Heh, 538 gave TCU a 91% chance of making the playoff. -- (link) - Tim Dec 7, 11:24 1
- (Also of note in there, Baylor was #5, TCU fell to #6) -- nm - Tim Dec 7, 11:26
I'm just happy that after losing to s surprisingly good Ole Miss team & a collective brain fart against Air Force, Boise St made it back in the top 25 -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 11:15 1

Not a single team to root for in the CFB Playoffs. Can we just nuke it from orbit and start over? -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Dec 7, 10:48 4
- you should like better teams - dogbert Dec 7, 10:55 1
  - Says the Michigan fan... - Scots-IrishStephen Dec 7, 10:58
- So you are saying they need a 50 team playoff so your team can get in? :) -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:50 1
  - Nope, ND wouldn't even make it in a 50 team playoff this year. heh I'd have been happy with either TCU or Baylor making it in. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Dec 7, 10:54
Tennessee is worse than Oakland. -- nm - David Dec 7, 10:41 1
- Suck for the Duck -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:42
I assume they will say it like this: last week TCU had not lost the big 12 title, this week they are officially in 2nd. they drop because of this and - dogbert Dec 7, 10:38 14
- It looks like all the new system did was replace one type of "logic" that no one liked to another type of "logic" that no one likes. - TWuG Dec 7, 10:57
- ESPN reported that TCU will share the title will Baylor despite the head to head win. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:44 7
  - my guess is because they are idiots. by changing the rule they locked out either team. might as well have declared iowa state the chanmps then -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:46 6
    - ??? The championship rule had nothing to do with the committee's rankings. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:47 5
      - even if the commite thought TCU was better than ohio states, they could not put in TCU and leave out baylor because they are the true winner of their - dogbert Dec 7, 10:53 4
        
        Ohio State beat #13 Wisconsin 59-0 yesterday. The 'co-champs' title has nothing to do with it. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:57 1
        
        That's probably the sole reason OSU went up. They played phenomenally with a QB getting his first career start. - TWuG Dec 7, 11:08
        
        TCU was *always* second by that logic in their conference. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:55 1
        
        because it until this weekend they were tied, after this weeked they were second - dogbert Dec 7, 10:57
- It's more about the small sample sizes. TCU received no boost from beating a 2-win team. Baylor and OSU played good teams. - David Dec 7, 10:43 1
  - I agree completely. the lack of boost along with TCU dropping in their own conference even though they won is all the commity needed -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:48
- I thought the Big 12 declared Baylor and TCU Co-Champions -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:40 2
  - there is a line in the rules that states ties are broken bu head-to-head. -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:40 1
    - by even -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:41

- Drew Breez is on pace for -10 fantasy points -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:35
The nice thing about an OSU/Alabama game is it gives me a reason to watch football with my neighbors who just moved here from Alabama. - TWuG Dec 7, 10:30
The Big 12 should probably look to expand though. Boise St and Central Florida? Old SWC teams Rice, Houston, SMU -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:24 8
- Just posted below that people here are talking about them adding Cincinnati. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 7, 10:25 2
  - I also wonder if BYU would be interested. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:38 1
    - Makes sense. Cincinnati has been campaigning to be in a power 5. would bridge to WVU. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 7, 10:59
- Boise and Houston would be the 2 optimals -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:25 4
  - I just figured everyone wanted a Florida school for recruiting. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:30 3
    - Houston would be a bigger television market though. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:30 2
      - They have Texas, so they already have the Houston market. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:31 1
        
        Correction: the Big 12 *is* Texas. -- nm - spamlet Dec 7, 10:53
Ryan Clark should expect a discussion from Roger's office. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:23
Hoyer just threw a ball 10 feet over a receivers head who was like 15 yards away...that takes talent -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:18 1
- He should grow taller! -- nm - Hoyer Dec 7, 10:19
J-E-T-S..Jets Jets Jets -- nm - budice Dec 7, 10:08 2
- 3 more of those and they can tie it!! -- nm - Jovian Dec 7, 10:15 1
  - heh or take the lead rather. - Jovian Dec 7, 10:16
And they pretty much guaranteed themselves a Bama/Oregon final given the nature of the teams. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:00 3
- I am glad we didn't draw Ohio St. I think FSU is really the weakest link of the four. -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:03 1
  - This playoff guarantees a power team to play against a flashy speed team -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:04
- Oregon at a Pac12 stadium, Bama literally at a SEC stadium. -- nm - budice Dec 7, 10:01
Dear Big 12, that's what you get for not having a championship game. Might want to fix that fuckers! -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:46 25
- People around here talking about them picking up Cincinnati. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 7, 10:25
- NCAA rules do not allow them to have a championship game. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:53 3
  - But they are called The Big TWELVE! -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:55 2
    - Well the Big Ten is taken by a conference with 14 teams so again, we can blame the Big T14N -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:56 1
      - :) -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:57
- They no longer have a championship game because they don't have enough teams to warrant it. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 09:51
- Baylor that PR firm really helped ya didn't it? -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:47 18
  - They don't have 12 members which is what the NCAA requires for a title game. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:51 9
    - They did a disservice to the integrity of this system by having the committee put out rankings during the season. - ty97 Dec 7, 09:55 3
      - we'll have to look up that word and get back to you. is that German? -- nm - NCAA Dec 7, 11:19
      - integrity...in College Football? pull the other one. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:04
      - It creates a buzz and that's what they got, a buzz saw -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:56
    - I didn't know that one. Get more teams!! -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:54 4
      - Do you not recall the Big 12 nearly imploding a couple of years ago? - ty97 Dec 7, 09:57 3
        
        I remember whent they had the championship game, I didn't know they lost it because of a rule. I thought they lost it because they wanted to not - Bacon Dec 7, 10:02 2
        
        In the current Big 12, all 10 teams play each other during the season (9 matchups for each team) - ty97 Dec 7, 10:06 1
        
        No need except for this year when you have 2 teams that because declared co-champions. They really should have decided on one and not gotten cute -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:09
  - This is all about OSU demolishing Wisconsin, nothing to do with what Baylor did/did not do. - ty97 Dec 7, 09:51 7
    - 4 conferences of 16 teams. conference championships determine the 4 playoff teams. - znufrii Dec 7, 10:07 6
      - Will never happen. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:08 5
        
        well yeah, it's a completely logical league structure. of course it will never happen. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:09 4
        
        It's going to end up with an 8 team playoff anyway. I think 8 is solid any more is barf, and 4 doesn't really work now does it -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:11 3
        
        4 would work if they had any logical consistency. Ohio State / TCU / Baylor are 3 interchangeables really.... - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:30 1
        
        Yep. If they had kept FSU at 3 and TCU at 4 they could have dropped out 4 easier. Falling two spots out of the playoff when you won your game is a - Bacon Dec 7, 10:34
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Dec 7, 10:27
CFB show: Looks like they're gonna drag this out -- nm - budice Dec 7, 09:35 14

      - I WILL TAKE THAT!!!! -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 09:46
  - They moved...FSU up? Oh, fuck these people. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:44 3
