Spartica4Real Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I guess this is what happens when you lose by over 30 to Iowa. Every outcome is good now. We get Clemson/Bama III and Clemson vs either of OU/UGA would be incredible games. Bama/OU would be even better. Bama/UGA would be worth for the salt of an all SEC Natty again.

Every Saturday has to matter. Their point is don't schedule any tough game that isn't required because it can only hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the point, theoretically, then UCF would be in. (I think they should, to be honest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Alabama did at least try to schedule a tough game. There's no point in scheduling tough OOC games anymore. All it can do is hurt you.

If Ohio State had lost to a tough opponent and now Iowa, I think this argument would be valid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you additionally, lose to a bad team, it will hurt you. In the 4 years, the committee has proven that they are willing to overlook a loss to a quality opponent. But they won't overlook a bad loss to a bad team. The incentive to schedule good teams is still very much there. They are just emphasizing that you can't have a bad loss like this and expect to have that ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had scheduled a no one and beaten them by 50 instead of scheduling and losing to Oklahoma, you don't think that would have made the difference?

No I don't think that would have made the difference because losing by 30+ to Iowa was the difference maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point in taking the risk. The committee hasn't shown they are willing to overlook a loss ever. Which is why it has always been whoever is undefeated + 1 loss teams.

I mean obviously there's no way to know, but that extra loss killed Ohio State. If they didn't have it then I think they make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
