What do you consider a disqualfying loss?

[BamaFanAlways]

Why? It would be even clearer on who the top 4 teams are. UCF isn't one of them

I accidentally left OU out of the first post.... i was trying to say 6 undefeated teams....

Yeah, we say that every year though. It hasn't happened yet. I'm not sure we have ever had three undefeated playoff teams, and if the bowl games go as projected, than I think this would be the first time (I could be incorrect here).

For the sake of argument, I think ND and UCF would easily be left out if the six teams you listed were undefeated. ND would get hurt by their lack of a CCG, and UCF by their lack of a schedule IMO.

That's fair but also not what people are saying . Neither team ( OU or OSU ) has looked like a playoff team much of the year

Both of them have their shortcomings, no question, but who doesn't this year outside of Bama?

A loss at HOME to Iowa State or a loss to Syracuse......nevermind, all that matters is the color of your blood.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Evidently losing to Auburn is a boost and does not hurt you at all. I’m not even sure why teams try against us.

As it pertains to the playoff .

I've seen a lot of people state " you can't lose by 29 to 6-6 Purdue and make the playoff"

Conversely I don't remember anyone stating that Clemson should not have gotten in last year despite losing by 3 to a 4-8 team .

So I'm assuming the answer lies in between but I'm curious .

What do you personally see as a disqualifying loss?

Is losing by 2 to a 2-10 team ok? 21 to a 8-4 team? 31 to a 10-2 team? 17 to a 5-7 team?

Let's hear what you think and why

Losing to a G5 team...or Iowa.

Funny how losing to bad teams didn’t keep non-Blue Bloods of Washington, Oregon, and Michigan State from making the playoffs. Why is that?

Lol, Iowa would destroy you fucking Okies.

explain this

That non Blue Bloods have made the playoffs and didn’t need to be undefeated to do it.

That wasn't the question, but to address your point:

-Oregon lost early in the season to an eventual 10-3 Arizona
-MSU lost a fluke to Nebraska, but ran the gamut against #12 Mich, #2 OSU and #6 PSU, #5 Iowa
-Washington lost to 10-3 USC

My point was you should lose at home to a shit Iowa St team or a shit syracuse team and be in the CFP.

You can survive that when they are close losses and you are comparing it to teams that have more losses and losses by over 30 points.

Each year is different. The teams made it in that year but might not have made it in others.

Lol, I'm not comparing anything. My post was a response to a question. I said if you lose at home to Iowa fucking State, you have no business being in the CFP.

You're the one arguing and comparing.

So who should have gone that year? Ohio State that took a 30 point loss to Iowa AND lost to Oklahoma by two touchdowns or USC who lost by 5 touchdowns to Notre Dame AND lost to Washington fucking State?

Seasons do not exist in a vacuum.

Not sure anymore, but we could probably go back to that thread and find out.

 

[SteelersPride]

I think disqualifying loss is when osu beats u by 23, and could of by 50 when they let off the gas

 

[Chewbaccer]

Losing to an FCS team or shitty mid major.

Anything else can be overcame. Team's can have a bad game and lose to a mediocre team and prove themselves with the rest of their resume. In 2012, Georgia was dominated 35-7 by South Carolina and would have gone to the NCG if they didn't fall 5 yards short against Bama.

But even if Old Dominion had been VT's only loss of the season, they're disqualified.
