*** Baylor vs Sparty Cotton Game Thread ***
- Thread starter cycophagus

So in B1G fans' eyes, a 1-3 record means you are the better conference? I get it now.
This game looked a lot like Baylor's game against Texas Tech. Difference was MSU was a better team and able to pull it out at the end. Baylor is a flashy fast car that looks great going fast down the straight portion of the highway. Doesn't handle curves and tight turns so well. Still, Briles has done an amazing job. Would love to be in their position versus ours.

I think he'll remember how he ended his college career, you bet I do. Listen to Fred talk sometime about all his memories from his college days. Good times and bad. That stuff sticks with you, regardless of what your future salary is.

The B1G is having one halfway decent year in the bowl games in the last couple decades and all of the sudden they are puffing out their chests. Amazing.
They are still pathetic. Non conference games show that this year.
I've been one saying TCU should have been in, they looked like the best team in the conference all year, they look like a top 4 team. They have possibly the best resume, certainly a top 4 resume.
Baylor has been very good at times but this isn't the first game like this for them. I wouldn't have been going to bat for Baylor over OSU even before this game.
OSU and TCU had comperable SOS, most ratings had TCU slightly higher. TCU's loss was better. Easy decision for fair and rational minds to make.
I do agree with this. If they played again next week, I'd pick Baylor again. Going away.
I don't know, there's something to be said about peeing a game down your leg that bad. It was mistake after mistake after mistake. Michigan State was the better team.
Their complete lack of killer instinct in the 4th is just as much a part of their game as the second and third quarter of total dominance. This game is an example of why the committee had TCU at 3 and Baylor at 6 before the fix was called in. TCU is a more disciplined and balanced team.
Yeah at the time those were all true. Then they peed it down their leg. Michigan State was the better team. Closing out games is part of being a good team.
That sucked how Baylor crapped the bed. I guess that's it for football watching today. I refuse to turn on the Football Payoff (or is it Playoff$$$?).
I almost hope Ohio State wins both games by 50. They truly do look like a good team now, but the reality is they have a worse resume than TCU and TCU basically cemented that unless Ohio State were to win with two blowouts.
But if Ohio State does dominate Alabama, Alabama's season then looks significantly worse than TCU's too...there's simply no way any of the one loss teams seem to have a valid reason to be there more than TCU.
