Everyone seems to be stuck in recency bias with both OSU and Texas. Texas is a very good team who will be able to defend much better than Oregon could have ever hoped

I parlayed ND, OSU and the Eagles so I have them at +5, which seems like an appropriat's nicee spot.

Congrats on being better than me, Psycory.

Great game, not the outcome we wanted. Allar really wanted to throw an interception last night. Warren clearly concussed (probably twice) and the WRs not showing up isn't the way to end the season. However if you would have told us that we would play in the national semifinal at the beginning of the year, I would have been surprised as we could barely beat Bowling Green but apparently the MAC was the real deal this year.

On a sidenote, I went to MANY home games this year and after the Maryland game, we walked downtown to Raising Canes because my daughter thinks it's good (it's no Zaxby's). When we walked back to the car near the stadium, Tyler Warren was walking out of the stadium so my daughter got to meet him and take a picture, nice kid. Didn't have to do that as he was probably just going home...to study I'm sure.

I think they were able to shake the fraud label from the program. They definitely belonged and I think they played well.

Second guessing, I would have been conservative and taken it to overtime, since PSU has the better D and more offensive guys who could win a 1 on 1. I'd take PSU playing from the 25 on both sides of the ball over having to drive from the 20 with under 1 minute.

Congrats on being better than me, Psycory.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

That's the problem with your anecdotes though. You keep on picking the times where the OSU-Michigan game led to a national title but ignoring all the times it didn't matter. The same is true of FSU playing 0 meaningful games this year in hindsight.

"When you use the regular season as the gateway to the postseason". What type of sentence is this? It's absurd. Every sport at every level determines a championship through the use of the regular season qualifying some group of teams to make the playoffs where every team either beats every team that beat every other team in the group. Now, if you want to go back to the days where voters picked a national title after all the teams played in different bowl games then I can understand that. Right now, you are just created this straw man that no other league is held to where the regular season doesn't matter if you can lose a regular season game and still win the title.

That's an interesting point. FDU, while not winning the national title, had the most significant and important game in the history of the school. They had many games prior to that were very important in making the NCAA tournament. Had the playoffs been a smaller pool of teams they would have had no access to the playoffs at all. So, it's a great example of how an expanded playoffs can actually increase the total amount of important games.

As I pointed out with SMU, Indiana, Ole Miss, and Alabama, they basically spent the month of November fighting hard to make the playoffs. Every game was vitally important to them. So yes, Oregon had a buffer where they could drop a game and still make it.

Now, bring it down to the 4 team playoff. There would have been 6 teams in November fighting for those spots and all of those teams would have been in the SEC, Big Ten, and Notre Dame.

Fairliegh Dickenson didn’t win their conference regular season title nor win their conference post season tournament before the beat the shit out of Purdue in the first round of the NCAA tournament and Trained Seal Brick believes this is an argument that the regular season was more meaningful for FDU because of a broader playoff?

I love you Brick, you’re the best. Don’t stop being you. I mean I’m being serious, love you man.

Yes. They were the conference rep and it lead to the biggest win their program will ever have. Do you think they won a lottery to make the NCAA tournament?

You've lost the argument. It's not even close. No one finds your argument about Michigan-OSU to be compelling.

Just give up. Just remember a 13-0 FSU team didn't make the playoffs last year. That's far more relevant than your FDU point. End of discussion.
