Yeah... Saturdays used to be glorious here... as many as 4 TVs running at the same time, noon to midnight.... now? I watch Ohio State and that's about it. I mean, I guess I've watched a handful of non OSU games this year... but.. nothing near like I used to do.
None of it matters anymore...once the network that runs the playoff became associated with a specific conference, it ceased being a sport and became sports entertainment
Yes I know but the point this year we were hanging on waiting for the other shoe to drop. If we move our buy one week earlier and replace purdue with the patsy and move it to the place of the Maryland game like SEC. Do you think even if we played like we did at Purdue we wouldn't have beat Akron? Yet the SEC is never penalized for doing this. So their are two options do what they do or change the NCAA rules so they can't. The first is far more likely to happen then the later.
Oklahoma got skull fucked by Clemson in 2015 and that didn't seem to matter.
Yet they never punish OU for continually choking. They talk out of both sides of their ass. Strength of schedule matters but losing 2 of 3 top games when the other teams only have one loss and are conference champs doesn't. Conference championships matter to put one team that was comparable above another but not to the other team. Also apparently Best wins mattered in 2014 and 2016 but not any other year. Alll the while ESPN lobs the committee softballs cause it fits their narrative and they don't want to reveal the committee as a farce or sham it really is.
