@FarmerJayhawk yes it will be interesting how much they penalize the losing a teams in the conference championships. I think the likes of Texas and Penn state are safely in but big question mark around SMU. They’ve always favored the SEC so hardcore I’d be shock if Bama doesn’t in. I just hope a non SEC team wins it.
-
@kjayhawks Bama vs SMU is definitely the toughest case. I guess it comes down to two different approaches. Do we think Bama is better than SMU? I tend to think so. But does SMU have a better case to get in? Also think yes. So depends how the committee weights these things.
-
SMU shouldn’t be punished for losing by a FG in a conference championship game when Alabama didn’t play in one at all. For Bama, don’t lose to a pair of 6-6 teams
-
What escapes me is why Penn State is definitely in and SMU may be left out. They have the same overall record. Both played in the conference championship and lost relatively close games. Only other loss for both was a close game to a ranked team (both SMU losses by 3 points). Questions about SMU’s strength of schedule, but who has Penn State actually beaten. Penn State’s only good win was 21-7 over a 9-3 Illinois team. Only other wins against teams with winning records are 7-5 Bowling Green and 7-5 Minnesota. Just two against a P-5 school. SMU has wins over a 9-3 team, two with 8-4 records, and two with 7-5 records. All P-5 wins. And, don’t get me started on Indiana. They benefited from not qualifying for the conference championship. Patsy non-conference and conference schedule. Didn’t play Oregon, PSU, Illinois or Iowa. Only win over a team with a winning record was 7-5 Michigan…
-
@DCHawker Quality of losses. PSU lost to two teams were in the playoffs regardless of beating PSU and are regarded as the two favorites to win the national title this season. SMU’s losses are viewed as worse because BYU didn’t make the B12 title game and Clemson is only in because of beating SMU.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 So, BYU tied for the conference title and didn’t get into the title game because of a complicated tiebreaker. Clemson was in its conference title game. Regardless, if quality of losses is more important than actually beating anyone of consequence (?), then how do you justify Alabama, with losses to Vandy and OU (a spank down by the latter).
No consistency in applying a “standard”…
-
@DCHawker I don’t think Alabama should be in over SMU this season. You should read up a few posts and you’ll see that.
Your post I was responding to was specifically comparing Penn St. and SMU’s rankings. PSU has “better” losses than SMU is why PSU is ahead of SMU.
-
Sounds like there has been a lot of tampering with players that are currently in the CFP. They really need to change the dates on the portal til after the CFP and Bowl games or make it illegal to talk to players on a team that qualified for the postseason til it’s done.
-
@kjayhawks Penn St. backup enters the portal. They’re a pretty good team without their backup. Crazy.

️I miss the Last Chance U Netflix series that highlighted Jr. College football. The series focused on several players on a squad showing their athletic efforts, but also academic and personal parts of their lives.
-
Junior college football is super strong is this state. Butler was a power house for a decade then Garden City was really good then Independence now Hutch has been on a role. I watched Alvin Kamara running back for the saints play for them a handful of years ago.
-
KSU Rutgers is a high scoring, big play game
-
@approxinfinity Looks like Rutgers had a KU-esque meltdown in the 4th quarter.
-
@patoh3 Too bad I wasted 3 hours in hopes of watching the Purple Pu$$ie$ get beat
-
@nuleafjhawk i was pulling for Big 12 tbh
-
@approxinfinity you’re a better person than I am
-
@nuleafjhawk ha. In our own self interest of course.
-
@approxinfinity Oh you need to be horse whipped lol-- just kidding. I’ll never pull for those clowns even if it’s tiddly winks . or badminton.
I’ll drive out of my way to drive around that crap hole down the inner state .-- It will always be pulling against or the other team. I was hoping/watching but Nope lol K /State
-
I just love how when KSU wins the same bowl KU did last season, it’s a huge win but a toilet bowl when KU wins it. I think ksu has played in this same bowl like 8 times.
-
I like the chrome helmets TCU is wearing today. Crazy what athletic wear providers are putting on the fields these days.
-
@stoptheflop Total mis match.- -TCU going to cur stomp these guys --They have a hell of a QB we got to put up with for a couple more yrs
Iowa St off and running over Miami 7-0 - -well not anymore lol- - 7-7
-
The Iowa State Miami game is a track meet so far with little defense. 21-14 with 2+ minutes in the 1st quarter.
-
Actually a pretty good game to watch between Iowa State and Miami 41-35 Miami late 4th quarter. Love the offensive shoot uts, much better then a dam defensive game -BORING lol -Iowa State on the move
-
Downside about Iowa State and Miami game is that QB Cam Ward sat out the 2nd half.
Iowa State wins 42-41.
-
@patoh3 that was their decision. Not Iowa States problem. got to many of these guys option out, he didn’t want to play or they didn’t then that’s on them. Iowa State was missing their best reviver, all games I watched today every team missing top key players
-
@kjayhawks believe it our not, K-State was actually given their own bowl game. Sponsored by Purple Matress Co - it’s called the Purple Pu$$y Bowl.
-
BYU just embarrassed Colorado from start to finish.-- Think they sacked Sandes like 5 times , Colorado 2 yards rushing - BYU just in total control from start to finish. Can’t say hurts my feelings any cause I have no use for Dieon Sanders, so was a really good game to watch
-
@SlimShaddy54 Remind me again, who beat both those teams?
-
@SlimShaddy54 I felt bad about that game. I wish BYU had won 100 - 0
