Just to see some chaos. Michigan beats OSU, but loses to Iowa --or whoever comes out of the West. Has the whole OOC narrative brought back into the conversation. LSU beats Georgia. Let's see a logjam, and watch the committee dance and squirm. Maybe have TCU and USC drop one while we're at it, and have a playoff with like 1 conference champion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Just a quick comparison. Ohio State in 2017 goes into Iowa ranked #3 in the country in the AP and #6 in the CFP and loses by 31. Following the loss, they fell from #3 to #11 in the AP and then from #6 to #13 in the CFP rankings. Tennessee goes into South Carolina ranked #5 in the AP and #5 in the CFP and loses by 25. Following the loss, they've fallen from #5 to #9 in the AP and a yet to be determined spot in the CFP. Both are road conference losses in November. Why does Tennessee only fall 4 spots while Ohio State got punished by falling 8? Both had 2 losses after each blowout. Ohio State's loss prior was to #5 Oklahoma by 15 and had beaten #2 Penn State the week prior by 1. Tennessee's loss prior was to #3 Georgia by 14 and their best win was #3 Alabama by a FG late at the time of the matchups. So a win over LSU, who was 4-2 after said game and weren't the same team they are now is a better secondary win than Ohio State had at that time, so there's that. The next week, Ohio State would go on to dominate #12 Michigan State and pick up wins over #4 Wisconsin and #8 USC to end the year. Just wondering why the double standard? A blowout loss to an unranked conference foe should be treated equally no matter which conference you play in. Tennessee were 22 point favorites going into SCar and lost by 25. Ohio State were 20.5 point favorites and lost by 31. All things considered, they're almost identical failures. Just interesting to me.

It’s going to be worse as the Big 10 leaves ESPN for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same reason if LSU wins the SEC they’ll go but the loser of OSU/UM stays home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 ESPN: If LSU can beat Georgia, we should have three SEC teams in the playoffs. Also ESPN: #2 OSU v. #3 UM is an elimination game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 2 loss LSU with a 24 point loss checks in at 5 ahead of USC and clearly poised to vault the loser of OSU and UM headed into conference title weekend. What a meme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it'll be a ton better when we get to 12 teams. There will be more structure and not as much human influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
