BIG is getting embarrassing

[Laxtonto 13328]

Makes me wonder if the B1G is slow playing this as much as possible to give the Pac12 some time to invent away to invent some serious crow and also try to move forward with some semblance of a season..

Ahh, that's fair. However, aggy didn't get there non-con schedule of crippled baby seals to play and non-infrequently struggle against, so even the baby seal clubbing game is diminished somewhat.

I've looked around the room and can't pick out the baby seal - aggy (being the baby seal)

Who cares. Not many teams are better than Ohio st. They’re a playoff contender whether they play Arkansas St or not.

Why on Earth would they make the decision-- NOW-- that there will be no fans? By the time they start, they'll have 5-6 weeks of data to evaluate, from schools that DID have fans at their games.

They're making the exact same mistake they did previously.  There's simply no reason, at all, to make this determination now.  Go ahead and plan on having fans at whatever % occupancy your local/regional authorities will allow, and then if it looks like it's not working out elsewhere around the country, pull the plug at the last second.  It's just stupid to make a decision like this now, when there's absolutely no need to do so.

Just like it was stupid to announce no fall football at all, on August 13th,

Your logic is exemplary, but we’re talking about the playoff committee

[Bartles 769]

Since no one in the country played a good non-conference game, an 8-1 or 9-0 Big Ten champ absolutely deserves a spot. This just eliminates the American champ even if they're undefeated. Big 12 champ (ahem) better have zero losses to be safe in the argument vs. SEC #2. But I honestly think the committee will go even harder for conference champs only, considering what all the leagues had to go through just to get the season going.

Also LOL another ethical dilemma for the AP poll...can we jump the B1G guys back in right away, or wait until they've actually taken the field?

they will have to.  how do you wait 5 weeks while a bunch of undefeated teams coagulate in the top 10 before tosu starts their murderer's row of:

maryland

Rutgers

indiana

illinois

purdue

northwestern

nebraska

which of those wins vaults them in to the top 10?  the top 5?  and once they get to 5-0 and the the acc/sec/XII start winding down how are they going to justify a win over 3-3 northwestern or 3-3 corn meriting a place of the undefeated and 1-loss teams in the acc/sec/XII ??

 

b1g goes in to the next poll.

that "1" in Penn State / Michigan's record will probably come at Ohio State's hands, so

In terms of playoff competitiveness, the Big Ten is Ohio State and 13 nationally irrelevant programs. the only thing that will keep Ohio State out of the playoff for the foreseeable future is if Ryan Day is prone to the kind of "meh, whatevs" coaching decisions that caused the Purdue and Iowa losses in 2018 and 2017. they looked like a program that had corrected its few Urban Meyer era weaknesses last year.

It would likely be at the expense of OU or Texas and the XII is doing more harm than the B1G ever could.  Pathetic performance by a lot of our league.  And I like you guys.  But when you have one out of conference game and that shit happens, it’s ugly.

If the rapid test is positive you need PCR because it’s more accurate.  Unless they’re using some rapid testing that’s more accurate than I have seen.  So yes, it would be a trainwreck to try to get 8 straight weeks in without a bubble.

I am not sure either of us has the brand to carry a playoff bid under these circumstances. OU's reputation is "they kill the weak Big 12 and then get whipped in the playoff". Our reputation is "Texas is back HURRRRR". We really could have used a win over LSU. If either of us runs the table and our best win is over the other, we could be on the outside looking in.

Yep. Now that tOSU is back in it, the last playoff spot is going to be Big 12 winner vs. second place from the SEC or ACC. I still think the Bug 12 winner will get in if they have one loss or less. A 2-loss champ versus a team who’s only loss is to Clemson or Bama gets a lot more dicey. With very limited OOC games, style points are going to matter a hell of a lot this year. OU and UT need to be not just winning but blowing out inferior opponents.

Nah. We are in a situation where teams that have not even played are moving up the Top 25 because there are so few teams. We are not going to be left out this year if we go unbeaten. Now one loss is something else.

Yeah, I don't disagree.  Remember when "data points" mattered?

But if the committee could actually engage in critical thinking skills they could realize that no other conference played non conference games.  You think Mississippi State and Virginia and Iowa weren't all capable of losing to a bunch of mid majors had they played last week?  I realize you get that, and the issue is with the committee that has made it their mission to bend over backwards for the Big 10 and SEC.

Losses to Arkansas State, Louisiana and Coastal Carolina are death knells. Sorry. Doesn't matter what other conferences do or don't do.

Well they are playing 8 games vs our 10. One of our games is against a G5 patsy. And (no offense) part of our league appears to be G5 caliber. So I don't see a big SOS difference. What will make me mad is if tOSU is given a schedule of all the league's weaker teams. At least we are still playing a full round robin.
