Oklahoma State has won two straight games on shoddy officiating in their favor. T. Boone buying some games.

I just think Tech was exhausted after the past two games. That was a really emotional win and excruciating loss, and I'd expect any team/ staff, especially one so young and ailing, to not risk too much.

I want a round-robin TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma where they all trade beating each other so each has at least 1 loss, each by such an even point spread that the committee ops to keep all 3 out. If the comittee can also keep the ACC out that would be great too, tia.

Scarf posted:Fun fact: Clemson is now the 5th current FBS team with a winning record over Notre Dame (with a minimum of 3 games played). If we'd had another minute on the clock back in '93 we'd be 7-1 against them.  Then again, we wouldn't have gotten Lou Holtz's snivelling crybaby press conference a few weeks later and we still won the championship so I guess it all evens out.

Spiritus Nox posted:Having two weeks of ISU and @Kansas should be helpful on that front, give players some time to get healthy or settle into bigger roles, as needed. I don't think Kliff calls as many trick plays as people think he does. That's one of the reasons I think his trick plays are so dangerous: he calls them at the very perfect time. I think Webb went in because Pat was pressing too much and it was a good opportunity to get some time for some backups against the top of the top competition. Leave Mahomes in there and he's going to to something silly and get himself hurt. I think it was good for him to sit for a bit, watch Webb work, and realize that he doesn't have to press and go for the home run on every play. I do wish we had kicked a few field goals when we were down big and had 4th down and long. Our kickers need work too. I was a little surprised that Briles left Russell and Linwood and the starting defense in the game for so long. Though I can understand it a bit: how they wound up with Stidham was suuuuper shady.

I think it's just a few more weeks before Beamer has to hang it up. We aren't going to win many more games this year (I somehow wouldn't be shocked to see us only win like 1 or 2 more games), and after his statements at the end of last season with Whit, I just don't see how he can justify hanging around. He said this bullshit wasn't good enough and it sure as hell isn't. Bring on something new. Vols gotta learn how to close, maybe find an OC that isn't ancient. They clearly have enough raw talent to play with just about anyone, but they don't seem to have the right spirit or attitude in the 2nd half. I dunno feels like missing intangibles.

That all makes sense, though I still think I might have tried at least one onside kick in the 2nd or 3rd quarters when Tech still had an outside shot of Baylor starting to make mistakes on offense that might have let Tech back in - though my football resume ain't exactly as good as Kingsbury's, so whatever. As for Linwood, I think part of that was Briles wanting the starters to work on burning clock with the running game after failing to do so in games like the Cotton Bowl last year. I'm not sure how successful I'd say they were, though - felt like we had two three and outs just running up the gut.

We probably would have lost that game had the Cougs not Coug'd it on that fake punt, and we're probably going to get pasted by Utah next week, but 5-0 is 5-0. Now we only need one of Oregon, Oregon State, or Arizona State to go bowling and 8 wins suddenly looks like not complete madness. But now that Stanford appears to have righted itself winning back the Ax is likely a pipe dream, oh well.

Next time I'm just waiting until Monday morning when I have two monitors rather than trying to do this on a laptop. So hopefully I didn't miss any teams this time. There are 20 undefeated teams left. Additionally, there are 8 teams that have one loss but are ranked by the AP and have enough left on their schedule that they could end up in the top 4 if they win out: ACC: Florida State (4-0), Clemson (4-0) Big XII: TCU (5-0), Oklahoma State (5-0), Baylor (4-0), Oklahoma (4-0) Big Ten: Ohio State (5-0), Michigan State (5-0), Northwestern (5-0), Iowa (5-0), Michigan (4-1) Pac-12: Cal (5-0), Utah (5-0), Stanford (4-1), USC (5-1), UCLA (4-1) SEC: Florida (5-0), Texas A&M (5-0), LSU (4-0) , Alabama (4-1), Ole Miss (4-1), Georgia (4-1) Other: Temple (4-0), Memphis (5-0), Navy (4-0), Houston (4-0), Toledo (4-0), Notre Dame (4-1) 28 teams left alive for the playoffs. There are some other 1 loss teams that could conceivably make a run due to having a bunch of ranked teams on their schedule. But for the sake of simplicity I'm going to assume those teams have at least one more loss coming before December and not count them. Only three games this weekend between that group of teams: Northwestern @ Michigan Notre Dame @ Navy Cal @ Utah 5 or 6 games the week after (depending on the outcome of the Notre Dame game plus losing for sure one of Michigan/Northwestern). Obviously some of these teams could lose in Week 6 and take themselves out of consideration without getting this far: Memphis @ Ole Miss USC @ Notre Dame Michigan State @ Michigan Iowa @ Northwestern UCLA @ Stanford Florida @ LSU Alabama @ Texas A&M Memphis beating Ole Miss would be the greatest thing and needs to happen.

Even the worst call generally at least has some level of judgement involved and at the end of the day no ref is going to overturn a judgement call after the fact. The only call in Big XII history I can think of that was equally just straight up wrong is when Kansas shot a three pointer between free throws in a game against Iowa State and the refs allowed it to stand. That call was "Snyder should have just refused to take the field until it was fixed" levels of wrong.

And it didn't even decide the outcome of the game. It was a 3rd down play and K State gave up a 25 yard completion the very next snap. Why is this such an injustice? e: Whats sad is that Mason Rudolph went 10/14 on passes on 3rd and 4th downs, all resulting in 1st down conversions. But no one will remember that, just refs!
