Four more players kicked off the Longhorns, for a total of six so far. I will say this for Charlie Strong, he is not putting up with any crap.

But they are doing so without Johnny Football. The only thing I can see is they play Auburn and Bama on the road. Still not enough to make it a top 5 or even a top 10 toughest schedule.

[Rudy]

I do feel college football shoots itself in the foot with the creampuff schedules. Every top team has 4 wins their backups could get for them. Its not good for TV and the general fan.

It does not make for good TV but rarely are the creampuff games shown as primetime games. There are always a couple good matchups each week before conference hits. One really tough non-conference game is all you need. You have a brutal schedule and lose two games early, it's the road to a pre January bowl for a good team. OU is pretty smart about this. Just like this year. Two games you should win pretty easily (La Tech & Tulsa) but give you enough of a challenge that the games will show you how well you are doing at each position. Then you throw in a Tennessee, who unfortunately is down right now but you can't really know that when you are scheduling games years in advance. I also like how the Big 12 is only having three non-conference games and you play everyone in the conference. I think three non-conference games are more than enough.

What I really dislike is playing four non-conference opponents and having the fourth played at the end of the year, so it is like an extra bye week. Looking at you SEC. Notice both Bama and Auburn have cupcakes scheduled before their matchup.

[Marlowe]

Good for him. Weed out the knuckleheads so the program can grow.

I really like what Strong is doing. Too much of a country club vibe around here under Mack. He's basically taken the entitlement attitude out of the team and is making them earn everything. We'll see how it translates onto the field.

They'll be fine. It's not like you need to throw the ball to run Urban's offense, throw any dude back there that can run and hit a 10 yard pass.

In all seriousness, the one upside is that since he was hurt all spring, our backups have been getting first team reps since the bowl loss. So we've been preparing ... just not quite as soon as we wanted it to come.

Great college QB that I don't see as a QB in the pros. Can he get a medical redshirt and come back next year? What are his plans?

[JeffHCross]

He doesn't need a medical redshirt. He still has a "normal" redshirt to burn.

maybe CFL though? His mobility would be an asset. However, Troy Smith has really struggled so who knows???

No CFL for Braxton Miller. Being mobile helps but you have to make good decisions and be accurate. That's why guys like Andre Ware and Mike McMahon sucked up here.

Hard to argue that Hoke hasn't been a massive failure. What really annoyed was when he earlier called out Michigan fans for not being true fans if they didn't support the team 24/7. That's foolish job saving nonsense. Time to go. He's done nothing to bring in and develop good talent.

Rich Rodriguez continues to make Michigan (and their head coach, Fred Flintstone) look like the stupid fucking losers they have become again. I disagree. Even with the irrefutable proof that he is a good coach, that doesn't mean Michigan was, or ever would have been, a good fit.

Not to say Michigan isn't an inept joke right now, but that doesn't mean that he would have been successful had he stayed.

Similarly, Florida fans are all being tortured by the success that their QB transfers are having elsewhere, but there's no way to guarantee (or, frankly, imagine) that they would have been successful in Muschamp's tire fire offense.

Tell us about Ohio state's history Versus the sec in bowl games. Not going to argue with you on it. Probably more common sense in thinking the NFL is fixed than there is a college football conference better than the sec.

[JeffHCross]

Probably more common sense in thinking the NFL is fixed than there is a college football conference better than the sec.Did I say a thing about Ohio State? Or that the SEC wasn't the best conference? No. But anytime a team, or group of teams, is considered so elite that it would "clearly" win a given game ... well, it seems like those teams often get knocked down a peg or two. And yes, 2006 Ohio State/Michigan is part of that discussions because we were "clearly" the best team in the nation, maybe even #1 and #2. Look how that turned out.

But if you think I'm twisting this into some kind of argument for non-SEC superiority, you've got it twisted.

Good to see TCU jump Bama. Also, feel free to thank Baylor for kicking the crap out of my Sooners as that had to play a part in it.

[skipwondah33]

How does FSU keep moving down?

Sure they..almost lose games and they aren't pretty but isn't winning the ultimate goal regardless? They haven't lost since the 2012-2013 season.

If we are counting ugly, almost losses then TCU doesn't deserve to jump up IMO.

