Game Thread: #5 UTAH vs #13 oregon, Pac 12 championship game, 5 PM PST, ABC

How is this supposed to play out?

That's what we ask every game. If you hear something, holla back.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

make more than one CFP. Sit on your two L’s this season and pipe down, scooter.

And yet, OU will finish with the same record as Oregon.

Win more than ZERO CFP games and pipe down.

 

[FakeBelieve]

It’s frustrating not being able to get over this fucking hump every goddamn year.

Congrats Ducks though

Good luck in the Rose Bowl

(And fuck you)

Oklahoma is in the discussion if they win because they’re a 1 loss conference champ.

Oregon isn’t in the discussion because they’re a 2 loss conference champion. I included the boneheaded decisions against Arizona St because it was their second loss, and essentially eliminated them. They should’ve scheduled Arkansas instead of Auburn

Your attempt at being clever about Arkansas over Auburn is the same reason UNC made up fake classes for athletes.


Utah was in the discussion for the same reason. If Baylor wins don't whine that it's Ohio St., Louisiana State, Clemson, and Georgia.

All I'm saying is that Oregon should now be considered.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Yeah, but same topic, if Virgina pulls off a miracle, do they belong?

Different topic: If Virginia pulls off a miracle, does Clemson still belong? If not, then who?

I'm gonna smoke a j and think about this.

That's a dumb thing to do in a 4 team playoff

Never tried to dig at Arkansas, just the first SEC team I thought of. Could’ve said South Carolina or Tennessee and it was the same thing.

Oregon is likely being considered, but considering their record, the way they scheduled, unfortunately the reputation of their conference and the fact that they lost the game they scheduled OOC instead of beating someone worse the committee likely won’t put them in the top 4 and it makes sense.

No. A team who only beat Florida St. by 7, doesn't belong.
No. A team who lost to Miami and Louisville, doesn't belong.
No. Virginia didn't beat a team ranked as high as Utah.
No Virginia didn't beat a team that was being considered for the CFB Playoff.

Again, all that I am saying is that Oregon should be considered after beating the shit out of Utah.

Barely beat Washington and Washington State. Lost to ASU

No they shouldn't be. Talk about being a prisoner of the moment

So all I've said is that Oregon should be in the talk for the playoffs, and you wanted to argue for the sake of arguing?

 

[WizardHawk]

Holy fuck. Just actually saw the score. Utah wasn't just a fraud, that was embarrassing.

Can USC finally pull their head out of their asses so the Pac12 south stops looking worse than a G5 division?

What a rough week for UW fans.

They'll be discussed, all they really need is for Georgia and LSU to lose tomorrow.

 

[wazzu31]

Damn, I’m even more embarrassed for that loss to Utah.

Why? You guys were crap. The only team from the PAC south you beat that you played was Colorado...wtf...why are you posting this shit?

 

[006]

Agreed.

Also beat the shit out of a team that was being talked about going to the playoffs.

Never thought I'd be the only person who would suggest a Pac12 team.

Oklahoma will probably beat Baylor, and it could get ugly if Oklahoma plays well.

At the same time, Oklahoma might not be able to come back again...........

College football is a great game and we'll see how it plays out.

You could also say if Clemson beats Virginia. Virginia should drop out of the rankings. Meaning Clemson would have not played any teams currently ranked. So why reward a team with a paper thin schedule. And punish a team that scheduled Auburn OOC. Who also has raked conference wins ie Oregon?

Unfortunately there is still too much human element in this format. This is why they need to expand the play offs to at least 6. And use a selection process that doesn’t rely so much on opinion and the human element.

I agree with expanding playoffs (another discussion), bit disagree about the negativity towards Clemson
