Does Baylor Jump Ohio State?

[rolltide14_0]

I think Baylor definitely jumps Ohio St.

Luckily the media has completely written off the big ten this season, and no chance Ohio state goes to the ship ahead of any BCS undefeated team. Baylor might jump ohio state just by beating oklahoma on thursday

The battle for 4th and 5th doesn't matter this year

Don't get too cocky now.

Assuming Baylor would jump Ohio State; Possible FSU loses to Miami; That puts Baylor in 3rd right there.

Then if Bama or Oregon lose a game = Baylor in the NC. It's possible.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It does?

I was thinking of FSU-Miami

 

[yeodonie]

I guess we should stop talking about Oregon altogether than

:rollseyes:

#2

Oregon fans should be cocky, they've been winning national titles for awhile now and have earned the right to pencil themselves in the BCS title game.

That's just dumb.

Nobody is being "cocky"

The simple fact is that unless Bama FSU and Oregon loses it doesn't matter if Baylor jumps tOSU or not. (This year)

Ohio State was in a hard fought game in the 3rd quarter with Buffalo.

There was a bad penalty that kept Buffalo from getting a critical turnover and a real threat to win.

That game was a big reason why Ohio State fell from their #2 start.

.............

I know each game is different.

But if we are talking razor thin margins, every little thing has to be considered.

Baylor annihilated Buffalo.

Ohio State was still in a very dicey game in the 3rd quarter.

It is not a huge thing......

But, the voters would be debating a very very tough and close debate.

The tiny little things like the Buffalo game would matter.

Yah, I would be more concerned with the mistakes OSU made to make it close, then margin of victory. Bc if they don't make one mistake it is a likely 5 TD win and momentum swings. So that is the only reason.

I say every game is different bc it happens every year.

I used to bet and one of my buddies went off that shit---one team killing another and close margin of victory with another team. Then these two teams matchup and it is a totally different matchup and outcome---ai never look at that (at least I try)

Sarcasm Font mf'er.

Use It!!!!

Lets just see what happens in the next few days. FSU/miami, oregon/stanford, and Baylor/oklahoma should seperate the pretenders from contenders. At least we're all in agreement that ohio state has no business in the natl title game.

I am not even sure Oregon is a lock.

Their schedule might be the worst of the bunch.

The PAC 12 will be lucky if it generates even 2 teams with less than 4 losses.

If Notre Dame or USC make some more noise, there can be a scenario where Oregon is the only ranked PAC-12 team.

Oregon should be thanking WISCONSIN everyday that Arizona State still only has the 2 losses.

 

[Red_Alert]

I think you've got to give the similar respect to Northern Illinois that you give to tOSU.

They have two common opponents in Iowa and Purdue.

N. Illinois win @ Iowa was more impressive than tOSU beating Iowa in Columbus imo.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Baylor could jump tOSU, but darn state of Texas let Ohio have something. They're one economic downturn away from zombie-style cannibalism.

Anything is possible. FSU could lose to Miami, Oregon coupd lose to Stanford and Bama could lose to LSU, OSU could lose to Michigan and Baylor could win out or we could see no undefeated teams and Bama back at #1

I think FSU has an easier SOS schedule ahead than Oregon left aftercthis week for sure.

Doesn't matter...

We get it dude...

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Actually it does MATTER.

If you look to recent history, there have been teams ranked #6 or #7 (about this time of year) get to the national title game.

If you don't get positioned now, you cannot take advantage of stumbles.

Even the seemingly less important position of #4 vs #5 is extremely valuable for those teams.

 

[Red_Alert]

I don't think anyone really expected Notre Dame to make it to the NC at this point last season.

Everything's on the table.

 

[Texas Jefe]

If they win out?

Baylor finishes the season with 5 games, against likely 4 ranked teams:

Oklahoma (10)
Texas Tech (15)
Oklahoma State (18)
TCU (NR)
Texas (will likely be ranked)

Ohio State finishes with 4 games, with at most 1 ranked team:

Purdue (NR)
Illinois (NR)
Indiana (NR)
Michigan (21 - likely won't hold up)


* Thoughts???

If they win out, they deserve to jump them. If they win out, that means no one has found a way to stop them or slow them down enough. If that is the case, that offense trumps anything OSU will face. Imo.
