You really don't want to hammer home the point that your conference doesn't have its poo poo together (One TRUE Champion!... lol j/k) and that any decision the committee makes is going to be wrong (which it will be inherently). big 12 is getting left out, time to get bowlsby and everyone else in the big 12 fired so we can have a well perceived conference next year even though we're the best in the nation already

I like TCU better just cause I watched a TCU game this season and have an affinity for purple. But there seems to be no TCU fans here and a lot of Baylor fans so maybe I like Baylor better.

Rabid Snake posted:I can't believe you're rooting for Oregon as a WSU fan. Why not? My impression has always been that WSU and Oregon have like the lowest hostility level of any of the NW schools because they're not in-state rivals and have no contentious history (because both have been poo poo historically). Plus Oregon has stomped on UW for a decade now, and hating the Huskies with a passion is something WSU and Oregon fans can come together in agreement about. It just comes down to where you fall on conference/regional solidarity vs. regional/conference hate. Speaking for myself I always root for WSU and Oregon State as long as it doesn't disadvantage Oregon. gently caress the smug, perfidious Huskies forever though (1949 Rose Bowl betrayal never forget).

You comparing it to a year where an entire conference was irrelevant is a terrible way to make your point. Also, lol how did you make that point by comparing a year where TCU were co champs with Baylor to a year where TCU was co champs with Baylor. In neither year were either team deserving of a national title. Mahoning fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Dec 7, 2014 |

I love that Georgia Tech scored that last TD just so that FSU lost against the spread again. I would have made quite a bit of money betting against FSU all year like I would have if I knew a bookie.

Baylor convincingly beat a far better team than Ohio State did tonight. There is no remotely sane argument that Ohio State has a better resume than either TCU or Baylor. Also TCU was #3 at the beginning of the day but apparently winning a game by 50 points gets you dropped 2-3 spots.

Ok, so explain Ohio State losing to a bad, bad .500 Virginia Tech team and TCU losing on the road by 3 points to you know, the other team in this whole debate? Heading into this week TCU had the #45 SOS and Ohio State had the #54 SOS so it isn't that. Edit: Not to mention TCU beat Minnesota 30-7 and Ohio State squeaked by them 31-24 so it isn't even that!

Still, playing a FBS team yet having a higher Strength of Schedule is incredibly damning for Ohio State. Edit 2: Ohio State's out of conference: 6-5 Navy 6-6 Virginia Tech 2-9 Kent State (Who *LOST* to a FBS team) 9-3 Cincinnati in the American Conference Am I...supposed to be impressed by this?

Also TCU was #3 at the beginning of the day but apparently winning a game by 50 points gets you dropped 2-3 spots. Yea there is. You use unadjusted W/L SOS which will give you Ohio State as having a stronger SOS than TCU and Baylor, which is what I think they are doing. Then from there you discount the VT loss as a special circumstances loss that is not indicative of the team Ohio State has grown to be, and count Michigan State as one of the best wins of the season. The trick is using "ranked wins" and unadjusted W/L SOS, by those metrics wins over Wisconsin and Michigan State are better than wins over LSU and Mississippi State, for example.
