The Michigan one is great with Harbaugh being such a baby about the pink locker room.

Yates posted:I think in this situation Ohio State would go in over Wisconsin. If Penn State would beat Wisconsin I think Penn State makes it in instead of Ohio State. I really think as long as Louisville and Clemson keep winning, Wisconsin has to beat Michigan in the Big Ten title game to get in. If Lousiville or Clemson ends up with 2 losses then I could see both Wisconsin and Ohio State making it in this situation. I just don't see the committee leaving out a conference champ in favor of another team in that same conference. That would be a huge gently caress you to the conferences and would send a signal that conference races and upsets don't matter. Which wouldn't be a good message for college football.

THey are in the same conference and it's not like Wyoming is some conference power The moon pole doesn't care about conference or historical perception, only that Wyoming was 7-2 with a positive turnover margin and a decent strength of schedule with a win over Boise, whereas UNLV was 3-6 with a weak schedule and a defense that gave up 35 points a game.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Sean White now says he probably should've been more honest with the coaches about his injury; Lashlee's comments seem to say they didn't fully grasp how useless his arm was and felt like he was just on a cold streak. I'm pretty sure they just waited too long and if Georgia hadn't burned so much clock on their last drive Franklin would've come in, but with less than two minutes (and a lovely KO return) there's not enough time for a QB you don't trust to throw. I'm sure Georgia's defense prepared for whatever Gilded Age offense JF3 would have to run, but I would've liked to find out if they prepared well enough. I really don't know if Lashlee or Gus had any plan of putting JF3 in. Someone asked Lashlee who would start if White can't play next week and he said "I don't know". That seems to me like they had no plan to play Franklin, but it may just be him not wanting to answer the question. It really bothers me that two years in a row the coaches have lost games because they can't figure out that an injured Sean White is going to be worse than a healthy backup. Auburn would have lost the bowl game against Memphis last year if they hadn't played Jeremy Johnson. Hopefully they can evaluate White and only play him if he can throw. I don't know if "fraud" is the right word, but Auburn without Pettway and playing an injured Sean White is not a top 10 team and may not be a top 20 team. The defense is very good and can keep them in games, but the team that played last weekend is going to struggle to beat anyone. If they can get an offense together they have a chance at keeping it close with Bama and winning a nice bowl game. For that to happen I think Auburn needs to decide on a back-up and give them a chance to run a whole game, or get lucky with White healing up in time for Bama (or at least the bowl game which I think is more likely). Overall I'm still somewhat amazed Auburn has done as well as they have, but It's ridiculous that they apparently only have one QB on the roster they trust to throw the football.

Here's Auburn's first drive of the second half: - Incomplete pass - Incomplete pass - Pick-6 Here's Auburn's drive after UGA took the lead in the 4th: - Incomplete pass - Incomplete pass - Incomplete pass - Punt You guys were weird. I don't get it.

Also yeah we may beat ND and UVA both are not very good GT is def trickier than either of them, but the chances we hang with Clemson in ACCCG? Looking slimmer after the past few weeks, and then a bowl game who knows. Just trying to take solace in knowing things are trending in the right direction. Haven't had a real shot at winning the division in 3 years, so still a better than expected result is available. CFB is wacky.

Probably need a Washington Apple Cup loss, OkSt winning the Big 12, and the committee doing a poo poo ton of drugs You haven't seen Penn State this year, have you? Our offense is much better than most years and the defense is a little worse (only a little now that 2/3 linebackers have returned from injury--we were REALLY BAD against Pitt and Michigan without any linebackers). As things look right now, our OL is really banged up, and we might be burning a redshirt against Rutgers. We probably won't be able to run the type of offense that needs to beat Wisconsin, and they're going to get lots of pressure and shut down the run against our backup linemen. We might struggle to beat Rutgers this Saturday, so beating Michigan State is no guarantee. Without run blocking, Barkley carried the ball 30 times for 60 yards or so against Indiana.

He was awesome at Houston for one year as a freshman against terrible defenses, then he fell off a cliff the next year and got benched and transferred. So who knows? But there is no other option - I don't think Shane Morris ever quite fully recovered from mono a couple years ago. He just looks a step slow now, always. I expected him to be a star someday, but it ain't going to happen.

There's no way they take OSU over PSU if both win out, they have harped too much about conference champions. And PSU would deserve the spot. Nebraska or Wisconsin gets a bit trickier since OSU beat them. Is the Rose Bowl in the playoffs this year? I wouldn't mind if OSU went to that instead since I don't really see this team as potential champions with that offense.

I'm of the mind that I really just don't care if OSU makes the playoff or not at this point. This team has 35+ guys with freshman eligibility and only like 4-5 seniors. Barrett is a moron if he leaves for the draft. They'll be really good next year when Michigan is down like 17 starters and make potentially a better run then.

I think if the SEC East winner beats Bama (somehow) then Bama will still get in, probably as #4, while the SEC champ is left high and dry. That's about the only scenario where I see a non-conference champ getting in without the winner of their conference, if an undefeated team that's a strong #1 loses to a 2+ loss team in the conference championship.

They have never played in the Big10 championship game. In the years since Michigan last won their conference, YouTube, Amazon Prime, facebook.com, Netflix streaming, and smartphones have been launched. In that same period of time, Florida has won a Heisman Trophy and two national championships (none split). Florida has won its division as recently as last year. I feel like a Rivals.com poster. I'm going to take a shower now.
