They debate the sport’s continued reliance on a metric many consider flawed and point to additional tools, such as  Diamond Sports Rankings  (DSR) and KPIs, to reduce outlier-driven decisions and avoid penalizing teams for playing. The conversation touches on scheduling strategy—front-loading midweeks, resting late, and the strain of end-of-year fatigue—while noting examples like Ole Miss playing UT Martin and Georgia going without midweek games since late April. They also address how cancellations impact fans and families and call on the committee to credibly use multiple metrics. 00:00 Welcome and Sponsor 01:30 RPI Debate Returns 04:53 More Metrics: DSR & KPI 08:12 Late Midweek Scheduling 13:41 DSR Benefits 15:47 Fixes and Final Thoughts 17:54 Wrap Up For athletes and sports programs of all levels, AstroTurf has managed the entirety of the synthetic turf manufacturing process for decades.
