Should the Jags be automatically eliminated from playoff contention because Lawrence got hurt?

Lots of butthurt in this here thread.
Weird to see Ohio St fans back Bama here when the reality is that if the committee truly went with "best teams" then it probably should have been Ohio St in the 4 spot.

I don't. I do think they are better than FSU but I don't think they're better than OSU...so the point should be to give it to the team that earned it.

I feel like it's the only way to go

I know they're in a good spot to make it right now but i think we can all agree that they aren't a good as the Texans or the Colts without Lawrence

I mean they lost to the Bengals backup QB at home. That's bad
I don't understand. Are you the NFL commissioner? and are you lost? there is an NFL page.

I don't understand, thought you said FSU should be #4. ?

You would need to matchup something like the 49ers and the Panthers, or something close, to achieve a 14 point line in the NFL. That's an NY6 Bowl between Florida State and Georgia right now. It's really not the same, the parity in CFB is pretty underwhelming.

Ohio State lost to the #3 team (at the time).
Alabama beat the #1 team (at the time).

Ohio State's only chance was for FSU, Alabama and Texas all to lose.

Didn't happen. I have no problem with it.

I mean nearly every power and computer ranking has Ohio St higher than Bama.

That's nice and all, but the computer isn't taking into account McCord's inconsistent QB play. Sluggish offensive starts, bad footwork at times, and missing open receivers/bad throws. The D is not dominant. We didn't blitz much. It was a contain the opposing offense to small plays.

That's kinda just the problem. Most people aren't buying what metrics are selling there. Maybe that's bias, but the current format sucks. We both agree on this.

They should be.


You don't think Ohio St is better than Bama?
Look, I'm in the same boat as many out there with the annoying SEC bias and sick to death of bama. but based on what happened, I just objectively think they did what they needed to, to get in. Yes, I think OSU should have been in the conversation, but as they say, they needed some help. there are only 4 spots currently, and the credentials to get in are sky high.

FSU did not look very good in the last two games they played. they didn't. They did not go out there and destroy Lville, they way OSU did in '14 by destroying a good Wisky team 59-0.

last, if GA had won, I would've said Texas deserved to be in at 4 with how they won the Big 12 CG in convincing fashion.

Honestly, I think OSU could hang with anyone in the top 10. Which McCord was going to show up though. the mich. game was only a 6 point game, and you could say if not for McCord's 2 mistakes, OSU might have won. He was the weak link. in almost every position, I think we had equal or better talent. Except for QB. Everyone's suspicions were correct. It was McCord. we had every piece of the puzzle except QB. sucks. Such a disappointment of a year to have the talent of Harrison, and essentially let it go to waste. A lot was asked of McCord, but he took the position. Feel a little bad for him, but if you come to OSU, you know what you are getting into. he had big shoes to fill. He showed he had it in him to win the big game with ND, at night, fast last minute drive. but overall was just too shaky and inconsistent. Honestly, I think if the Game was in Columbus this year, they might have won. and I think the defense was much improved from the past two years.

really, I didn't think the Ohio University Bobcats were that close to consideration.
It really annoys me when my wife says “Who does Ohio play today?”
Or when I say we are playing Michigan state and she says “isn’t that the team that has a coach that steals signs and sleeps with his players?”
And I say “no that’s Michigan”

I am not sure many people outside of Ohio or CFB partisans think Ohio St is better than Bama, tbh.
Milroe is a playmaker, Michigan will have their hands full with that.

As far as Ohio state or Alabama… Alabama won its conference and that matters to me. Ohio state can play with anyone but they don’t deserve a spot this year.

im not convinced milroe can make enough plays throwing the ball. sure he has had flashes here and there but hes 41st in passing yards and 25th in td passes. hes not exactly lighting it up.
