Their losses are worse, and they are without QB1 the rest of the season. The back up is garbage

Going for 2 there is always the right call. You need to know ASAP whether it’s a one possession game.

Extra point makes it a 8 point game. 1 possession

That's dumb. You need a 2 pt conversion either way. It's better to go for it on the first td so you know if you got it and need 2 more scores or just 1 more.

Nah, that wisconsin loss was real bad. And the Oregon loss is also worse than either of ours.

But they'll be back in the mix now.

They can’t this week. They’re not even ranked. Rankings start to matter next week. I’m out.

Yes, obviously. The point is that when you’re down 15, you need 2 TDs, one XP, and 1 2PC. Going for two first resolves the ambiguity about the 2 point conversion sooner rather than later, allowing you to strategize for a possible extra possession if you need it (assuming there’s enough time/timeouts left). It gives you actionable information rather than just hoping for the best.

As a casual watcher I’d rather the XP first because it prolongs the drama, but it’s marginally better to go for 2 if you’re the trailing team.

I continue to be amazed at people not being able to understand this. It is rather simple, yet so many just can't grasp it.

OSU a joke. Further proof that all conferences aren’t equal and the scheduling is a joke.

They have 2 road wins over ranked teams. Indiana is in the top 5 and Iowa will be ranked in the CFP poll as well when it comes out. LSU doesn’t have a win over any team that will be ranked in the poll.

Just giving you facts so you’re not disappointed when they’re ranked ahead of us. We have the #1 remaining sos though so I’m not concerned with who is ranked where right now. We handle our business and win out we can earn ourselves all the way up to a playoff bye
