Dolfan in NYC Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 We're minutes away from finding out what our college football overlords think are the top 4 teams. This should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm telling you. Watch it happen. The TCU/Baylor thing is a clusterfuck that they'd rather not make the call on. It should be an easy pick for Baylor over TCU, but it's obvious from the way the polls have played out over the past few weeks that the committee has no respect for Baylor. So, hey, here's conference champion Ohio State! I CALLED IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This is what Baylor gets for hiring a fucking lobbyist to try to get in. This will be a lesson to other conferences in the future not to get cute with naming conference champions. Watching OSU get humiliated is always fun as well. The question is can FSU pull their Ric Flair routine against Oregon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 After putting up 59 points against a pretty good Wisconsin team it was hard to think Ohio State wasn't going to make the playoffs. TCU just doesn't scream "best 4 teams". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee punished the Big 12 for being giant pussies and declaring co-champions this Ohio St is in to be fed to Bama on New Year's Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Poor Jeff Long got sent out there without the ability to give a straight answer on TCU/Baylor. Reece wasn't letting him off the hook either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Don't know how anybody would be surprised that it was Baylor that hired the lobbyist. They do have Ken Starr as their university president, after all. Anyway, I'd like to thank the committee for the early Christmas present. The wailing and gnashing of teeth here in Big 12 land will be glorious. The only thing that would've made it funnier to me would've been having Texas in the place of TCU.

EVA Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If Notre Dame isn't on the phone with the ACC, Big 12, and B1G right now, somebody is fucking up. I think one of the things the committee made clear is that they place a premium on clear-cut conference champions. If undefeated conference champ FSU couldn't even crack the top 2, I don't see undefeated non-champ Notre Dame ever getting in without the benefit of a mass chaos scenario.

evilwaldo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Big 12 commish: We need to add 2 teams next year. Secretary: Boise State on line 1 sir and Marshall on line 2. Big 12 commish: Put Boise on hold. Marshall, you want in? Sure, no problem, you are in. Thanks, bye. We just need one more. Secretary: Boise on line 1. Big 12 commish: Just need one more team. Maybe Colorado St. No, they just lost their coach. Maybe I can entice BYU if I let them keep their network. Secretary: Boise on line 1.

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I don't think it was so much about having a conference champion. I'd believe it if you told me this was all about television ratings. That's the only way you can justify Ohio St. as "one of the best 4 teams" They are going to get fucking destroyed. Notre Dame would have made it in if they had a great year. Again, it's about TV ratings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Nah. There were two clear messages: We want clear-cut champions, and we want you to play somebody out of conference. Those two things acting in concert were the Big 12's undoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ohio St.'s out of conference schedule was Navy, Kent State, Cincinnati and Virginia Tech. Cincy is a 9-win team but the American conference is a joke. Virginia Tech was awful this year and Ohio St. lost to them by two touchdowns @ home. TCU beat Minnesota by 23. That's better than anything Ohio St. did out of conference and their loss was to a top 5 team on the road by a field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ohio ST isn't one of the 4 best teams I think Baylor should be the 4th but the Big 12 made it easy by declaring co-champions when Baylor beat TCU. The committee a few days ago said they would give a higher priority to solo conference champions then co-conference champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that you're putting me in the position of defending Ohio State, but if you're going to make a case for TCU over them, OOC is not the way to go. Having played an FCS team and 1-11 SMU, the Minnesota win is literally all they have to hang their hat on OOC, and you'd have a hard time convincing me that Minnesota is demonstrably better than Cincinnati. Plus, a game against always challenging Navy is significantly better than an FCS gimme or SMU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
