Beat Purdue and we were in. I think Clemson will see the same thing as well, if they would've lost in the season to a Syracuse or UNC, then they'd be in the same position as us. But the ACC is just so bad that an 18yo can win that conference, and they're the only team in the conference with a solid pulse.

The "Beat Purdue" shit can stop. Complaining about this bullshit selection method has nothing to do with losing to Purdue. Fine....we should have beat Purdue. That doesn't mean it's OK to pull this bullshit with ND and UGA.

 

[dragurd]

you know better than that.

it would have been “they won their conf, but it was against Purdue, not TEXAS!!!!!”

Of course they were already talking about out of both sides of their ass how Oklahoma was winning 59-56 was grit and their D made some great plays. They made maybe 10 plays the whole game sure committtee

I think it’s funny the commentators keep mentioning Oklahoma avenging their only loss and beating everyone on their schedule as a positive for Okie.

Yeah give OSU a chance to avenge their loss to Purdue and see what happens. Does that cancel out the loss?

 

[BUCKINGFRONCO]

From a non partisan standpoint when are these conference commissars going to get this system fixed. It is complete bullshit for major conferences to continually be snubbed. Equally bullshit for a team like UCF to not get a shot. A team wins out two years running and not get shot at a national championship? If the B1G and other power conferences cared for nothing more than money then they have a vested interest in getting this fixed. I don’t think we deserved or were top 4 caliber this year, but this playoff system is fucking broke!

Ok, so OSU has to go undefeated to jump every other one loss team? And you're lying to yourself thinking Clemson would've been in the same spot. Dabo has been elected as the heir apparent to Saban and gets SEC treatment going forward.

I hope Georgia loses their bowl game by 50

Oklahoma's offense is incredible no mention of Ohio State's offense being #2 you know the committee needs to go cause clearly they are just ESPN's bitch at this point

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Agree. Go back to 8 and start scheduling Florida A&M and Citadel.

Explain how this keeps you from shitting the bed to mediocre conference foes like Iowa and Purdue. The fact we had nine conference games and three OOC games (and that we played TCU instead of Youngstown State) had zero to do with us stepping on our dicks at Purdue (or at Iowa last year).

And, putting UGA in at 5 has nothing to do with what they think of UGA. They needed a buffer so they could say with a straight face that the OU/OSU decision wasn't close. That's all it is. They don't honestly think their criteria puts UGA 5th.

UGA and tOSU at 5/6:
doesnt really matter which is 5 and which is 6

tOSU is going to Rose either way
UGA is going to Sugar either way

putting them in this order gives them something to talk about during this 43 hour long selection show.

Jim Delany needs to stop putting the Big Ten on an uneven playing field. ACC and SEC only play 8 conference games and schedule cupcakes in the non-conference. The B1G East is tough enough as it is to have to also deal with a tough out of conference schedule and playing multiple Big Ten games on the road at night

 

[Gatorubet]

Rose Bowl contract won’t allow them to donthat

Sugar as well.

Agree. Go back to 8 and start scheduling Florida A&M and Citadel.

This doesn't work either because, the moment OSU has a weaker schedule than a SEC team, all of a sudden strength of schedule is going to matter again. What do you think happens when a 1-loss Alabama non-champion with a top 10 SOS and more ranked wins has to go up against a 1-loss B1G Champion Ohio State team with the 59th SOS? Them putting Georgia ahead of OSU spells that out. This also tells me Alabama is getting in last year even if Ohio State had one-loss.

ScUM Ga Sugar Bowl?

Easy it's entirely possible we don't play Iowa last year or purdue this year with that schedule. One lesschance to shit the bed against a mediocre team
