Conference Championship Week presented by Mobb Deep

[pavel]

All trolling aside, here are my thoughts on OSU. They reasonably cannot get in ahead of PSU. Didn't win their division, didn't win the H2H, and didn't win the conference. If the B1G was really such hot shit as B1G fans claim, you almost have to let PSU in for winning it.

Bama, and to a lesser extent Clemson, are givens.

That leaves UW. UW has a weaker best win (Colorado?), a worse loss (home throttling by USC), and a horrendous OOC schedule (Rutgers, Portland State, and Idaho? That should be illegal). OSU is significantly better on all three of those comps (less so OOC, but OU is a good win).

So what it boils down to is does the committee leave out a P5 champion in favor of a team with an identical record that didn't even win its division?

EDIT- I am not sure these dudes aren't influenced by the regional distribution of teams, too. If the furthest-west team is based in Tuscaloosa, that's a whole lot of people (3? time zones' worth) who just won't tune in, given that these are New Year's Eve games and will be hurting for viewers enough as it is.

Hokies have nothing to be embarrassed about.

But they didn't play that well and they gave away this ACC shampship.

Sure, but given the state the program was in when Fuente got hired they did much, much better than I thought they would this season. Make no mistake, Jerod Evans isn't a great QB but when you're following absolute bums like Brendan Motley, Logan Thomas, and Michael Brewer any improvements are major. Keep in mind there are few top HS prospects that are going to choose to play in Blacksburg (also known as Bleaksburg) when Tennessee, Miami, and any number of better located ACC and SEC teams come knocking so getting Evans was a huge win.

Were they going to beat Klimpson? Hell no, just not enough offensive talent. Did they give them a run for the money? Absolutely. That's a big win for me and I thought going 7-5 this season would be a major success.

Didn't Logan Thomas get drafted and if so why?

If we're being serious now, I expect Washington in rewarding garbage schedule and encouraging teams to play the worst possible non con.

Psu to rose vs colorado/usc
Michigan to orange vs flazzou
Whisky to cotton vs west mich
Oklahoma to sugar against probably Auburn.

All pretty good match ups for a change.

Vine dead babby.

This was the absolute nadir of the Frank Beamer years. I wanted him fired after the 2010 season but the AD and the administration wanted Frank to get 25 years so they let him shit himself for another five years before they got him to quit.

I'm just messing with you, man. I think VT had a very good year, right on target for what I predicted. Hell, they were even a little disappointing, because they should've won 2 more games. I think Fuente is going to have them back to where they were 7-8 years ago where they win 10-11 games every year.

I think Evans is going to be great next year.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Didn't Logan Thomas get drafted and if so why?

By the Cardinals in the 4th. To the second part - your guess is as good as mine but it looks like he's finally moving to TE in Buffalo. Here's where Frank lost me - Logan Thomas would have been a legit stud at TE and probably would have been a late 1st or early 2nd round pick if he had played at that position instead of being forced to play QB.

 

[MtneerManiac]

Just happy for PSU, they've been through so much.

Like all those kids

Sorry dude, I don't have the yards per play on grass while playing into the autumn equinox sun stats or anything like ur failed sperg ass, but thems my thoughts...

Maybe Phil Steele needs someone to order his printer ink? You'd be a shoo-in now...

Edit- this was too harsh, but I'm gonna leave it as my penance. Sorry

Fuck Penn state as hard as possible forever I don't care if they invent 20 minute travel to Mars

Not white, but tall enough and enough ARM TALENT to overcome that.

Man, those State Penn fans are touchy today. I love the idiots defending Paterno and new scumfuck James Franklin.

I laughed at this more than I should have. Let's not forget date rapists that also sucked in XFL (Jim Drunkenmiller).

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

His biggest problem is that he couldn't read defenses if every team ran that 3-3-5 scheme Press Virginia runs every play.

 

[kella]

I love the PSU guys who don't realize Franklin is basically just diet serial rape

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

But he threw them off the team after months of investigation and obfuscation so just let the community heal. WE ARE. STATE PENN.

Meanwhile, over at the high school level...

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Best thing about the Championship games is that I had three people unfriend me on FecesBook today. Maybe my dreams of being banned from FB will one day come true.

They have that ability?

Why drink colon blow when this is 2.99? It does the same thing

 

[Mr. Radpants]

To ban you from here? Yes. Everyone wins!

If that happens - Life Productivity: 80/80. Life Enjoyment: 10/80.

Especially since they're Hachiko's main team.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Why does Penn State still have a football team?

 

[R2D2]

Do Alabama got da a on da gloves?

This whole "healing" thing is just so dumb. Healing for who? Are the victims less traumatized because they had a good season?

The fans are. JoePa is a saint and blessed this season from heaven, where he sits next to Jesus.

 

[kella]

I have some sympathy for the fans/grads with a little perspective, but those who come hard and pissed because FOOTBAW can just fuck right off. There is no room for subjectivity here.

 

[Skeeter]

Are there some with perspective?

 

[kella]

I know a few.

For the rest I let the liquor do the thinking

Remember - these are the same people that are happy Cuck Specialist James Franklin is running the ship now. That the NCAA didn't give them the death penalty and all that's left is to put the JoePa statue back is pathetic. Fuck State Penn now and forever.

 

[Hachiko]

Especially since they're Hachiko's main team.

PSU are the team my main P5 team are facing in the Rosey you bloody flog...IF the committee is smart.

 

[kella]

This and old people telling me native Americans aren't offended by Redskins triggers me big time

I'll stop now.

Penn State-SC will be the end of a Seven Year Itch and a replay of the 2009 edition. I will look forward to it.

 

[DeadMan]

Can we talk about how USC is still struggling after buying Reggie Bush's mom a house, but Penn State gets a championship after covering up 30 years of child rape?

Anyone who thinks the NCAA shouldn't have jurisdiction over the latter can fuck right off.

 

[kella]
