2014 Preseason and Regular Season Polls

The upsets just aren't coming. Which team winning the last Big12 game hurts TCU more?

I'd think Baylor as it brings to attention the conf champ issue. As it stands the injury back door deal could hurt. Bottom Line " show me the money " is on the buckeye side

 

[greyscarlet]

It should be (1) Bama vs (4) Florida St in the Sugar and (2) Oregon vs (3) OSU in the Rose.

Already calling FSU a winner and tough luck for TCU and Baylor. Great teams but just not enough.

If I'm correct, it will be a fun playoffs.

Bama (the most dominant team in the last 5 years) vs FSU (riding in with a 29 game winning streak/Defending Champs)

Oregon (most likely rolling in with the Heisman winner and top 5 offense) vs OSU (also a high octane offense and improving defense)

SEC Champs, ACC Champs, Pac-12 Champs, and BIG-10 Champs. They didn't share titles with anybody. Put those 4 in and see who survives.

If it were me 1 Oregon, 2 fsu (undefeated yet unimpressive and dirty) 3 bama 4 tOSU

Baylor and Art Briles are breathing fire at the Big XII for this co-champions hedge they're trying to pull. There's no way Baylor jumps Ohio State, so everything Baylor is doing to campaign right now should work a in favor of the Buckeyes.

If the Buckeyes are left out we need an 8 team playoff, immediately.

Let Baylor and TCU play each other in Jerryworld for the Big XII title. We belong. Period.

Tonight was the first shut out in a conference championship game - any conference - EVER.

FSU is in, and they should be. tOSU should be #4. Champ, played more games than Big 12. Dominated a top 5 D with 3rd string QB. I don't know what else you can do.

TexPN, they are killing me.

It's sad when Lou Holtz is the voice of reason.

@BennettESPN
Asked Gene Smith what separates Ohio State from TCU/Baylor: "We're better."

Well said.

Things that have never been said in the history of the world.

The Ohio State University is a conference champ.
Free Shoes won their conference tonight.
Bammer won their conference tonight.

And TCU/Baylor sits at the kiddie table, sharing their piece of cake. Come on. No playoff game? Maybe they shouldn't have run 3 teams away from the damn conference and they'd have that argument this year.

 

[woofermazing]

I hate this posturing crap, feels like a fucking beauty pageant, not football.

 

[NFBuck]

When does the clambering to bring back the BCS begin?

 

[greyscarlet]

The positive is at at least the two most deserving teams is not in contention, that is one great thing about this system

 

[Mariotwins]

Not speaking out of confidence or match ups or anything but I've wanted us to play Bama for a long time.

Whatever Art Briles says influences the playoff committee about as much as that fart I just cut loose.
