Damn 43 seniors and you lost to the youngest team in the nation in a game where they didnt even play good. That sucks for scUM fans. This was the year, now y'all are fucked
Michigan and Ohio State are just afraid of the possibility of seeing USC in the Rose Bowl . Both teams want no part of SCUm...I'll comment on Michigan whenever I like, thanks. On that note...Michigan already played a playoff team and lost. We didn't. Oops.
P.s. I don't care if PSU makes the playoffs, I just want to see a deserving team get the 4th spot. PSU is exceeding expectations while Michigans team of 43 seniors is greatly underperforming. I can see why you're so worked up.
this is what i have
How can you deny Wisconsin for the 4th slot? Penn State should not be a favorite over them.
Because the Badgers jump around too much
Damn good comment.“Experts” have been downplaying Washington’s schedule all year. But if Washington takes care of Colorado next week they will finish 12-1 in a power conference with a 4-1 record against ranked teams/teams over .500
Yet, the talk still revolves around the possibility of a 2 loss Wisconsin or Penn State team leap frogging Washington to take the #4 spot in the CFB playoff rankings.
This is unprecedented. A dominant 1 loss Pac-12 (or Pac-10) team has never finished outside of the top 4 in the CFB rankings or AP Top 25. Matter fact, in 2010 both Oregon and Stanford finished 12-1 and were ranked #3 and #4 despite the Pac-10 not having a single team ranked in the top 25 besides Oregon and Stanford.
Stanford didn't beat a single ranked team that year and Oregon's lone quality win was against Stanford.
So what's the difference with Washington?
Name brand and prestige. I guarantee you if USC had the exact same success with the exact same schedule, they'd be a lock for #2 or #3 without anyone questioning it.
Now let's look at resumes.
Washington has faced 4 teams over .500
Both Penn State and Wisconsin have faced 2 more quality teams (over .500) on their schedule, but Washington has performed better against those quality teams outscoring those teams by an average score of 33-18. Penn State’s average score against teams over .500 is 29-29 and Wisconsin’s average score is 19-17.
If anything, Michigan is the 2 loss team most deserving of playoff consideration. They’ve beaten 3 top 10 teams including both Penn State AND Wisconsin.
I actually like Wisconsin but the Michigan and OSU losses hurt imo. I can see putting PSU in because they do have a head to head win over OSU.
Why wouldn't Colorado slip in ahead of Oklahoma, if they were to beat the Huskies in the PAC 12 CG?
That's wrong. I bet if you polled people, they would agree Wisconsin is better. I get they lost but they almost beat OSU also. And they actually won the yardage game against them unlike Penn State which won on a fluke block. Plus Vegas agrees with me that Wisconsin is the better team. That is a joke that PSU is more favorite in ANYONE'S eyes to win the CFP bid over Wisconsin.
Because the Huskies would be a 1 loss team if they win the PAC. Colorado would be a 2 loss team. With a weaker SOS than Oklahoma. If Colorado wins the PAC that leaves that spot dangling. For a team like Oklahoma, OSU, Michigan who has a head to head win against Colorado. Or several other teams who could make a case over the Buffs. Colorado isn't getting in Washington is the PACs only team that can get in IMO
Penn State beat OSU regardless. PSU played a complete game and a win is a win. While I like Wisconsin they did lose both games. I may not like it. But it is what it is
Would be ridiculous. But it will clear up after the CCG.
Not necassarily the poll is who should be ranked number 4. I think Washington should be ranked number 2. Number 3 at the lowest
