Predict the first ever Final Four (Football)

TCU should get in a conference with a title game. Plain and simple. They do that and they play Baylor. Winner may play in the playoff. Fact of the matter is Ohio State played a better team and had better margin of victory. Anyone arguing that TCU should be in needs to look at the criteria that the playoff committee goes by. Ohio State earned there spot in the top 4 period!

OSU is going to get crushed by Bama. Big 10 is a powder puff league at this point. That said, Big 12 was stupid for staying at 10. TCU got hosed, but it is what it is.

Why did TCU get hosed exactly? Maybe Baylor has a complaint since they beat TCU head to head but who knows if they would keep up with the big dogs..I bet the Big 12 adds 2 more teams and a.conf. champ.game real quick. Also BAMA will CRUSH OSU.

Am I the only one wondering if Briles would make a good NFL Coach? As long as he would bring an DC like Ryan with him?

TCU is the better team that suffered a single loss to a top 5 team and survived a round-robin tourney in a tougher conference than the B10. The Big 10 went what? 6-11 against power-five conferences, including a loss to B12 bottom feeder Iowa State. They picked off a few weak ACC teams and was 5-3 against the MAC. Statistically, the B12 was the top conference in the Nation (bumping SEC for the first time in forever). It's overall rating was 90, the Big 10 was tied with the ACC at 69. Marshall had a hell of a season too :P

As I said, it's a powder-puff conference. They can't beat anyone worth a damn outside of their little bubble.

As far as TCU vs. Baylor, quality losses always trumps quality wins. Has for years, TCU has the best loss (3 points vs. Too 5 team) and looks the better team.

DaPhins........Oregon has had a tough season? LMAO My God, what rough season are you talking about? PAC 12...SERIOUSLY? Pac12 is not a tough conference at all..heck the Big 10 is even better than the Pac 12 !!!

Yes...the biggest one is Favoritism...Fact is when they decided to go to playoff format it should have Been for the Top 10 teams..not only the top 4...not much better than the BUS at this point really.

BCS JUST gotta love auto correct

Stomped the #8 rank Big 10 team into the ground. Power rankings had PAC-12 WELL ahead of the Big 10 in toughness.

Who cares where they are ranked at the time? So maybe you could use some comprehension lessons for Xmas. :tongue2:

Do e's everyone realize that while you are comparing conferences that Ohio State had the better SOS....so the Little 12 can't be that good.

Who cares what they were ranked at the time, yet you want to use Wisconsin being ranked at 13 as a reason for OSU's big win lol

Yeah, sure buddy, Oregon ain't Rutgers, or any of the other teams FSU has skimped by this season. This Ducks team has had a rough season, fought through tough opponents and injuries. They've been in a special rhythm for the last 4 weeks and have been absolutely crushing good opponents. It's a special team. No way FSU travels to the west coast and comes out on top.

I've got Oregon winning it all. Bama game is a bigger crap shoot, but Saban won't have 4 weeks to prepare for the Ducks offense. Bamas D is weaker than normal and Ducks D is better than normal.

Again, I think it's a special team and that they then a way to get it done this year :)

They didn't play Rutgers. They played several good and nationally ranked teams and beat them all. Your special team couldn't beat Arizona the first time. They may be better than FSU but this idea that they'll just roll over them is typical FSU hater nonsense . And then they'll beat Bama? Come on. Maybe I'll consider believing Oregon hype when they actually do something one day.

Meant BC (those small crappy NE schools get muddles up once you cross the Mississippi)


If by "spanked" you mean beat 7 of them by one score or less, then yes, they've been laying the wood all season :P

They sure showed Boston College and Oklahoma State what's what.......


This is the best chance they'll have to beat Bama. Lots of things going their way.

1. Bamas D is porous. Very porous, Sucks can leverage that.

2. Ole Nicky won't have 4 weeks to prepare for the Ducks. He'll have 9 days. I always felt the long break before the title game gave Defenses a huge advantage.

3. Ducks almost beat Auburn in the title game, and this is a better team. Mariotta is special, he can get out of trouble and extend plays. Freeman is a brushing runner who is also quick to the edge.

Far from a guaranteed win for the ducks, but it's their chance.
