So are you going to ignore that the polls actually had the eventual NC left out of the playoff hunt?

AP was one off, and who's to say Baylor doesn't win like tOSU did?
But you weren't making the argument that they may have had one team just out. You were making the argument that they could be way off. Don't try to change it now because the facts don't fit your argument.

At the 1 yd line? It's different. In the eyes of the players and coaches. I promise you.
Not when the game is literally over when you take that knee.

That argument holds no water, as I've already addressed.

If Les had run up the score and people were on here bitch ing about it you'd be defending Les. Stop pretending youre anything more the a Les Miles defender to the end. Les could go 0-12 and there is a group of you that would want to give him a raise.

Didn't Miles try not to score versus Ole Miss for like 3 straight drives a few years ago?

I seem to recall Zach getting in the doghouse for making a good run.
Ask any Ole Miss fan what was more insulting. Trying to score or sitting on the ball purposely not trying barely into the 4th qtr.

Nice impossible to prove argument you've made there.

Your position however is based upon concrete undisputed fact?

My position is based on we don't fricking know. So why leave any doubt.

This game's result didn't leave doubt one way or the other. That score would make no difference. You are arguing to argue.

You're just writing it off because it doesn't support your opinion. It holds water because the situations are almost exactly the same.
End of the game totally in hand, if a runner is a 3rd and ball gets caught at the fence, he jogs in. If a football team is at the one, they run a play. That doesn't mean a team steals and bunts just like a football team isn't passing at midfield and running anything other than off tackle plays.

No, I'm writing it off because in baseball the other team still has an opportunity to win. That is not the case with less than a minute up 3 tds.

Except they aren't.

And if a defender had gotten hurt on the extra drive EMU got because we scored with time on the clock? That is the #1 reason you run out the clock when you can. If we score to pad stats or "reward a running back", then we leave time on the clock for EMU to try and get a garbage TD. Injuries can and do happen during those types of drives. It is not smart football at all.

Not a single starter should have been in the game there. But here's a little known secret to some of you, the backups want to play in the games and they want to succeed as well.

Up 10 or 20, yes the game is over in baseball. We're not talking about t ball or JV teams. That's the only basis for your argument. And it's weak as shite.

And here's a secret for you. Taking a knee is the right call in that situation 100% of the time. Only a Miles bashing moron would complain about this.

More recently and less controversially, the Braves came back from seven runs down on May 10, 1994, to force extra innings and then they beat the Phillies in 15; six years later the Brewers overcame a ninth-inning deficit of seven runs to extend the game and beat the Astros in 10 innings. In all, home fans have cheered on seven ninth-inning comebacks from seven runs down since 1957, according to baseball scribe John Walsh, who dug through Retrosheet files.
It's not the same. Shut up already.

Do you have literacy issues? 7 is not 10 or 20.

Your baseball analogy is, at best, flawed. You either don't understand what what Lnchbox is saying or you are pretending you don't understand.
You do agree in your baseball scenario the other team would still have a chance to bat and thereby score enough runs to win the game...correct?
