Well I now have some doubt about Ohio St getting in over Bama

[dennis580]

It was pretty shocking to see 3 loss Mid Major Fresno St ranked as the Committee usually absolutes hates mid majors, but Fresno St is part of Bama's resume. Heck the Fresno-Boise rematch could even decide who gets in between Ohio St and Bama. I also don't believe that 4 loss Miss St deserves to be ranked.

Still Bama doesn't have any win better then #17 LSU while Ohio St's 3 top 25 wins would all be better with 2 top 10 wins over Wisconsin and Penn St., and beating a undefeated Wisconsin at the end should carry a lot of weight as long as it is not a fluke win, but a win where they outplayed Wisconsin

Mississippi State would be 9-3 and top 15 if Fitz didnt break his leg....Who has Penn State beaten to justify their #9 ranking??

Mississippi State still would have lost.

No, they wouldn't have. Don't let anti SEC bias cloud your judgment.

Nothing to do with SEC. I just don't subscribe to the "but if"...theory. I hate that argument.

They damn near came back and won with a true freshman that looked like a deer in the headlights after the entire team was shell shocked by a gruesome injury to their QB, who is a damn good QB.

Yeah I get that but they didn't win and that's it.

If Francois wouldn't have gotten hurt against Bama week 1 FSU would have come back from 17 down and been in the playoff discussion now.

Their was only like 5 mins left when he got hurt. Look at the numbers last years FSU offense put up with just as awful an offensive line and compare it to this years numbers. The difference is Francois.

Osu got a huge gift last year from the committee, they are not going to make that mistake again

My point is anyone can throw out numbers and what-ifs. Only thing that matters in this situation is the final score.

(Except if Barrett hadn't thrown that first pick against Iowa in the 1st quarter, then OSU would be in for sure after Saturday.)

The difference is Dalvin Cook.

 

[Mistaken4193]

The difference is Dalvin Cook.

He was hurt all the time in his career. Look at the passing numbers and scoring numbers.

 

[Wild Turkey]

He was hurt all the time last year. Look at the passing numbers and scoring numbers.

Look who was the difference in the close games. FSU has at least 2 more loses without Cook last year probably 3.

Stats are for queers.
