  1. This. The game thread went to shit once it became clear Indiana was going to win and acting like it was a total beating. OSU looked like the better team at 8-9 of 11 positions, but one where Indiana was clearly better was QB. If OSU hits the field goal and it goes to OT, they likely win because BoJack was tearing Indiana up at that point in the game.
  2. Game was even worse than the scoreboard, but Oregon was basically missing their 2-deep at WR, and I haven't followed them enough to know who is healthy now. The other two teams that could likely challenge the whole thing were left out.
  3. Time for actual live practice that isn't install or game prep is scarce in college. It's basically only spring practice and most of the extra bowl practice is like a mini-spring. For underclassmen who need help with technique and practice reps, it's pretty huge. Flood can probably teach our guards to run block with that amount of time.
  4. Not only that, but the average voter can't even really do the eye test well. All they know is final score.
  5. This is actually false. The BCS NY6 games had more viewers than the playoff games do. But there's more games overall, so 🤷
  6. But B1G 3rd place Oregon might have it even easier.
  7. Bear in mind there are only 67 Power 4 teams. You can play a literal G5 schedule and be in.
  8. Why play two when you can play 1?
  9. In fact, 1-4 didn't win a single game.
  10. If true, it's not just evidence that this committee is dumb, this is plain corruption.
  11. Oregon JMU spread is going wild.
  12. Which of those games should I watch to convince me ND is a playoff team?
  13. Would we be favored over all the first-round teams? Oregon, maybe not?
  14. We already seen this game this year and they didn't.
  15. Miami has a run defense.
  16. They ended up putting the two that have the worst losses in. Florida doesn't matter.
  17. Drumrolll......
  18. Psychology of colors is messing with the eye test.
  19. Georgia at 3 is a surprise.
  20. Bama in is apparently already leaked.
  21. Neither team has a game that you can tell a friend to go watch to show that they are a top 10 team.
  22. Yes. All BCS models did. You could only consider W-L, no scores and no stats, which just isn't enough.
  23. They either need to give the committee a stricter structure or just use computer models. The weekly rankings are supposed to give a good sense of where you stand, but they've moved idle teams and teams without a notable outcome in pretty much every week this year. No matter whether you think we are done or not, we are open in sportsbooks, which means enough people think idle Texas could be swapped with another idle team that it is a betting prop. The big issue with computer models is that it is really hard to exclude "run up the score" stats in them and have good output. And most modelers don't really understand football. They just have generic modified Elo's or stat regression's that they could apply to any sport or game. These aren't bad, but they aren't good either. We all see the headscratchers that Sagarin puts out at times. And his BCS-qualified model was even worse.
  24. The team that deserved the spot more wasn't talked about at all though (Ole Miss).
