Caught in a Mosh
yep, here we go...let's see how if we get screwed or committee values conference titles and SOS
Kirby basically said it was because we had 2 losses compared to Washington's 1 loss. So why schedule a tough out of conference schedule. Washington played the 2nd worse strength of schedule but still made the #4 spot. Lets be happy for our team and so proud of what they have accomplished this year which isn't over yet. The 2 hottest teams so far have been PSU and USC and it appears we will be playing in the Rose Bowl which is awesome. Congrats to Penn State!!!
We ended up #5. They went with WSH over PSU because of WSH's more balanced weekly performances. So PSU's nine in a row factor could not overcome their 2-2 start. So we can live with it and a Rose Bowl berth vs probably USC.
Or is it rigged and should we demand a recount?
Not really surprised that PSU got hosed, the committee has demonstrated time and time again that they're incompetent. What I would really like to see is some kind of points system to rank teams, something like this:
2 points for a win
3 points for top 25 win
4 points for top 10 win
5 points for for 5 win
5 points for conference championship
4 teams with most points at end of season will make playoffs
Not sure if something like this would actually work but I think they need some kind of system so the selection wouldn't be so subjective.
Congratulations on the BIG10 Championship
Never would have believed that any team would put up 38 against the Wisky defense. You guys are for real!!
Good luck the rest of the way.
