Of their offensive strength. 0 for Ohio State. Lol
And the committee chose Ohio State because
- Thread starter ga.lion
- Start date
only one loss vs UM and PSU with 2.
PSU loss to UMich was a blowout that was always brought up. little mention of the fact that UM scored last 3 TDs in the game and were trying to run it up against a PSU DEF that had lost a bunch of players esp LBs
tOSU had the road win v OU.
tOSU beat UMich
tOSU loss to PSU was referred to as fluke - meaning that PSU would not beat tOSU many times in a series of 10 games.
there may be others but these were repeated multiple times
Convinced me tonight that they belonged.... lol
Rebuttal: PENN STATE, B1G CHAMPIONS
daO$U finished 2nd in B1G East Division and 3rd in overall B1G Conference....too funny, you seem to have just skipped those OBJECTIVE FACTS readily available to the Committee.
What do you think this does for Ohio states championship hopes? Think Delaney could get them into the final game? Their resume is so good still!
And you keep ignoring the OBJECTIVE FACT that conference and division titles are based on 75% of the regular season while playoff selection criteria includes 100% of the regular season.
Don't yell at us. For over 50 years I've listened to how important winning the Big Ten was every season. Those two bullies, Hayes and Schembechler would always preach it before going to Pasadena and being bitch slapped. Now, it doesn't matter. F&CK YOU!
Wrong dip$hit, in its 3 years daO$U is the only team of 12 without a Conference Championship.....and they just laid a complete turd getting beat 31-0...gaining only 215 yards to Clemson's 470 yards....etc..
Winning the Big Ten is important if you want to go to Pasadena. Not losing a non-conference game to Pitt is important if you want to play for the crystal trophy.
Delaney needs to shrivel up and go away.
How many of those 12 teams had two regular season losses? How many of those 12 teams lost two regular season games, including one by 39 points?
There is one objective fact that should not be ignored....WE BEAT OSU HEAD TO HEAD.
And Pitt beat you head to head. And Michigan beat the shit out of you head to head.
Head to head mattered when deciding the B1G East champion because you had identical conference records. Head to head doesn't matter when choosing a playoff team because Ohio State had a better overall record.
No team that lost to Pitt should play for the crystal trophy. Oh, that would knock Clemson out...
So that's the "objective" facts that got their agenda this year...it hasn't been in the past. But if that's the case, then why did Washington get in when 100% of their season involved playing pretty much nobody?
Absurd. If overall record is the criteria, where is Western Michigan? All the Committe did was encourage candy ass non conference games
Then Michigan should have been in ahead of Penn State since Michigan blasted Penn State head to head. Hell, Pitt should have been in since they beat both Clemson and Penn State.
Western Michigan didn't play a single Top 40 team. You only make yourself look stupid when you trot them out as an example.
Apparently it should have been a number of teams other than Ohio State.
Dude, look at the committee criteria and come back when you understand it.
The arrogance is staggering. YOU LOST THIRTY-ONE TO ZERO AND EMBARASSED YOURSELF ON NATIONAL TV AND YOU ARE STILL SCHILLING FOR THE SUCKEYES!!!
I've said all along that if you guys have a beef it should be with Washington and not Ohio State. My guess is the committee wasn't going to take 2 B1G teams and leave the Pac-12 out two years in a row.
PSU beat OSU head to head. Then won the Big Ten ahead of OSU and Michigan. And Pitt lost five games and finished unranked. You're welcome.
I DIDN'T LOSE THIRTY-ONE TO ZERO AND I'M SIMPLY EXPLAINING WHY THE COMMITTEE CHOSE OHIO STATE OVER PENN STATE.
Maybe they should have taken Colorado since taking second place teams is all the rage nowadays.
You are the one who focused on record, not strength of schedule. I used it to point out the absurdity of your argument, but it went over your head. No surprise there. You can have the final word. It will not be worth a response.
You're either conference champion or you are not. It is first criteria to getting there. Ahia State didn't win a division of it's conference.
You don't even realize you're undermining your own argument. You lost to a team that lost 5 games and finished unranked and you got shit-stomped by the team that finished third in your division.
And for some reason you think you got jobbed by the selection committee.
Someone ban this turd.
Won the last nine in a row after early season setbacks with injuries. Conference champ! In addition got better after each game since the early season loss. Neither Michigan nor OSU can claim that. Put that in your pipe and smoke it
