"If Ohio State is in the CFP then the NCAA is a Money Sham!"


          

Please tell me how Ohio State is in the College Football Playoff but didn't win its conference title and lost to the team that won the conference title?

Why even be IN a conference?

What's the argument for Washington over PSU? Or for Clemson over Wash?
Dec 04th 2016
14
Washington has a better record than Penn State
Dec 05th 2016
80
Ohio State is a clearly better football team
Dec 04th 2016
15
And putting PSU would have been as much of a money sham as osu
Dec 04th 2016
16
Is Washington's resume more impressive than Penn State's though?
Dec 04th 2016
17
      they lose by 39 to anyone? They lose to Pitt?
Dec 04th 2016
35
           Have you even watched PSU play over the past month or so?
Dec 04th 2016

                every second
Dec 04th 2016

                A game is 4 quarters tho
Dec 04th 2016

                I still have no idea how they beat Ohio State
Dec 05th 2016
51
                UW has ONE dud vs. Arizona.
Dec 04th 2016
45
                     I'm more concerned with quality wins
Dec 05th 2016

                          but Washington didn't lose to Pitt. They lost to USC.

           oh I don't like this SC team or its coach, I ain't buying PSU at all tho
Dec 05th 2016
63
                i hate PSU and their vile fanbase as much as the next guy
Dec 05th 2016
89
                     did you just compare PSU to BAMA?!? Do we need to bet this game?
Dec 12th 2016
154
                          don't know where i compared bama to psu
Dec 12th 2016
155
                               not here to critique the quality of PSU's comp, just saying SC wins this
Dec 12th 2016
156
                                    I said i like the +7 not the moneyline
Dec 12th 2016

                                         A win by Penn State would shock me, so we can agree to disagree

                                              either way, the best thing about sc's bullshit 'resurgence'
Dec 13th 2016

As fans, do we really wanna see PSU/Bama?
Dec 04th 2016
18
Definitely want to see PSU/Bama more than Wash/Bama
Dec 04th 2016
20
i have no interest in either matchup for Bama
Dec 04th 2016
21
Yeah actually.
Dec 04th 2016
23
I'd prefer USC but they don't have the CV...that's not the criterion
Dec 04th 2016
28
USC already lost to 'Bama 52-6 though and they have 3 losses.
Dec 04th 2016
34
      Right. So "which 4 teams are playing the best rn?" isn't the criterion.....
Dec 04th 2016

Definitely woukd prefer PSU/Bama

i hope UW brings it but your QB looks shook as fuck in big games
Dec 06th 2016

How about Auburn in the Sugar Bowl? Useless.
Dec 04th 2016
27
Contract said they had to take an SEC team, and pickings are slim
Dec 04th 2016
39
the fact that PSU still has a football team also proves its a money sham

Well, there's definitely that too.

we'll never find an objective way to pick four, eight or 16 teams

there's a fairly objective way for 8.

nah.

           The subjectivity is fine after a certain point.
Dec 05th 2016
69
           If it's 8, I think you have to find a spot for the best G5 team
Dec 05th 2016
70
                yep. 1 G5 and 2 other at large.
Dec 05th 2016
86
                Easily done. Eliminate P5-G5 matchups.
Dec 08th 2016
132
                     No reason for 2 G5 teams
Dec 09th 2016
135
                          As long as they *play* their way down to 1 thats ok i guess.
Dec 09th 2016

Pick 6 teams. 1 & 2 get bye. 3-6 play it out and meet 1 & 2 and so on.

The CFP was set up to prevent this kind of nonsense. But the current setup seems to be making it even worst.

It's not always as simple as if team A beats team B then A is better than B.

It's gotta be a full season. It's always going to be controversial, there is no perfect system, but it's not THAT crazy to imagine OSU still being ahead of Penn State.

Michigan > PSU > Ohio State > Michigan

PSU < Pitt < Oklahoma State < Oklahoma - Should Oklahoma be in?

Virginia Tech > Pitt > Clemson > Virginia Tech

It can't always be broken down to just 1 game.

