2016 CFB Conference Championship Week Open Thread

if clemson beats virginia tech like washington has beaten colorado, i wouldn't be shocked if we play bama in the semifinal.

Cheer up, Michigan. With this drubbing USC will likely jump Colorado and go to the Rose Bowl, where they'll push the Wolverines stool in with no lube.

Harbaugh bringing back all of Bo's traditions!

As much as I'd like to revel in that Rose Bowl tradition...don't you think the winner of Wiscy/PSU will jump tsun and go to the Rose? (Didn't think SC would jump CO until tonight though).

Highest ranked doesn't go to the rose bowl. Conference champion goes to the rose bowl. Ttun has zero chance of going. So it's wisky or the pedsters that are going to get reamed by USC with no lube.

I'm perfectly fine with this. Give Urban plenty of time to prepare for Saban and drive another dagger through the heart of the south.

That is what I have been thinking as well. It might be their way to save face for all the people whining about them not honoring conference championships.

Brady brings up what should be an obvious point but seems to be lost on many talking heads - get rid of divisions and put the two best conference records in the "championship" game.

I said that two days ago.

if clemson loses and psu wins, would it not likely be ttun to the rose?

I would rather get Bama in the Nc game than giving Saban a few weeks to prepare, but maybe Urban comes up with a better game plan with an extra week.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

I'm not impressed by Washington either...what would they be 5th or 6th best in the B1G?

3rd or 4th. They're better than psu. It's a toss-up between them and wiscy

 

[ExpatAkronite]

if clemson loses and psu wins, would it not likely be ttun to the rose?

Which would require psu getting a playoff spot. Banish the thought!

How much weight does a beatdown of VT hold? Can't be much more than our throttling of Nebraska. If Oklahoma and wiscy lose, then I could see that happening. I think we're pretty much locked in at 2

i agree that it would be hardly any different than our dismantling of nebraska, but it would still be a conference championship game during a weekend when ohio state is not on tv. and as noted already, moving up clemson and washington would appease the crowd crying that conference championships must account for something, which they should.

my opinion still stands, however, that ohio state appears better than washington while absolutely having a better resume. today's game hasn't changed that.

 

[osucollegebuck]

They obviously didn't think much of Washington and tonight didn't change that, I really think we'll be 3 which only changes our jersey color.

God damn does PJ Fleck have some kind of energy... very good speaker.

I think he sounds like a televangelist.

I don't like PJ Fleck, or people like him, one fuck.
