  1. Let’s say LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson all win out. They’re in. 

     

    OU, Oregon, and Bama also win out. 

     

    Who gets the fourth spot? Bama won’t be a conference champ but they will have beaten Auburn, who beat Oregon. OU will be a conference champ, but they easily have the worst loss. 

     

    Close between OU and Oregon. Keep in mind by then the loss comparison could easily be Oregon lost neutral to 8-4 Auburn and OU lost road to 9-3 Kansas State so not “easily” the worst loss unless you just mean as compared between OU and Bama. Also possible by then that OU has 4 wins over teams in final rankings (Texas, OSU, Baylor, title game) and Bama and Oregon have one each (Auburn and Utah).

  2. The 538 numbers seem about right IMO. The 3% for Wisky would be when they are B1G champs which they can still do.

    Zero or 1 loss SEC champ is a lock
    Zero or 1 loss B1G champ is a lock
    Unbeaten Clemson is a lock
    Unbeaten Baylor is a lock

    After that the stew gets murky. I think a 2 loss SEC champ is still a lock bc it will be coming off a win over 12-0 LSU. But how would a 11-2 SEC champ Florida compared with 12-1 SEC runner up LSU when they split the series and LSU win at Texas while Florida played two FCS games? 11-2 SEC champ UGA prob compares a bit better and is almost surely in.

    I think 12-1 OU and 12-1 Oregon are extremely close. I think 12-1 OU goes over 12-1 Utah. I think all these teams are probably behind a 12–1 tOSU or 12-1 LSU that lost its conf title game.

    12-1 Baylor is behind all of the above and also prob behind 12-1 ACC champ Clemson but ahead of 12-1 non champ Clemson. I think 11-1 Bama is right at the same line as 12-1 Baylor or Clemson. Same for an 11-2 B1G champ Wisky.

    Should be a fun month!

  3. Yes and I know exactly what you're saying after ou won the game, which was my point.


    Well I guarantee during the game I didn’t want them to go for 2. I thought OU’s chances were much better in OT than to stop one play. You seem to agree with that so I dunno why you think I wouldn’t feel that way at the time.
  4. They only use the conference champion rule when it’s a team not named Alabama. When it’s Bama they typically use the eye test. It’s the only way ESPN.... I mean the committee can be fair. 


    I offered a wager. They’ve never done it before and I don’t think they will do it now.
  5. Underdogs going for two overwhelmingly miss (unless they score too quick, in which case the other team goes down the field and wins with a FG).

    Source of this data? Where are the numbers? Or is this your “guess”?


    OU was on the ropes and ISU was scoring TDs pretty much at will. Extend the game first, then win it. I wonder what former 5 star recruit will transfer in to the Big 12 champs after they get stomped in the playoffs?


    When a boxer has someone on the ropes do they want to finish them now or let them get to the end of the round, recover, and come out refreshed for the next round?

    Also, guarantee if they kick and OU wins in OT the huge majority of naysayers would then say they should have just killed them when they had the chance.

    And good news! We have our own 5 star recruit now!
  6. I’ll bet anyone who wants it that Bama doesn’t go over a 0 or 1 loss champion from any P5 league other than a 1 loss ACC champ.

    Also Indiana over KSU and OSU is dreck. Indiana has 0 top 50 wins. ZERO. They have a 40+ point loss and also lost while giving up 40 to a bad 4-5 Sparty team.

    Well, it's a fast food chicken sandwich.

    I don't think there's any food item on the face of the planet I'd be willing to sit in a traffic jam or risk getting killed over.  Let alone  a fast food chicken sandwich.  Even if it's the best of said category.  Said category only justifies a certain level of hype, and the hype around this fucking sandwich is above and beyond the level of hype any fucking fast food chicken sandwich should have attached to it.

    have you had it?

    I have had it, and Al is 100% correct.  It's REALLY good. It's also a $5 fast food chicken sandwich.  Not worth waiting in giant lines or taking trips to Suplex City for. The lines are just so simpletons can say they have had the hot new thing. Let the mouthbreathers get their 15 minutes then swoop in and enjoy.

    I remember Baylor beating aggy on a two-point conversion back when they were in the Big-12. I remember because I heavily celebrated the aggy loss.

