Because blowing out a top 15 team and beating a top 10 team by double digits trumps a win over a 1 loss team by 50?WebFire;1683521 wrote:Right, but then dropped them for winning a game by 52. How can you feel someone is 3rd and then drop them for winning huge? I would have put OSU in knowing the had a CCG to play, and if they lost, put TCU in for them knowing they aren't playing a CCG.
Guess it doesn't matter, I think the right teams are in at the end.

Been saying this for a week. Yes, the committee screwed up moving TCU to #3. And I'll guarantee there was no way they thought OSU would do what they did. They fully expected a close game, even an OSU loss without JT. OSU threw the committee for a big loop making them look a little silly for what they did last week. Lesson learned. But bottom line, the current 4 best teams are in. Now lets play.Fly4Fun;1683494 wrote:I love all the excuses and crying.
OSU played a tougher schedule and had more impressive wins, and won the conference championship game... all factors in who is better.
No they didn't.Classyposter58;1683501 wrote:Baylor won the Big 12 though. The conference commissioner should be fired for what he did
Nothing about champions.Tiebreaker Procedures
Effective June 2014
The following procedure will determine the Big 12 Conference representative to the Sugar Bowl (or alternate College Football Playoff game when the Sugar Bowl is a semifinal) in the event of a first-place or alternate place tie (for the avoidance of doubt, only Conference records will be used throughout the process):
If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
Ok, not a screw up. But they caused themselves some credibility and criticism because of what they did with TCU last week. If they had kept them at 4, where they should have been. Then I don't believe they would be catching much crap from anyone. As mentioned, and not that it matters now, but Galloway pointed that out from the get go.Azubuike24;1683587 wrote:The committee didn't really "screw up." It just shows you that the rankings starting 6 weeks out from selection Sunday mean...nothing. They are there to generate ratings and discussion. The relevance of the order of the rankings even just a week prior to the selections is null and void.
This is the only negative. The BCS was a formula. It was pretty easy to project because you just plug and chug numbers.

That wasn't what I meant. I meant that OSU lost to a average/below average VT team, so losing to a good Power 5 team, won't matter a whole lot in the grand scheme of a playoff resume. Basically there is no downside now in scheduling at least one good OOC game.Automatik;1683597 wrote:I get what you're saying, but at 6-6 no one would call VT "good."
Keep repeating va tech was terrible. We are all disagreeing with you.pmoney25;1683608 wrote:Let's be honest VT was terrible this year. OSU rebounded well and played great when it mattered but nothing stops that from being an embarrassing loss.
