Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs

I've hardly paid any attention to these games, as they've been boring. We are watching Tenn vs tOSU right now - maybe it'll get better.

Boise State is going to get run over next week, I think. I think ASU *may* have a chance against Texas, though.
 
Over the past 2 weeks I've realized how big the Michigan game is to tOSU fans and it's far more than I imagined. They did a feature on GameDay this morning and a fan was asked how big winning the national championship would be and he said it would have an asterisk due to the Michigan loss. Bizarre

When you consider how dominant Ohio State was in that series, especially under Tressel and Meyer, up until the recent swing it must be difficult to come to terms with it if you just didn't know otherwise. Up until the recent swing there were 25-30 year olds or so who just didn't know what losing that game was like because Ohio State only lost it like every 10 years and it was a given that they were gonna win for most of their life where they were able to consciously follow things.

For the first 20-25 years of my life the position of Pope was synonymous with John Paul II. The Pope was JP2 and the Pope was JP2, I just didn't know it could be any different because I'd never really seen it and I guess the same holds true for some OSU fans with the Michigan rivalry.
 
Hopefully this ends up being the first double loss in college football history.
What?
If you believe they are better than Bama but they are a weak ass team in the top 12, then how do you reconcile lobbying for Bama to be in?
He can’t, it’s the classic SEC fallacy. They talk themselves in circles trying to show that the SEC is better than all others but eventually they disprove themselves.

I think there are several teams better than Clemson, SMU, Boise, ASU and Indiana, and it’s not limited to one conference.

The best 12 are not in the playoff. The playoff is too big at 12. Changes will be made.

Maybe! But at some point you have to win some football games
 
It’s a key term. And correct the way many are using it. I’ll say cherry picked single games from now forward.
It was a rhetorical statement. There is a better thread for this discussion than the one specifically for the actual play going on in the bowl games.
 
I have. Power ratings, SoS and to a certain degree SoR.
None of that matters, at all IMO.

Only what happens on the field.

Don't lose to 6-6 teams.

There's no data that can account for good Jalen Milroe vs bad Jalen Milroe showing up.

Also...would you acknowledge that on a given day SMU, Clemson, ASU could beat Bama as well given the fact that those three teams are almost certainly better than Oklahoma or Vandy on a given day?
