2018 Week 13 CFB Open Thread

[AuTX Buckeye]

I think 1-loss OU makes it easy... they get Alumnus status and go.
A 2-loss OU makes things interesting; and they're still in the discussion b/c they're one of those teams that get a freebie.

2 Loss OU means OU is sitting out the Big Xii conf champ game... they ain’t makin it

How does anyone watch this game and think these teams can win anything outside BXII?

 

[Jake]

It's a longer game than just this year.

I really hope the Group of 5 bands together into some type of anti-trust lawsuit. That's probably the shortest way to it. The other path is for the conferences who are routinely getting shut out to make noises about forming their own coalition. Fox has the money to do just that as a TV network.

I'd be cool with all of that. I just disagree on the likelihood of it happening.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Jesus. I genuinely thought we had the worst D in the history of elite programs, but holy fuck was I wrong.

Not going to happen. NCAA would swing the hammer if anyone goes for the lawyers.

Hope for, DEMAND, expansion to 6 or 8, but there'll be no mutiny.

Lol Oklahoma D

It feels like this is WVUs thought process...

1. Lets do weird shit on first and second down.

2. If that fails then no worries we will score on 3rd and 10.

 

[Jake]

3rd and 10m..

75 yard TD lol lol lol lol

Lol Oklahoma D

I flip away for 2 minutes and WVU answers the TD? Big XII football.

Ok - but who are they getting in over? Would we see a @cincibuck special and NoD get domered in? They wouldn't get in over UGA or Clemson but would they get picked over 1-loss Bama?

See what I'm saying? Let the fun begin - this isn't just something that will happen if there is chaos this year, this is a multi-year thing where conferences get habitually shut out for conferences with TV deals that happen to coincide with the financial interest of the TV network that has the CFP.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

OU receiver should've been tackled for a short gain. But it's the Big XII so it's a 45 yard TD.

Am I the only one who saw the WR blocking before the pass was thrown on that one?

 

[Jake]

Not impressed with this Minshew dude at all.

Worse 3rd and 10 D in this game is laughable. what's the point of trying on the first 2 downs if you can go for 30+ everytime on third and long

Lol prescient
