Looking forward to seeing FSU lose in the so-called playoff. Dear College Football, please allow an eight team playoff, where all the major football conferences are represented. And ECU.
How do you take Alabama seriously after almost losing to Arkansas or Georgia seriously for losing to South Carolina and beating Tennessee by three. It's college football, #### varies wildly week to week. TCU is very good. Pretty much every team is flawed this year, Sagarin loves the Big 12 because it's a good conference. If you don't like the style, don't watch.Three. Garbage 90s WAC football on steroids in the big 12. How do I take tcu seriously after last week?How many TCU games have you seen this year? Zero or zero?Baylor and tcu are trash. Big 12 is fraud city.In no particular order, I would take these teams at 1 loss over ND:
FSU
Oregon
Auburn
Alabama
Ole Miss
Miss St.
Baylor
Georgia
TCU
That is assuming a ton but ND is going to finish without a signature win. @ASU is their best chance, that is a top 15 team at best.
A 3 point loss to a top 10 team on the road?Three. Garbage 90s WAC football on steroids in the big 12. How do I take tcu seriously after last week?How many TCU games have you seen this year? Zero or zero?Baylor and tcu are trash. Big 12 is fraud city.In no particular order, I would take these teams at 1 loss over ND:

I thought the committee was going to pick the 4 best teams. I know you are a ND fan, but I cannot for the life of me, see how anyone thinks ND is one of the best 10 teams this year, let alone top 4. They played their best game tonight and lost. They escaped UNC and Stanford. They simply don't pass my eye test. But luckily for you, they are ND, so they will probably get in if they run the table.Its questionable b/c at that time of the game, that's a 50/50 call; that type of call doesn't get called every time in the middle of the game let alone at the 2nd to last play. The committee is going to be looking at ND and saying that they were that one call from being undefeated.What was questionable about it? If you are referring to the TWO ND players committing blatant picks then I am not sure what to tell you. Hell, Lou Holtz said it was the correct call.Big XII is much deeper than people want to admit. ND will boast wins against ASU, USC, and Stanford. That isn't a better resume than any of the teams from the Big XII would have assuming they end with 1 loss.I'd make a wager that a 1 loss ND team gets in ahead of any 1 loss team that isn't from the SEC or that isn't named Oregon considering that there one loss was by 4 points to FSU on the road with a questionable finish.In no particular order, I would take these teams at 1 loss over ND:
FSU
Oregon

Ole Miss

Baylor

Will ND get in with 1 loss? Idk maybe, hell probably but they have done nothing to this point to deserve a high ranking. So help me if anyone says almost beating FSU is an accomplishment, losing is never a good thing. We aren't in pee wee anymore.
-Or-A 3 point loss to a top 10 team on the road?Three. Garbage 90s WAC football on steroids in the big 12. How do I take tcu seriously after last week?How many TCU games have you seen this year?

He likes points. Good football be damned.Anyone see Rod Gilmore's cute little graphic a few minutes ago? 4 teams that are "in"... 2 more teams on the "outside looking in".
Ole Miss wasn't one of the six.![]()
WAC GARBAGE!!!!!A 3 point loss to a top 10 team on the road?Three. Garbage 90s WAC football on steroids in the big 12.

In that case, at least 3 SEC teams if not 4 should get in b/c Auburn, Miss ST and Ole Miss as well as probably Alabama should not be penalized for beating on each other. Christ, I guess FSU shouldn't get in b/c there only wins came against a so-so Clemson team and an ND team that doesn't pass the eye test.I thought the committee was going to pick the 4 best teams.

OU will be lucky to get to a bowl with only 3 losses this year. Good chance they lose 2/3 of Baylor, TTech & OSU.Really ain't much difference between teams 1-6 in the Big 12. I'll be surprised/impressed if a team gets through with one loss. I wouldn't bet on any of them making the playoff but there's a lot of season left.
OU's coaching staff really let them team down today imo. They have got to stop being so wasteful with timeouts. The two INTs were just laughably bad calls. OU was lucky to win last week so it's hard to get mad when they are on the other side of it this week.
The PAC champ will be in...barring a 3-loss champ. SEC Champ obviously in. FSU in. From there it's ND, B1G Champ, Big 12 Champ, and SEC #2. ND losing like that was big. And there are going to be 4 SEC teams in the top 6.If Oregon can get by Stanford, they are in the playoffs.
What the hell does Florida State have to do to impress you people? lolHonestly just give me the 4 teams from the SEC West and I am confident you will crown the best team in the country.
I'm really not Into conference homerism and I can certainly enjoy the games on some car wreck level but I've heard some saying the big 12 had passed the PAC 10 which is crazy to me, even if the PAC 10 isn't what they were ten years ago.How do you take Alabama seriously after almost losing to Arkansas or Georgia seriously for losing to South Carolina and beating Tennessee by three.