7. "PSU has won 9 straight, beat OSU, and won the conference chip."
In response to Reply # 3


  

          

Pretty hard to argue against that. Also, if we're comparing quality of wins/losses, OSU narrowly beat MSU 17-16. A week later PSU beats them 45-12. PSU pummeled Iowa 41-14 and then Iowa goes out and beats Michigan in their next game (and this was late in the season).

Committee has always said they factor in conference championships and the timing of losses. Anyone who has watched PSU play over the past month knows they are a vastly improved team.

I'm not going to piss and moan too much either way, I just think PSU is definitely among the top 4 teams in the country right now. But again, it's Bama then everyone else so I'm not sure it's worth the emotional investment.

Can't lose to Pitt when you have another loss.

Clemson knew that and didn't lose again

I think beating both teams that made the ACC chip shows PITT isnt a bad loss...

stronger case for how corrupt the NCAA is. It just is what it is and I'm not sure anything will change anytime soon.

Do I think it's unfair that OSU get in over PSU? Bias aside, I do kind of think it is. PSU not only beat OSU, but they have been playing better as of late and won the conference championship. You can point to those early losses which look bad, but we all know this is a much, much different PSU team right now. The committee has stated in the past that they strongly consider the timing of losses and conference championships. That should work in PSU's favor. But I'm almost certain it won't.

At the end of the day, I won't be too upset though. For starters, I think 'Bama is going to beat the living tar out of everyone in the field. I'd much rather see PSU go and and win a Rose Bowl than get shit-canned by Bama. Also, we can bitch and whine about a few teams all day long, but the bottom line is the best team in the country is among the final 4 and that's what matters most. PSU should have beat PITT and played more competitively (despite missing all their LBs) against Mich. OSU shouldn't have lost to PSU if they truly are a top 3 team and Michigan shouldn't look painfully average like they have over the past several weeks. The team no one seems to be talking about is Clemson - who I feel is vastly overrated. Auburn, Troy, and NC State all had them on the ropes and they lost to PITT too.

In my humble opinion, the only team that truly deserves a spot is Alabama. After that, it gets real murky.

that would help a lot. instead their ADs schedule like some craven eunuchs, and then cry about why theyre left out.

Yeah Deshaun waited till our last 3 games to start running which means he has fresh legs

The strength of our team is our DLine...Im pretty sure JT wont have alot of time...but the weakness is the back end so if any player makes it through to the second level...long day

First half will be boring as shit
Second half after adjustments the fireworks are going to get set off

fuck it, schedule FCS teams as long as you win your division, right?

it took balls to play at Norman in September and you should get credit for dominating a top ten OOC team on the road.

This is always a huge topic of conversation in college basketball too. Slight variations, but the theme is the same: "we did great in conference play, we deserve to be in!" OOC matters.

And in regards to major conferences, there quite often are teams that didn't win their conference regular season title who get a 1 seed due to OOC difficulty/achievement.

In response to Reply # 11


  

          

I don't disagree.

That's why I'm glad Coach Pete is working to adjust our OOC schedule.

shit, he didn't sign up for these games this year they were booked.

i'm glad we were able to add a home and home vs. Auburn. i hope we add more.

not only is good if you win, but it's interesting to play teams outside of your conference.

it's also better for the fans. i'd rather play Auburn with a risk of losing and get a good game than play Portland State and beat them 66-17.

In response to Reply # 17


  

          

Be careful with making assumptions about who played who. We think penn state is good because it beat two b1g powerhouses, but we have extremely limited data by which we can confirm Wisconsin and Ohio state are good. Likewise, if USC, Colorado, and Stanford all win their bowl games, all of a sudden we aren't making fun of UW's schedule.

But it doesn't have to be that hard. Washington won a Power 4 conference with one loss. Penn State lost twice and was the third best team in its division. UDub deserves it.

37. "Have you even watched PSU play over the past month or so?"
In response to Reply # 35


  

          

I'm not saying they deserve a playoff spot, but you seem to be downplaying them a lot in here. OSU has the much better resume, but PSU did beat them and they are the more 'hot' team right now. PSU's offense has completely transformed with the maturation of McSorley and the defense is finally healthy again. They are playing as well as anyone in the country not named 'Bama.