These teams have 1 loss already except Mississippi State. So FSU could conceivably go undefeated and still be the 3rd or 4th...hell maybe not even make it in? lol

[JeffHCross]

Sure they..almost lose games and they aren't pretty but isn't winning the ultimate goal regardless? They haven't lost since the 2012-2013 season.The committee is clearly putting a lot of weight into the "eyeball test", and Florida State's performances haven't exactly inspired "yes, they're a dominant undefeated team" type analysis. Their games have been more like "aren't they ever going to lose?"

In a lot of ways their season feels like Ohio State's 2002 season, where people thought that we weren't even the best team in our conference.

[skipwondah33]

Man that's when football gets way too technical

I understand you can't put weight completely into being undefeated as a team from the SWAC could be undefeated but what more can they do other than win? Almost win and blowout are still the same in the win-loss column. And almost only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes....and apparently college football committee decisions.

Score 87 points against an inferior team? or simply just win the games against people in front of them?

That's why I like the NFL...fixed and all lol

It's easier to get 12 teams out of 32 for an NFL playoff than get 4 teams out of 127 (give or take) with obvious differences in conference strength.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah but majority of those teams realistically don't have a chance to get into the 4 anyway so can't say that many

Let's say half of that number which still is a lot and still probably not completely accurate if you say Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, ACC, SEC and maybe American conference I guess as the major benefactors being included...oh and Notre Dame. Don't know if that's 62-64 teams since I don't want to count or follow college football that heavily.

Just crazy when you count people's opinions for placement and not record solely when getting a spot or not getting one.

[souljahbill]

The playoffs should be 16.

Every conference champ gets in automatically to give little guys a chance and wild cards to fill out the rest. You'll still need a committee, the regular season still matters (because winning conference is automatic), and you'll still need a good resume when compared to teams with similar records.

[JeffHCross]

Just crazy when you count people's opinions for placement and not record solely when getting a spot or not getting one.That's not crazy, that's how it should be. That's the entire point of having a committee that assesses every team, not just mindless computers that are only allowed to factor in wins and losses.

Florida State is undefeated, but they haven't played at a level that makes them obviously one of the top 2 teams in the country. Guess what! They're still in, right now. And I'm pretty confident that if they continue to go undefeated, they'll continue to be in.

Unlike, say, Marshall, who can go undefeated but doesn't have a likely chance, even if they blew out Southern Miss by practically the same score Alabama did. :D

Not even sure if the argument "all they need to do is keep winning and they will be fine" even matters because you know Alabama will keep climbing if they win and it's obvious that a 1 loss team can pass an undefeated team. Should Alabama win against Mississippi State I don't see them dropping any lower than 4. And Alabama would likely be included in the 4 then...atleast with the line of thinking the committee is using.

Just needs to be more than 4 teams I think. Top seeds go to teams who win their major conference. Others are left for debate.

I bet that's what Oklahoma was thinking vs. Boise St.

By that logic, why do we even have playoffs in other sports? We can just put the 2 best records in the championship right after the season ends. Why do we need 64 teams (or 68 or whatever it is) in the NCAA tournament? What's the point of 1/2 the team's even playing football if only the Power 5 matter?

[JeffHCross]

Just needs to be more than 4 teams I think.1) There's still plenty of time (and upsets) to come. The season tends to work itself out, at least in terms of eliminating undefeated teams :D
2) A year ago at this time FSU would be out of the BCS NCG. It's progress that we now have 4 teams to debate.

Everyone, both pro-playoff expansion and against, needs to keep in mind that the FCS championship began with four teams in 1978. It now has 24. March Madness started in 1939 with 8 and now has 68. Expansion is inevitable.

That's exactly my point. The NCAA basketball tournament is largely a farce for TV money. We don't need 68 teams. Playoffs are far more about money that what is right in virtually every sport. Large playoffs completely cheapen the regular season, particularly in sports where teams can get in with a record of .500 or less. I'm not interested in giving a 9-7 NFL team a shot at the title even if it means the Dolphins sit at home. It's unimpressive and ugly when 8 seeds in the NHL make strong runs at the Cup. I hate it. A true champion dominates the regular season imo.

I was on record saying that I liked the BCS. It was hard to pick the best two sometimes largely because schedule strength is so different. I do like 4 but want no more than that.

