Texas still has a chance to be Big 12 co-champions in a 4 way tie if we beat TCU to finish 6-3. Someone calculated the odds and it came out to 1 in 773,780
You do know this is the KPD and UTPD we are talking about here? Arresting a black athlete is their most favorite thing to do in the whole world.
Call me when Campos appear out of their jurisdiction and no one is arrested for fleeing the scene of a crime.
If a bunch of teams win out someone is getting screwed.
These would be in (like it or not):
FSU
Alabama
Oregon
Then we argue in circles:
OSU
Baylor
Miss St.
Not going to include TCU because I think Baylor gets them in head-to-head and resumes are otherwise similar. I'd give it to OSU for sure if MSU and Wisconsin win out (obviously OSU would have to beat Wisc in champ game).
The sad thing is that a couple of weird losses (combination of any Oregon, OSU, FSU, Baylor and each of those has lose-able games left on the schedule) and we get the SEC echo chamber ramped up to demand 3 spots in the playoff (top SEC teams win out and Georgia beats Alabama in SEC title game). Nightmare.

I think this year is the perfect scenario to move to a 8 team playoff.
If the committee allows Miss St in (assuming everyone wins out) I'm going to lose it.
One of: OSU, Baylor or TCU should get a shot.
My gut says TCU probably deserves it only because Baylor declined to play anyone at all in pre-conference play.

Wow, he even had the tOSU super fan in the dinner. Eleven Warriors take note
You have to be pretty careful about it when you're thinking about locking a player in a closet.

Cole Stoudt is the worst thing to happen to Clemson football since Dabo Swinney.

Is our Mod Cyan a Literature major? I'm not here to do any reading assignments.

I was indeed the villain.
It's a book that was making the rounds when I was an undergrad about how school is stupid and blah blah blah.
Thought it was appropriate.

FSU ranked 15th in his poll? seems legit. Bring back the BCS!!
Yeah I'll lose my shit if they put Miss St. in as well. I don't have a problem with downgrading teams who intentionally schedule nobody but then the SEC also needs to be held accountable for scheduling wins late in the season and only playing 7 conference games.
Them playing one less conference game than everyone else guarantees that half the teams end with one less loss than teams in comparable conferences. Total bullshit and adds to the circular logic echo chamber. "HEY WE'RE SO GOOD WE SHOULD ONLY SCHEDULE 6 SEC TEAMS BECAUSE ITS HARD YOU KNOW?!"

Baylor gets shit for playing 3 cupcakes non-conference, but we're giving A&M a pass for playing 4 cupcakes. Really all A&M has to do to become bowl eligible is to win 2 SEC games.
Baylor non-conference slate
1. Northwestern State
2. SMU
3. Buffalo
Aggy non- conference slate
1. Rice
2. Lamar
3. SMU
4. ULM
SEC plays 8 conference games btw.

Obligatory: Yahoo is never out of town.
Oh, sure. They've suspended them but have they arrested them?
All that is true but A&M isn't in the playoff debate so sort of outside the scope of what I was getting at. However, it does go to show the magnitude of this sec echo chamber - they were ranked 23 last week omfg.
Ooops on the number of conference games but the point is that it is one less than everyone else. That means half the teams in the conference have one less loss than they would otherwise and in the current system losses are more hurtful than wins are helpful so it gives the SEC yet another manufactured bullshit advantage.
Go Bruins.
COVER-UP!

Who told those other conferences to go to 9 games? Did I tell them to go to 9 games?
ACC is still at 8, too. Fat chance ever seeing that league fully commit to 9, not with Notre Dame 62.5% in the fold and the SEC rivalry games on top of that.

I agree. I think the most glaring thing is we haven't won a conference championship this century. Pelini's 'getting shit set up' grace period has long since expired.
Have we talked about Ole Bo getting up in his players face for like 30 seconds over a missed tackle?
I am firmly of the opinion that he shouldn't be allowed near college kids.
Dude is a hot head as evidenced by he and his brothers reaction to losing the Big 12 CCG to Texas.

idk, part of me like the hotheaded passion for winning, but it's too much. It needs channeled somewhere else. I know not everyone can be/have Dr. Tom level of patience and emotional control, but then he's often way too fiery for his own good.

Nebraska fans still feel like they were slighted at the end of the game, and it was somehow Texas' fault the clock operator fell asleep at the job when the ball landed out of bounds with a second left in the game. The indignation is still strong in Lincoln.

I think we should post the top 25 of graduation rates alongside the AP Top 25 in order to show that we aren't horrible people.
Sure,
But you can feel like you got hosed and take that up with the proper channels without coming back out of the locker room to scream obscenities at college kids.
I'm all for yelling at a player who made a bone headed decision or play, but a guy was out of position and whiffed on a tackle. Screaming at him the way he did for as long as he did was super uncalled for.
Posts like this let me know y'all really care.

We need a top 5 hot head football coach list
1. Pelini
2. Mangino ( allegedly )
3. Tubberville
4. ??
5 ??
Mike Stoops definitely deserves to be on that list.
Petrino?

Oh, I don't care about the shopping. I will never participate in that zoo.
I just wanted a night game. Also, now there is less of a chance of UCF fans taking over Raymond James Stadium. Harder to get away from family that early sometimes.
