They would lean hard on “Ped State” references as it is their MO on NDNation and such - totally ignoring centuries of their beloved church burying reports of predation and protecting pederast priests
Initial CFP rankings out tonight

I can see your point of view, especially on CCG losers, but I think there’s going to be more chaos that will affect teams in front of Penn State, I just hope it doesn’t involve Penn State!
The Big 12 may or may not get 1 team. Again, things change as wins and losses accumulate. As some of these teams lose, the committee will reassess. An undefeated BYU losing to Iowa St. in the CCG may look different to them if we eat shit against some middling Big 18 squad.
SMU/Miami definitely DOES hurt us. In my scenario, SMU jumps us, and Miami stays above us. No, weren't not necessarily fine with 2 ACC teams.
ND is 10th ... and you provided absolutely no logic to support the assertion a 1-loss ND will stay behind a 2-loss PSU. You're talking about one of the biggest brands in CFB (if not the biggest), with 1 loss, that occurred in week 2.

A Meatchicken win is definitely more important ... but I'm extremely concerned about how a late season loss moves the needle against PSU, so I'm not dismissing anyone in sniffing distance as legit options to push us out of a spot. Theoretically, if BYU looks good the rest of the regular season, and SMU wins out and takes the ACC (thereby making BYU's win against SMU look even better), but BYU slips up in the CCG ... I don't want to leave it to chance against a 2-loss PSU squad that got wrecked by the Gophers ... or the Terps ... or whoever. What looks one way now, could look different in a month.
We won’t get to 5 seed b/c we’re not going to be #2 in our own conference.
A Texas loss to A&M prob moves us up to #6… unless TN wins out. If TN wins out, they jump us.
Still looking good for a home playoff game. Just win out. And Ohio St beat Indiana.

The Big XII isn't getting 2 teams--today proved that--see where BYU was ranked undefeated with wins over SMU and K-State--the committee doesn't value the Big XII
SMU/Miami being ahead of us keeps us in the top 12
Penn State will be ahead of ND--run the predictor. This isn't about brand. Losing to NIU isn't going to be forgotten. NIU is 1-3 in MAC play. 1-3.
You reference "some middling Big 18 squad" and think that's a bigger deal than NIU. The loss to Ohio State is basically irrelevant given how they view them.
Your stance was that we're guaranteed to make the college playoff with 2 losses.
You haven't presented any evidence to support this assertion.
You've suddenly started relying on the "predictor," as if that was the end-all, be-all.
The predictor shows only a 58% probability of PSU making the playoff with a loss to Minny. 58% is substantially less than 100%, so you've been proven wrong, by your own flawed metric. Nice going.
Here's another lil tidbit ... no matter which team PSU loses to, in each scenario, ND ends up being a higher seed than PSU. So, you were DOUBLY wrong.
I guess now we see why you never attempt to support your extremist claims. When you do, they blow up in your face.
Of course, the predictor doesn't allow you to "predict" contingent probabilities of the specific successes or failures of other teams ... but ... dang ... you just blew yourself up. Nice going.
My heads hurts from your nonsense. 100% lock at 10-2 that we're in. Tonight proved that with us ahead of Tennessee BYU Indiana and Notre Dame.
The % isn't relevant. The results are. See Oregon at 96% when we all know they're in.
You know if we go 10-2 we're in but you started the argument and can't back down now.
How about if Penn State never gets that second loss, you leave the board? And I don’t mean another new name, but actually leave forever? Your act is really annoying!
Definitely. These committees have always tried to play with criteria to justify things when finally last year they straight up dropped FSU because "we don't think they are 4th without their QB".
The one advantage we have is we'll probably be favored over most of the questionable teams and that could be enough to keep us in even with 2 losses.
The % isn't relevant?!?! WTactualF?!?
The issue is whether we are in no matter what, or whether we could miss out with 2 losses. And the predictor gives us only an 8% better chance than a coin flip ... AND it shows Notre Dame being ahead of us in each scenario.
Mommy needs to take your phone away from you.
This may be the post that gets you on ignore, finally.
Oh good--apparently you have to change usernames yet you think I'm the one that needs my phone taken away from me.
What’s my act, lil guy? Not buying into conspiracies about Travis Kelce being gay?!
You're a frigging douchebag, and since nobody in your real-world orbit will even talk to you at this point, strangers on the internet are forced to scroll past every stupid thought that exits your pea brain and makes its way to your fingers. You clearly have multiple obsessive disorders, and you are stuck on repeat. I also suspect that you have more than one account just to keep a conversation going with yourself for no reason beyond trying to annoy innocent bystanders.
Penn State is not losing another regular season game, and even if they do, others would too, and such a high initial ranking means that they will make the playoffs. Please stop clogging up the board with your mental masturbation and go start a blog to spew all of your nonsense. I will not be reading any of it, but maybe one person on Earth will.
We look to be headed for #7 if we win out. If Indiana goes undefeated then we drop to #8. I think a 2 loss OSU with the head to win over us gets the better seed.
I want to see Indiana at least beat a bad Michigan team before we start thinking they can beat Ohio State
You seem sane.
Psst … lil guy … I’m a leading proponent of the idea that PSU won’t lose another regular season game this year. You dummy. There are a good number of folks running around this board screaming that we're going to lose to Wash, or Minny, or both ... I'm not one of those guys. This is just about the reality that IF we somehow lose another game, it's not a sure thing we make the playoff. Seems reasonable (unlike your crazed tirade). And it is. Because it's true.
But I also don’t think the Kelce Bros are gay and Taylor Swift is just a beard … unlike you. Because you’re sane.

You believe the 6th ranked team can't lose again if they want to be assured a playoff spot when it's likely a 3 loss team finds a way in but attack others for lack of sanity. Smart
Everyone needs to get over it, if we do get in do you really think we will win? James will find a way to blow another one