Clemson has a lot of dud performances on their schedule. They narrowly escaped Troy and should have lost to NC State - would have if NC State had a competent kicker. They just beat VTech by only a TD.

Washington has some duds too.

Alabama is the only team that clearly stated their case for a playoff spot. After that OSU has the best resume. But again, they lost to PSU and aren't on the same hot streak as PSU (recent success is supposedly a factor in the equation) After that you could argue for Washington, Clemson, and PSU.

Leave them out. Fine, I'm definitely cool with a Rose Bowl game. But there's no way you are convincing me that Clemson, Washington, and OSU are better teams right now than PSU.

In response to Reply # 37


  

          

I saw them struggle and depend on fumble luck against Indiana, get outplayed in the first half by a 2-10 Sparty team, and get dominated along both lines of scrimmage against Wisconsin.

I don't know if they're better than Washington. I do know Washington, OSU, and Michigan are all ranked higher in the best computer models like S&P and would be favored on a neutral field. The idea that penn state got screwed is silly. At best, they were a judgement call against Washington.

Penn State had 197 total yards and were down two touchdowns at the start of the fourth quarter. then boom: two Buckeye coverage busts and two blocked punts -- all of sudden Penn State was leading, with Ohio State forced into a desperation aerial drive to tie.

they deserved to win, but it was one of the oddest turns in a big game I've seen.

they let them stay in that game (but didn't lose like PSU did vs. Pitt).

and the other dud was Browning's worst game of the year against USC who is a New Years bowl and who everyone thinks is currently the second best college team.

so........

66. "but Washington didn't lose to Pitt. They lost to USC."
In response to Reply # 60


  

          

also, why are you defining the Pac-12 title game as the ONLY quality win?

they beat Stanford who was Top 10. They beat Utah who was a top 20 team. They beat WSU who was ranked and who was lighting up EVERYONE at the time, and then they dragged the #8 team in the country for the Conf. Title.

why are people acting like the Big Ten is a bunch of world beaters? it's very much like the Pac-12: about four good teams near the top and then a bunch of scrubs. if UW actually showed up for the USC game, they'd be 13-0 and #2 with a bullet because USC isn't better than UW (they may be in the future, but not right today).

i mean, people can talk about quality wins all they want but that pretty much just means they haven't really seen UW play. We were tied for the most offensive TDs in CFB and we're 10th in defense.

i'd put a wager that UW would smoke Ohio St., Michigan, Wisconsin AND Penn St. if they played. UW's defense is on par w/ any Big Ten defense, but there's no offense in the Big Ten with the playmakers UW has.

so, * yeezy shrug *

In response to Reply # 66


  

          

Yes, the top four teams are all legit top 10 quality or better, but the rest of the conference is absolute rat ass. S&P had the average score for b1g teams, including the big four, well behind the sec and, surprisingly, the acc and I think in a virtual tie with the PAC 12. Big Ten fans who disagree should remember that we all got to play Maryland, Rutgers, and Sparty and that Iowa lost to an fcs school but finished second in the west despite playing three of the big four.

not much sense in continuing this convo any further, lol.

and the reason why colorado is mentioned because they're the highest ranked team RIGHT TODAY that washington has beat. nobody cares about what a team was ranked in week 2 or 3 or whatever. MSU and ND were top 10 teams at one point too. nobody cares.

based on absolutely nothing objective whatsoever

'desmond howard and a bunch of other talking heads think USC is playing great and we lost to USC at home but couldve beat them therefore we'd fuck everyone up not named bama'.

this is the extent of your objective evidence.

also, you're claiming that wash would beat the tar off a bunch of teams who would all be favored by over a td against washington. I'm sure the oddsmakers should be deferring to your objective expertise here.

you've ignored everything i've actually said, so why stop now?

oddsmakers? you mean the same oddsmakers who probably had Ohio St. favored over Penn St. by at least 14? yes, oddsmakers ALWAYS get it right.

you're not this dumb. but you also don't have the benefit of knowing anything about UW, so you just SOUND dumb.