[skipwondah33]

I like the NBA, Baseball and NHL models of having to beat a team more than once to advance. Though unrealistic for Football.

Even if teams get in with weak records it works itself out. Sure the Giants weren't as sexy as the Patriots the year they ruined the perfect season...but they were by all accounts the better team and did what no one did all that season..which was harass and hit Brady all game.

Just think selection committees leave room for human error. I like simple wins and losses method.

If that happened in the NFL some of the past champions wouldn't have even been in the playoffs to win the SB because they wouldn't have been worthy by a committee (Giants, Ravens to name a few).

[Rudy]

One thing I haven't heard much this year is debating over who is #1 in college football. There is some chatter but normally at this time of the year that discussion is very heated and passionate. It was a HUGE debate. Same went for BCS busters. People were on the edge of their seats watching a lot of November games knowing how huge they were. It doesn't have the same feel this year. Bama loses and "Oh well. They won't need help, just win the SEC title game and you are back in no problem." I loved the pressure the BCS put on teams to go undefeated.

I've heard more talk about teams losing early or in general and still being ok to make it in.

That was near insane during the BCS to say that so confidently. I know it still happened but I've heard it explained differently this year. Oregon losing wouldn't have had a shot over some of these other teams when it was the computers.

[bdoughty]

I bet that's what Oklahoma was thinking vs. Boise St.

We were saying F this matchup. If we win we were supposed to, if we lose people would still be bringing it up in 2014. Now had it been a playoff game, that gives OU a bit more motivation.

I am hoping it jumps to 8 at some point, 4 is a good start. They should limit the season to 10 games max. Limit non-conference matchups, this way most games (conference games) matter. All conferences have a championship game (played on home field of the top team). Winner of the big 5 Championship games go to playoff. Only the Champion can go to the playoffs, no at-large for these conferences.

3 at large selected from the other conferences and independent. Home field advantage to the higher seeds, Championship game played at neutral site.

[bdoughty]

Oregon losing wouldn't have had a shot over some of these other teams when it was the computers.

That would be incorrect. USA Today actually runs a weekly BCS Computer Composite based on what the ranks would be under the old system. Oregon is #4.

http://i.usatoday.net/sports/college/football/2014-11-10-fbc-computer-composite.pdf


Edit just look at some of those Sagarin Ratings.

3-loss OU at #6? That puts us ahead of undefeated Miss St and Florida St. What we really need is a playoff based on Sagarin Ratings. :D

[bdoughty]

I loved the pressure the BCS put on teams to go undefeated.

There were 16 BCS Championships. Ten of those featured one loss teams. One featured a 2 loss team (LSU who beat Ohio St in the Championship). Three times there was not an undefeated team in the game.

But one loss meant you were at the mercy of others. Yes you could still get in but you no longer controlled your destiny. The only way to truly take care of business was to never lose. Was that an incredibly tough standard and at times unfair? Yes and I loved it.

Same scenario applies to the current setup. There are two undefeated teams and if they stay that way will be in the playoffs. Continue and win two more and you are champion. In either system you no longer control your destiny with a loss. The problem is when you have no control of your destiny without a loss, due to not being a power conference.

Bear in mind that this is coming from an OU fan, "the team who snuck our way into two BCS games where we were not the best one loss team." USC claimed a dual national title the year we lost to LSU by the AP. Many smaller teams went undefeated over those years and took care of business, going undefeated and how was their destiny greeted by the BCS? I want to give the little guy a chance, not make some BCS Bowl sad they ended up with Marshall. The best example against the BCS is TCU. They had an undefeated season a few years back but while in the MWC. So they went to a Rose Bowl and won. What did they get for their reward? #3 in all polls. No shot at a title. Now? They got into the Big 12, thanks to a couple of defectors, so they actually have a shot at the 4 team playoff, with a loss to boot. That 2010 Dalton led team was as good if not better than this one. They had a far better defense than this years team.

That is why the 8 team playoff is the best. Underdogs! Playing on the road or neutral site, against a mighty Big 5 conference. There is a reason the first two days of March Madness is the most popular. Still dreaming to see that 16 seed take Duke down. :nod:

One thing I haven't heard much this year is debating over who is #1 in college football. There is some chatter but normally at this time of the year that discussion is very heated and passionate. It was a HUGE debate. Same went for BCS busters. People were on the edge of their seats watching a lot of November games knowing how huge they were. It doesn't have the same feel this year. Bama loses and "Oh well. They won't need help, just win the SEC title game and you are back in no problem." I loved the pressure the BCS put on teams to go undefeated.That's largely because of Alabama wins the SEC they'd have to beat the current #1 and Auburn. So there's a built in assumption that for them to even get to the title game, it's going to build their resume for them.

