2016 NCAA football discussion thread

Jimbo using homer glasses.

Final 4 should be:

Alabama
Clemson
Washington
Penn St (BEAT URBAN CRYER)

BTW, have Jimbo and DVR ever heard of multi quote??? Sheesh.

And yet they weren't good enough to win their conference.

Same thing with TCU a couple years ago. Be interesting to see what the committee does, based on what they did to TCU back then in favor of squeezing Ohio State in.

Ohio State bias in the committee?

btw, great comeback by Penn State. By virtue of conference title and head to head win, they should get the spot over Ohio State.

So..they won their conference at least.
I'm sure that if OSU goes over Penn St then there will be some crap hitting the fan and I hope it stirs some talks to get something in writing about conf title holders or increase the number to 8 in the playoffs to include all those winners and next top 3 in polls.

As for VT now... here comes a sh!tty bowl game in Florida again prob Russel athletic or citrus which is STUPID when they just played in Florida.
Saw a ESPN right up about the ACC title game move and everyone that commented was against the move and it should have stayed in NC..I would have been there had it been in NC.
Would have been nice if they stuck with the runner up of the ACC title game getting the Orange bowl since Clemson is going on to playoff. Wanted to see that VT vs Michigan rematch.

You complain about another game in Florida, yet you wanted the Orange Bowl???

You got to remember, this is not the same committee that took TCU out, they change many of the people involved every couple of years and the last year's don't really effect the current one.

I really think the committee Wants Ohio State in, they have been punting them up for the last month, giving the impression that Bama and OSU are in for sure.

Penn State is on quite a roll, for those that haven't been paying attention.
Ohio State has not played their best of late, they've played and won the games they had too.
Clemson and Ohio State are very simular, both have played great at times and both have Not played great at times.

There is a very good article in the Cleveland paper today going over all of the potential playoff contenders ... I am on my tablet so I can't post a link, maybe I'll get it later, it was very good.

Penn State vs Washington, who would win ?

One thing that may hurt Ohio State is the fact that many remember the last thing they see, with Ohio State not playing That may hurt them.

We shall see what happens at noon today.

One thing for sure, many will be happy, and others will Not be, with the current set up, your guaranteed that every year, that's part of what the committee wants, it keeps the College Football in the front of all conversations because some one got left out.

I think OSU should be in because I do think they are one of the top four teams. However, Penn state has been playing better ball late, and did win head to head, plus they did have an extra game and won the conference.

OSU having a week off could be a big minus for them.

I know they are ranked second currently but that does not mean they will stay there, and honestly I do not expect them too even if they make they playoffs. Third or out is my guess.

And third it is

 

[satjay]

Will be interesting for sure around 12:30 to see who is in and for a network that needs ratings, this has all worked perfectly for ESPN

Who of these teams can play with Bama ?

This depends on which team shows up, but if the Buckeyes team that played against Oklahoma, then Yes they can hang with and beat Bama.
However, you never know till you get there.
Buckeyes Defense is right up there and will keep them in any game ...
Thing I'm loving is the team is mostly young and getting better .
Next year will be better yet.

same rules though. And I wouldnt discount Penn St losing to Pitt, as Ohio State's loss 2 years ago was to VPI, so both had bad losses. And TCU's single loss in 2014 was a close one to highly ranked Baylor, while Ohio St's was to eventual unranked 7-6 VPI.
Ohio St's Big Ten championship is was the committee said they used to jump the Buckeyes over both TCU and Baylor. If you remember I argued for that as well, even though TCU had a better season and was arguably the better team than Ohio St.

Sorry but, as the committee preaches head-to-head (again the reason they used to drop TCU below Baylor), and to show any consistency, Penn St should go above Ohio St, and have them in the playoffs instead of Ohio St.

Sorry Jimbo, all your arguments then say Penn St should be in now with Ohio St not being in, and your arguments now say TCU should have been in then with Ohio St out.

My argument said none of what you just said.

 

[Jimbo]

Personally I hope we drop to #4.

 

[Jimbo]

The person in charge of the playoff committee came out and told everybody that conference championships do not mean anything unless teams are identical none of those teams are identical to one another according to the people choosing

 

[Derwin0]

Trying to give cover for including Ohio St over Penn St when 4 years ago they used the exact opposite argument to include Ohio St over TCU.

Taking my Michigan binders off, I think with the top four they got it right. Should be not only a decent college playoff but pretty good bowl games as well. From a fan standpoint, I think Alabama/Michigan would have been competitive but oh well, they had an opportunity to take care of business and fell a bit short

And let the storm start - http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...tate-buckeyes-washington-huskies-make-playoff

I don't think its right that OSU got in and PennSt didn't when they beat OSU and won their conference and apparently I'm not the only one!
It's not right and they know it

Something has to change and it needs to change starting next year.

 

[meathead76]

Bring on the Hokies
I think it'll be first football game in NC the Hogs have ever played
and will be the first meeting with Virginia Tech