We should be celebrating a major school giving up 10 PPG in this day and age of spread offenses with video-game numbers. Despite their loss in Morgantown today, I would pay good money to watch Ole Miss @ Baylor.He likes points. Good football be damned.Anyone see Rod Gilmore's cute little graphic a few minutes ago? 4 teams that are "in"... 2 more teams on the "outside looking in".

Techa Tech stinks, I think they'll win that game pretty easily. If they beat Baylor, I think they'll finish 10-2 and these two close losses (especially today) will hurt that much more.OU will be lucky to get to a bowl with only 3 losses this year.

What the hell does Florida State have to do to impress you people? lolHonestly just give me the 4 teams from the SEC West and I am confident you will crown the best team in the country.
tough crowdQBWinston is absolutely sensational. If he gets out if college beating that rape thing, a team would be nuts not to take him as the QB1. Marriotta isn't in his universe. He has such sick field vision and the physical tools to execute on what he sees. I can not believe he is a college sophomore.What the hell does Florida State have to do to impress you people? lolHonestly just give me the 4 teams from the SEC West and I am confident you will crown the best team in the country.

I actually feel better about the team after this week compared to last week. The QB injury for OSU is huge, I highly doubt we lose to them at home and Baylor can't beat anybody good on the road. I think we finish with three losses max.OU will be lucky to get to a bowl with only 3 losses this year. Good chance they lose 2/3 of Baylor, TTech & OSU.Really ain't much difference between teams 1-6 in the Big 12. I'll be surprised/impressed if a team gets through with one loss.

My presumption is, ability aside, there will be serious pressure to not OPEN the playoffs with two from the same conference. 3 or 4 years from now, let's see.The PAC champ will be in...barring a 3-loss champ. SEC Champ obviously in. FSU in. From there it's ND, B1G Champ, Big 12 Champ, and SEC #2. ND losing like that was big. And there are going to be 4 SEC teams in the top 6.If Oregon can get by Stanford, they are in the playoffs.
No, what hurts Michigan St. is the fact the Big 10 is simply TERRIBLE. Look at what happened out of conference earlier this year.That game really hurt a team like Michigan State.
Now ND is going to be ranked above them in the 1-loss team pecking order. They needed a ND win or an FSU blowout.
There's gonna be a lot of nutty teams then. McShay was on with Mickey & Mickey the other morning, and he said he spoke with about 1/3 of NFL clubs. The consensus is that Winston's actions have eliminated any chance he has of being one of the first handful of players selected.QBWinston is absolutely sensational.

Maybe not, but they get in over a 2-loss Big 12 champ or a 1-loss B1G champ.You think a 2 loss PAC champ gets in ahead of a 2 loss SEC team?The PAC champ will be in...barring a 3-loss champ.

Definitely the 2 loss Big 12 Champ. Not sure about if its MSU with loss one. It will be interesting see how the committee compares teams with different number of losses. Like how much does it value SOS vs W-L.Maybe not, but they get in over a 2-loss Big 12 champ or a 1-loss B1G champ.You think a 2 loss PAC champ gets in ahead of a 2 loss SEC team?The PAC champ will be in...barring a 3-loss champ.

I never said they didn't deserve to get in. I was just saying I believe by the end of the year I think we will see the team(s) left standing from the SEC West are going to be the best team in the country. Doesn't mean they will win the whole thing but I believe those teams have played the best football up to this point and I do not see that changing. Honestly, FSU has not played a real complete game yet this year. That actually might be a scary thought because they most assuredly are going to get in the playoff.What the hell does Florida State have to do to impress you people? lolHonestly just give me the 4 teams from the SEC West and I am confident you will crown the best team in the country.tough crowd

Big 12 has been better than the Pac 10 for years, they are 30-13 against them in the last 11 years. The past two years it's been close but right now Sagarin has the Big 12 sandwiched between the two Pac 12 divisions, but all pretty even (link and discussion here).I'm really not Into conference homerism and I can certainly enjoy the games on some car wreck level but I've heard some saying the big 12 had passed the PAC 10 which is crazy to me, even if the PAC 10 isn't what they were ten years ago.How do you take Alabama seriously after almost losing to Arkansas or Georgia seriously for losing to South Carolina and beating Tennessee by three.

I just don't see putting tcu and Baylor over ND in the context of the original post I replied to.
I just need a little defense or the threat of it.
The big 12 has clearly passed the big 10 though so I'll split the baby with you there
The Big Ten being terrible helps Michigan State. They have a realistic chance to go unbeaten in conference play. They couldn't do that in one of the other major conferences.No, what hurts Michigan St. is the fact the Big 10 is simply TERRIBLE. Look at what happened out of conference earlier this year.That game really hurt a team like Michigan State.
Now ND is going to be ranked above them in the 1-loss team pecking order. They needed a ND win or an FSU blowout.
Okay, true to that, but that also leaves them with no good wins as almost every team in that conference got a failing grade for OOC play this year.The Big Ten being terrible helps Michigan State.

