TCU in conference play:

Points for: 428
Points against: 223
Average margin per game: 22.7 points

TCU did some major asskicking this year.

OSU lost to Virginia Tech by two touchdowns.

Ohio State beat 3 teams that finished in the AP Top 5. TCU didn't beat a single team in the top 15.

Two of those teams were during the playoffs they should have gotten into in the first place.

Haha I said from the very beginning that all it does is shift the bitching from the 3rd and 4th ranked teams to the 5th and 6th. Or the 9th and 10th. And so on.

It really doesn't help that the 4 seed won the first ever playoff either.

It also doesn't help that the 3rd ranked team was clearly there on luck and little else, and the 4th ranked team lost to a team that ended the season with a losing record.

There is seriously no argument for taking Ohio State out of the CFP that doesn't also discount TCU via their loss to Baylor.

There were co-champions when K-State and OU ended with the same conference record. K-State got the Fiesta Bowl automatic bid because of their head to head victory with OU.

So OSU beat #2, #4, #5 and #13. Baylor beat #3. TCU beat..........oops. #17 in a bowl game?

Even if you discount bowl season, then OSU has wins over #4 and #13, Baylor keeps its #3 win and TCU still beat no one in the top 25 at seasons end. Not sure the argument for TCU over OSU makes much sense, but what do I know

Congratulations to Joe Paterno on allowing the rape of children to happen for years and to not even get a slap on the wrist. The system is good and just.

He's loving dead and died while everyone still hated him. His last memory of his legacy was coal black, and he went to the grave knowing that the only thing anyone would ever remember him as is the guy who did nothing to stop child molestation.








Yeah, totally a slap on the wrist.

Oh, a really old man died. Yes, that's some serious punishment for letting children continually get raped.

I feel the need to point out that I'm not defending him or anything. It was loving disgusting.

But the idea that because his wins are being reinstated after he's been dead for a year and change makes it 'just a slap on the wrist' is really some revisionist history there.

K-State @ Vandy in '17, return in '20. I guess one of those games might hypothetically be interesting.

Is there a post-Snyder plan in place or will they be on the market like everyone else?

I'm reasonably sure Snyder is going to want his kid (currently K-State's special teams coach, in addition to playing on the team in the 90's) to step up to the plate. At least, he's the guy I'd be least upset with, since he knows the system inside and out from both sides of the ball.

I know UK is pretty low on the pecking order in football but I still feel like I should object to a proposed system that cuts us off from three of the four conference opponents we've played more than fifty games against.

"Cuts you off" in the sense that you only play them every other year instead of every year.

I don't understand freshman ineligibility. Do they think it's going to make guys more likely to go to class if they're not playing? The one and done phenomenon is only an issue is basketball, and only effects a tiny percentage of players in that case.

It's probably also physically safer for them to be able to spend a year in the system, practicing against other college-caliber players and spending time in the gym/weight room.

I'm kinda for it. I like the idea of "Five for five" better.

If a player is at a point where you fear for their safety on the field, I don't think they're going to see much action as a true freshman as it is.

Good job missing the forest for trees. Any true freshman regardless of athletic ability would benefit from a year spent training and conditioning. These kids are still developing, and injuries can happen to anyone.
