Got it ... I guess the BCS formula weighs body of work over H2H. As I said, it would be embarrassing to have UGA in before OM today, but what about TX over UGA when UGA has the H2H and the better body of work by a long shot?
That is wild ... you guys could be from 2 to out. I'd love to see Auburn, OU, Vandy, and USCjr be spoilers over the next few weeks. god, if we beat UTjr and then lost to the Nerds to knock us out we'll never hear the end of it, LOL.
Deciding the best resume among Penn State, Texas, Indiana and Miami right now is like deciding which midget is the tallest. I think Miami is the only one with a win over a CFP ranked team. #19 Louisville. At least Texas and Indiana will probably have an opportunity to beat a ranked team. Penn State doesn't have another opportunity. They will end the year without a ranked win unless something wacky happens. Miami will only have an opportunity for a ranked win if they make it to the CCG.
Dead on ... who the hell knows?
I think this sets up for a real entertaining playoff.
It really does because who knows ... watch someone like Ole Miss, who would have been effectively been blocked by Bama or UGA or LSU win the damn thing. It will be wild.
Yep, get on a roll, get a break here and there, avoid injuries and wallah. Natty.
It's funny, he did the same in high school. He lead his team that had never even been to the finals to the Florida Championship in 7A, the highest level there is. Then he lost all the talent around him and had a bad senior year.
I think it fair to say there isn’t a dominant team this year. It’s really about looking at ceilings and floors of teams. A couple weeks ago I said the NC might be decided like NHL playoffs, just substitute QB for goalie. I have no doubt that if Texas gets good Quinn, they are one of the best teams in the country. I can’t tell you when that guy will show up. Dawggy can say the exact same thing about Beck. This is one of the worst college QB classes I can remember. Lot of top teams are trotting out some really inconsistent QBs. That means they can lose to any top 20 team
Can't believe the timing of your post. Just this evening at dinner a friend and I were talking about how the QB play in the Big 12 has gone in the crapper. While QBs weren't always surrounded by great talent, the Big 12 QB play was always pretty damn good. Now, there isn't one QB in the conference I would consider pretty damn good. Bunch of mediocre or worse. Never thought about it being the same nationally, but your post got me to thinking it may well be.
Yeah, my son is only 17. He is more of an NFL fan. He has really kept up with college football this season. He made the comment last night about how weak this QB class is.
I chose to take a TE last in my NFL league because I thought Bowers would be available late...10 team league where almost nobody has taken a 2nd TE over the years. I got him with the 3rd pick in the last round and so all my later rounds got upgraded. Glad to have him on my team for a change...and 10 points ahead of Kelce in 2nd place for TE's is sweet.
I think that's a pretty good summary. If you are the SMU or BYU coach, you are talking losses. If you are the SEC, you are talking body of work and SOS. The one thing you can't do is to simply objectively look at the record. You just can't. But I get the difficult situation the committee is in.
Yes, you can!