I haven't ignored anything other than a lot of subjective fluff. who is UW's best win? you'd rather talk about how amazing a 3-loss SC team is than discuss washington's best win or their ass juice OOC schedule...or the fact that the pac 12 as a whole did nothing in their OOC slate.

>oddsmakers? you mean the same oddsmakers who probably had Ohio
>St. favored over Penn St. by at least 14? yes, oddsmakers
>ALWAYS get it right.

OSU/PSU prob not the best example to use given that OSU statistically dominated that game by anyway...

never said oddsmakers always get it right, only that your opinion on washington (which is based on nothing other than homerism) flies in the face of every oddsmaker in the country...not only to the extent that washington would win as underdogs but would 'smoke' all of the teams mentioned. so essentially the oddsmakers are off by 3 td's or so in their perception of UW. in multiple match-ups. thats a bold stance.

>you're not this dumb. but you also don't have the benefit of
>knowing anything about UW, so you just SOUND dumb.

LOL, yeah i guess I'm not privy to the hidden secrets of UW football that can only be found on
insider UW message boards. the oddsmakers don't have access to this info either.

you have. i've already laid out 5 times their quality wins. so why do you keep asking? the point of bringing up USC is to point out that UW lost to a team many consider the cream of the crop in the country all of a sudden (outside of Bama) vs. Pitt, who is decent at best. this will also get more interesting if USC destroys PSU in the Rose Bowl like many expect. i've also addressed in this post the OOC schedule. it's set years in advance and isn't easy to change...not our fault. Peterson is already working to improve it and the home and home with Auburn is a start (and we had a home and home with Wisconsin that they pulled out of). that's all you can do.

my opinion isn't based on homerism. my opinion is based on the actual players on the field. i've seen PSU plenty, Michigan plenty, OSU plenty...how can you not? and I'm telling you that UW will beat those teams based on the talent on the field and coaching on the sideline. it's not based on the teams each team has played, it's based on who is on each team and how those players play...which is a much better way of evaluating a team than how OSU did vs. Maryland compared to how UW did vs. Arizona St.

so you simply look at what the oddsmakers say and thats how you evaluate teams? i'll keep that in mind going forward.

pew pew. i'm done with this convo so stow it.

>you have. i've already laid out 5 times their quality wins.

yes, you mentioned stanford and utah. i asked who the best win was, so i guess i get to choose from 1 of those 2 powerhouses...including the 1 that lost at home to Cal.

whether it happens or not, it won't have any impact on anything.

ok, well if it's not UW's fault then i don't know who to blame it on then, lol.

Ok, well OSU and mich have two of the best coaches in the game and defenses littered with NFL talent...but if you've broken it down and think UW has an edge there then ok.


>so you simply look at what the oddsmakers say and thats how
>you evaluate teams?

uhhhh, no. just said that your take is a rather bold one. and that nobody agrees with you other than perhaps washington fans.

and this whole 'return to camelot' shit is completely vomit inducing.

but they'll run on sc with barkley, play aggressive and physical on D and blitz the shit out of darnold who has feasted on fugazi pac 12 defenses.

the tired narrative of sc's superior athletes is the biggest fraud going and it hasn't been that way since carrol era. we saw how badly that narrative got exposed vs bama when juju smith and adoree were supposed to overwhelm that bama D. not quite.

PSU has seen the same level of athletes when playing against osu and mich (both with better defenses than SC) and somehow PSU was able to torch a great wisky defense (again much better than what SC is bringing to the table defensively) in the second half.

helton hasn't out coached anyone in his life...don't care if you give him 6 months to prepare for this game. the coaching matchup is at best a wash.

but sc is a lot closer talent wise to psu then they are to bama.

and there's nothing on sc talent-wise that psu hasen't seen this year playing against osu and mich.

In response to Reply # 155


  

          

Never mind that while SC was losing to Bama, who are more talented than both those teams, PSU was losing to Pitt.

