See, you can't just STFU... you just cant do it. Because you're a loser troll. And you are the OP on this thread, so don't play the victim now and say others started this re: WVU. Christ, if PSU beats Ohio St you will downplay it as a down year for OSU and really proves nothing.
No, playing at Auburn does not get way more credit UNLESS they are a good team. Was Illinois a tough road trip?
No I won't. Beating Ohio State is is moving towards being elite. Pretending WVU is good isn't.
So you created this thread entirely so you could argue. Why do you have such a hard on against WVU?
It's 100% objective. Has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Auburn
Because they're a horrible team and people refuse to acknowledge it. I'd be making the same argument if I was a Michigan fan and people were telling me anyone they've played this year is good.
Again, where did I say Auburn was good? Winning at Auburn this year will be more favorably viewed by the committee than beating Iowa at home as of today. If Auburn loses out or Iowa wins 10 that likely changes. Do you disagree with that?
Didn't you tell us the best thing to happen to WVU was Greene getting injured? That's pretty clearly not the case.
Winning at Auburn is bigger than at home against Iowa. Never said it Auburn was good. Not once.
Oh it's 100%the case. Did you watch thr game? Down 28-24 he overthrew his TE and missed an easy pass in the flat to a wide open back the resulted in a punt. Houston scored to make it 35-24 and then he threw what should have been a pick against a prevent defense before piling up yardage against a "prevent to lose defense" then when they score he takes off his helmet further costing his team the game. Greene is awful. This is one of those situations where people look at stats without any knowledge of the game and look foolish. Numbers are often misleading.
I did watch the game. Maybe you haven't watched other games. Last week Marchiol had 78 yds passing, two interceptions and a QBR of 42.
Because they don't believe that--we've never seen an undefeated P5 from the ACC/Big XII be compared to a 12-1 SEC team?
They didn't play last week. Greene played 2 weeks ago. How many losses did they have with Greene out? Does none sound correct? If you want to go with Greene is the better option that's great. We can disagree. Greene will always cost his team games--always. His immaturity did yesterday. Do you want your QB to be a guy that costs you 15 yards then is running along the stands waiving goodbye to the crowd with time left or would you play the backup?
When have we seen that? Honestly, maybe I'm forgetting something but I don't recall a 12-1 SEC team ever being left out for anyone.
That was an insanely stupid penalty - I have seen that a few times come back to bite a team in the ass - just dumb and he cost his team the game - would have been hard to launch a hail mary starting at the 25 and even gaining a few yards on the first play.
Houston was up 35-24 then went conservative (prevent) but it was WVU that gave it away?
Watched the second half and there was definitely a lot of action. WVU defense struggled to stop the UH qb who was hitting on all cylinders. I really think WVU could have taken control if the RB (I think) out of the backfield converted the INT into a TD. The defender didnt even do much on the INT...more or less WVU guy bobbled it up in the air high and long enough someone showed up to catch it. I really didnt think the 15 yd penalty would come back to bite them. Greene had a great game and let his emotions overtake him.
YES!
TOP is one of the most meaningless stats in football
So, we're ignoring them being down 35-24 and Houston dropping a pick that literally ends it half way through the 4th?
They absolutely were in a prevent defense on the second to last drive. They were playing a safe 2 deep without bringing any pressure unlike their standard defense.
It wasn't a pure cover two--they were 10 yards off trying to get them to run time of the clock hoping it was a long drive if they scored. 100% prevent defense. I mean, Texas Tech out up 49 against them--they didn't change scheme because it wasn't working. Houston did score after an INT and punt isn't that what you're supposed to do? Houston had an easy pick on the last drive that you watched that ends the game with them up 11, right?
The game shouldn't have been played anyway. Neither team can win the NC so it was nothing more than a glorified exhibition.
Never said they shouldn't play but yes that game is meaningless on a national level. One of the main reason expanded playoffs are needed.
What's the meaning behind the game? Get to a meaningless bowl game?
