Agreed, but you have to wonder if that’s collateral damage from the whole Coach Prime persona. He talked about laughing his but off last week when his son got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty because “it’s personal.”

And lost.

I tuned in with 27 seconds to go. UH up 35-32 . WV has the ball on their own 40ish. WV has a couple of incomplete passes, then a short pass across the middle and like 40 YAC for a TD. 12 seconds left and the WV QB has a 15 yd unsportsmanlike called on him. WV has to kickoff from the 20 and UH has the ball on their own 45 with 7 seconds left.

One short out pass for about 5 yds to the 50.  3 seconds left, HAIL MARY right to the goal line, tipped ball, TD for the win.  :sdeek:

I don't know what it is about the Gun's media interviews.  Today they asked if the OU game is the most important game this year.  The Gun responded by saying the most important game this year was against K-State.  He is glad that the game is over and was fortunate they played them when they did.  I think he is not as worried about OU as he is about possibly playing K-State in the near future.  :love: :crossfingers:

I think michigan has mostly fans who didn't go to that school and couldn't go to that school, which I think is weird. Ohio state at least gives basic ohio'rs guaranteed entry to one of their versions of ksu-salina and the right to promote after a year, so maybe more fans with a reason to be fans.

I'm quite surprised, I just tuned in to find UO ahead for the first time with the 3rd quarter about over.  They are around 15 sec. left and UW is at the 15-yard line.  So if they don't get in they can kick a FG.

EDIT:  Guess Washington did not try for a FG and are going at it in the 4th.

With only a couple of minutes left, UW is again kicking UO's ass.  The better team has this.  There is no way Oregon
would get in the CFP, and if they did they would be out in the first round and it would look a lot like a Lincoln Reiley-led OU in his 3 CFP games. UW has a good chance of making it past the first round, but I don't know what an SEC team would do to them.

I'm not sure what your watching, but I got the PAC 12 CCG on ABC and UW is kicking UO's ass.  Does anyone else notice how shitty the audio is?  There is so much background noise that I can barely hear the talking heads.  I hope our CCG is of a better quality.
It was a good game an hour ago when I posted that Katpappy you sonofabitch!

Watch your tongue young man; you're too young to call my mom a bitch.  Also, have a little respect for your elders. I'll have you know my mother had been in the ground for 28 years,  RIP

this thing where players wear their football pants tucked up above the knee - is that not just begging to destroy your knee skin?

You would certainly think. I don't know if it's a like for like comparison, but I've noticed some college volleyball players wearing their knee pads below their knee cap. Their knee aren't hitting the ground though because the pad protrudes beyond their knee cap anyway.

I think that's where they're in a pickle of they have to force the SEC in.   They have to drop FSU  2 spots to 6 for beating at top 15 team by 2 scores while simultaneously jumping Alabama 4 spots for beating Georgia.  Or they drop Georgia 5 spots for losing to a top 8 team and still drop FSU a spot for beating at top 15 team by 2 scores.

Georgia has done absolutely nothing on the field, this year, to justify this talking point. Every single other undefeated and one loss power five team has better wins than Georgia does. Georgia's schedule sucks and they should be punished for it. The only question with them is who is #7, Georgia or Ohio State.

I don't think the committee is going to penalize Florida State after they could have earlier this week and didn't. FSU's defense is nasty and, with Rodemaker they are good enough to give it a shot against Michigan or Washington. I think the top 4 will be
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Florida State
5. Alabama
6. Georgia
7. Ohio State
8. Oregon
9. Ole Miss
10. PSU

Alabama v. Fla. St. is the tough one. I don't care which one makes it, but if I had to make an argument, it would be that Alabama is just a better team, and FSU's schedule was weak.

Louisville is a pretty good win. I think if you looked around you'd find the b12's best win (alabama) being so good is an outlier

A road win against a top 5 team is as good of a non con win that a conference could have during any given year. The only comparison I could think of, without looking it up, is when OU and Baker Mayfield won at Ohio State. While the Louisville win is certainly blunted given two things; the win was by the what 8th/9th best team in the SEC, and the team who they are comparing their conference best against, just completely smothered that same Louisville team.

The larger Louisville point is that the SEC has done nothing at all, on the field, to show that they are worthy of ignoring metrics and on field results to jump any other conference champion.

Let's see here... both 1 loss teams. They played each other at a neutral site, and one team won and became SEC champions. Wow! I think I figured it out! C'mon, mich.
How do you justify bama over fsu?

Alabama v. Fla. St. is the tough one. I don't care which one makes it, but if I had to make an argument, it would be that Alabama is just a better team, and FSU's schedule was weak.
Florida State beat LSU

FSU gets left out because making FSU mad is much easier to handle than making the entire SEC mad.

Don't get me wrong, MIR. I'd love to see the SEC get shut out, and that's what is probably just. Regarding L'ville, is Plummer their QB1? If so, I wasn't impressed. No pocket mobility. Slow af. Just stands there like a statue.

Could we mollify the SEC by selling them on the idea that Texas is basically SEC, now?

True, but will the tv money be there?

rough ridin' nuts. Why did they not penalize them last week but did this week? Makes zero sense. Also they can't make the best team argument while moving Alabama ahead of FSU but moving Georgia behind them. This was simply putting an SEC team in the four.

I think the committee had to face a very real question: which fan base would be most likely to attempt to assassinate us if we left them out? For that reason I think bama was an obvious choice. Don't get me wrong, being a committee member is a cushy gig, but these people did not enlist in the Marines. And if you're not in the armed forces I think you have a reasonable expectation of being able to do your job without someone killing you because of it

There is no auto bid for the Big 12 per se.  The top 5 ranked conference champs get a bid. Effectively its an automatic bid, but if we had a 3 loss champ, we may not get a bid if two lower conferences had champs that ran the table

If it's just about the broken leg, you tell us what changed between now and then? Their defense completely shutting down a previously top 25 offense made them a worse selection?

Not including a team because one person broke their leg, in game 11 instead of game 9 is insane.

They literally make up something every year when they leave someone out, and it's never consistent. Pointing out an injury as the reason is just awful. They should shift the blame to the fans. Tell them it's because not enough of them watch the games.

Yep, the reasons are never the same. They left out the Big 12 one year because of the lack of a championship game, and dropped FSU spots this year after winning a championship game vs a team that is as good as anyone Bama beat.

He said several contradictory things. Corrigan also literally said they took Liberty over SMU because Liberty went 13-0 and SMU lost to OU and TCU.

The people who choose to be the chairs of these committees are sadists. You have to go on national television and have to justify and be the face and voice of some crap you probably don't even believe in. It's even worse for Corrigan, in this case, because he's got to deal with these people at conference meetings and even the commissioner released a statement dragging the eff outta him.

There was a pretty good quote from Bowden about how the FSU administration chose the ACC over the SEC to avoid having to "wade through that SEC" every year that came up recently.  It's going back to well before anything they did this season, but that stands out as something FSU could have done differently to better be in a situation for a 4-team playoff (crystal ball would have been necessary in the early 90s but still, that was a choice they made). 

I don't really have strong feelings one way or another about FSU, but the conscious decision to take the low road regarding conference affiliation coming back to bite them in the last possible year of the 4-team playoff (and possibly accelerating the unraveling of the ACC as a consequence of this year's field excluding an unbeaten FSU) gives me a giggle.
Title: Re: 2023 other games thread
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on December 04, 2023, 05:48:38 PM
FSU wouldn't be FSU without all of the games that Bowden won there. They still benefit more today from those national championships than they would from being in the SEC.
