Rowand44 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 25, 2015 -> 09:44 AM) They have people on ESPN predicting the Final 4 and a lady this morning had both MSU and OSU in it. Is that even possible? I'm expecting OSU to run the table and roll over the overrated SPartans. Would MSU sneak in with 1 loss over other teams? Highly doubtful.

danman31 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 24, 2015 -> 09:54 PM) 3) Poor Nebraska...growing up with Oklahoma as my second team because my dad went to school there, I can for the first time ever say I'm starting to feel sorry and pity for their great fanbase. They definitely deserve better. That program was so good that they were like the Patriots of twenty years ago, and for most of the Osborne years. It would take a lot more for me to feel sorry for Nebraska. They made a mediocre coaching hire and it's burning them earlier than expected. College football has changed so much in the past 20 years with more programs getting national exposure on TV. Nebraska will never return to anything like it's best years because when it comes down to it you're recruiting college kids to the state of Nebraska. That's an extremely tough sell, even if Lincoln is a nice city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting OSU to run the table and roll over the overrated SPartans. Would MSU sneak in with 1 loss over other teams? Were they predicting what the Final Four will be or what they think it should be as of now? As of right now having both in is realistic (though I have MSU 5th). A 1-loss MSU team has no chance at the playoff. A 1-loss OSU team has a slight chance but it would take an awful lot of upsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The USC and Georgia Tech wins helped ND's SOS. Now, they have to keep up their winning.

cabiness42 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 ND is going to be hurt by not being a conference champion regardless of their schedule so they cannot be the 5th one loss team or something like that. If ND beats Stanford (which as of now I would not expect) and Stanford ends up the PAC-12 champ, then that does jump ND ahead of at least one conference champ. Big 12 champ could still have two losses so that gets ND ahead of a second conference champ. Then you would have ND battling 2nd place teams from the SEC and BIG for that 4th spot. ND deserves to beat out a 1-loss MSU or Iowa but probably not a 1-loss LSU. ND needs all SEC non-champions to have 2+ losses. It would be really sad if ND runs the table and misses out on the playoff because of a dumbass coach who sucks at math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND at the same number of losses isnt going to jump a similar one loss team that wins a conference title game, the Big 12 doesnt have a conference title game so they are excluded.

No, I'm talking about 1-loss teams that either lose or aren't in conference title games, like possibly MSU, Iowa or LSU. You could have 0 or 1 loss champions in the ACC, BIG and SEC and 2 loss champions in the Big 12 and PAC 12. Then you have ND battling other 1-loss non champions for that 4th spot.

By "upset", I meant the team with playoff aspirations losing. Wisconsin, Arizona, GA Tech, and Missouri all had two losses going into the conference championship games already. Had a few of them won, it would have been interesting to see how it played out vs. the two 1-loss Big 12 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are winning and I hope they keep winning and their defense is good, but they have their own issues and are one of the most beatable teams I've ever seen ranked as high as they are this late in the season.
