What's funny is you would be saying the same thing we are if you were in our position. I am a little humored at how much you respond to these things. You are no. 1, act like you've been there before.
He could be scared of Georgia ... seems rational. Georgia is a good team in the SEC ... I hate to say it, but the SEC is by far the best Conference. No gets outta there with some wounds. Oregon has had a relatively easy schedule, and to win the Championship, you gonna have to run a tough Gauntlet.
I thought the byes were for the 4 P4 conference champs?
The B1G wouldn't be littered in the top 8 teams if eye test was the biggest factor. I'm a huge B1G fan, but we are so far behind the SEC this year, it isn't even funny.
Nope. There's even a remote possibility the bigxii gets shut out of the playoffs this year
Yeah. Pathetic. Texas isn't even deserving of a top 10. Best win is in Nashville. When they hosted......HOSTED a real team, they got destroyed.
How? Which other G5 conference would have a champion ranked higher?
Look at Ewers stats against Arky.
I like Lane, but Bok, Bok, Bok!
The Big 12 wouldn't deserve a spot if that happens. Not sure they'd deserve one if ASU or Colorado won the CCG either. Like the others I've ragged on her about not beating a ranked team (yet), they shouldn't be given a pass for that either. Then again, none of them are ranked in the top 10.
Oh, Iowa State could finish 11-2 and win the Big XII with a win @ Iowa from the B1G in their back pocket. They would definitely deserve a spot in a 12 team Playoff even if it was as the #12 seed. I understand that Boise State and Army if they win out are good teams, but neither conference is as good or deep as the Big XII. Not even close. Not saying that is going to happen. The Cyclones are actually more likely to lose out than win out IMO. However, if ISU does go 11-2, wins the Big XII and does not make the CFP, that's just the way it is. Might as well just automatically go to an SEC-B1G circle jerk, but the B1G would not like that in practice.
I hope you are right. The Big 12 has just looked poor this year from the games I've seen. Not bad, just not as good as usual and that isn't because OU and Texas left. That said, the parity makes for more good close games than other conferences.
I guess we will find out! I'd love to test the theory to find out if an 11-2 Big XII Champion Iowa State makes the CFP or not. I guess they would wind up in the Alamo Bowl if they don't make the cut. More to my point though is that the Big XII looks a hell of lot better than the MWC and the AAC. There is no depth in either of those conferences like there is in the Big XII. I have no issue with Boise State and Army if they win out though as individual teams. Tulane would be irksome though as a 2 loss team in a weaker conference that lost to Big XII Kansas State (which ISU will have to beat to win the Big XII).
