Osu is NOT deserving. Psu and osu are in the same division, psu beat osu head to head, and psu would have a conference title. Osu doesm't have any of that mentioned

Margin of loss is irrelevant

Well according to the committee it is seeing as they still have them ranked 7th.

Unbalanced schedules and divisions make conference championships a nice tiebreaker, but nothing more.

The conference title isn't why PSU should be in before OSU.

OSU has wins over #5, #6, and #9.

PSU would have wins over #2, and #6. A head to head win over OSU. A division title in the division that OSU is in. And a conference title against the top ranked team in the west division.

Give me a fricking break.

Also. Iowa beat Michigan. PSU beat them by 27.
MSU lost to OSU by 1 and Michigan by 9. PSU beat them by 33.
Wisc took OSU to OT and Michigan beat them by 7. We'll have to see what PSU does, but if they beat them thoroughly, then goddamn, people.

Michigan beat PSU. PSU beat OSU. OSU beat Michigan.

Yes, PSU went to Pitt and lost by 3 in week 2. If they beat Wisc, they'll have 10 wins in a row.

People are insane if they don't think in this scenario, the head to head and division title and conference title should trump the positives for OSU. Goddamn insane.

All that sounds great but 1-Loss > 2-Loss... /End Thread

What's insane to me is you establish this:
quote:

Michigan beat PSU. PSU beat OSU. OSU beat Michigan.


Then completely gloss over the fact PSU lost AN ADDITIONAL GAME on top of that round robin.

And you gloss over a road win against the likely Big 12 champ.

You do realize that if Michigan would have beaten Iowa, OH St wins the division. A game that featured neither OSU or PSU.

Also, there is a nice shiny #9 next to Oklahoma, but it takes a real a-hole to recognize it.

Game 1 - lost to Houston
Game 2 - LA Monroe
Game 3 - Lost to OSU
Game 4 - Beat shite arse TCU by 6, allowing 46 points.
Game 5 - Beat fricking Texas 45 to frickING 40
Also Beat 3-9 Iowa State by 10.

^^^^^^ That's one of the reasons why people want OSU in over PSU? There's no way to argue that you aren't an a-hole if that's the case. Oklahoma is either a dogshit football team, or was a complete dogshit football team when OSU beat them.

I love how you only get into the details that help support your own argument.

Meant for ReauxlTide

Well, nobody is really tying that shite out. I "glossed over" it because I don't think that loss in week 3 now that PSU would be on a 10 game win streak...would matter. It shouldn't trump the head to head the division and the conference.

You are an Alabama fan... I can't stand Alabama but if Florida upsets Alabama on Saturday you are saying they should be put in the Playoff over Alabama??

I don't give a shite if UF beats them by 50 points... Alabama still deserves to get in the playoff as the #1 seed because of their body of work this year. I still think they would be the best 1-Loss team.

Wins and Losses matter... THEN all the other stuff.
If PSU and OSU had the same record I put PSU in all day every day... They don't have the same record and that matters!

I'd say I got into OSU's win over Oklahoma. Y'all say that helps them, no?

And I don't believe in away and home when arguing this shite. 1, because in conference, it switches every year and teams are up and down every year and there just nothing you can do about it. 2, because you assholes keep picking and choosing where it's "tough to play." Idk where it is and isn't tough to play, so I avoid talking about it.

Florida would have won the head to head and have the conference title and division title, I believe by his own reasoning he would want Florida in.

I think it's because I'm like a squirrel when I get going around here. Sometimes I'm fast, but have no idea which direction I'm going :lol:

Camp Randall and Happy Valley are the hardest places to play in the the B1G and arguable top 5 hardest places to play in the country.

I do not see how you can ignore it. Is it the end all be all, no...but a road loss against PSU looks better to me than a home loss.
