These polls are a joke

[nzm136]

the last 2 at large spots in ny 6 is a very tough call right now between washington state, penn state and texas.
These teams should be in playoffs or ny 6:
alabama
clemson
nd
ohio state
----
oklahoma(big 12 champ )
georgia
michigan(rose bowl replacement)
washington(pac 12 champ)
UCF
LSU

OU should be in ahead of Ohio State.

OU lost to Texas and Ohio State lost to Purdue (badly). I don’t care what they did to a 2 loss Michigan team at home.

 

[nzm136]

With all due respect, your "zero" argument is amusing really, as it's subjective. The fact is, OSU has one loss, one. It also just annihilated the #4 team in the country whose defense had been superb and statistically highly rated. Who's to say a one loss Buckeye team couldn't score 70 points on a Sooner D that has given up multiple 50 point games this season?

The 4 team playoff is a joke, and it's hilarious that anyone argues with a conviction of certainty who the 4 best teams are IMO.

Whose to say that the Sooner offense couldn’t score 71 on Ohio State?

This is where scheduling and beating a big name non conference opponent would help us. That hasn't been a good strategy in the past, but if we keep improving, it's something we should do every other or every third year

the committee has been hammering oklahoma for lack of defense every week so thats why i think they would be ahead though i expect this week they will do the simple thing and just slide georgia up to 4

Ohio States defense isn’t that good. It gave up 51 to Maryland(45 in Reg). They just happen to play in a conference where none of the coaches know how to play offense.

what id love to see a time where we are good enough to actually be asked to play in those neutral site games the first week of the season

 

[nzm136]

Penn State and Florida don’t deserve NY6 games.
Period.
Florida is a team we would beat.
They have a garbage QB and our run D has improved since Pittsburgh.

They are so overrated it’s a joke. They didn’t get punished for being destroyed at home to Missouri.
Syracuse gets destroyed by an undefeated team at a neutral site and boom Florida is now clear of Syracuse by 9 spots.
It’s a joke.
The SEC doesn’t have 4 of the top 11 teams. Plus two more teams Kentucky and Mississippi State above Syracuse.

PSU getting a NY6 invite is a joke.

App State went the distance with them, and their two good wins were Pitt and a close loss to Ohio State.

No one. But, if you really have to ask, then you've missed the larger point/argument.

49 to Purdue, 39 to Michigan as well

Then hopefully NW makes the argument moot.

I don’t disagree that OU has been getting hammered, but it’s not like tOSU doesn’t have flaws, too.

At least OU lost to a legit team. Ohio State was dismantled by Purdue, and they’ve looked shaky throughout the season.

 

[nzm136]

No one. But, if you really have to ask, then you've missed the larger point/argument.

I get what you’re trying to say. Your point is that there is no certainty as to who would win, so making definitive statements like “x *absolutely* should be in over y” is a bad idea.

My point is that you’re asking the wrong question.

 

[Alsacs]

We are 18th in the coaches poll.
It’s a joke how Washington State loses less spots getting pounded at home than we did losing to a better team at a neutral site.

West Virginia is 8-3 and ahead of us.

lol

 

[Jakesu10]

I would have loved to play Penn State this year. They struggled to beat Rutgers.

We struggled to beat UNC at home lol

 

[nzm136]

We struggled to beat UNC at home lol

Not that CFB is overly transitive, but I’ll take UNC over the ladies any day.

 

[Cusefan0307]

We struggled to beat UNC at home lol

Not sure what’s funny about that. Are you a PED state fan in disguise?

UNC can score. Rutgers didn’t score more than 17 all season in conference play. UNC would be at least a 10 point favorite on Rutgers.

These Big teams outside of Ohio State and Purdue have zero idea how to play offense.

They are stuck in the 3 yards and cloud of dust era.

 

[bcubs9497]

The CFP, and its predecessor, the BCS? Nothing but horse squeeze; just another way to monetize amateur sports. Until an FCS-like playoff system is implemented, my opinion will not waver.

They’re both terrible teams. We had no business going to OT with them.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I’m not arguing UNC is good. They just aren’t Rutgers bad.

They did take NC State to OT yesterday as well and put 35 up on a 7 win Duke team.

I watched Washington State beat Arizona 69 - 28.. Their first half was the most efficient half of football I saw from anybody. Their pornstash quarterback is a star.

 

[cuse10]

UNC was the product of rotten coaching by Fedora. They should have won five to six games. If they knew how to close, they'd have beaten Syracuse and NC State. They would run Rutgers off of the field.

Not really. If you get the first part about getting what I'm trying to say, then my question certainly can't be wrong as it can not actually be answered/determined under the current format.

 

[orangecuse]

Well, for people convinced in their conviction, it'll appear to tilt their argument, no matter how flawed it may be, but it doesn't change the principle of the argument. And that is, that a 4 team playoff, no matter how you slice it, is immensely subjective.

We don't have to look too far back in remembering how an Ohio State team that many said didn't belong in the playoff a couple years back, rolled all, including The Tide.