    LOL I also remember this.  It was at Baylor and A&M was ranked and heavily favored. Dave South's call was the best ever. You hear him start the play call, pause, then you hear the dozens and dozens of Bear fans erupt in cheers and he is just silent for what feels like an eternity then mutters "Baylor wins"

  9. Going for 2 was absolutely the right call. As a Sooner fan, I promise you I would have MUCH rather they kicked at the time. For those saying ISU had the momentum, exactly. OU was completely rattled. OT lets both teams regroup and settle in. Take advantage right now.  Also, there weren't 0 seconds left on the TD. OU still has 3 timeouts and 25 seconds and a solid kicker. Even if ISU is 50% to win in OT (they aren't), they wouldn't be 50% to win the game by kicking, because OU will get a GWFG some percent of the time. 

    Plus, ISU will have to beat OU's offense in OT. They just have to beat their D to get the 2 point conversion, which is obv much easier.

    I think OU got on the bus to Waco at halftime thinking it was in the bag. Congrats to ISU on putting up a hell of a fight when lots of teams would have just lost 52-21.

  10. I predict hysteria Tuesday because Bama will be like 5 or 6 but the committee doesn’t “look forward” to anticipate no conference title for them. Teams will pass them when they win conference championships. I think they are done barring an extremely unlikely collapse by LSU which gets Bama the division or there aren’t four one-loss or unbeaten conference champs.

  11. Sooner fans being OK with improper benefits is very 'on brand'


    Ha I’m surprised it took this long. That said, I didn’t say I’m ok with it, but I understand. The scholarship, while valuable, doesn’t do you any good when your mom is being evicted or you need to travel home for a funeral or your family wants to watch you play in one of the most historic venues in college football. You can’t get that back in the future.
  12. You should go back to Oklahoma. Preseason rankings determine your win quality? lulz
    Anyway they went on to win it all so they really did deserve to be there, but not winning your conference (or even playing the extra championship game) then going to the CFB Playoffs is pretty shitty.


    When you play a team that is largely considered a top 5 team and you break their star player and put him out for the season, it should at least be considered yes. It isn’t like he blew his knee at practice after. I also don’t think it’s worth the same as beating an end-of-season top 5 team but is better than a random 6-6 win.
  13. It's the Alabama invitational, they are in unless they get two losses. 
    How hard is that to understand? 
    Did you not pay attention in 17/18 when Auburn beat Alabama and they didn't even play in the SEC title game and still got into the playoffs?


    Which 0 or 1-loss P5 conference champ was left out for Bama? Oh, that’s right, none.

    Also that Bama team lost on the road, not at home, and had two wins over top 20 teams plus annihilated a preseason top 5 FSU, breaking their QB in the process so they spiraled to 6-6.
  14. Beating 6-3 Pitt by a TD isn’t the same as fading a 2 point conversion that beats you against a sub 500 UNC.

    Penn State’s resume is better. Clemson is a better team. I think the delta between resumes is bigger than that between team strength.

  15. I think you're overlooking the fact that Iowa and Michigan suck. 


    They don’t “suck.” I weary of this silly mindset that 4 or 5 of the 130 teams don’t “suck.” They are among the 20 best teams in college football and dwarf any accomplishment that Clemson has this season.

    “Not elite” “sucks”.

  16. They look like the best team so far. LSU has the best resume, even downwardly adjusting for how mediocre we've turned out to be.
    Clemson has been pretty underwhelming but putting Penn State ahead of them is pretty much trolling at this point; Penn State hasn't done jack shit. 


    Penn State won at Iowa and beat Michigan.
  17. I actually thought they did a quite good job. My quibbles - I would have OU ahead of Utah (obv) and I think ND is a couple spots too high. But I think they didn’t just sort by record and did a good blend of “eye test” and pure resume. Minnesota is where they should be. They will be fine if they do what an actual top 5/10 team should do with the rest of their schedule.

    Takeaways:
    If Clemson loses they are toast barring huge chaos.

    Bama losing to LSU puts them on shakier ground than I would have thought.

    People will end up losing their minds because teams drop while winning because they reevaluate the entire resume. Georgia right now has better wins than some of the other one loss teams. As that gets evened out, the S Carolina loss becomes bigger. In UGAs specific case it doesn’t matter because if they win out they are in and should be and if they lose again it will take chaos.