Now you want me to somehow believe PSU, their whole deluded program of sychophants in a lather believing they're back because they snuck up on better BIG teams who probably took them lightly, PSU feeling robbed of a chance to be in the Final Four when they were sweating out the possibility of losing to Temple twice in a row a couple months ago, PSU who haven't won a big bowl game since I was in college or maybe even high school, *PENNFUCKINGSTATE* is gonna fly out from that podunk Klan country town that enables child molestation, come out to LA in those high school uniforms, step out on the Rose Bowl field and win a shootout with the USC Trojans?!?

Or Wash/Bama? I think that's what it comes down to.

I said this in the other post: in theory I "get" the case for PSU over OSU, but I think better matchups are made w/ OSU in and PSU out.

In response to Reply # 18


  

          

Washington vs Alabama is going to turn out as lopsided as Alabama vs Notre Dame did a few years ago. At least there's intrigue in the unknown with Penn State - I don't think Alabama has played an aerial attack like Penn State's, but also don't think Penn a state has faced speed on defense like Alabama's. So it's interesting to me at least.

I've watched Washington throttle both Stanford and and Colorado, and the eye test told me that Stanford and Colorado's defenses were just undersized and slow and their offenses overwhelmed. Nothing Washington did impressed me in the two games I saw them, and their resume isn't much to write home about.

to have any kind of chance.

he smoked Standford and Oregon and those were HUGE games for us.

he just didn't have it vs. USC and Colorado. that's not good but i don't think it's a pressure thing.

i actually think his body was kind of worn down, so the four weeks off should help.

those are the two things he can work on to me for next year: being in better shape and working on his arm strength

It was still a big game for Washington since we used to own their souls back in the day and hadn't beaten them for 14 seasons.

I mean.. straight trash. Bama is gonna be on his ass and unless they go downfield it's going to be a long day.

I'm rooting for UW cause this Bama shit ain't good for the game.

Id rather see VT or Louisville.

Shit, if they need a Southern team they might as well send Georgia Tech. We won eight games too and at least we beat uga.

I don't think that was the motivation behind this post though. I think it was supposed to be a backhanded shot at OSU. As a PSU fan, I have no problem with OSU getting in and believe they should be among the top 4. My personal belief is that PSU is playing every bit as good, possibly better than OSU, Clemson, and Washington. But again, I can understand why those teams were picked over PSU.

the idea that bama cannot be beaten by anyone because they ran through the worst SEC conference in recent memory is really strange to me. they'd have their hands full with clemson or osu.

In response to Reply # 0


          

conference championships matter until they don't. non-conference scheduling matters until it doesn't. finishing strong may or may not be more important than getting blown out in September.

it'll *always* be subjective, and playoff committee faces a moving target each season. any combination of the top five teams would've been defensible.

5 power conf. champs + 3 best remaining.

when you do it that way, the 3 best remaining will, in most cases, be fairly obvious.

56. "picking the final teams will always be subjective."
In response to Reply # 55
Mon Dec-05-16 02:54 AM by will_5198

          

I'm not trashing the idea, because Power 5 plus subjective top three is mostly great (if I cared for an eight-team playoff...which I don't). but picking out of a handful of 2/3 loss teams that played different schedules is cut and dry? it's not and never will be.

the argument being had today about the top five would be the same one had every season between teams 7-11. there are too many teams playing too few common opponents with too many performance variances. it's not quantifiable.

oh and here's 2013:

1. Florida State (ACC)
2. Auburn (SEC)
4. Michigan State (Big)
5. Stanford (Pac-12)
6. Baylor (Big 12)

3. Alabama (11-1)
7. Ohio State (12-1)

8. Missouri (11-2 / SEC East champ)
9. South Carolina (10-2 / beat Missouri and #12 Clemson)
10. Oregon (10-2 / destroyed Tennesee, who beat South Carolina)
11. Oklahoma (10-2 / beat #13 Oklahoma State)

good luck figuring out that eighth team...

In response to Reply # 57


  

          

That point being, after a team has failed to hit its objective benchmark, there is nothing to complain about. You had your chance to lock it down and take subjectivity out of it, but you failed.

No sympathy for teams who dont win their conference who think they are better than the team that did.

Let the G5 figure out how to get down to make it G2.

P5 + G2 + 1 at large

Once everyone has a chance, there is no reason to whine about bids/polls/committees if you are out in the cold.