Also, the "pressure" for an SEC West team to go undefeated hasn't existed since the LSU/Bama title game rematch. It's everyone else that has pressure to go undefeated, which is still largely true. Less so this year because this year is like 2007, with mass destruction across the entire landscape.

[JeffHCross]

3-loss OU at #6? That puts us ahead of undefeated Miss St and Florida St. What we really need is a playoff based on Sagarin Ratings. :DI hate the Sagarin ratings. They're heavily influenced by strength of schedule, which leads to the top conferences having the top schedules and being too teams based on their performance against those top schedules. It's self perpetuating at best.

I remember one year when one conference, I think it was the Pac 10 in USC's heyday, swept the toughest schedules. That just doesn't pass the sniff test.

[skipwondah33]

That would be incorrect. USA Today actually runs a weekly BCS Computer Composite based on what the ranks would be under the old system. Oregon is #4.

Edit just look at some of those Sagarin Ratings.

3-loss OU at #6? That puts us ahead of undefeated Miss St and Florida St. What we really need is a playoff based on Sagarin Ratings. :DCorrect

But they aren't #2 and wouldnt be in the National Championship game either at the #4 spot correct with the computers?

Wonder if Alabama goes to #1 having the same record as Oregon and beating the #1 team

Yep. Plus, despite doing bad enough to get fired, he's probably still a better option then any of their assistant coaches to take over on a temporary basis. Meanwhile, this way, Florida can officially start looking for a new head coach and the program can move on instead of having to deal with the never ending rumors week after week (ala Michigan).

They wouldn't make it. Considering Missouri wasn't even in the college football playoff rankings last week, two of their last three games are against Tennessee and Arkansas (no help in attempting to climb the rankings), Missouri would have to be no worse #8 before playing Alabama to make it.

Not to mention struggling to beat these guys last week.I didn't realize that playing a relatively close game on the road against a 7-2 opponent, in weather cold enough that it would make the SEC shrivel, was a knock against a team.

While it was a joke with bdoughty's post (I LOVED that gif when I first saw it on my phone Saturday afternoon! Funny as hell! Eating ice cream in 20 degrees and a snow storm and not a single damn was given. :D), sadly ESPN sure wasn't joking with their choice of headlines. Just does nothing but continue the cycle.

It's funny, having a rough first half in 20 degree or colder weather against a talented 7-2 top 25 Minnesota team, only to build up a double digit lead and really not be in danger of losing that game in the final minutes, and Ohio State "escapes" Minnesota. Having to score 21 third quarter points after trailing 20-10 and 27-17 during two points in the third quarter, and barely hanging on to beat a 3-7 piss poor Kansas, well, that's "passing a test" in the Big 12. :fp:

Had TCU done their job against Kansas, they "probably" stay at #4. Instead they sneak by and deservedly get placed behind Miss St. Plenty of games left but that would be some kick in the ass if you end up not making the playoffs due to a bad week against the mighty Jayhawks.

Baylor is going to pass them up if they both win out. TCU has the no shot unless people ahead lose.

[bdoughty]

I guess it is possible but why have they not passed them already? Because Baylor played more cupcakes in the non-conference. The other problem Baylor could face is if Kansas St loses this weekend in Morgantown. Making their matchup with KSU a lesser event. Also Texas has been improving quite a bit and if TCU can bounce back and lay the smack down in Austin, that will look like a far better win than it would a few weeks ago. I do not see Baylor passing TCU. I can see Ohio St passing TCU by winning out and have a great performance in the Championship game.

They have been doing it for a few years. It's not like they removed a conference game to have them. Just moving a non-conference game you would see played at the beginning of the season to the week before your rival. It's like a second bye week and smart scheduling. Of course it does not always guarantee a win, see Florida's schedule last year.

