SEC teams. They have already proved they'll do whatever it takes, unprecedented things, to get the SEC representation, even in years where other conferences have to miss out. If there were 12 last year I have no doubt in my mind they would have figured out a way to justify Georgia in 5th so that they faced Liberty.
If Brock Bowers had stayed healthy, he more than likely would have won the Heismen last year, so while I understand it’s rare, I don’t think the idea of a non QB winning heisman is that mind boggling of a concept.
That team with Waddle and Dickerson is the greatest team ever. Lots of people talking about LSU. Let’s say they lose Jamaar Chase midyear and then lose their center in the SEC title.

I can’t help but feel like the boldness scale has been inflated over the past few years😂
Most people try to get a 9.5 or higher I feel like lol
“This is probably going to happen, this is an 8.25 on the boldness scale”
“I can’t imagine this NOT happening. That’s a 7.5 on the boldness scale.”

This is the heaviest allegation ever dropped in the comments. - JP
Miami fan here. Do not underestimate our ability to f up Cam Ward.
3 9.5s and I’m here for it
Great show and Academy are awesome
I’m taking that Graham Mertz prediction

4:40 or a player that plays both ways, I don't think it'll Happen but If He plays good I can see it
So you’re saying Tennessee is the only sec team in the final 4 and James Pearce wins the Heisman?
Xavier Watts for Heisman.

I don't think Mertz vs Ward should be a 9.5, should've been no more than a 8.25 at most!

Why would they need to justify Ga at 5? They lost 1 game by 3 points they were clearly top 4...
What would the rating be if you changed it to top 10 offense and top 20 defense?
A wide receiver from Alabama wins the Heisman this year!
If Brock Bowers had stayed healthy, he more than likely would have won the Heismen last year, so while I understand it’s rare, I don’t think the idea of a non QB winning heisman is that mind boggling of a concept.
What's crazy is if waddle never gets hurt Mac Jones would have a Heisman because he would have took yards and TDs away from Smitty
That team with Waddle and Dickerson is the greatest team ever. Lots of people talking about LSU. Let’s say they lose Jamaar Chase midyear and then lose their center in the SEC title.
If a non QB is winning this year I have a feeling it’s Ollie Gordon
Haynes king is a Heisman finalist
Miami has a very lackluster year. Colorado exceeds expectations. Coach Prime is the new head coach of the Miami Hurricanes.
Jaydon Blue and Cedrick Baxter of TEXAS
4 teams from the SEC will be in the playoffs. Certain schedules will dictate this.😊
Mertz is the 4th best Qb
I could see Tennessee going 9-3.
What up Josh, don't know if you'll see this but I have a bold prediction that should be talked about. LSU will win 3 Natty's before the year 2030.
Tennessee fans are always so delusional
Clemson beats Georgia but loses the next week to app state
LSU will go 11-1 make the playoffs & surprise & defeat one or two teams that they probably shouldn’t.😊
BOLD PREDICTION. Michigan finishes 5th in the B1G TEN
Not bold. 7-2 in conference may well be 5th.
You sound like a broken record. 😆
@@grondhero Very true. Guilty as charged. 💯
@@jasonmkc7797 Yellow Pants fans tell me they are ready to grab another Natty this year. Nope
@@cjpreach Lots of fans say that about their team in July. Mich's fans were right last year. Mich will take a step back.
