Neither will win it outright. Tie. One loss team. Still technically the same as Mississippi State


It's not technically the same at all, or any kind of same. MSU would not only not be any kind of conference champion at all whatsoever, they wouldnt' be their division champion either.

Committee will look foolish to rank MSU 4th all this time and then the last poll they drop them out - the committee will look stupid!

Let's stick it to the SEC!

will have won their conference playing against a team ranked abotu 12th.

Their wins far exceed any of MSU's wins.


Miss St is still #4 and Alabama #1 specifically becuase the committee still regards beating LSU at least equally as beating Wisconsin, Auburn as at least equal to Kansas St, etc etc.

No matter how they're actually ranking the bottom half of the teams or how often they are saying "Top25 win" Bama wouldn't be #1 and Miss St #4 if they weren't already considering strength of schedule and not just totally dismissing 3 or 4 loss teams like Auburn and LSU that also have more quality wins than FSU.

I honestly think that if everyone wins out, it will be Bama, Oregon, FSU, and tOSU. The committee has been saying from the beginning that conference championships will have a role in their decision and State won't have one.

They've also said that a non-conference champ would have to be decidedly superior to a conference champ to get in. Although I think State is a better team than tOSU, I don't think the committee will chose them over a conference champion with more wins. 12-1 vs. 11-1.

I think maybe you're a little jelly because poor UGA can't win when it counts to be put in the situation State has, so you have to discredit our body of work. If it were Alabama, LSU, or UGA in our position everyone would be talking about how there is no way they can be left out. Case in point, Kirk H. was the most avid supporter of Alabama in 2011, yet uses every opportunity to talk about how Ohio State is the better team this year of the 1 loss teams.

I get it. People like marquee names, so lets just call a spade a spade and stop trying to sugar coat it like they are.

You keep propping up LSU, why? Because it makes MSU look better? LSU has 4 frickin losses, 2 of which are baaaaaaaaad losses.


I'm not propping LSU up. I'm simply pointing out that the team you are trashing, beat the team you are trying to prop up to make a better case for OSU. Kind of ironic.

well, as more games are played more evidence is presented. Should the rankings just stay where they are after the first week? Geez man

their job isn't to look cool, it's to put the 4 best teams in teh playoff.

The second you lose a game, you no longer can gripe about having it "stuck" to you. If there's 3 or 4 1 loss teams, yet some of them won their league and have 2 or 3 notable, top 15 wins, while MSU didn't win their division and has no top 15 wins...why should they go aside from the fact they play in the conference you're affiliated with?

Um, actually they definitely would be the division co-champion. We're not about to hang a banner, but it is exactly the same principle as only being the co-champion of the conference.

I've been saying for the last month that if State lost to Alabama and won the rest, they'd be in...and if Alabama or Auburn won out (before the A&M game ), they'd be in, too. Folks just don't listen sometimes when experts speak....go figure.

will you say this when we're playing for the SECCG and you're not? Both teams have losses, therefore, we both lost when it counted.

Read the fricking OP. He was asking about a scenario and I gave rational, fact based responses to it. I wouldn't be able to discredit MSU if the things I said weren't actually true.

Situations aren't even remotely similar, which I can explain to you if needed but don't feel like typing it out in this post.

MSU deserved their #1 ranking without any doubt when they had it, it has nothing to do with names. If OSU wins out, I think they would have a better resume for the 4th spot based on games played.

quote:

Please WG.


MSU's 2 losses are to Oregon (ranked 2nd) and OSU (ranked 6th). Forgive me for thinking that shitty lsu, arkansas, and auburn teams would probably lose to them. Hell, UGA is ranked behind MSU and we beat the shite out of 2 of those 3 teams.

I realize your crimson shades are blinding you from reality, but I'm not "trashing" msu. I'm saying OSU would have a better resume than them if they win their conference. And that'd be pretty hard to refute.

Which is for losers. Who would play in atlanta? That's your division champion.

except being co-champ of a conference holds about 50x more weight than co-champ of a division.

Division you play the other 6 teams plus 2 others, and in this case MSU would have lost head to head to the actual division champ. A conference co-champ, since there is no CG, has played every other team in the league.

Only thing State can do to improve it's chances of staying in is beat Ole Miss soundly. Do that and none of the 5-7 teams win out with gusto, then they will likely make the cut. 2 and 3 losing a game would help too and could likely happen.

nah bro, those wins aren't notable at all. Definitely don't stack up to beating 4 loss west teams.

I will definitely be saying it.

1) You're probably not going to be playing in the SECCG.
2) If you do, you will most assuredly lose.
3) If you could have beat an abysmal Florida team, you wouldn't be waiting on a Missouri team that lose to Indiana to back your way in to a championship game.

So, yeah.

Well I, along with plenty of other people committee included, don't think that they do or will have a better resume. Which is exactly why this is all opinion and not "facts" which you honestly think you are using here.

I never accused you of trashing MSU. Reading comprehension would go a long way for you.

State needed Ole Miss to not get blown out. Thankfully Freeze was tanking to get a higher draft position.

There are a lot of circumstances where State can still make it to the dance. None of them include all the 1-loss teams and FSU winning out.

MSU better be hoping for some upsets in the coming two weeks or they'll be left out.

Honestly, I'm hoping for one of the other teams to get upset. I can only imagine this board next off season full of butt-melting grinders constantly whining about how they got left out because of anti-SEC or anti-clanga bias.

So in this case, TCU lost to Baylor. So then why don't they just give the crown to Baylor? You can't be serious. You are chasing your tail like a dumbass dog. The co-champ shite works when you want it to, but doesn't when it doesn't fit your agenda. Got it.
