2014-2015 National Champs

I think I hate FSU more than any SEC team.

I'll just go with this:

Cool.

I'll just go with this:

And OSU's MOV ishigher, even with a loss

Not Bama. But everyone else..

And OSU's MOV ishigher, even with a loss

I think the committee would consider which team's loss is worse (assuming FSU loses) before they'd get to looking at MOV, but we can agree to disagree.

If that was the case, FSU would not be behind Oregon

I think everyone respects Wisconsin as a program more than Nebraska, so soundly beating them in the championship is probably the more impactful win.

There's no way beating a 2 loss Wisconsin (with a loss coming to Northwestern) looks better than beating a 1 loss Nebraska whose only loss was at Michigan State. No way.

Eh, we need chaos now. Something along the lines of the SEC East team winning the championship and somehow a 2 loss team winning the Pac 12 title.

Sort of agree but I don't think the gap is as large as some may think.

1) Wisconsin has been getting better as the season has gone on. In the last four games they have outscored their opponents by 135 points combined. If we can say OSU is getting so much better, then you can't ignore the same argument for Wisconsin.

2) They blew out Nebraska. If they squeaked one out 28-27, it wouldn't be as good. But beating them by 5 touchdowns should help the cause.

But I do agree about us needing some chaos. Won't be happening next week.

All the teams playing ahead of us, including us, have garbage match-ups.

 

[Soar]

I mean look at this:

Miss State v Vanderbilt
Oregon v Colorado
FSU v Boston College
Bama v Western Carolina
ASU v Washington State
Baylor v Oklahoma State
Ohio State v Indiana

Just garbage.

Today was fucking killer. Got
No help

What stings is that the games were so close. The TCU-Kansas, Bama-Miss St. and Miami-FSU games were decided by a combined 13 pts. If all 3 of those games go the other way, OSU controls its own destiny, IMO.

I'm not saying beating Wisconsin won't be considered a good win, but we're 8th so we need as much help as possible right? Now which scenario would have given us the greatest benefit? I don't think there is any question it would have been Nebraska winning this game and then winning out. Wins over Miami, Wisconsin and then Minnesota with only one loss at Michigan State. That looks like a half-way decent team to play in the title game.

I still think that Wisconsin is perceived nationally as the better program, even if their resume this year may be a little weaker.

Nebraska is the epitome of what everyone rips the Big Ten for, i.e. "big programs" that win lots of games, but never the big ones.

 

[Ohio]

I'm afraid we are gonna end up 5th in the first year of this stupid 4 team playoff and it is gonna piss me off.
