Why? Surrendering 100 points collectively to umd and Purdue (one of which was a 29 point loss) is why.
How could they justify OSU jumping OU based on yesterday’s outcome?
And Army took Oklahoma to OT. There are pros and cons for all teams. Who the heck did Clemson beat this year?
That is the same logic that screwed us in 94 when we would have curbed stomped most teams. A win is a win is a win.
Also “Urban Meyer places emphasis on conference titles” as reason da OSU should get in.... yeah, when it’s convenient for his smarmy ass
But surrendering 189 in a 4 game stretch is fine (if we’re cherry picking stats)?
I agree. By their own rankings, OU beat a better Texas team than OSU vs Northwestern yesterday. No way they should jump them based on yesterday.

If osu gets in, the fact that Gene Smith is on the selection committee needs to be looked at. Talk about a shady dude representing shady skool
Good point, and seemingly completely overlooked in the conversation. Big, bad Clemson's toughest games were Texas A&M, Syracuse, NC State and BC. And their conference showdown against 7-5 Pitt. Whoopie.
At least they beat Maryland two years in a row, unlike Oklahoma's mighty opponent Texas, who was physically and athletically dominated by Maryland twice.
The Big 12 went 1-3 against the Big Ten with their only win over mighty Rutgers.
Two-digit numbers? Percentages? Herbie is challenged to get to three.
i think that loss does, and similar to last year with their Iowa loss. look at the "game control" metric. the guy who leads the committee spoke about that quite at length. they do not like teams that need to screw around into the 4th qtr putting the marginals away. they want to see those games turn into a non-contest by HT. even some blowouts by teams where all the scoring comes in the 4th qtr might have a low game control metric.
You can never underestimate the ability of college football to create a stupid idea/system, and then try and make it into a science.
this whole thing is ruining the enjoyment of it for me.....I honestly would like to just explode the whole system.....there's too much money in it for that happen so I'll probably just continue to back slowly away from what used to be one of my favorite sports
