Playoff Selection Thread…?

Huh?
Final was 45-37. A 1 score game. Penn State outyarded Oregon 523 to 469. Penn State ran for 297 yards.
The difference was the 2 picks by Allar from Penn State. Take those away and the game is very much up for grabs.
Agree...Alabama had 2 bad losses which cost them dearly. They did beat some good teams, which SMU can't say.
Opportunities bud, Penn St threw 2 Int's and even without those 2 Penn St still cou;dn't stop their offense from scoring at will. Difference is, Oregon can score at will when it matters and Penn St can't as was proven. Plus all out speed kills and Oregon ran circles around Penn St in speed as was seen last night. Drew Allar isn't even in the same Galaxy as Gabrial in talent. Oregon has far more talent on it than Penn St as well. It was Oregon's bust on coverages that allowed Penn St to get big chunk yardage on a couple of drives, it wasn't State dominating and manhandling on those plays it was Oregon that shot itself in the foot. Technically this game shoulda been a laugher and an absolute blowout.

Who? Who did they beat? Georgia who is obviously way down since losing Monken and are lucky as hell they don't have 2 to 3 more losses themselves? What overrated 3 loss team did Bama beat besides that now overrated win over Georgia to negate the 2 terrible losses to get in?
He's trying to say the Big 10 only has one quality team. He also told me before the season that Oregon wasn't a fun team to watch when I said I was looking forward to Oregon in the Big 10.
No one will ever be happy. Back in the day it started with 2 polls... subjective as hell but for the most part it worked out but there was a lot of crying.
Then it went to 2 teams and then 4 and now 12. Everyone bitches regardless of the format.
If it were a 2 or 4-team playoff, Alabama wouldnt be upset - they lost 3 games. Clemson wouldnt be in the playoffs, neither would SMU and they wouldnt be bitching.
It's 12 teams and it is what it is. There will always be someone bitching.

They should try to match out of conference opponents if possible.
No I didn't bud, take that lyin crap somewhere else. I didn't come back here until early last month. I hadn't been on here in a few years. My 1st post back here was Nov 17th of this year. Well I know now one of the liars of the board are now. Liar on the board and liar in real life. Be proud!
I’ll take Indiana over ND. Maybe I’m the only one. lol
Everybody knew the rules coming into season 1 of the playoffs.
Hopefully they will tweak it a little for a couple years and get it as good as it can be.
I do think matching conference opponents in round 1 is a mistake, each conference, regardless of strength, should have an equal chance to advance. That being said, you just gotta beat whoever you face.
Right, let's forget Bama lost to Vandy and OU, bad losses.
We had 6 losses that cost us dearly, but we're not whining about it. We didn't beat anyone of substance either, unless we want to consider a CU team that completely revised itself as the year went on.
First part is accurate (and obvious)
Would need to see a quote for the 2nd, doesn’t sound like something I’d say.
Good point. I better make sure that have my bank info to send me my share
For decades the KSU, KU, ISU's of the big 8/12 sucked off NU's bowl profits. Now we get to glean money off OSU, MU, PSU, ORE, IA, IND's games that actually pay worth a shit compared to NU's Pinstripe Bowl.
To bring Nebraska into this thread for any reasoning is laughable.
Are you saying SEC champion and overall #2 seed Georgia is overrated and that Alabama's win over them doesn't count much? Hmm, if so. South Carolina (who beat Clemson who beat SMU) is turning out to be a pretty good win.
If I had to bet my house on a game between Alabama and SMU, straight up, I know I wouldn't be taking SMU...doubt you would either.
Sorry I accidentally put that 1 in front of it. Typing to fast
I was most definitely off on the score I predicted in the Iowa game, but was 1000% correct on what the Blackshirts would do to their offense and what they would do to KJ. We absolutely wrecked that OL and their offense.
PSU seems to have the easiest path to the National Semi-finals. The others have brutal schedules to make it that far.
Texas would have to beat Clemson, Ohio State and Oregon to get to the semi's;
OSU has to beat Tenn, Oregon and Texas to get to the semi's;
Oregon has to beat Ohio State, Texas to get to semi's;
Dame needs to beat Ind, Ga, then maybe PSU to get to semi's;
It doesn't look easy for anyone. If GA beats ND, they have a clear path.
How does anyone who lost 3 games. 2 were to 6-6 teams except to get in a National Championship playoff this shows the arrogance of the SEC .
Yes. I am. The SEC doesn't have a bitch when it took their champ (who has 2 losses) 8 OTS to beat an unranked GT lol.

Love that Bama did not get a gift and I love that winning a title is actually hard now and not just a team that is placed into the final four.
Also, I LOVE ND to wipe the floor with Indiana. 30-7

Some team will have to be really good to win it all.
Games like OSU v. Oregon this year, Bama v. Georgia, Michigan v. Bama last year are fun to watch.
I think TENN at OSU, and SMU at Penn State heavily favor the home teams because of weather.
I still wonder how much the cold weather affected a really good ORE team against a really bad WISC team in Madison had.
Well I hate that song, those Cheeto colored uniforms and the $EC !Go Vols. I don't see that money, so
Go Bucks!!
Can I ask something? Were you a fan who complained about the way the Schooners and Bonghorns manipulated the conference for years. To the point Tom looked for another option? We’re in this conference and it’s not their fault that our management hired the wrong people. You can hate the conference but only our university is to blame for our history.
