B1G and Pac12 should be banned from playoff

[HuskerinBig10]

If a league, as an entirety, struggles OOC, it is a fair comparison point.

For example, let's say Ohio State loses to 6-3 Minnesota (Minnesota being 6-3 in B1G standings). If Minnesota had lost to Bowling Green and North Carolina as well, that loss looks really ugly. It could also be framed the opposite, if Minnesota crushes Bowling Green and North Carolina, Minnesota doesn't look that bad.

We will have no barometer to measure the B1G against. I also have an issue with the B1G playing 9 conference games, I think each B1G team should drop a conference game to play a required OOC game against a Power 5 team.

How many times have we judged National Title teams by their OOC performance or the league performance? We have been doing that for a long time.

2020 Tennessee Football OOC

Charlotte 49ers I don't even know what conference they are in.
Furman Paladins FCS Furman did beat some school named POINT in 2019.
Troy Trojans Sunbelt Conference

What I am learning, is that the B1G should just schedule three cupcakes in the OOC, like Tennessee. Comparing that to Nebraska's OOC of South Dakota State(2019 10-3), Cincinnati(2019 11-3), and Central Michigan(2019 8-6), Tennessee is not really testing itself. Scheduling like Tennessee, what does it prove?

..and it doesn't matter if you win the PAC when it comes to the CFP lately..

Texas can't even win their conference...which is the only conference without a CFP win. Pathetic.

They also have OU.

Yeah but we did beat ou one time in one of those years.. But I get it.. what happened what? 6 years ago? over shadows that Pac hasn't been represented in the CFP for now 4 straight playoffs?

When was the last BigXII CFP win?

When was the last BigXII CFP win?

much more recent than the last PAC MNC

but keep hanging your hat on beating FSU

And how many times have we laughed at teams who purposefully schedule nobodies to make it easier to get wins, and a playoff spot? The SEC makes a living on playing Furman in November. Those games are mostly irrelevant, except a select few. And in a COVID year, the chance of a season is already slim and difficult. Why add difficulty by playing out of conference games?

Still the largest blowout in CFP history I think.

The last BigXII CFP win = never
The last PAC NC = 2004

You would be correct if my West Texas arithmetic is right. But only by one point. Been a lot of blowouts. 8 of the games have been by 20 pts or more. 4 of them in the 30s.

1. 2015 Oregon over FSU 59-20 (39 pts)
2. 2016 Bama over Michigan State 38-0 (38 pts)
3. 2020 LSU over Oklahoma 63-28 (35 pts)
4. 2017 Clemson over Ohio State 31-0 (31 pts)
5. 2019 Clemson over Bama 44-16 (28 pts)
6. 2019 Clemson over Notre Dame 30-3 (27 pts)
7. 2015 Ohio State over Oregon 42-20 (22 pts)
8. 2016 Clemson over Oklahoma 37-17 (20 pts)

2019 wasn't even close. Clemson cruised in those two games.

 

[GoldRusher]

Well, other than Ohio State from time to time they are.

 

[DJ]

I just want some college football....

 

[BamaDude]

When did Tennessee join the B1G? I remember them losing to Georgia State, I don’t remember Ohio State losing to a Sun Belt team

Nebraska (Big 10) lost to Troy (Sun Belt) two years ago.

 

[Duckboy33]

Nebraska (Big 10) lost to Troy (Sun Belt) two years ago.

Ok. So I guess the Big Ten is out of the playoffs two years later

 

[BamaDude]

I never agreed with the original assessment. Just wanted to point out a fact. Nebraska losing to Troy isn't a whole lot different than Arkansas losing to Colorado St. Neither team was among the best the Big 10 or SEC had to offer.

 

[wazzu31]

Well the Pac 12 is already banned from the playoffs this year.

 

[Thiefery]

The last BigXII CFP win = never
The last PAC NC = 2004

Last Texas NC=2005
Oregon= NEVER

Texas hasn't been in the CFP in it's 6 year existence.. Oregon hasn't won a championship in football since.... ???

Conclusion USC will win another NC before Oregon

You conveniently left out the game against Oklahoma.

I would say both Oklahoma and Troy are good games. In fact, I would say Tennessee's OOC is far harder than most of the B1G's OOC (prior to them wimping out and cancelling their OOC).

I am looking forward to seeing TN and ou play.. I hope TN overachieves and whips the landthieves

LOL, what happened the last time you guys played Tennessee? Don't give me, we were down argument because Tennessee wasn't great either.

Also, I love how you conveniently left Oklahoma out of it. The fact is, no one has a clue how good the B1G is and without any OOC games, there isn't a barometer to measure them against.

The B1G could have at least kept some of the local OOC games like Notre Dame, Iowa vs. Iowa State, and the MAC teams.