And then the NCAA will certify its champion

This way the POWER 5 get a team in and even a non-Power 5 or ND if they ever come back. Or, just a Power 5 gets 2 teams in. At least there is a chance for the top six and the series is not that long.

62. "The one problem with byes for 1s and 2s"
In response to Reply # 58


  

          

Is a scenario where a 1 and 2 remains idle for as many as two more games than their fist playoff opponent. This is especially possible with a Big 12 1 or 2 seed or a powerhouse at-large 1 or 2 - in both cases, that 1 or 2 wouldn't play a conference title game as well.

Meanwhile, a 5 seed could play in their title game while the 1 and 2 sit at home. Then the 5 plays the 4, and the 1 and 2 are STILL at home. So by the time the 5 gets to to play the 1 or 2, that 5 has played TWO more games than their opponent.

How do you arrive at the conclusion that 1 and 2 wouldn't play a conference title game? The Big 12 has a conference title game.

that there could be three undefeated teams, or several teams that finish 11-1.

now a team that lost *twice* -- including a 39-point blowout and a loss to a Pinstripe Bowl invitee -- is crying about not having a chance at the national title

the outcry against the system is very tempered. I live in PA and quite honestly, after Sunday very few people have expressed complaints with the system.

Unless I'm way off base, I'm just not seeing the mass outpouring of complaints that you and some others are claiming there to be. At the end of the day, this system is far, far better than the old system.

But I really can't argue with this. This isn't like 2014, because unlike TCU/Baylor/Ohio State, we're not dealing with teams that all have one loss.

A 12-1 Penn State team and a 12-1 Washington team (or a 10-1 Oklahoma team?) Different story. But you can't look me in the eyes and tell me a Penn State team with two losses deserves it over another Power 5 team with only one loss.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

You have to reward tough non-conference scheduling and
respect their overall resume, which is better than PSU's.


An interesting thought experiment, though, would be to imagine
if PSU/OSU's records were reversed this year. I wonder (i) how
Buckeye fans would react having been snubbed after winning
a head-to-head game against PSU and winning the B1G ship, and
(ii) whether the committee would have made a different
decision. I think there would definitely be whining with
respect to (i), and I honestly don't know the answer to (ii).

1 loss washington getting in over us would be the biggest crock of shit ever.

if state pen had only one loss and they beat us straight up, i wouldnt be mad at them getting in.

if we had two losses, I wouldnt even be clamoring for a playoff spot

that (dominating) win vs the Big 12 champ, IN Norman Oklahoma is enough to offset our ( only) cluster fuck of a loss in (not so) happy valley.

the committee saw that game and rightly concluded that we choked it away with horrible special teams blunders & PSU took advantage

In response to Reply # 99


          

I think we could have stomached a one-loss to OSU and had a case, but that Houston loss, with how their season played out, was a tough one. Why Riley and Stoops didn't just hammer the run game with Mixon after Perine went down when it was evident the defense wasn't there that day will remain one of those great clueless/arrogant Stoops moments.

11-1
Big 12 Champs (9-0)
beat Ohio State (who beat Michigan and Wisconsin)

Oklahoma finished 7th with two losses, but had they beaten Ohio State they'd jump Michigan, Penn State, Washington and of course Ohio State themselves. possibly Clemson as well, considering the timing of the Pitt loss. that puts them in the playoff.

but Pitt is a solid team I agree, however they still have 4 losses

They don't belong in the level of a NY6 bowl game but I'll give them credit for a pretty good season...but like I said before they need to clean up that defense

the ASU-Texas Tech game with folding chair defense was scorned earlier in the year, why is 'Cuse and Pitt much better?

they make it sound like PITT is garbage and doesn't have some impressive wins on its resume.

offense is the truth but I don't understand why they don't change the scheme on defense. With an average D they are a 10 or 11 win team.

They always nut up against Miami tho...

131. "In typical fashion, some folks are way over-exaggerating the complaining"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Let's be honest guys, the media, NCAA, and especially ESPN wants there to always be some drama and controversy when it comes to college football. When is there ever not at least some drama?

