Everyone else wimps out by not playing everyone in their conference

From what I've seen (including in the old PAC), it is much tougher to play a 9 game conference schedule against every team in your conference than to play 8 of them in the regular season and then win a championship game.

OU could win tomorrow and the following teams would make CCP ahead of them:

it will be close between ND and OU

Texas result will be game breaker IMHO

nashty

11/27/15 10:38pm

Why wasn't it a game breaker last week when they jumped OU ahead of ND?

I thought so too until this Tuesday.

I think the committee hates the independent ND more than the Pseudo conference big 12 'champion'

Why "pseudo"?

No 13th game.

11/27/15 10:51pm

How would a 13th game help when they already play every team in the conference

11/27/15 10:54pm

We are talking about the playoff. Both ND and OU will be looked down on without

But that doesn't make them a "psuedo champion"

Yes.

Everyine else has to put their record on the line for one more game against a quality opponent while the Big12 'champ'

Iowa and MSU eliminate each other.

grosven

11/27/15 10:38pm

Obviously, but either, assuming they win out will get in over OU

nashty

11/27/15 10:39pm

i think OU would beat both, but i agree with this

Flyingdolphin

11/27/15 10:46pm

Only 1 of them. Still 4 teams SHOULD finish ahead of OU.

11/27/15 10:39pm

I agree but the committee apparently doesn't re: ND

rggee

I don't see a way both Iowa and MSU make it in

Countcougula

Can Iowa and MSU both win out? Also, the committee already jumped OU ahead of ND. The Stanford and Okie Lite

I didn't say all the teams on that list could win out I said IF they did they

nashty

Problem is the PAC champ isnt making it this time.

rggee

11/27/15 10:43pm

I think committee will debate a lot a 2-loss Stanford if they can handle top 5

nashty

11/27/15 10:45pm

Over 1 loss OU? I doubt it.

rggee

11/27/15 10:50pm

They may debate, but I don't see them putting a 2-loss PAC team in over a

I just don't see them reversing the ND jump. The Texas game was already out there and it didn't seem to affect them

Sagarin has SOS about even. 29th for ND and 32nd for OU

rggee

11/27/15 11:03pm

Too bad the committee doesn't use Sagarin

Ok.

So wins dont count unless your opponent finishes ranked? They must use SOME

You need to see all sides on this

You mean just the one side, where a bunch of specific & unlikely things happen.

Probably comes down to who looks more impressive tomorrow ND or OU

We all just need to be huge OSU fans tomorrow.

As the collective support of a message board will push the Cowboys to victory!

WhyKnot

But does that just mean Oklahoma State makes the playoff?

mogelijk

11/27/15 11:48pm

I don't think so unless ND loses (which they could).

Countcougula

11/28/15 12:06am

Which is why I think it is an interesting question

Any undefeated P5 conference champ would have to be included even over a royalty

add 1-3 more

Assume OU and ND both win and the committee needs to chose one team between them - there is no way the

Also, ND is hurt by their schedule

29th hardest schedule per sagarin. OU is at 32.

USC win probably better than any Big 12 win. The conference is a joke.

I think Ohio State could still be in that mix, if they win and MSU loses

4mack

11/27/15 11:21pm

Ohio State is done because they can't be Conference champion

? If they win and MSU loses, dont they go to championship
