The only people who would care is the people affiliated with Oklahoma and Ohio State. Nobody else is going to care that much. Look at last year. That proved to the playoff committee that they could get away with putting 2 SEC teams in.
The Little10 almost added Cinci, UCF, USF, Tulane, Rice because fucking Baylor got left out the first year when 4 undisputed Conference Champions went.
What would happen if they get left out for Notre Dame, ACC, and 2 SEC ?
Nah, they care. They care a lot.
Allow me to throw a positive spin out there;
They left tsun at #7 and PSU at #12. Next opponent is #21 NU
Texas is only #14
Could be they have seen how inconsistent OSU is this year and are simply waiting for them to show they can do it twice before they jump them over OU based on the better wins.
Just a thought
I mean, I'm waiting to see which team shows up.
But the SEC rankings are beyond ridiculous... and as crazy as those are, Clemson at #2 with only a victory of #20 Syracuse... and their opponent this week is unranked
Look folks we’re only getting in if OU loses and Gawja loses big (20+ given Bama’s margin of victory this year). Thats it. We could beat the Nerds 80-0 and OU wins and Gawja loses OU is in. We need OU to lose and Gawja to loss big. Anything less we’re off to Pasadena and HD southern cal
Like for the HD ("technicolor") ref.
The only goalposts are "best four teams", no?
Not really. This debate has been had here several times... is it to find the best 4 teams? Or to find the 1, singular, best team? Sometimes those 2 things align; but as we saw last year... it's not a given. A 3rd place team cannot be "the" best team... but given the chance, anyone can get hot and win a 2 round tournament.
I don't know about that. I think they've been pretty firm in their SEC first, ACC second and then somebody else if we can't avoid it standard.
You mean SEC first, second, third, fourth, and tenth?
Next year's strength of schedule will be worse and that lies at the feet of the Athletic director.
I blame TCU being gutless cowards and backing out. Typical Texans; all hat no cattle.
Whose idea was it to strike a deal that gave TCU the option of backing out? That's his point.
There wasn't an "option". Short of cloning Sherman you can't hold a gun to their head.
They're chickenshits... not much more to be said about it.
They've already turned around and scheduled a home and away with Purdue. I hope Rondale Moore makes them regret it.
