Edit: I just realized I'm really behind here. I don't come here that often. and I can see now that you posted this many pages ago. Sorry.
This is a really flawed example. The Alabama you're talking about is the Alabama that had the best run of any program in NCAA history during Saban's run. Of course they went 17-2 against that schedule.
The rest of the SEC couldn't even duplicate that run, and you're saying that to be respected, the Big 12 has to. This isn't a good example.
It’s neat how they kept ASU and ISU well behind Boise and moved UNLV up so the Broncos can grab that elusive top 20 win… It’s all f*cking scripted.
Do you really think we would be significantly higher if we beat Tech, because I don’t. Our SOS is worse than Indiana’s, and they would stick us behind them. I agree that I still don’t understand why Boise State is where they are though…
Speaking of whining, that’s all this entire thread is.
He’s not the right person to do that though. And ISU isn’t the right school to call out Indiana or SMU. We didn’t play the other three 2-loss conference teams either. It comes off as hypocritical
That is true and fair. Hell, I am shocked that Alabama went 17-2 vs. those teams!
Not a good look for SMU to point out they lost at home to the Big 12 but cut through an easy ACC like a warm knife through butter.
They only had a tough non conf because they scheduled some of those games when they were a g5 and their new league only plays 8.
Unless they get piss stomped, Penn State won’t move down. The committee isn’t gonna punish them for the extra data point. The nutsack they had on at the end of the show really hinted at that. Champ week for the SEC and B1G will only yield net positives for the winner, there won’t be consequences for losing.
The funniest thing? I was angry when they fired Mike Shula, thought he was getting a raw deal. I thought it was unfair.
The hindsight on that one is pretty hilarious. I think I just have rose-tinted glasses of Shula setting up Van Tiffin for The Kick.
Where are you getting our sos worse than Indiana? ISU sos is 35 spots higher per Sagarin, I know there are a lot of them but at the very worst we played a similar schedule.
What I think will happen
- If Clemson wins convincingly and B12 title is a close game, Clemson will jump the B12 winner
- If the opposite of that happens, B12 winner will beat out the ACC for a bye
- If UNLV beats Boise, they will not jump the B12 or ACC for a bye in any scenario
- SMU is in win or lose. They win, Bama gets last at-large. If Clemson wins, SMU gets the last at-large
I was a Mike Shula fan too. I saw him play and coach. He did what he was brought in to do and even had a really good team in 2005 (10-2 Cotton Bowl Champion).
I think we need to accept were likely going to South Bend or Happy Valley. Buckle up. (if we even win this weekend)

Yet another way to scratch your head over some if what the committee sees. What’s interesting is the real lack of good wins among some ranked teams (Indiana, SMU, Miami, Clemson, even Penn State, Notre Dame and Texas really haven’t beat anybody):
1. OREGON
1. OREGON
- Losses: None
- Best wins: Ohio State, Boise State (?)
- Losses: Georgia (good loss)
- Best wins: Texas A&M? Florida?
- Losses: Ohio State (good loss)
- Best wins: USC? Illinois? They just beat Minnesota by one point
- Losses: Northern Illinois (terrible loss)
- Best wins: Army? Texas A&M? USC?
- Losses: Alabama (good loss), Ole Miss
- Best wins: Texas, Tennessee, Clemson
- Losses: Oregon (good loss), Michigan (somewhat bad loss)
- Best wins: Penn State, Indiana
- Losses: Georgia (good loss), Arkansas (bad loss)
- Best wins: Alabama
- Losses: BYU
- Best wins: Louisville? Duke?
- Losses: Ohio State (good loss)
- Best wins: Michigan? Nebraska?
- Losses: Oregon (good loss)
- Best wins: UNLV
- Losses: Vanderbilt (bad loss), Tennessee (good loss), Oklahoma (bad loss)
- Best wins: Georgia, South Carolina
- Losses: Georgia Tech (not that good), Syracuse (also not a good loss)
- Best wins: Louisville? Duke? Florida? Only an unexplainable video overturn saved them against Virginia Tech, and an uncalled targeting saved them against Cal
- Losses: Kentucky (bad loss), LSU, Florida
- Best wins: Georgia, South Carolina
- Losses: Alabama (good loss), Ole Miss (pretty good loss), LSU
- Best wins: Clemson, Texas A&M?
- Losses: Texas Tech (not a good loss), BYU (pretty good loss)
- Best wins: Kansas State, Kansas?
- Losses: Texas Tech (not a good loss), Kansas (also not good)
- Best wins: Kansas State, Iowa, Baylor?
- Losses: Georgia (good loss), South Carolina (good loss), Louisville
- Best wins: Pittsburgh? Virginia Tech?
- Losses: Arizona State (pretty good), Kansas (not so good)
- Best wins: SMU, Kansas State, Baylor?
It just means more! In fact, it means so much they get to take a crap ton of losses off their resumes.
Well, then ISU might as well go out and win the Big XII Championship! That is truly what matters the most, not who or where ISU might play in the CFP. Beating Arizona State is the most important thing on the schedule!
Should Big 12 just take it? Committee has our teams 7 spots lower than AP. Other three major conferences all higher than they are in the AP.
Just spread our cheeks and enjoy?
Imagine if the committee had practically no big ten presence and dropped all your teams 2 spots on average from the AP position.
F this committee. The Big 12 already got screwed beyond belief in 2014, possibly our best team in 4 team playoff era. There was nothing wrong with the BCS formula.