Conference schedules are set automatically. Don't get your first comment. And playing cupcakes at all is pussy. But it's really about a ton of cash they also get for doing it. That's my biggest complaint with college football - the cupcake scheduling. But EVERYONE does it. The only difference in the SEC is that they schedule their cupcakes on the back end unlike the Big 10 who plays them in September. It's a great strategy because a late loss always hurts you in the opinion polls more than an early one. If you aren't a powerhouse and try to creep in the back door of the Top 4 playoff and miss out based on strength of schedule you only have yourself to blame.

Pac-12 can schedule fcs teams, the only conference that dosn't is the big ten


USC & UCLA choose not to schedule fcs teams too. No excuses tbh

[Rudy]

FCS or a bottom feeding BCS team - not much difference imo. The Big 10 loves to schedule patsies too. Heck, a team schedules ONE tough opponent out of 4 ooc games and they want a pat on the back. OSU had VT and three layups. The only tough game MSU scheduled was Oregon and they lost. Michigan wasn't much better and we'll see when the Notre Dame game ends.

I would support a larger playoff structure IF everyone actually played games they had a real chance at losing. For the most part all of the top teams have MAYBE one tough ooc game and the champions will win that. Then almost half of the conference opponents are weak. The truth is an 8-4 record in college football implies a mediocre team imo. You should be able to sleep walk through at least 4 games for wins and just go .500 against the remaining opponents. You have to win 10+ games to earn any respect. That's the biggest difference between college and the NFL - all the teams are much closer in talent. Often the only difference between a great team and an average one is the QB.

[bdoughty]

the only conference that dosn't is the big ten

What? A Big Ten team is responsible for one of the great upsets ever by an FCS school.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA_zeMCnlWY

Now for the Big Ten Teams who played an FCS school this year.

Michigan St - Jacksonville St
Maryland - James Madison
Rutgers - Howard
Indiana - Indiana St
Wisconsin - Western Illinois
Minnesota - Eastern Illinois
Nebraska - McNeese St
Iowa - Northern Iowa
Northwestern - Western Illinois
Illinois - Youngstown St
Purdue - Southern Illinois

Not to mention that every Big Ten team schedules a MAC opponent. Generally a top FCS school is as competitive as a MAC team. You have a solid MAC team every so often but the majority are just a step above what you would see in the FCS playoffs. If North Dakota St was in the MAC it would probably dominate it.

So when it comes to cupcakes, the Big Ten has as much frosting, if not more than any other conference.

[JeffHCross]

The Big Ten has agreed to phase out FCS games, though obviously they didn't this year. dhook's facts aren't right.

I thought it was a bad idea when they announced it last year. It hurts the FCS schools by not getting a big payday and it also was a showcase for star FCS players to play against FBS competition. Northern Iowa always gave Iowa and Iowa St a run for their money. Still a bunch of teams with FCS opponents on Big Ten schedules for 2015 and 2016 (http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/2015-college-football-schedules.php). Personally, I hope they reconsider. Nothing better than an FCS upset, unless it happens to be your team they upset.

The model's going to have to change, because the way it's going now the Power 5 schools are only going to be playing FCS schools for home dates at some point, because BCS schools are too much of a threat to win (not that FCS schools don't do that plenty too).

*whispers* As someone who lives in Baton Rouge, I can tell you, Les is NOT an upgrade. Les is the beneficiary of LSU basically OWNING Louisiana's recruits (at least the ones Alabama doesn't steal), and being in proximity of other recruiting hotbeds. He would SUCK at Michigan. Hard.

To be honest though, I don't give a fuck who we play. Nobody is elite this year, we could beat anybody.

You are no Buckeye fan, just a young boy with a Buckeye avatar. The last three games were all decided by less than a touchdown. Michigan won one of those. Teams go through losing periods but that does not make a rivalry any less special. To actually say that Michigan St will be your new rival is as close to blasphemy as you can get in the state of Ohio. Did Michigan stop playing the Buckeyes when they won or tied the first 15 games in the series? Did Michigan fans stop considering OSU a rival during the John Cooper Era? Nope.

First, what does him being from Texas matter? Does being from Texas now automatically disqualify any opinion that person may have?

Second, congrats, you've been a Buckeye fan for 8 years. You don't know jackshit. Learn college football history numbnuts.

