but I have to mention that the phantom face mask call cost us the Iowa game, and probably this playoff bid
December 4th, 2016 at 1:36 PM ^
Yeah but if you count that then you have to count the 4 (FOUR!) wide-open deep shots to Darboh that got missed. Any one of those would've changed the game far more than the facemask call.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
Being #5 or #6 doesn't matter. I hope we beat FSU or whoever we play and Bama rolls UW/USC kills PSU. I hope the CFP ratings blow and everyone realizes we should've been #4.
And next year, I hope we can have a healthy QB for the OSU game.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
makes sense. Nothing.

He is the physical manifestation of every OSU fan I've met online.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:45 PM ^
I can't find many reasons to dislike the guy. That's an unpopular opinion but he's seems to be fairly objetive for the most part. Desmond has been much more homerish than Joey lately. Which is fine by me.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:59 PM ^
He's so whiney and fragile, like he's shocked that somebody else could have an opinion different than his.
December 4th, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
December 4th, 2016 at 12:50 PM ^
I'd be shocked if his IQ is over 75

Galloway is cheap and ESPN is out of money.

We finsihed 4th in our conference, that's the bottom line, we beat the Conference Champions soundly 3 months ago, but they beat Ohio State a few weeks ago and we came up short last week. Beat Iowa and we would have been in ahead of Washington.
Bring on FSU!
December 4th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
Yeah, we're all surprised that Penn State won it, but they did not steal anything to do it.
They did what they needed to do, according to the rules that existed before the season even started.
They didn't do anything that we couldn't do. We just didn't do it.
Same thing with MSU last year. Gotta take care of business.

So fucking biased toward Ohio State.

such a Desmond move
December 4th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
is the idea that we helped OSU stay in the top 4 by beating the hell out of Pedo State.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
I'd rather OSU be in, fuck penn state and their joe pa loving fans
December 4th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^

Tragic.
Boggles the mind.
What part of 49-10 don't you understand?
December 4th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
December 4th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
This ranking is even less meaningful than any preseason rankings
December 4th, 2016 at 12:46 PM ^
Like it or not -- I most certainly don't -- but the committee probably made the "right" decision here. I'm not gonna get too bent out of shape between the #5 and #6 picks. If it ain't top 4, well...you ain't in.
The more interesting scenario would have happened if PSU hadn't lost to Pitt, and all other things remained equal. Now that would have made things a bit tougher.
As it is, they went with the safest, least-controversial option.
It makes my brain hurt, tho, looking back on ALL THE LITTLE THINGS that could have gone our way this past season that didn't -- both for our games, and in other teams' games.
Bring on Florida State.
Heal up (fully), Wilton.

Prepare for sweating out an Alabama/OSU title game. The stars seem to align for those fucks whenever they need a helping hand.

I'm surprised that they haven't been forced to trot a stud backup QB onto the field yet. I think they're a much more dangerous team when they're trying to take the top off a defense. Barrett don't turn it over very ofter but I think fear of a pick is holding his game back. They can beat Clemson with they're run game but they'll have to be able to go deep if they want a shot a beating bama.

Razor thin my ass. Lying bastards!
Washingtons schedule in a weak conference was rewarded.
We had the toughest conference in the country.
This process is gross.

I don't know, more information was provided in the time between when they said that and todays ranking including Washington beating a common opponent more handily than we did. That was always the thing about the commitee's comments, they were made without complete profiles

So play in shit coference where your "quality wins" are counted as top 25, and not top 10...
Can we go join the ACC?

Again, we lost to Iowa, and finished the season 1-2.
Those of you thinking Michigan was going to get in after the way the season ended are clearly people who favor the "every kid deserves a trophy" mantra.
We didn't earn it. This is a meritocracy. We don't get a trophy for losing to Iowa.

Bullshit. A true meritocracy isn't subjective. I love college football and the arguments we have about who should be in or who shouldn't but come on, don't give me this horseshit that it's a meritocracy. If that were the case, Ohio State would not be in the playoff since they didn't even earn it in their own conference.

And as sobering as it is, we really needed Colorado and VT to win to give us a chance. The Iowa game is what screwed us. I think we all knew that.
If Speight could've just hit one of those deep shots against Iowa, we're probably having a different conversation this afternoon. Or if we would've ran the clock out when we had the chance against Iowa or OSU, things would've been different. We didn't execute when we needed it.
December 4th, 2016 at 1:15 PM ^
Even if we beat Iowa we wouldn't of went to the playoffs bc of Clemson and Washington. I don't see how we would've gotten in regardless.
