this is the fricking stupidest shite. Stop posting this
When your opponents and opponents' opponents don't win as many games as Ohio State's, you almost always have to have a better record than Ohio State to be ranked ahead of Ohio State.

a 4-8 win for ohio st is just as important as their win over Wisky and Mich st.

Ohio St was picked from past history and tradition. If. TCU had the tradition they'd be in. And whoever don't think so is blind

Two teams play the same opponent and here are the scores of those games.
Team 1 30-7
Team 2 31-24
Which team do you think is better by the final score vs a common opponent?

Unless you can prove that the numbers I've provided are drastically miscalculated, you won't be able to refute the fact that the statistics I provided are the general framework of a basic argument in terms of ranking the three teams (and all 128, for that matter). Whether or not all the games matter is not up for debate--obviously they do. You've nothing to gain intellectually from arguing against that.

quote:i think it was clear Baylor had the tougher schedule. And before you post your stat, you and I both know, a 4-8 or 3-9 team wont effect the way any rational person views schedule strength. I view both schedules rationally, by seeing what quality teams are on the schedule who actually have competitive football teams. If that makes me stupid because I dont follow a stat like a drone, so be it

Note that I haven't said that Ohio State was better. But year in and year out, when one team gets over another in a huge controversy, it's the team with the better record and/or higher SOS. Ohio State fared better in these two categories than did either of the other two; thus, there is no reason to suspect any screwjob here. Ohio State has a better record. Their opponents have a better record. Their opponents' opponents have a better record. All this counts. Every bit of it. That's why games are played--so they count.
You have a six-game argument you've drafted to fit your opinion. It's interesting, but incomplete.

Ok so
Team 1 loss vs top 10 team on the road
Or
Team 2 loss to 6-6 team at home
