I like cheese.

From reading Twitter and the comments section of blogs, I see a lot of instances of “OU and UCLA are overscored compared to Florida/Georgia/LSU/insert X school” and I’d just like to put out the perspective that they’re all overscored and in some instances these other schools are being even MORE overscored *gasp* [calm not - I didn’t say always and I’m not denying the boatloads of overscoring these two schools receive because it’s massive and not always evenly distributed]

Just because a school hasn’t received a 10 yet doesn’t mean it’s not receiving its fair share of overscoring - or even more so. If a score gets a 9.85 when you saw more than enough deductions to give it a 9.7 - that’s a whopping .15 overscore! And when that happens many times over and gets the school to a 195/6/7 it may look like nothing next to a 197.8 or a 198.1 but it was still a whole lotta bad math. And in some cases a ton more bad math than that 197.8. So while I get the rage against OU and UCLA, what I’m really here to say is - why is no one mad at LSU and Georgia and Florida? I would argue that all 3 schools are not performing at the same level they performed in years past but are still getting great scores because of their reputation and people are just like “you were ROBBED. LOOK AT UCLA”. I’m kinda more mad at their overscores than I am at OU [although I will say I’m really upset at the high af scores continuously given to some athletes there just because of rep - share that overscore love!] and some UCLA scores [I just really want Gracie Kramer’s floor to get the same love (ahem high af not always deserving scores) her bigger name teammates get]. Someone dumb it down for me because it seems like I’m just not getting it.
