After seeing the story they had on Tua yesterday, I don’t really thing ESPN cares about that stuff. They portrayed it as  loving father wanted the best for his child.

ESPN doesn't care but the committee does.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10098]

I can't see committee saying OSU's win over NW is better than a OU win over TX. Everything prior to yesterday's games was supposed to already be factored into their rankings that had OU ahead of OSU.

Seriously?

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

I woke up this morning and realized something.

College football is stupid. It makes no sense.




Now fight me.

Putting UGA at 3, would pretty much ensure the CFP expands in the next 2 years:

Tim Tebow had a double breasted vest on.  He forfeited any bit of credibility he had with that.

Are you poor?

[mdleast 8238]

It’s strange how last night the discussion was all OU vs Georgia and now there is such a “push” to put Ohio State in the mix. The pundits I’ve watched/read are all over the map and ESPN stats seem to be pushing Ohio State now:

[DonnyKerabatsos 86]

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. Georgia

4. Oklahoma

 

This is what ESPN wants today.

Why elevate Notre Dame who has a television contract with a rival network, and doesnt participate in a conference? They should be told "sorry, join a conference or drop NBC"

Let’s look at losses, too. Purdue? Gtfo

[mdmost 42696]

Yes, convenient to leave out losses since that kills tOSU and Georgia.

He's a fucking idiot. Uga got smoked by LSU. a two loss conference runner up shouldn't be rewarded.

[triplelonghorn 27]

Ohio State has a huge national following

I watch this kids show with my daughter and there's a recurring character who breaks the law to raise money for her daughter (currently a baby) to go to tOSU.

Not even sure why we are talking about Georgia, they aren't getting in. The better question is how is the committee going to move Oklahoma over an undefeated team so Bama doesn't have to play them first? 

Exactly. Have to give them credit (SEC)

they have managed to turn Georgia into world beaters for wins over Kentucky, Missouri and Florida. All shit teams. How the narrative these wins are better than ND (Michigan-best of all, Syracuse and even USC who would be favored over KU and MU). It’s fucking maddening but brilliant. The blue print works. Florida, Kentucky, Missouri all top 25 for no reason

I used to really like Herbstreit. It's going to be impossible to watch him, much less take him seriously, after this. 

[ChiTownDoc 21071]

LMAO.  Not putting the 29 point loss against Purdue, on the graphic trying to vet out who deserves what, is blasphemy.  ESPN has no shame.  They market to the idiots and know the rest of us will tune in anyway.  I’ve switched to FS1 except for live events.  Fuck ESPN.  

[ChickenSandwich 9795]

Fairly simple. 

Big 10 and SEC Teir 1 contracts with ABC/ESPN

FOX has the Big 12. 

[Vic Mackey 46856]

[mdmost 42696]

The Big 12 Championship was on ABC/ESPN. This is more about pushing controversy and getting people to tune in. 29 point loss to Purdue.

This. I can't put a finger on exactly when, but he went from a solid, professional analyst to the douchey shill we know today. Maybe he has just gotten comfortable at ESPN, like a professor hitting tenure and not giving a fuck. Maybe he's getting talking points from his bosses. Maybe he's slipped into fan mode as the landscape of college football has changed so much over the past decade. Whatever it is, it's disappointing. I think he still is a good color guy on games that don't involve Ohio State, but otherwise it's tough to watch him.

Notre Dame - 1st tier NBC & ABC*ESPN/ 3rd tier ESPN

XII - 1st tier ABC*ESPN & FOX*FS1/ 3rd tier (individual contracts as deemed negotiable by school)

B1G - 1st tier ABC*ESPN & FOX*FS1/ 3rd tier FOX 

SEC - 1st tier CBS & ABC*ESPN/ 3rd tier ESPN

[ChickenSandwich 9795]

Didn’t Fix have first pick on par with ABC and carried a majority of Big 12 prime time games this season vs ABC?

[mdmost 42696]

They each get a set of games to pick at the beginning of the season. Fox chose tOSU Michigan. ABC picked USC@Texas. Fox picked Texas OU. After that it's based on how the teams do.

Uga shouldn't be in the conversation based on the dumbest play call of the year.... and getting boatraced by mighty LSU.

[VABuckeye 2472]

First things first.  I believe that Purdue counts Ohio State out.  It's too big of a blemish.

Until there's some kind of set criteria the SEC will always have a better chance to get two teams in.  Every conference should have the same basic criteria and that should start with 9 conference games.  The SEC gets extra wins late in the season while every other conference is at the end of the season grind.  If the B1G played 8 conference games Purdue doesn't happen as the two teams wouldn't have played.  While every other P5 team is playing an extra P5 team in conference every season the SEC plays their sacrificial extra FCS team and heals up for rivalry week.  They're gaming the system and there is no repercussion for what they're doing.  They are currently guaranteed a playoff spot and that extra creampuff game helps them tremendously.

"well a 1 loss runner up was rewarded last year... whats one more SEC loss even mean? They can't help they had to play the mighty Bama while OU and Ohio State played scrubs all year" - aggy/PAWWLL

Joel Klatt called out the CFP's artificial elevation of all things SEC. He laughed about how Florida, LSU and Kentucky being ridiculously high along with Mizzou even being in the CFP. Sadly they can't stipulate a conference championship as criteria because that automatically excludes Notre Dame. 

[Dbeasy 14931]

I’m hopeful that bowl season will include mediocre showings by SEC and B1G teams and a continued recognition that the Big 12 offenses are changing the game. Texas beating Georgia, while difficult, would be huge, if they play.

[NowThis 931]

it's too bad OK State lost Bedlam on a missed XP (iirc). The CFP world would have been so different today.

Here’s a brilliant idea. The conference championship game is essentially the first round of the playoffs. You lose, you’re out. No consideration beyond that should be given.

[VABuckeye 2472]

Add in the West Virginia receiver who decided it's ok to block the Oklahoma player into the stands while his teammate was running to the 1 yard line.  The next play was the Grier fumble that was returned for a TD.  Instead of being up WVU was down 10 and it was effectively ballgame.

[UTEX_ME 4752]

OU got a lot of breaks in conference play (we seemed to get everyone's best for 4 quarters). Without Murray they could easily be a 6-6 team. 

[NowThis 931]

Texas GA and OU-Bama --- the 2 best of Big12 vs. 2 best of SEC. That should settle matters.

Oklahoma 4 in this week AP Poll 

[Phoenix 65]

The conference championship games in the current model should be acting as the first round of the playoff. In essence Georgia lost the first round of the playoff.
