Clemson also lost 1 fewer game than us, and won 2 more games than us (including a conference championship).

Clemson's defense is, well...not good.
It might be a relatively high-scoring game, but OSU will win this one (I say something like 37-24), setting up a likely rematch with Bama.
I hate rooting for Bama, but...
...yeah.

I dunno why people are torturing themselves by watching a show where good things are going to happen to bad annoying football programs (with the exception of UW).

I know this will probably get me crushed on here but I just don't understand why we have to have the backloaded schedule every year. Why the hell should we play Michigan State, Iowa, and Ohio State near the end of the year every time. I know why it happens (because it always has, tradition, yada, yada, yada) but obviously our schedule isn't working to our advantage. We needed to beat Iowa so I am not excusing us. I just am tired of the same backloaded way it gets done now when someone like Alabama can do it differently. And don't tell me, well Alabama plays Auburn that week every year and all that. Auburn isn't good every year.

the best 4.
The committee sent a message that conference championships are a big part of it.
Moving Clemson over OSU, and PSU over Michigan makes this clear.
Clemson looked not great against VT. They did nothing to merit jumping OSU.
And Michigan is better than PSU by several touchdowns.
But they rewarded conference champs.
Will be interesting to the the analytical data driven polls.

I see:
1 loss conference champion CLemson passes 1 loss non-champ OSU
2 loss conference champion PSU passes 2 loss Michigan that stomped them
1 loss OSU is in but 2 loss PSU is out.
My conclusion is that they are saying conference championships are important but not important enough to outweigh an extra loss. Though I am not quite sure how to reconclie that with UW at 4. Should have been UW at 3 and OSU at 4. But whatever. Probably the message there being to schedule someone in OOC as UW had no decent games and Clemson had @Auburn while OSU had @Oklahoma. So...yeah.

Committee did not want to move them up ahead of OSU becasue they are sensitive to out of conference schedule.
They get in as a 1 loss conf champ.
But they don't get to Jump OSU because they had the weakest OOC schedule in all of college football.

All four of these teams would be in. Seriously! If not SEC commissioner would be bitching if not.

You're probably right with the possible exception of Wisky so they can claim non bias.

If we had Iowa we'd have been in. That loss, coupled with PSU throttling them, kept us out. Had we won that game it would've been Alabama, OSU, Clemson, Michigan.
We may have gotten screwed by the refs at Columbus but nobody's fault but ours for the loss at Iowa. That's the one that stings.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:58 PM ^
If Darboh had just made that catch on 3rd down.... game of inches, man.
December 4th, 2016 at 1:04 PM ^
In abolute terms, sure the Iowa game sucked, but with just an Iowa loss they are still in. As such, the singular thing outside their control (refs in Columbus) makes the whole thing tainted. There is a part of me that truly wishes for a close, but clear, loss to OSU so that I don't thnk about the refs.

Big Ten is run by OSU it seems. Why does OSU get the home-and-away with UM and MSU but both UM and MSU have complete "AWAY" and "HOME" years in these series? It is garbage. They don't even pretend to be impartial. There is no way that should be happening. Those are the two biggest rivals for each team. The fact that Michigan and Michigan State have to travel every other year for both rivalry games isn't right. There is nothing equitable about this.
If "The Game" was in Ann Arbor this season, it is a completely different ending IMO.

Going to wonder what this season could have been for a long, long time. It really feels like we're one of the top 4 teams in the country.
Just got to go out now and destroy our bowl matchup.

How will PSU be able to heal now?