Third, the 2006 OSU/Michigan game was amongst the top 5 college football games of ALL TIME? :D :D :D :D :D

Kid, you have a LOT to learn of college football history if you seriously thing that game was amongst the top 5 game of ALL of college football history EVER played.

Fourth, you clearly have no fucking clue what a "classic game" is. The last THREE Ohio State-Michigan games have been classics.

Last year, a 12-0 #3 Ohio State vs. a 7 win Michigan. It was a back and forth game from beginning to end in which the biggest margin of score was a 14 point difference. In the end, it all came down to a single two point attempt with 32 seconds left that made the decision between one team winning by one point and one team losing by one point. If Michigan had simply kicked the PAT, that game was almost all but assured of going into overtime. If that isn't a classic game, I just don't know what the fuck is.

2012, a 12-0 #4 Ohio State vs. an 8 win #20 Michigan. Another true back and forth affair from beginning to end, with the largest margin of score being the ultimately final 5 point difference. It was 21-20 at halftime and the only points in the entire second half came on two Ohio State field goals. The entire second half was a true defensive battle. A SINGLE defensive breakdown could have completely changed the outcome of that game and the score and winner. Again, if that isn't a classic game, I just don't know what the fuck is.

2011, a 6 win Ohio State vs. a 10 win #17 Michigan. Another game that was back and forth, back and forth from beginning to end. The largest margin of score was 10 points halfway through the third quarter. The final margin of victory was 6 points, with a potential game winning Ohio State drive being stopped on fourth and 6 with 39 seconds left after an interception near midfield. Again, if that isn't a classic game, I just don't know what the fuck is.

Again kiddo, come back in a 10 years or so when you've grown some hair on your balls and actually have a fucking clue of what the fuck you're talking about. :fp:

2011, a 6 win Ohio State vs. a 10 win #17 Michigan. Another game that was back and forth, back and forth from beginning to end. The largest margin of score was 10 points halfway through the third quarter. The final margin of victory was 6 points, with a potential game winning Ohio State drive being stopped on fourth and 6 with 39 seconds left after an interception near midfield. Again, if that isn't a classic game, I just don't know what the fuck is.

Again kiddo, come back in a 10 years or so when you've grown some hair on your balls and actually have a fucking clue of what the fuck you're talking about. :fp:

FWIW, when I was enrolled at Ohio State, I had fellow students claiming to me after the basketball championship that we lost to Florida (our third loss to Florida in major sports in 14 months) that Florida was going to become our new rival. I guess because Tressel had so dominated Michigan that they forgot why we have that rivalry in the first place. So dhook is far from alone in his naivety.

But there is no way, short of one team ending football or the near equivalent, that Ohio State ever has a bigger rival than Michigan. Michigan State may be our closest competition for the division, and they might do that for a decade or two (hypothetical, not predictive), and the rival would still be Michigan.

Oh, he's FAR from being alone in his naivety. But he also has a LOT to learn about college football history and "classic games" if he thinks the last three years of the Ohio State-Michigan game were NOT classic games, and thinks that the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan game was top 5 among the greatest/classic college football games of "ALL TIME".

But god bless that period in life when one can be a completely clueless 13 year old who thinks they know everything and know what's what about the world, when they probably haven't even lost their cherry yet.

I agree with the analysts. OSU is borderline. I know it's a rivalry game but to leapfrog into the final 4 they needed to pound Michigan at home and they didn't put that lousy team down until the 4th. Now with your third QB and a weak big 10 conference you want to leapfrog people to represent a future champion? I just don't see it but it may be a moot point if they lose in the title game.

Chances are Bama beats the shit out of us either way, but no way to know for sure until it's played.

[Rudy]

I won't have a problem if OSU gets in as the 4th team. If they win the title they have an argument. But like Smooth said, they haven't been impressive lately and that hurts. They need to really impress to jump people.

On a different note, Michigan should be embarrassed at how poor they are. 5-7? Pathetic. A soft and untalented team. I miss the days of big time backs, a huge OL and ramming it down their throats. Really disappointed in Hoke. Should be fired any time now. Will UM fans embrace a new approach or reject a Rich Rod type guy? A fickle fan base with an uncertain future.

