I do agree with KIrk on this point and I think the first round results show that. Just because a team won 11 games does not mean they were belong in top 12 teams in country. Not sure how you keep them out if they win their conference.

But, but, but, that means Joe Paterno and State Penn would never have made the playoffs. Sure he had the most wins, BUT not only is he the ONLY coach to ever turned down the opportunity to play for a National Championship, look at his list of wins and who he beat. His schedules were softer than Hostess Snoballs

Amen to that. Glad to hear it - needed to put that skunk on the table as it was directly attributed to the L in that one (and had been a brewing problem as the season was progressing).

Penalties. Red zone conversions. Turnovers. Missed FGs. Not taking the points. All factors that, if addressed, mean the difference between a championship and a “just missed it” season.

I said last two years that Sark was wound too tight in CFP last year and against GA in CCG. I also said home game in CFP this year would give the team a chance to play more relaxed. Seems like we are heading in the right direction against ASU. Big question is Sark going to be uptight against again UO or OSU when the stakes are bigger.

The solution is 2 human polls and 1 aggregate computer poll.

As long as I'm one of the "human polls", I'm good with that. I figure that between my grandson and Viper's grandson, they can rig the computer to spit out what we want, so everything comes out a 2-1 vote.
 
Sorry, LC, but I lit CDC up on that group. We are in the middle of a melt down & blowing a 21 point lead, and the Longhorn band can't play and get the fans back into it, and we have Mariachi on the jumbotron. I was livid.

Lots of Mexican American Horn fans.

Yes, and there was a great crowd reaction to their performance BOTH times, but it wasn't the time when Cade was cramming the ball down our throat and cutting the lead from 21 to 7. Django's song was well timed, the Mariachi not so much.

With 19% Asians in the student population, will I have to put up with whatever they listen to while Ohio State is kicking our butt next fall? Or was this an attempt to make us forget the "war" between the cheerleaders and the pom squad?

Perhaps you can convince CDC to insert a more game sensitive DJ in the control room.
As far as tOSU kicking our butts next year I’m not thinking that will happen. Can you enlighten us on the war between cheerleaders and pom squad? Think I’d like a ringside seat to that one!

As far as "the war" is concerned, it would be very boring since the referee hates one and loves the other. Worse than being officiated by Percy Penn, Bill Began, Shorty Lawson, Back judge from Waco, and Frenchy Domingues.

I keep hoping the announcer (I think he prefers "star") gets hired by Rasslin'. I accused him of auditioning for the Vince McMann Circus, although I think the Pride of Bixby might destroy him. The guy is a total clown.

This is like the 3rd poll I’ve seen with the Horns with barcodes to win. Don’t get me wrong, we all want to win but the Ducks and Dawgs aren’t just going away.

The explanation is the bracket that has tOSU playing Oregon. They both start with 50% of their chances gone (odds wise) and then each go down from there to account for other games. We have like an 80% chance to beat ASU, and then go down from there.

Ie, if you could take pairs of teams, the OSU/tOSU quarter of the bracket would be the favorite.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely prefer more traditional collegiate game sounds rather than blaring Jumbotron noise. But I’m just an old fart and probably in the minority.
