  1. IF Boise wants to go to the half with 40 seconds left, why throw a 5 yard pass. The only thing that can happen is a pick-6.
  2. We will have two top 25 wins and three more in the top 50. All very decisive or a blowout. Is one 8 team really that much better than another? Who cares
  3. Even if we look at just that metric in a vacuum; Miami beat who? ND. The entire SEC OOC? ND. Maybe Georgia tech and Michigan. But then maybe (we beat) USC, Navy, and Boise State. The entire point of a bloated playoff is to forgive losses from good teams, instead of having your national title hopes dashed by one loss and then later two losses. Well, we have the best losses.
  4. Again we are two days from being 12-0. No other team can say that. One of those plays was a swallowed whistle on their 4th and 11 go ahead td. https://youtube.com/shorts/UtVOuj_flqk?si=9Tg2_z4G5FSC6nXH
  5. THere may be a reason to get stuffed in a locker but Texas is not one of them.
  6. And the computers, and Vegas know that ND is better than Miami and most playoff teams Perception when they are looking for a reason to drop you.
  7. There are several things, like squeakers over losing teams.
  8. The computers say otherwise. Unless you look at a binary Win=1 Loss=0, you will notice that we only played two close games against good teams and lost each in the final 30 seconds. The other ten wins ranged from decisive to blowout.
  9. Did you miss the BCS era?
  10. A&M, UGA, Bama, Ole Miss, OU, Vandy. UT It seems to me that a BYU win means that the SEC will have to make do with 'only' four teams in the playoffs. There are ample reasons to say 'sorry' to number five.
  11. Is there any rule that forbids a conference from using the playoff committee, or something like the AP poll to determine who plays in the conference championship game?
  12. That was an unlikely and frustrating Turkey Saturday. OU, Bama, UGA we're all facing virtual elimination on the last drive of the game but the favorites went 3-0. The PC almost always follows the computers, it is their justifications in the media that are all over the map. The exception that proved the rule is FSU in 2023. The computers didn't know the QB was injured.
  13. Good wins vs bad losses vs quality losses. Computers love that last one.
  14. Also by Massey, Vanderbilt is 15th with the 21st power rating. They are just another good but not great team.
  15. Tech got the ball back with 13 seconds on their own 20 and went right back to the short passing game. At least they tried their 2nd deep throw of the game with 7 seconds left.