I suppose but what is the ppg inside the conference?Big 12 has been better than the Pac 10 for years, they are 30-13 against them in the last 11 years. The past two years it's been close but right now Sagarin has the Big 12 sandwiched between the two Pac 12 divisions, but all pretty even (link and discussion here). OU beat Bama last year, Bama beat WVU by ten this year, Auburn beat K-State but shouldn't have, and Mizzou beat Okie State last year but the game was awesome. The conferences have played 16 games in this decade, SEC teams average 31 points and Big 12 teams average 28.

I'm also looking at the talent level overall. PAC produces significantly more NFLers.
On December 2, 2005, The Arizona Republic reported that Arizona State University officials were looking into any legal claims they might have in relation to a possible infringement of trademarks and intellectual property over Simpson performing in an ASU cheerleader uniform in the pornographic video Gina Lynn’s Double Dutch.[7] The film's producer, Gina Lynn, ultimately decided to reverse the uniform on the video's box cover so the initials said "USA" and not "ASU", and also to blur out the uniform during the time Simpson wears it on-screen.[3] Simpson continued shooting films during the controversy, working five to six days per week.[2]Courtney Simpson. Make sure to check out her work with Max Hardcore. I laughed, I cried, I came.
30-13 certainly matters but i guess I respond better to the brand of football generally played in the PAC, the Oregon and their dopey ball aside. And I hate you for even taking me down this road as I hate the PAC 10, but I think nfl talent does shed some light on the overall level of your conference. You can knock the ACC but I don't think a big 12 teams plays within two TD of Fsu. If you want to tell me the 3-6 teams are better in the big 12, i can believe it but at the top I don't consider any of those squads a national power of a playoff teamOk, great. So the 30-13 head-to-head record doesn't matter to you? Also in the past ten years the ACC has produced more NFL players than any conference but the SEC. So the ACC is the second best conference?

SEC is the best conference, but they should probably be beating these 90s WAC garbage teams by 50 no?I'm really not Into conference homerism and I can certainly enjoy the games on some car wreck level but I've heard some saying the big 12 had passed the PAC 10 which is crazy to me, even if the PAC 10 isn't what they were ten years ago.I just don't see putting tcu and Baylor over ND in the context of the original post I replied to.How do you take Alabama seriously after almost losing to Arkansas or Georgia seriously for losing to South Carolina and beating Tennessee by three. It's college football, #### varies wildly week to week. TCU is very good. Pretty much every team is flawed this year, Sagarin loves the Big 12 because it's a good conference. If you don't like the style, don't watch.Three. Garbage 90s WAC football on steroids in the big 12. How do I take tcu seriously after last week?How many TCU games have you seen this year? Zero or zero?Baylor and tcu are trash. Big 12 is fraud city.In no particular order, I would take these teams at 1 loss over ND:
FSU
Oregon
Auburn
Alabama
Ole Miss
Miss St.
Baylor
Georgia
TCU
That is assuming a ton but ND is going to finish without a signature win. @ASU is their best chance, that is a top 15 team at best.![]()
I just need a little defense or the threat of it.
The big 12 has clearly passed the big 10 though so I'll split the baby with you there![]()
In week 1, not the Fsu you're seeing now. I also wouldn't call dallas a pure neutral field.Excuse me?!?! Oklahoma State, a team that is 5th best in conference at best, only lost to FSU by 6 on a neutral field. Six is less than two TDs last I heard.30-13 certainly matters but i guess I respond better to the brand of football generally played in the PAC, the Oregon and their dopey ball aside. And I hate you for even taking me down this road as I hate the PAC 10, but I think nfl talent does shed some light on the overall level of your conference. You can knock the ACC but I don't think a big 12 teams plays within two TD of Fsu. If you want to tell me the 3-6 teams are better in the big 12, i can believe it but at the top I don't consider any of those squads a national power of a playoff teamOk, great. So the 30-13 head-to-head record doesn't matter to you? Also in the past ten years the ACC has produced more NFL players than any conference but the SEC. So the ACC is the second best conference? Neat.I suppose but what is the ppg inside the conference?I'm also looking at the talent level overall. PAC produces significantly more NFLers.Big 12 has been better than the Pac 10 for years, they are 30-13 against them in the last 11 years. The past two years it's been close but right now Sagarin has the Big 12 sandwiched between the two Pac 12 divisions, but all pretty even (link and discussion here).

I would think only his senior season. Most schools don't offer a 4 yr scholarship, it's really year to yearStupid question: they mentioned today during the game that Baylor's MLB was "finally" given a scholarship in this, his senior season. Does that mean only his senior season is taken care of, or does he get reimbursed for the cost of his first three years of schooling as well?
