I did answer. You don't have to like the answer.


But your answers make no sense. Here is what djs said: "The rankings show they consider ou better based on 12 weeks. There is only one more game to consider and y’all aren’t playing the better opponent."

What would change the committees mind to jump OSU over a high ranked team playing a higher ranked team than OSU is. There would be no reason for them to jump OSU over Oklahoma.

You answered with a lazy question, and then u didn’t list anything under what the committee considers that will change with one more game. Then you ignored my final point.


I answered with a rhetorical question, then pointed out why you're wrong. I shouldn't need to fill in all of the blanks for you.

It means a lot. It’s 12 games of info. That’s a ton of info. What about game #13 would cause your rankings to flip should you both win?

Empty words because you couldn’t provide any details, which are required for a proper answer.

It's silly to think that a close and sloppy win, like a 59-56 type win, over Texas would be given the same weight as a dominant win like 59-0 over Northwestern.

This isn't that difficult. You're acting like you know what the committee will do based on previous weeks, and they've repeatedly shown that you have no idea what they'll do.

Your the one that said there wasn't much of a difference. now you want to switch to my side?

I know you aren't being serious to compare Oklahoma to UCF.

And how much separates Ohio State and Oklahoma for the committee right now?

Yawn. That you don't like them doesn't make them empty. You were wrong, obviously.

at you for only making the points that supported your argument.

Beating 8-4 Northwestern 100-0 would be meaningless. You needed to be playing an 11-1 or 10-2 type opponent in your Championship Game. Instead you got a mediocre 8-4 Northwestern which does zilch for your resume.

I will give you this. If Okalhoma/Texas is a sloppy, close game and OSU absolutely dominates Northwestern then OSU has a shot. but that would be the only scenario...and it might not be enough.

This would have been much easier if everyone just admitted this from the start.

Beating Northwestern (no matter the score) does very little to nothing for your resume.

So, you are going to persist in the UCF verses Oklahoma resume?

Empty because you provided zero details, and still haven’t.

You simply said the committee considers a lot, but you ignore that they you behind ou, uga, and bama based on all of those considerations.

There is only a very little bit left for them to consider, and northwestern is a less impressive opponent than your main challengers have.

yet the chances of that happening are slim. I expect Oklahoma to win by 2-3 TD's.
And, as I said, that would be the only scenario that OSU would have a chance and it would not be a given then.

That's wrong, on several levels. First, it would make us champions of a top two conference. It also would give us a win over a team that the committee says is #21. It makes us 13-1.

Seems that it certainly does more than "little to nothing."

I already covered that. I'm not filling in the blanks for you. The committee considers a wide range of information that's readily available to anyone interested in finding it. I shouldn't have to do that for you in this discussion.

Might be time for you to move on if you're simply going to whine about that.

I've never even come close to saying anything is a given. Exactly the opposite, actually.

Comments were made that with Oklahoma and Georgia wins, Oklahoma and Bama were locks. That's just not true, obviously.
