Oklahoma State - Central Michigan

[Yard Dog]

OSU would be a bedlam win away from the playoff had the rule been properly applied.

I don't think so, they'd still be behind Washington.

Yeah, that Baylor loss is looking worse and worse.

Ostate will be picked on because they're Ostate. Like KSU, no room for error..... and likely, if Baylor had Seth Russell last Saturday...no way Kstate only trails that abysmal half only down 7 points.

you may be right.  but they'd be right there.

Lol, no they wouldn't. They suck, have played nobody good, and are a few bad calls from losing to isu, ksu, ku and pitt, and a bedlam loss from not being bowl eligible.

That's really close, fsd, good point we hadn't thought about that.

This is the same garbage they did last year to get into the Sugar bowl and get embarrassed on New Years bowl by their sucky team.

hey dumbasses (Herr, FSD) --

i'm not saying OSU is some powerhouse team this year.  i'm saying that at 11-1 they'd be in good shape for playoff consideration. 

[catastrophe]

Yea, they would need help but they'd be in the conversation. Surprised (but not really) that the CFP is not treating them like an 11-1 team given the facts.

[catastrophe]

And to clarify, I'm not surprised at all because the CFP's ratings criteria seems to depend entirely on brand recognition.

[DQ12]

i'm not sure they should be treated 11-1 (assuming they beat OU).  their record shows 2 losses.  they didn't raise enough hell about it back in September, though i'm not sure what they could've done.  I still think Gundy should've been more irate in his press conference and during the following week.  osu should've absolutely made a big stink that they're claiming the game as a victory.

[kso_FAN]

I don't know if CFP people look at metrics, but OSU is now #29 in the combined S&P+/FEI ratings. They would move up significantly with a win over OU, but they still seem a long way away from being in the conversation. They seem a lot like the 11 Cats.

thinking about how i'd hypothetically be acting right now if the Cats were in OSU's shoes embarrasses me.  i'd probably have quit my job already and just moved on to whining full time.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

OSU is garbage, lucky as eff to only have 2 losses, and any intimation that they are a CFP team deserves relentless ridicule and message board punishment.

Welp, time to start retro actively ignoring stuff, go full Texas A&M, and start hanging some banners and adding years to signage. 

I declare Michael Bishops fumble ignored and Kstate is awarded the Ed Helm 1998 Big 12 Championship.   

[catastrophe]

The officiating gaffe likely cost the Cowboys a shot to receive serious consideration for the College Football Playoff before their Week 14 loss to the Sooners.

Funny line from the article. "That BS call made us lose our opportunity to get knocked out of CFP consideration after losing to OU."

Yeah, that's pretty weak sauce.
