Buckeyes on meltdown alert ... will not make playoffs

[Deep Creek]

They bumped TCU from 3 to 6 two years ago so it is definitely possible and not unprecedented.

Good point. And TCU actually played a game that Saturday, won 55-3...albeit not a CCG game...and still dropped 3 spots. "Didn't have a 13th data point." tOSU doesn't have a 13th data point this year either.

He also lost Utah & California.

He lost Utah and 1/3 of California. While he lost the district of Stanford. He put up big numbers in Cal and UCLA

I am honestly not trolling, but rather believe what I am saying. If VA Tech beats Clemson then the Bedlam winner goes at the 4 seed.

Don't think so...but it might force the committee to have to deal with the Okie Lite/CMU issue.

 

[Voltaire26]

Simplifying your biased opinions does change anything, you're still being biased.

Yes, I would say, I am simply biased.

I actually read those old threads yesterday. They did drop TCU three spots. And the debate focussed heavily on that 13th game. Thats why I cant say we may not see PSU in. Especially with a win over Wisconsin. And oklahoma State win would make it a nightmare. If Clemson and Alabama win and they put Ohio State in despite the head to head loss and a PSU conference championship. I would find it hard not to see Alabama ranked one and Clemson and Washington taking the 2 and 3 seeds

OSU is in, at this point I don't see it going any other way.. If they weren't sitting at number 2 I'd be on the fence about it.
Bama
OSU
Clemson
Washington

Last two are sketch.

IIRC, the committee's reasoning for dropping both were Baylor's poor OOC and both Baylor's and TCU's lack of a 13th data point. I still say it was tOSU's slaughter of Wisky. Wisky was absolutely horrible in that CCG. As it turned out, the imposter in '14 was Florida State. tOSU was definitely the best.

Just the thought of seeing urban eating cold pizza on a golf cart again is enough for me to hope they don't get there in the first place

Seeing how Georgia is in for a long time of sucking I understand.

Yeah...they will if Penn State/Wisconsin win 59-0.

 

[KingKoolKat75]

Nice try, but the ohio state fucknuts are already in. You can't leave a P5 team with 1 loss out over a team with two ... it doesn't make sense. If Clemson win, they're in. If Clemson loses, now you have a debate. I say Michigan get's in as the #3 for the rematch. That would be a great ratings event, and personally I can't live with the sour taste of ohio state winning against Michigan. I want revenge!!!

You don't want Ohio State again...you think you do but you don't...

 

[KingKoolKat75]

Anyways I and I'm sure other Buckeye fans will be okay if by a slim chance OSU is left out.

And here we are 2 years later. With Penn State facing Wisky in a 13th game. Trying to jump a team 3 spots up. That is not playing in a CCG. It's like a mirror image

IDK, I was watchin the game with a friend last week and she kissed her son and said she selling him to the devil for a win Y'all are crazier than us.

Roll frigging Tide

Yes, but the name of that team not playing a 13th game is Ohio State and not TCU or Baylor. Huge difference IMO.

Thats where this system has major flaws. Is it the 4 best teams or a popularity contest? Where brand name is a deciding factor

Yep. I've said before if they get in great. If they don't it won't ruin the season for me. Being they youngest P5 team this year Ohio State has already accomplished more than I expected for the '16 season.

Oh just stop w/ the brand-name mumbo jumbo. If that was the case Nike University...I mean Oregon would be a lock for the Playoff.

 

[gohusk]

I think it's going to come down to the fact that 4 teams out of legit conferences have 1 loss or less. That's a pretty straight forward way to draw the line. I don't think it's right, but it's probably the easiest way for them to be able to defend themselves when people start bitching.

That would devalue conference championships. I cannot see the committee doing that with these teams/schedules. Just my $0.02.

Wrong Wamu you know brand name damn well means something. Anyone that says it wouldn't have made a difference if it had been Oklahoma and Texas on the jerseys from the Big 12 instead of TCU and Baylor, is very naive or in denial.