Do some PSU fans (not me) feel cheated by not getting a playoff bid? Sure. But most realize that their resume just doesn't stack up to Alabama's and a few other 1 loss teams. The system is what it is.

Ask yourselves this: has the complaining/whining really been out of control? Has it really been out of control for 2016 media standards???

A flawed system can still be vastly superior to the old system. Do we really want to return to the old days where things were ambiguously decided? I still distinctly remember PSU going undefeated in '94 with an extremely talented and well-balanced team. Nebraska went undefeated too and got to claim the national title (outright) simply bc they played a higher ranked team in their bowl game (bc contractually the Big 10 winner had to play the Pac 10 winner). A few years later Michigan went undefeated as did Nebraska, but Michigan got to split the National Title. How is that remotely fair? In '93, FSU won the title over ND, a team that beat them earlier in the season. Yet, ND finished #2 in the polls bc they lost to Boston College and played a lesser ranked Texas A&M team in the Cotton Bowl. I would hate to return to that old system.

The BCS was definitely an upgrade - though not without many flaws. The new 4 team playoff is definitely an upgrade, though not without flaws either. However, the complaints are tempered when you give 4, not just 2, teams a legit chance to win the title.

From the jump, I've always said a 6 or 8 team playoff would be optimal. Any more would make it a logistical nightmare. Desiring a playoff doesn't make you any less of a fan. I love football through and through. Playoffs didn't ruin high school football. It doesn't ruin college fball at the Div I-AA through III level. Football is football. There's nothing wrong with desiring a more equitable system to crown a champion.

That even as a UM fan (probably one of the 4 best teams), this is my standard level of "outrage" for the football championships.

I love the conference system; i think it should mean something for *everyone*; and i think that should be the only path towards competing for a title.

In response to Reply # 133


  

          

have wanted to see a playoff for many, many years. I remember way back in the day when Bill Walsh football came out on Sega and the season concluded with a single elimination playoff. I can't remember if it was 8 teams or not, but it somewhere in that range. I thought was a really cool concept and sort of a no-brainer at the time.

I do like the idea of having 6 teams with top 2 seeds (I probably proposed this idea at least a decade ago on here) getting a bye. 1 winner from each power conference represented and 1 wild card winner. Or you could go 8 to assure that if a highly ranked team from a lesser conference like the AAC, C-USA, etc. can have a shot. 8 would be the absolute max though.

And yes, there would still be controversy. Who cares though? At least no one will feel cheated out of seeing a true champion.

it's no longer about finding the best 4 teams in the nation. so pick your poison, i guess.

it's interesting how you can lose your conf tourney but still be a #1 seed in college hoops. I know, it's not a perfect comparison but nobody gives a shit when that happens.

Not if it means debating between a 2nd place team from conference A and the champion of conference B

If the "best" team in the Big 10 didnt win it, why would anyone go to war for the them ACTUALLY being the best? They had 3 months to prove it and failed.

I dont need condoleeza rice's eye test. I have standings after 12/13 games.

Also in basketball, there are like triple the data points to consider. So one game doesnt mean as much. Secondly, i dont really find myself caring about tournament seeding much either. You're in and you have to beat the big boys either way.

this just doesn't make any sense. did wisconsin fail less than OSU did since they made the big 10 championship despite 2 conf losses to the best teams in the conference?

also what happens when osu and mich are undefeated and ranked 1 and 2 but one of them can't go to the champ game because of divisional alignment?

getting hung up on the conf champions doesn't help anything in regards to crowning the best team or creating the most compelling matchups that people will actually stay home on new years eve to watch.

In response to Reply # 143


  

          

The committee veered from it this very year. If anyone cared about "best team" Oklahoma or Michigan would be playing instead of Washington, despite the fact that they dont actually deserve it and Washington does. When OU can go undefeated in a P5 conference and ride a 9 game blowout streak all the way to a Sugar Bowl game vs a 4 loss Auburn team, thats a problem. Why would anyone ever challenge themselves outside of the conference ever again? If Im Oklahoma im buying out every big game i have and replacing them with sun belt teams.

Thats what i want. Biggest stakes in the fucking world for the best rivalry in football. Win and move on, lose and dont.

