If OSU had beaten Oregon

It comes down to number 4 if all 3 finish 12-0 and no one played each other.

1 is out
2 is even because they all finished undefeated.
3 is even because they all finished undefeated.
4 settles it.

PSU: ILL, UCLA,USC,WIS,OSU,WAS,PUR,MIN,MD
Ore: UCLA, MSU, OSU, PUR, ILL, mich, MD, WIS, WAS
Ind: UCLA,MD,NW,NEB,WAS,MSU,mich,OSU,PUR

Common opponents don't really matter since they cancel out:

PSU: ILL, WIS, WAS USC, MIN
Ore: ILL, WIS, WAS, mich, MSU
Ind: NW, NEB, WAS, mich, MSU

NW is probably going to sink Indiana if it comes down to it.
Nice work!
Yeah, we're looking good in that scenario. Northwestern does do a lot of damage.

Penn State vs Pitt in playoffs!

Pitt could win the ACC and get an automatic bid. We get I. With one lose, win first game and play Pitt at one of the NY6 bowls.

Worse. Pitt gets in with one loss and gets a home playoff game and we play them at Acrisure/Steelers stadium. Imagine what a crazy game atmosphere that would be!
If Pitt wins the ACC and are the 3/4 seed I would absolutely love being the 5 or 6 seed and playing them in the second round. Almost a perfect scenario for us.

If OSU had beaten Oregon

We don't know yet...that's a complicated tiebreaker

  1. The tied teams will be compared based on head-to-head matchups during the regular season.
  2. The tied teams will be compared based on record against all common conference opponents.
  3. The tied teams will be compared based on record against common opponents with the best conference record and proceeding through the common conference opponents based on their order of finish within the conference standings.
  4. The tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents.
  5. The representative will be chosen based on the highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the regular season.
  6. The representative will be chosen by random draw among the tied teams conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

Marcus Blaze thread

When he commits to PSU, will I have to read it here, or will there be a new thread? It'd be so much easier if it was its own thread.
It will be a new thread titled, "Blaze is coming to Penn State!" which will include multiple posts by the OP on why they can't reveal their sources or when the commitment will occur, how they don't want to steal the spotlight from Blaze and how you can take their scoop to the bank since their insider status is impeccable!

If OSU had beaten Oregon

Look at the context. They beat the #1 team on the road by 15 and it honestly felt like more.

I think we would have to win by a similar amount for it to be possible, but I'm still not sure just how probable it actually is.
I think if we beat Georgia we go to #2. Georgia is only up by 49 & 50 votes respectively in the 2 polls. That can close very quickly.
Our resume is the biggest issue right now with our only ranked win being #24 Illinois at home. Not even sure who our second best win is? USC I guess but that Maryland loss hurts. Beating Ohio State is the hurdle most voters don't think we can get over.

PRIBULA!!!!

Apparently the wife wanted you to post on this board in the summer, too ... since you were here all the time. And in the spring.

But this is just what you do in the fall. Summer. Spring. Winter. All the other times are special times with the imaginary wife.
All the time? lol
Imaginary wife? See how desperate you are?
Just because you're unloved doesn't mean I am.

Senior Worlds (non Olympic weights) - October 28-31, 2024

Without results at the weight? Kinda difficult.

If we find that they tampered or whatever: tar and feather 'em. But this American "they're cheating us" attitude to everything in the international styles is played out. I absolutely think there has been corruption in the past. They started these ranking series tournaments to help the draws... The athletes didn't take advantage, or they recently changed weights.

And I wake up with a tin foil hat on most days, but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy against America on the World Wrestling stage.

I can't believe I'm being reasonable right now, either.

No, I wasn't wrong about the press conference, as I've already stated. He did nothing wrong. But the media folks cried because they didn't get their way and so he smartly played the game, just took the bullet and moved on. His initial actions were correct. There was nothing wrong with them. It was basically the media asserting its power and trying to mini-cancel him because they didn't get their soundbyte of "I have no comment on the matter that is an active legal situation involving folks no longer on our squad."

Why are you trying to change the subject just to try to get a win? It's because you know how embarrassingly wrong you were here.

It's funny to watch you freak out when you're wrong. You try to flex ... but it's so silly. It's like the kid who destroyed on the playground walking away crying, and shouting that he's so much more super awesome than all those idiots who destroyed him. You started yapping about fake 20K bets, and how you know the game, and hardly anyone else does ... lol. It's tragically funny. You're supposed to be a grown man and you're acting like you're 8.
You were wrong. Hence the apology. The apology wasn't about the actions of others but the horrible advice Franklin was given. The fact you still can own that the reporters did their job properly is just predictable.
What was I wrong about? I'm wrong at times and, unlike you own it.

The ranking point format is idiocy. Let's seed them with common sense.
How hard is it? Lol
