Changing nothing but team names, what happens?

Did Minnesota win 59-0? They're in

Did Texas not play an extra game, but Minnesota did, risking a loss and their playoff spot against a ranked opponent?

Same results brah.

quote:

---

For all those that think the committee got it right, do we still think they pick the exact same if this were the two teams discussing:

Ohio St becomes Minnesota, with same exact resume

Baylor becomes Texas, with same exact resume

---

Anyone who thinks this wouldn't affect things at least a little is naive.

Minnesota would be in and people wouldn't be bitching nearly as much. People are upset that Ohio State got in, but they cannot make a case they it was undeserved.

I hate OSU as much as the next guy, but no part of me believes TCU or Baylor are better teams than OSU. I cannot stress how dominant the championship game was last night. It was one of, if not the best wins in CFB this year.

School - winning % - opponents' winning % - opponents' opponents' winning %
School1 0.923 0.571 0.535
School2 0.917 0.464 0.520
School3 0.917 0.491 0.532

Now you tell us which one gets picked over the other two. Go ahead.

I disagree. We are all human. I think ESPN is pushing Texas, and the committee cant help but be influenced about what outsiders are saying. That is just how i feel

---

Feelings don't count, and your feeling that Ohio State, a member of a conference whose championship game was on Fox, got chosen because ESPN is pimping Texas, two of whose opponents played on ESPN yesterday, is insanely stupid, misguided, and uninformed.

quote:

---

All three teams have an argument. My point is we will always pick the argument of the brand name team.

---

And it's an uninformed point. Can you tell me any time when a team got in the BCS title game or CFP playoff when someone else with a better record and tougher schedule got screwed? I bet you can't.

quote:

---

In 2011, it was about best loss, conference champ meant nothing.

You don't know what you're talking about. I know this because you're saying the same shite ESPN is saying.

Alabama and OSU had the same record. Their SOS were a hair apart, advantage to the Pokes. Margin of victory didn't count in the computers as per BCS rules, and that's why OSU had a slight computer advantage. Alabama scored almost 5x as much as its opponents; OSU scored less than 2x as much as its opponents. Had MOV counted, Alabama would have been a unanimous computer #2. The fact is that Alabama's 11 victories were better than OSU's 11 victories, and Alabama's one loss was better than OSU's one loss. All things considered, there's nothing wrong with Bama at #2. So many of you are so in the dark about this. I might as well listen to Jesse "I can't tie a Windsor knot for the life of me" Palmer instead of you.

Auburn. Suck my balls bitch

---

You might want to provide the year.

Oklahoma and USC each had a higher SOS than Auburn in 2004.

Had you said "1983," you'd have the best argument in the world, but you have no idea what I'm talking about, of course, so I suggest you do some research before continuing arguing your uninformed, juvenile, misguided, hollow argument.

quote:

---

no, they didn't. Auburn was higher then both before the championship game. Auburn still finished higher then Oklahoma even after Oklahoma played #1 in the championship game. So you lie I see

---

You have no idea what you're talking about, my friend. Oklahoma and USC were #1 and #2, respectively, in the computers on Selection Sunday. Being that all three had the exact same winning percentage, the only thing that could separate the three in the computers (before the votes are even tallied) is SOS, be it interpreted through opponents' and opponents' opponents' record, home/away/neutral, or a combo of the both of them. The math gave us 1OU 2USC 3AU, and the polls gave us 1USC 2OU 3AU. AU was in the top 2 by no comprehensively mathematical accounts I've ever seen, and thanks to the Massey Composite, I've seen hundreds and actually informed myself instead of watching ESPN. The only thing that put AU in the top 2 was eye tests like yours
