Tech beating OSU 56-48…… what year is it lol
-
Bama oh no
-
@FarmerJayhawk Monroe 3/10 78 yards 2 INTs one was a house call
-
Things could get really weird for the Big 12 in bowl season. There very possibly aren’t enough bowl tie ins for all the potential 6 win teams. It’s an artifact of the former PAC schools playing in PAC bowls. There are 12 Big 12 teams who can get to 6 wins. The Big 12 has up to 8 bowl tie-ins and the PAC has 6. USC and UCLA can get bowl eligible, Wazzu already is, Oregon State could as well. Might be a giant train wreck.
-
@FarmerJayhawk it’s sounds a little worrisome if we are fortunate enough to win next week. How crazy would a KU-Nebraska or KU-OU bowl game be? I don’t wanna put the carriage before the horse tho. Full focus forward to next week for this team.
-
@kjayhawks man I’d LOVE to play Nubs again
-
Imagine not liking this dumb sport. Absolute CARNAGE in the SEC
-
What do yall think of 7 time national champion Oklahoma rushing the field after becoming bowl eligible? Are they the new Nebraska?
-
@kjayhawks Nubs South. If you’re a real elite program you never rush the court/field
-
Boy, OkState’s fall from grace/competence is something to behold. They look awful against Colo right now. From league favorite to cellar. Just Wow.

Tulane losing to Memphis yesterday was big for the Big 12 because that pretty much eliminates any chance of the B12 champs missing the playoffs.

The other favorite to win the Big 12 is currently 1-7 in conference play too. It’s crazy how inverted the standings are compared to the preseason expectations.
-
Anyone watching this Georgia- Georgia Tech?
-
Haha Ryan Day drops another to Michigan
-
See the fight/flag planting try after game?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That was pretty interesting to say the least. Wonder if criminal charges will be filed, OSU had several staff members heavily involved, throwing punches and being bloodied themselves.
-
Security spraying pepper spray Another team, also tried to plant a flag? Forgot who. Better start fining them! nc state and unc had the same thing.
-
So with Texas clinching a spot in the SEC title game, is it safe to say maybe that conference isn’t as far ahead as the talking heads claim? Talking about a program that had won a single conference title in the B12 in the last 14 years.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It was Michigan that wanted to plant their flag in the middle of the O at mid field at Ohio State. Had quite the rumble for a little bit
-
What a championship Saturday. It’s really funny Boise and Arizona St will likely get byes
-
@FarmerJayhawk it will be interesting at this point to see what happens. I dislike how much hype Boise and Jeanty are getting. Sorry Jeanty who will likely break Barry Sanders record if they play 2 playoff games doesn’t impress me much. Guy averages 30 carries a game playing in a powder puff conference. Boises clam to fame is we only lost by 3 in the first game of the year to Oregon. What flex by the former pac-12 members. ASU wins the B12, Oregon the B10. I’m thinking with Texas making the title game it proves the SEC isn’t quite as far ahead in CFB as they think.
-
@kjayhawks I get that. You can only beat who’s on your schedule and Boise dang near pulled it off. I think they deserve a spot but they could be the 3 seed which seems insane.
I have no idea how they’ll treat the ACC. Do they treat SMU as a fraud or a good win for Clemson and give them a bye? Same question to the Big 12 and ASU. Tomorrow will be crazy
-
@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.
-
Shout out to hutch jr college for winning nationals.
