Deal with it. Come Sunday, PSU will not be in the top four in which polls or in the computers. Penn staye has no argument whatsoever.

But comparing Ohio State to Penn State.....the conference title means that Penn State should be ahead of Ohio State. Ditto if Wisconsin wins the Big Ten.
Ohio State has a better record and tougher schedule than both division winners in the B1G. Thus, they are ranked ahead.

You're wasting your breath. The op said he was dipping out of this thread once he was called out as an arse clown. He was taken behind a yankee woodshed and ran

No, my assertion is based on the fact that Ohio State has voluntarily made a choice to join the Big Ten, and as such they have agreed to abide by the rules of the league, including how the league champion is determined.
As such, OSU agrees that if that, since they are not in the championship game, the winner of the game is their superior.
That doesn't mean they can't claim to be better than Washington, Oklahoma or Clemson. But it would show a tremendous lack of integrity for the school to accept a bid over the champion of their league.

So Alabama is out with Florida loss right?
And it highlights exactly how OSU fans are being RIDICULOUS in thinking OSU should 100% be in without PSU getting in.

It wasn't just the title game, crazy.
Y'all's schedule was legitimately embarrassing. And the loss to VT was even more embarrassing.
Why did y'all deserve to get in over TCU?

quote:There are no B1G bylaws that confirm this. The winner of the B1GCG is "Big Ten football champion"; whether that makes them superior to Ohio State is a matter of opinion that cannot be supported by comprehensive evidence.

"Better record and tougher schedule" trumps everything and has done so ever since the BCS was embryonic. Using a conference championship and head to head is fine if the teams have similar resumés, but Ohio State's is clearly the best among the 14 B1G teams over the course of this entire season.
You just don't have much of a point.

The fact that a 9-7 Giants team was crowned NFL champ for beating the 16-0 Patriots, and only a month after the Patriots had already beaten the Giants in the regular season, shows the shortcoming of the NFL playoff system. It made no sense logically and proved how little the regular season means.
Additionally, the regular season has significant meaning in the NFL. shite the bed and you're out entirely. Don't win your division and you better pray you grab that wild card slot.
At the end of the day, no one complains about the NFL postseason because it isn't subjective in any way whatsoever.
Edit: Eh, someone will complain because someome always does.
Even those who come in with the poorer records generally have to deal with playing on the road, which is a very significant factor in the playoffs.
Furthermore, the NFL has parity where as CFB does not. That's why a 10-6 Giants team winning it all isn't some travesty. The teams that have a good chance of beating Bama is incredibly short.
The teams with a solid chance of beating the Dallas Cowboys includes a list of 31 teams. You can adjust for the Browns if necessary, but even they could play a complete game and win.
I'll take this a step further. Your point of "The Patriots beat them in the regular season" does not work in the NFL. There are 32 franchises and 16 games to a season. There are definitely going to be rematches in a system like that.

In CFB, you can just schedule some weak OOC, and skate by your weak conf opponents. From there, win the good games on the schedule, slide into the playoffs and go. No playoff road games to account for. No parity really either.

I think I made that number up, so forgive me for that. But the you catch my drift. It is hard as shite to win a NC for 97% of the teams out there. Impossible for most.