Why do you keep mentioning Baylor? TCU is the team you would need to jump and they put a whopping on Texas in Austin. Baylor struggled with Tech. TCU has a gimmie at home against Iowa St. Baylor would have to beat Kansas St by 50+ to even have a chance and their SOS still kicks them in the ass. TCU also has that 30-7 win against Minnesota that does not hurt their resume against Ohio St.

Yep, Baylor doesn't matter at all. Ohio State has to hope TCU somehow faceplants against Iowa State, or that Arizona somehow knocks off Oregon for the second time this season. Those are Ohio State's only chances.

Though Florida State too has played like crap lately, so it wouldn't be impossible that Georgia Tech would be Florida State.

Bama's QB hasn't been impressive away from home (versus his stats at home, at least). If he struggles early like vs Auburn, the Mizzou game could be interesting.

I agree fully with your past 3 posts

Winning is still the key...regardless how bad or good it is. They can go undefeated and still will be 4th. Only thing going for them is they can't be taken out of the top 4.....can they?????

[SmoothPancakes]

I don't see how they can. It's a serious indictment of the legitimacy and credibility of the college football playoff in it's very first year if an undefeated team from a power 5 conference gets left out. The little 5 will always get fucked, so had Marshall gone undefeated, it wouldn't have mattered. But if Florida State goes undefeated, the college football playoff loses ALL credibility if an undefeated, AND defending champion, power 5 team is left out behind four one loss teams.

Baylor only beat Texas Tech by 2 points and did so by stopping a two point conversion at the end of the game. If you are going to bring up one, you need to bring up the other. Both have one loss and TCU has the better OOC win. Baylor beat TCU (but it was in Waco and TCU pretty much owned the game for 3 quarters). Baylor has played certain teams better (OU for example which they slaughtered in Norman) than TCU and on the flip side TCU threw 82 points on Tech. It's why I think the power 5 conferences should all have a conference championship and an 8 team playoff. If Baylor beats KSU and does so convincingly they have a valid complaint about being left out. Their biggest complaint would be to the spineless Big 12 commissioner who just decided that with a tie they would have co-champions last week. As long as their is one or more teams in the race for the playoffs. (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11964184/big-12-present-tcu-baylor-co-champions) A touch ironic after all those commercials claiming "One True Champion."

The best quote from the commish.


Only if TCU and Baylor are both left out of the top four would the league acknowledge Baylor's head-to-head win over TCU. By contract, displaced conference champions are guaranteed spots in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Vizio Fiesta Bowl and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Bowlsby said the league would then use Baylor's win over TCU to determine which team would play in a New Year's Six bowl.

FSU is in with a win against Ga Tech. Why are they #4? No clue. I think they should be #1 (as every returning champion should be at the beginning of each year) until they lose a game. The one bright spot is that unlike in the FCS playoffs they do not have to play on another teams home field due to it's ranking.

Four years in a row ASU is playing in the Mobile, AL GoDaddy Bowl. That said, this year is the most excited one assuming we can keep our coaching staff in place for the bowl.

2nd what B and Smooth said completely

I mean even if you don't consider them winning last year...they are still undefeated in 1 of the major conferences and is the only undefeated team left.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep. I could see them maybe, maybe being #2 behind Alabama, but to be fourth? I'm calling bullshit on that. This committee is going to destroy the credibility of this whole thing before the first playoff game even gets played.

Considering Ohio State has had weeks to jump TCU, and yet has now fallen two spots behind them (as opposed to just being one spot behind them last week). Hate to say it, but Ohio State is only getting in if someone loses in the top 4. If Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and TCU all win this weekend, Ohio State is gonna get left out.

If FSU struggles in first half Saturday I don't see them coming back against Tech tbh.

I think we lose this weekend anyway

Committee probally praying OSU & FSU/Oregon lose so they can slide both TCU & Baylor in there.

I do agree there. Florida State has had some tough comebacks lately, but most always against "lesser" teams. Georgia Tech is a damn good team and if Florida State falls in a hole (due to Winston playing like crap again), they are going to have a hard time trying to climb out against Tech.

I also agree that I don't see Ohio State winning this weekend. People have been saying Jones is a talented QB, but he is indeed getting thrown to the wolves this weekend, having to come out and start against a very tough Wisconsin on the huge stage of the Big Ten Championship game. Between trying to get Jones fully up to speed as a starting QB in only a week's time, and the defense having to find some way to shut down Gordon, I'm going with Wisconsin to win this weekend. It won't be a blowout, in fact I think it'll still be a damn good game and a close game, but I think Wisconsin will ultimately win by 10 or 14 points.

