    "Why are you being obtuse?"

    Just having football discussion bro.. I thought that's what we were here for.. Nothing personal. I don't know you, you don't know me.. I didn't insult you. Or if I did I certainly didn't intend to and apologize..

    I treat people on the net exactly as I would face to face.. In fact I use as my avatar a pic of myself almost everywhere I go so people can put a face with the name..

    Well, 3-4 times I said that every 1 loss team in the Power 5 conferences were still in the running for the Field of Four....in fact, that is basically the title to this thread, and 3 times you asked "why is this team still in the discussion". Because they are. Because that is what we are talking about. Who still has a chance. All ten of these teams still have a chance.

    Why did you ask that question so many times knowing it was non-applicable?

  • You don't decide what is applicable, and what is not..

    My opinion, which is just as valid as yours is that a one loss team that has lost to let's be generous and say a top 20 team closely, should still be considered. But a one loss team that lost to an unranked team by 14 points should not! A top 4 team has no valid excuse for a loss like that aside from a plane crash..

    This is the first week I question the panel..

    Alabama can't be happy 😁

    But their destiny is in their hands..

    I decide for myself what is applicable. I can decide who is or is not part of the "discussion". Both...all... those teams with one loss are part of the discussion because I made them so.

    Well, if there is anyone that decides what is applicable, it is that panel, clearly. That panel certainly has made Ohio St. "part of the discussion" whether you like it or not. But that panel does not seem to want to make Nebraska and Duke part of the discussion whether I like it or not as they only have them ranked 16th and 21st respectively. But I contend that if Nebraska goes through the rest of their schedule beating 3 currently ranked teams (Wisc./Minn/OSU) they would clearly become part of the discussion. And the same for Duke. If Duke were to beat FSU, they would have to be considered. They may not be accepted, but they would be considered.

    I don't think by any means that the panel would take a 2 loss Auburn or Ole Miss over a 1 loss Nebraska.

  • Are you guys buying into the Oregon hype? They lost at home to Arizona, yet never seemed to get "penalized" for that. Arizona, the team that beat them, is only 2-2 since that game.

    The panel apparently is. Though figure this: Oregon's best win was at home vs. Michigan St. Ohio St. handled Mich St. more than Oregon did....on the road.

    ASU's defeat of Notre Dame was one of the most impressive wins of the year. I think ASU would likely handle Oregon in the Pac 12 title game.

  • I don't think ND was as up for ASU as they were for FSU.. Still a damn good win...

    If they survive a letdown this week I'll rooting for them come the eventual Ducks game..

    The biggie this week is obviously MSU vs Bama..

    I'm starting to like Todd Graham's proposal for the college football playoff system..

  • This "14 point" loss to unranked VT was only 14 points because a freshman QB starting his second game in the big stage threw a pick 6 in the 4th quarter with less then a minute left, and now OSU is playing the best football in the nation. JT is better then that hick Dak, OSU is playing better defense then any of the teams in the Top 4 right now, and Zeke Elliot is a beast.

  • What is the Todd Graham proposal?

  • 8 teams, automatic spots for the 5 power conference's champs. 3 at large bids..

    Not sure how it would affect the panel presently in place but the 3 at large teams have to be selected somehow and the the entire group has to be seeded. I like the idea..

    Me too. And eventually I would wager it would get to that.
