According to he committee, we weren't on the bubble. The rep said that they never seriously considered Ohio State, despite all the media conjecture.

Which team was on the bubble and was only a Wisconsin TD vs. Ohio State away from getting left out of the playoffs?

The one with the shitty OOC schedule. It's working? Seriously?


That's an apples/oranges situation. Alabama wasn't on the bubble because of their OOC schedule (In fact, it's pretty obvious the committee considered FSU a top tier game for Alabama since they were ranked #3 and their starting QB was injured for the season). Alabama was only on the bubble because we didn't win the SEC.


All three of the teams ranked above Alabama also had a loss. Two of those losses were to Iowa State and Syracuse. So why were we ranked 4th, behind teams with uglier losses, and the team on the bubble, instead of the other three? And don't say because of not being a conference champion, because even before the conference championship games were played, we were behind Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Why?

You didn't read my entire post. Ohio State had nothing to do with it. We were out if Wisconsin won...hence my statement that we were a Wisconsin TD away from being left out.

If Wisconsin won they would’ve been in. Or if OSU hadn’t gotten crushed by Iowa (instead lost by a few points) they may have been in.

The fans don't have to get up every week for a really good team. Beat the SEC teams and get to Atlanta! That is the deal.

Coach Stallings...if you start listening to the fans then you soon will find yourself up their with them

Because we lost the last day of the regular season. And lost badly.

You seriously don't know how polls work regarding early and late season losses?