:fp: Yes the committee really wants TCU and Balylor. I mean who wouldn't want these two yearly powerhouses playing in the first NCAA Tournament. The Disciples of Christ versus the Baptist. That is like saying the NFL wants Arizona and Cincinnati to make the Super Bowl or the NBA wants Toronto and Memphis in the finals.

Ohio State is not going to pass TCU if TCU wins. You can say it a hundred times, followed by you saying the OSU won't beat Wiscy and it will not matter. TCU just jumped FSU for cripes sake.

They'd much rather have both go than have to pick one

They have already picked one, TCU. Baylor is on the outside looking in. Pretty simple math here, you win and you are in.

I think the top 4 all win. Baylor wins in a close game with KSU. Ohio St Wiscy is a coin toss, could go either way.

If all the top teams win:

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. Ohio State
4. FSU
5. Baylor
6. TCU

Really what I think happens.

It won't be because it makes sense football wise.

Not a chance. If everyone wins, how in the world does TCU plummet from 3rd to 6th? Baylor can campaign all they want, short of a TCU loss, Baylor is not overtaking TCU. Ohio State's only chance is one of the four ahead of them losing. Alabama, TCU, Oregon and Florida State are all locks for the playoff if they win their games this weekend.

I think OSU has a chance to jump tcu if they are impressive.

[souljahbill]

I think Baylor jumps TCU if they beat K-St. If head-to-head doesn't trump strength of schedule then the process is broken.

[SmoothPancakes]

Well then that's awfully dickish of the committee to have TCU on the edge at 5th or in the playoff since the very first rankings (and ahead of Baylor since the very first ranking), only to turn around and say "suck it bitches" and drop them, now, at least two spots to let Baylor jump in front of them, if both win this weekend. If something like that is allowed to happen, the process is even more far broken than just some simple head to head wins.

I think the committee is sending a message that your strength of schedule does matter. Stop scheduling nothing but cupcakes and automatic wins or you will pay for it. I love that message.

I will be ecstatic if Michigan gets any one of these names that have been tossed out by legit sources:


Jim Harbaugh
Sean Payton
Les Miles
Jim Mora Jr.
Dan Mullen
David Shaw

TCU drops 3 spots with a win? TCU wins easily and they are in. This is what you want to happen as an Ohio St fan. I have no dogs in this hunt.

TCU goes up 55-3 as I am posting this. Baylor and Ohio St will be left out of the playoff unless Bama or FSU loses.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep. Unless Baylor beats Kansas State 100-0, TCU is a lock in my opinion. No way the committee just says "fuck you" to TCU after ranking them above Baylor and Ohio State every week.

Don't be surprised if it happens.

[skipwondah33]

Not sure I see how Ohio State gets in

If that could potentially happen even with a TCU win...then why is TCU at 3? If they can get jumped by a team outside of the 4

And this could potentially happen if FSU wins and finishes undefeated or would they move up to 3.

Oregon won't get moved down, hell they may even put them to #1...better chance of that then moving down.

[dhook27]

Oklahoma lost. TCUs resume just keeps getting worse.

[SmoothPancakes]

:D Oklahoma lost, Oklahoma State won. TCU beat both of them (and smoked the hell out of Oklahoma State). It pretty much cancels out after as TCU is concerned.

And with Alabama beating Missouri, Ohio State's coffin is nearly entirely nailed. Ohio State's ONLY chance now is for Georgia Tech to knock off Florida State. Alabama is a lock. Oregon is a lock.

TCU is, in my opinion, a lock, because why the hell would the committee jump them two spots up to #3 last week, ahead of Florida State, only to say "fuck you" and dump them out of the top 4 entirely the next week after they did exactly what they had to do, bitch slap Iowa State 55-3?

The only remaining question is Florida State. If Florida State wins, they're in and your top 4 (in unknown order) are Alabama, Florida State, Oregon and TCU. If Florida State loses, either Ohio State or Baylor will slip in. Assuming Ohio State even beats Wisconsin, which is FAR from even being claimed as a sure thing. With Barrett out, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Wisconsin beat Ohio State by 2+ touchdowns.