Im not sure about that. The "compelling matchups" is meaningless as a factor for deciding who gets to keep playing. And there is no reason the games have to be on NYE unless the networks cowtow to the NFL forever. But an NCAA football tournament? You dont think people would watch that?

The bottom line is that crowning the "best team" requires subjectivity and is stupid. UCONN wasnt the "best" team in the country in 2011. But no one cares. Because they are champions.

I think the committee painted themselves into a corner with washington and were afraid to leave the pac out again. mich lost 2 out of their last 3 games and their only win outside the state of mich was rutgers. there was just nothing that could be done to help their cause.

> Why would anyone ever challenge themselves
>outside of the conference ever again?

and you think by making it strictly about conf championships will incentivize programs to schedule elite OOC matchups?

>Everyone failed except PSU.

wisconsin didn't fail because they made it to the champ game despite losing to OSU and mich. and what if wisky won that game vs psu? it's stupid.

bleh. not for me, thanks. this year's game had max level stakes. we don't need anything added on top of it.

cfb has simply never been about conf champions so i don't know what the incentive is in starting now.

LOL. keep dreaming. this is a business, let's remember that. and don't think that the horrific ratings from putting msu and iowa into huge bowl matchups last year don't enter into the committee's thought process. those games were ratings disasters.

that's a separate discussion altogether but even if it wasnt on NYE nobody is checking for western mich vs bama. matchups are important.

true, not many care about college hoops. certainly not as much compared to cfb. check the ratings for regular season college hoops. it's not exactly a sport worth emulating.

they had the right idea -- with a bunch of one-loss conference champions, the teams with better OOC wins get in. as mentioned, Oklahoma would've benefited hugely from beating Ohio State (they'd be the #2 seed right now). their only problem was they lost.

making every conference champion a guaranteed playoff participate might encourage more teams to schedule tough OOC as a gauge, like college basketball. with the poll system, CFB has always been risk-averse in OOC. that'd be better.

now given the nature of some programs, they may just schedule three tune-ups and worry about winning their conference games. basically treat OOC as bye weeks, because those games don't matter. that would be a lot worse.

but using 2016 as an example that OOC scheduling will be completely dialed back makes no sense. Ohio State-Oklahoma was a play-in game for the #2 overall seed.

I would have to assume those three games become opportunities to challenge and test yourself.

A lot of teams already do that tho. I dont think it could get that much worse. Banning FCS-FBS games woild be a good start.

But it didnt have to be. OU plays Tulsa that day and they are still alive. Granted the flipside is that if OSU played Akron that day they would be out.

In response to Reply # 136


          

conference tourney and the best team in the conference gets left out by the committee.

I think it's odd how a team like Ohio State can sit on the couch on Championship weekend and benefit due to a team losing the conference title game.

you pretty much get rewarded for losing 1 game early in the year.

the "sanctity" of Big conference play includes no round-robin and two divisions that solely exist because of TV revenues.

Penn State's road wins in conference (and overall) were Rutgers, Purdue and Indiana. They didn't even play Wisconsin and Nebraska in the regular season.
Obviously they can't control this, but it makes a huge difference and without full round robin play, a conference title game doesn't really prove anything unless the team is unbeaten in conference.

In response to Reply # 131


  

          

Any team that got left out, including mine, had the power to get in if they would have just won more games (except Western Michigan, but that's a different issue.)

With the BCS system it was very possible to have 3 undefeated teams with one getting left out. It is VERY unlikely that we'd have 5 undefeated teams in the current landscape. And if you're arguing on who is the better/worse 1 or 2 loss team, eh...the team left out could have been in if they won more games.

now the question is, can he hold onto his starting spot in the spring and fall?

dwayne haskins and joe burrow are both talented qbs who will be looking to dethrone him...

i wonder how "open" the competition will be..if JT could lose his spot to Cardale, anything is possible

and it's awkward as hell cause everybody likes the guy...but nobody wants him as the qb anymore.

i find it hard to believe that urban would actually have an open qb competition. JT didn't come back to sit on the bench.

they need to manage this a whole lot better than they managed JT/Cardale.
