I hope Franklin coaches like an idiot the whole game. It looks like the 4 seed will come down to Ohio State vs. the Big Ten champ.

I truly, truly hope you're serious.

If you say so. At the very least, Clemson will be #2, and they probably should be. They are better than Ohio State. And with the committee ranking a mediocre Utah team, I get the feeling they were looking to boost Washington's resume.

Hokies fighting.

Clemson defense very average.

LOL...

If these scores hold, the top 4 tomorrow will be chalk and unchanged.

Bama vs Washington
OSU vs Clemson

Penn State Cult is in shambles.

What?

OSU is in....committee members have already said it. Beyond the fact that PSU/Wisky have 1 more loss than OSU, OSU has BY FAR the second best schedule/resume in country.

And CFB can't risk another ratings dud on NYE this year. You don't eliminate the biggest fan base in the country when you need as many eyeballs as possible.

I said what my issue was. So read the post again and then "see what the debate is." You didn't respond to any of those points.

lWhat debate? AZ said there was no debate implying I was responding to something no one on this thread had said. I posted your post as an example.

and I did respond .
Pac 12 champion
1 loss team
Ill add 2nd ranked team in overall efficiency according to espn.

There was some other post about Washington as well.

Hysterical.

OSU is the 2 seed, if they need a symbolic drop to 3 (which they won't), then whatever.

People actually think OSU isn't already in?

Shit, and I thought your takes on politics were out there.

Penn State a joke, as we all thought.

Sad that we cant talk shit, seeing as we lost to them

Penn State is fucking trash. If Urban didn't piss down his leg and just called time out on the field goal that got blocked, they'd be undefeated.

If Clemson wins along with the Washington win. OSU could be ranked 3rd or 4th at the end of the day

0% chance

But that's my point, I guess. We are overvaluing that one less loss because they didn't play anyone. It's rewarding them for taking it super easy in the non-conference and then being in a bad conference.

What if Oklahoma had just scheduled Portland State instead of Ohio State? They'd probably be getting in and man, how stupid is that? Using Torn's logic, a 1 loss conference champ should always get in? Let's reward teams for taking the safest road possible? Nah, I don't think that's a good way of going about it.

The system has always favored wins over power of schedule/body of work. Its just how it works. If you want to get rid of that system eliminate the polls until the last week of the season/after the bowls.

That said as an oklahoma fan i feel tOSU is a better team than wisconsin or penn st, in fact i think UM is a better team right now than them as well. But I do believe that winning your conference should come into play. How much it matters is up for debate, but if you arent the best team of your conference how can you make the argument youre the best team in the country? Bama is the best team in the country but had they lost today, I think there would have been a very good and reasonable explanation to leave them out of the playoff, the same that i think there is a very good and reasonable explanation to leave tOSU out of the playoff. Win your damn conference. I also think thats how the system is set up, and thats what it rewards.

I will say though if the system was designed to promote who we think the best teams in the country are RIGHT NOW its bama, tOSU, washington, and OU/Michigan. Those are the best 4 playing teams right now. But how you weigh winning your conference VS number of wins VS overall body of work is up to you.
