Friend, I realize you are an OSU guy politicking for your team and have an emotional skin in the game.


That would be ridiculous, unless you think the committee (the only opinions that really matter) reads this site looking for my opinion.

Their is a whopping difference in what you call the "worst defense" for a championship contender and the "Worst Loss" by a championship contender.


I agree. One bad game is nowhere near as bad as being completely terrible all year long on defense.


quote:

OU has a chance to beat the one team that put a blemish on their schedule and they happen to be 14th ranked in the very poll that the selection committee made up.


That should carry little or no value. Lack of opportunity isn't something that should be the deciding factor.

Again, and I'll say it as many times as I need to say it, I'm not arguing that Ohio State should be in ahead of Oklahoma. If we get left out, we have nothing to complain about. If Oklahoma gets left out, they have nothing to complain about. If Alabama loses and gets left out, they have nothing to complain about.

The point is that Oklahoma isn't a lock. Alabama isn't a lock if they lose. End of story.

A win over 8-4 northwestern isn’t the kind of thing that’s gonna do it.


Nope. It's a good thing the committee has more than that to look at, then.

Y’all needed to have a much stronger opponent than ou to accomplish that.


No, we don't. It's not like Texas is 11-1 or even 10-2. They're not that much better than Northwestern if at all.

The biggest issue would be that only two conferences will be represented in the playoffs and three will be left out

That could be another factor in leaving the elephants out

You'd lose...again.

I hope Bama wins. I hope we get in.

If you think I'm bad now, wait until Urban beats your asses...again.

You really are an idiot...read my post(above) again.

For sure you have to realize that beating #14 Texas is better than beating #21 Northwestern?

I was a little surprised when the rankings came out, but Oklahoma being ahead of the Buckeyes is a bad sign.

If they both win its going to be very hard to change that considering the opponents they both play

Ohio State is in a pretty bad spot. They basically have to go out and win by 40-50 points. That's just not easy to do

Purdue actually has some offense on their team. The defense played the best game in 100 years against Ohio State. The OP didn’t even mention anything about Bama being left out. You assholes are so precious with your defensive attitude. Cry me a river Roll turds. If you ain’t even good enough to win your conference, you shouldn’t get another mulligan. Speaking of fudgepackers, who does Saban blow to get so many do overs? He must have some good lips on him to get the committee to slide Bama in every time

We've found the Big-10 version of LSU.

Asking Fake LaMotta anything is pointless. For the life of me, you’d think some Bama fans would be happy with their team’s success. Unfortunately most act like insecure bitches who are on the rag when you have an open debate about anything. LMAO- classless morons. Hope they enjoy their fake Bama knockoff championship rings that they get from Wal Mart. That’s all of the success they’ll ever sniff on an individual level.

I don't think when the playoff's was designed that such a scenario could actually happen but here we are

When your entire system is based on opinion polls, of COURSE this could happen, and was virtually inevitable.

All these SEC fans who are against expansion and auto-berths for conference champions will look like complete hypocrites when the eventuality occurs that the SEC champion is left out of the playoffs.

You've obviously got a problem with reading comprehension.

I see the problem. You think I'm every Buckeye in the country.

Sort that out on your own time.

You and I both know that almost no SEC fan will complain about a 10-3 SEC champion being out of a 4 team playoff. To even say this is downright comical on your part.

Wait until a 12-1 SEC team gets left out

Not sure where you got that, but okay...

My part? You're the one who brought up a 10-3 SEC champ, why are you ascribing that to me?

Suppose all the favorites win their conferences. That means the SEC champ will be 13-0, the ACC champ will be 13-0, Notre Dame will be 12-0, the B1G champ will be 12-1 and the B12 champ will be 12-1. The playoff will not accommodate all those teams. There will be one 12-1 P5 champ left out of the playoffs. Under the current system, one day there will be a 12-1 SEC champ left out, and you will howl like a bitch in heat if it happens to be Alabama - or probably any SEC champ not named Auburn.

BTW, I think the SEC champ should ALWAYS be in the playoffs (as long as there are playoffs) regardless of their record. I also happen to think that the champions of every P5 conference should be included ion the playoffs.

When the NFC had a 13 year streak of Superbowl wins, the NFL never considered leaving the AFC out just because that conference wasn't as strong as the NFC.
