And the committee chose Ohio State because
- Thread starter ga.lion
- Start date
Listen you f'ing moron - daO$U is the first 3rd place Conference finisher, first team without a Conference Championship, to participate and they played just like a 3rd Place Conference finisher.... BTW, you are factually full of $hit that meat-chicken has remotely the credentials PSU does @sshole! scUM finished 3rd in the B1G East Division - PSU won the B1G East Division Championship and represented the Division in the B1G Conference Championship Game. PSU won the B1G Conference via best outright record (9-1, SCUM was an also ran tied for 4th at 7-2). PSU won B1G Conference Championship Game....scUM won precisely no Championships or trophies including losing their Bowl Game to a 2nd ten ranked team LMFAO!
It's okay to admit the committee got it wrong. Answer me this....if they would have put Penn State in and Penn State would have gotten crushed by Clemson 31-0, what would everyone say? They would say PSU should not have been in there and OSU should have. So why is it wrong to say it when it happens the other way around?
yes, but lost two other games. mich killed psu head to head and had one other close loss to a very good team. you are so big on head to head, i would think you would say mich deserves a playoff more than you.
pac12 is not nobody. they are legit teams. your conf is doing terrible right now so dont talk about uw playing nobody. your conf is playing like nobody right now.
Actually, we're big on conference championships....of which Michigan won zero.
It's pathetic. The committee screws up and picks OSU. OSU gets crushed, and the moronic trolls show up here. They should be on the OSU board. I'm done engaging them. It's almost 2017, OSU lost, and I am one happy man. F the trolls, F OSU, and F the Big Ten. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yes, because bowls are such an accurate measurement of an entire season. How many home bowl games do Big 10 teams play?
uw belonged in the playoff. they played bama tough. they had some costly turnovers but were in the game until the 4th.
it is both record and strength of schedule. that is why w mich cant get in and why 2 loss teams who get blown out cant get in.
Deserve means nothing. All P5 conference champions should be in, with 3 wild card teams. The five champions should be seeded, then the 3 wild cards seeded below them, with the top four having home games, regardless of site or weather. The next round is the bowls played today. Then the title game.
By the way, 3 teams played today as conference champions, one did not.
So UW belonged because they played Bama tough but OSU belonged because of why they were picked even though they got boat raced....okay, I see.
This, I like! tOSU did lose to Clemson head to head, but so what? They are obviously the better team, and deserve to go on to the championship game.
true. they are not the only measure. but they do tell some things about how good a conf is. and if home games dont count then we can erase your osu win. sorry, all games count. if you want to prove your team and conf is better, then sometimes you have to do it on the road.
no. uw is better than usc. we played a good game that one night. uw is a better overall team probably. but our qb is insanely good.
It's really simple. Wisconsin then Penn State and then again Michigan exposed JT Barrett as not a very good quarterback. Then Iowa, Ohio State and Florida State exposed Speight as not a very good quarterback. This is still football and you still can't win without a good quarterback.
If Urbie didn't have Tebow and Cardale Jones, maybe he's not the Urbie we know now. If Hairball didn't have Luck, he may have been very unlucky.
Thank god we have Trace McSorley and no matter what the talent level difference may or may not be with USC, we have a very good chance of winning. We'd also have a very good chance of winning against anyone. Unlike Ohio State and Michigan,

Yes we got smoked for sure and were not ready for prime time at the big house early in the year, however your conveniently over looking the fact that we were playing not only with some major injuries to both offense and defensive starters but our starting QB was in his fourth start on the road in the Big House no less. I would wager that if we play them now WE WIN! How you finish the season SHOULD count and DID count in the past but was ignored THIS YEAR. So you were saying?
But the Big 10 has to do it in every bowl game they're in. Also, different conferences have different matchups. The SEC and Big 10 always have the toughest matchups because they get in the higher ranked bowls and they don't play AAC and MAC teams like other conferences do. The Big did really well in bowls last year but the conference wasn't nearly as strong as it was this year.
i can agree with your post. psu is much improved. but i dont think they are quit as good as the top 5 or 6 teams. we will find out monday.
So now we should put a third place team in lot the playoffs? Think about what you're saying.
some truth to your post. i get it. but big 10 fans/psu fans are acting like their conf is vastly superior to other conferences. and they are not. right now they kind of look like the weakest big conf.
no, you should have been behind a team with a better all around resume. you cant change the criteria to suit your needs.
They finished in third place...no "resume" makes that better. Have you ever played a sport in your life?
So a win over Indiana and North Carolina and the PAC 12 are world beaters?
no. we are an average conf this yr. i said that before. but i dont act like the pac12 is the dominant conf this yr. psu fans do.
i think if USC played Washington again, USC would win again. What do you think?
Regardless of who you think they should have beaten, Indiana lost 7 games. And Bloomington isn't exactly a hostile environment. The crowds at Memorial Stadium tend to be split 50/50 depending on who the opponent is.
The Indiana game is a terrible example. We lost 2 OL starters in that game and were literally down to 1 OL starter who actually started the year and we had 2 freshman starters to begin with! We were surviving in that game.
