have PSU ranked #5 with a record of 11-2. Don't those bozos know the Rose Scrimmage doesn't count? The colossal stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

They actually dropped us a spot from their final regular season ranking.

Not that surprising given that the CFP are supposed to be the top 4 teams. Nice to land in that #5 spot though - for those of us who believe the athletic contest in Pasadena actually was a "game."
:p

Yeah, they dropped us a spot for winning a scrimmage but you would have had to comprehend something simple--when you try to claim other people are stupid look in the mirror next time.

Again, it had no impact on the ranking--the only change was TCU jumped us.

Point of clarification. You aren't stupid, just the most persistent person on planet Earth. Clearly, to state the things you do so confidently - meaningless scrimmages except for CFP, getting swag, blah blah blah - you must have spoken to every involved party to know their opinion.

My uninformed opinion would be that some (many?) players place great meaning on the game - it certainly looked like that given what I saw on Monday.

Further, my opinion, having not talked to every single person like you did, would be that recruits might also place some meaning on seeing a program they are thinking of joining play in a classic venue like the Rose Bowl.

I suppose you must have run out of time to talk to all the media people who foolishly have PSU's record at 11-2. I'm sure in time you'll get around to it and have things corrected.

You started a thread to attack me without actually reading what you posted because then you would have realized us winning changed nothing with the rankings you apparently care about.

The media has us at 11-2 because they promote the bowls--that's how they make money

What was the meaning of the Rose Bowl? The actual meaning not "they tried" so it counts.

okin, no biggie. commado cody suffers from cosell syndrome i.e. smartest guy in the room, is always right, and has to have the last word.

He had no idea h2h results were part of the playoff criteria, explicitly said it wasn’t used iirc. Not sure he’s touched anything black and white since.

Truth. Imagine being his kid. "Dad, I got an A on my math test!" LC replies "It's meaningless. In the grand scheme you didn't graduate from Harvard."

They're only used when teams are comparable which is the part you left out

Not the smartest guy (well maybe here) and I'm one of the few who admita when he's wrong. The issue is the majority won't. Most here want to believe our lack of success is due to the Big Ten hating us, the refs cheating, other programs cheating, etc instead of dealing with the reality of our situation. It's sad and predictable.

I love that a thread was started to criticize me by someone who didn't even realize the poll supports my stance and I'm the problem. Just proves my point.

:p
exhibition games are "games." No one ever suggested otherwise. It's just has no objective purpose as it relates to athletic outcomes. This is why some players prioritize an attempt to shave .001 second off their 40 time vs playing in any of the post season exhibition games, but not a single one did for the post season games that have an objective purpose.
If you disagree, feel free to state the purpose of what the Rose Bowl meant to any objective outcome in college football this season. Not a single person making snarky comments like yours has offered anything other than insults.
