  1. https://themw.com/news/2023/12/01/mountain-west-announces-football-scheduling-agreement-with-oregon-state-and-washington-state/ MWC/OSU/WSU scheduling agreement is official. They are apparently also discussing other sports. Washington St. will play 8 games against MWC schools next year, more than any MWC member! Its a one year deal for now.
  2. Well they beat teams like TCU, Baylor, Wisconsin, etc. that weren't nearly as good as they were expected to be. Not sure Oregon's win over Tech isn't their best ooc win.
  3. You aren't from around here, are you? It was called Roll left.
  4. I guess he argues that 1 in a million chance is better than 0 in a million. Its kind of irrelevant.
  5. I did. My mistake was that I used Wikipedia which listed him even though his term is expired.
  6. Committee paid off ESPN with a play-in game on Friday night.
  7. Someone mentioned the committee: Big 10 3 members ACC 2 SEC 1 Pac 12 1 Big 12 1 MWC 1 AAC 1 Other 2 (Journalist and Virginia Union) RC Slocum-interim AD at ASU, Aggie coach, not sure where you slot him. Half SEC, half Pac 12?
  8. Even Herbstreit said the only way they get in is if FSU and Texas both lose.
  9. Oregon played a lot of weak teams and beat them by big margins.
  10. There has traditionally been a lot of people with Pac and Big 10 ties. And UW and OR are future Big 10 schools.
  11. We'll pass them with a win. They are not an issue. Oregon is.
  12. Bad vibes Committee loves Oregon. Or they have just decided to put the Pac 12 in during their final year. UW-OR winner is in the playoffs. So that game doesn't matter to us, no matter how big a win we get on Saturday. We need Iowa or Louisville to win. We should stay ahead of Alabama if they win, but that's not certain.
  13. Well if they changed to the Owls, they might have a shot at the AAC! BTW, CUSA made the announcement official. Delaware joins in 2025.
  14. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-oregon-state-washington-state-finalizing-scheduling-alliance-with-mountain-west-conference-180632163.html Pac 2 not going away just yet. OSU/WSU about to finalize a scheduling alliance with the MWC, paying them $14 million to drop to 7 conference games and schedule one with OSU/WSU. Because they keep existing ooc games, Washington St. will play 8 MWC games next year while MWC members will only play 7! Seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to pretend to be in a power conference. They should have been talking to people instead of suing. Don't think anyone would begrudge them power CFP money for 2 years. And at least from public statements, it seems like the dispute with the 10 Pac is current year revenues, which the WSU president previously said HAD to be distributed ratably.
  15. They should have to change their mascot if they want to be in FBS. Blue Hens??? That's sounds like a women's lacrosse team!
  16. Except of course the committee talks about how it is a factor, whether you do or not. So the playoff ratings should be random from week to week?
  17. I guess you don't do math. The #1 has only won 3 out of 9 years and those were overwhelming teams. The #4 has won 2 out of 9. Seeding has been pretty poor. When Alvarez and Osborne were on the committee, #1 seed never won.
  18. They were kept out because Ohio St. had name brand and Wisconsin forgot to show up for the Big 10 ccg. TCU was sitting in 3rd, won 55-3 over Iowa St. and got jumped by both FSU and Ohio St.
  19. Take the top 3 receivers off any other team and see what happens.
  20. Their reasoning varies week to week. You can't justify some of their decisions. Maybe they just outsource their decisions to 247. Who has the best recruiting class, tempered by the number of wins and losses. The #1 team is only 10-6 and that's just because UGA, LSU and Alabama have been so dominant lately. #1 was 3-5 in the first 5 years. They've only won 3 of the 9 years. LSU in 2019 was the first #1 seed to win. #2 started better, winning 3 of the first 5, but overall they are just 7-6. #3 is 6-8 with Georgia being the only one who won it all. #4 has won twice. They are 4-7 and have lost the last 5 years in the first round. Of course OU skews the stats. #4s other than OU are 4-4.
  21. Refs called 3 UGA TDs back and overruled a catch that would have lead to a 4th. There were a couple of replays that overturned really bad calls. Lead ref seemed really upset that those got overruled. Georgia had a starting OL and their top 3 receivers out. Kirby was just trying to stay healthy. Play calling was very vanilla. He wasn't going to show Alabama anything. It was still a 15 point lead until Tech scored with about 5 minutes left to make it 8.
  22. If Michigan loses there are very few scenarios where they get in. Mandel is mostly fos these days.
  23. Agree. I thought the committee would have been better, but it has been far worse. When Alvarez and Osborne were on it was the worst. Committee members said they deferred to the coaches. And it was two 3 yards and a cloud of dust coaches who didn't respect the new offenses. TCU should have been in 2014. Its group dynamics. Groups often get swayed by the most opinionated and they take over. At least with the polls, the people are responding independently. I'll be glad when all they do is pick 6 or 7 and the champs all get in. A #10/11/12 isn't getting badly screwed if they miss it.
  24. Oregon played the bottom 6 in the Pac and beat up on them. You have to look at who they played, not which conference. And Sagarin, for one, shows the Big 12 as the 2nd strongest conference.
