Spoke too soon. Pat blocked, scooped, ran the other way for 2 points. 19-16 minny

Psu drives the field in 40 seconds. TD, tie pending pat

Minny gets jobbed on a PI on a ball that was 3 yards ob to help move psu down the field.

Psu punting from their end zone with 1:00 left in the half, minny gets a hand in the punt, start their drive at the 20 yard line. 1st play flea flicker hits the te uncovered in the end zone 17-10 minny

But ole miss was the team no one wanted to see in the playoff!

pff rates him as the best qb on throws over 20 yards.

Wow

There is no universe where I wouldn’t be rooting against Ohio state in this one, but my neighbor’s grandson is IU’s center. Would love to see him make it into the playoff. /csb

These fans can get fucked. Osu DBs hold and interfere constantly.

Shocked a call went osu’s way.

All of those people will believe that he drained the swamp because he’ll tell them he did. And that’s all the proof they need.

Neither will actually get the 5 seed unless it’s IU after beating osu & losing to Oregon in the championship game. The 5 seed will go to b1g championship game loser, the 6 seed will go to texas if they lose the sec championship game or psu if texas wins the sec because they and ND would be the only ones left with only 1 loss, and PSUs loss not being a bad loss. ND/3 loss sec championship loser get 7 & 8.

Texas is not at risk with one loss. Not even a little bit. And neither is Penn state with 1 loss. I’m also counting Texas with a second loss coming in the sec championship game in that. Texas with a loss to aggy is at risk, psu with a loss to Minnesota is probably out. The committee has shown that the number of losses a team has is the first criteria. Then all of the other factors like quality wins and strength of schedule come into play. The talking heads and fans of 2 loss sec teams are taking the approach of just ranking teams based on the eye test in their biggest game. That allows the 2 loss teams to ignore their multiple losses, their bad losses, the shit ooc games in November. It all comes down to how good is your best win and nothing else, because then they’d have to accept that one of the 2 loss sec teams is going to be left out, and there are arguments for all of them to be left out. If the chalk holds, the only decision beyond seeding is 1 loss Indiana vs 2 loss Tennessee.

You’re right, completely forgot about Cincinnati. I’m a dumbass.

I’ll give you USC. Having LSU & ND ooc is legit. Even ND makes sure they have a few marquee games on top of the shit they pack in there. The other ones, they definitely get some credit for sure. But those games mean shit often enough that they go into that 3rd group with LSU.

The closest a G5 team was ever going to get was 2017 UCF. Only undefeated team, 2 wins over top 25 teams. Showed they could hang by beating #7 in the peach bowl. But there was no way bama, uga, ok, or Clemson were going to be left out for ucf even though they were the only one without a loss. B1g didn’t even get a team in that year because osu had 2 losses and then gave wisc their only loss in the b1g championship game.

It’s not even up for debate that Texas approaches ooc scheduling with more integrity than any other school. They want a ooc game against a national championship contender every year. The second tier after them includes bama, Ohio state, and Michigan. LSU is a small step behind them. Everyone else can get fucked.

And Tennessee’s remaining sos is 70th. The debate after all the games are played will be between 2 loss Tennessee and 1 loss Indiana. Tennessee fans and Finebaum will wail and gnash their teeth about the lack of quality wins for Texas, psu, & iu. But they’ll be sitting there with a suddenly unimpressive sos, and an extra loss to Arkansas. And they’ll put up their schedule on the screen and people will talk briefly about the big win over bama and hope that no one will notice that they only have one other good team on the schedule and they lost 31-17.

So the nomination was just a gift to Gaetz for being a Trump loyalist to give Gaetz the cover to step down before the ethics report was released, knowing full well he’d never get confirmed, right? And then they can shout about the Dem and rino swampers sunk his confirmation before it got started.

At the end of the season IU’s strength of schedule number wont look wildly worse than ole miss or Tennessee. IUs remaining strength of schedule is 4th, ole miss is 49, and UTs is 70th. Outside of uga, ole miss does not have a good schedule. Tenn at least got uga and bama. But both take a cowardly approach to non conference scheduling. It sucks for IU that UM and UW fell off as hard as they did. At the end of the day I’m not going to lose sleep over whoever gets left out. If it’s a 1 loss IU, well you shouldn’t have ducked Louisville ooc. If it’s a 2 loss sec team, well you shouldn’t have lost to vandy, Arkansas, or Kentucky on top of another loss.

Him being a millionaire has nothing to do with this specific stupid take. He might be great at nba, I don’t know, I’ve never heard of him. He just has a bad take that losses, and bad losses at that, don’t matter for the sec teams just because he thinks they’re good teams. It’s not just him either. There’s a number of people that are of the mind that quality wins are the only measuring stick. That somehow having multiple losses including bad teams makes you more deserving than IU, psu, or Texas just because you beat uga or bama. It’s just a dumb opinion to have. The guy even knows it when he says that he’s normally of the opinion that losses matter, but not this time. And then he uses wins over arky and lsu as decent wins. strength of record: IU - 6 bama - 7 Tenn - 10 ole miss - 12 Indiana is probably worse than those teams. But the results on the field matter.

Neither you, nor that asshat in the video that you said you couldn’t disagree with was talking about Indiana after a loss to Ohio state. This set of rankings is looking at where Indiana is right now. And where a bunch of 2 loss sec teams with bad losses are right now. And they are rightfully below Indiana. Indiana’s schedule is all in front of them. If they beat osu on Saturday they’ll be playing Oregon for the 1 seed. If they lose close to osu they’ll probably have to go play a 1st round game in Athens or Tuscaloosa. If they lose bad, they probably need an upset to get in at all. Even your guy in the video says how he normally has the stance of losses matter but… and then goes on to say that because he thinks the 2 loss sec teams are good and Indiana and Penn state aren’t, that the losses don’t matter. And that’s just fucking stupid. I hope Indiana makes it in. I’d love to see them somehow end up hosting one of the 2 loss sec teams. Bama, ole miss, and tenn have all shown that they are capable of losing to teams that are worse than Washington or Michigan. And while IU doesn’t have a win like any of those teams, they don’t have a loss, let alone 2 losses.

If Indiana gets blasted by osu on Saturday they should absolutely, and likely will, drop like a stone and unless there are some upsets. A bad loss probably puts them just outside needing an upset or two to get in. They’d need Texas to beat aggy and then another sec team to get a 3rd loss. The should also be punished for that non conference schedule, just like ole miss should be for theirs. But at least ole miss played wake. With a loss to osu, they’d probably find themselves wishing they hadn’t can the game with Louisville looking for something to call a quality win.

This is so fucking stupid and is exactly the nonsense that I was talking about upthread when I said that for some people the lack of a clear cut top tier in the sec equate to everyone being awesome. @TrashMaster G This equates to nothing more than “I think uga and bama are awesome so their losses don’t mean anything.” And not only does uga losing twice not mean anything, but ole miss and tenn must also be awesome since they beat uga and bama. And we’re again supposed to just ignore losses to Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Arkansas. He went so far as to call out LSU as a good win. LSU fucking sucks. Southern cal beat LSU week 1 and absolutely no one will try to claim them as a quality win for psu or nd. Do I think Indiana would be favored against bama? No, but they’ve smoked everyone they’ve played, didnt play Mercer in November, and they also didn’t lose two games including fucking Vanderbilt. The bad losses have to mean something but to the sec slobbers it either gets flat out ignored or “actually Vanderbilt, arky, and uk are all really good teams despite what their records say.”

Not knowing when that site starts tracking the lines, that was probably one of a handful of games that had lines at the beginning of the season.
