Our souped-up Mustang did pretty well against their Ferrari.

What happened to "SEC defense"?

Seriously.

We in the Big 12 have heard it for years and we're supposed to be embarrassed about our teams.  So much that you--OAM--coined "twelving."

So what's up with the SEC?  Does it NOW mean that SEC offenses or so awesome that even NFL defenses would be helpless against them?

Penn State and USC opt out of bowl season.   

Rose Bowl moved to Dallas.  

Not sure if Ohio State makes  playoff, but if not I wager they opt out.  Again, according to Dabo, Jimbo and Dumbo( Brian Kelly) as well as just about all of the talking heads- the Buckeyes should not be rewarded for avoiding all of those wicked opponents, and the Big needs to be punished.  

Seems to be the prevailing thought so I have to agree. 

Bama
Clemson
Texas A&M
Norte Dame
Florida 
Cincinnati 

There is my top 6- Oklahoma just missed the cut.

We all know Ohio State will be in.  Why would you care what Dabo or Jimbo says?

Maybe I’m just to easily influenced these days.  It wasn’t just Dabo or Jimbo or Kelly, I also heard Fowler and several of the analysts on ESPN and CBS say the same thing. I have also read several forms of other teams in the Big Ten and other conferences and it seems to be the prevailing thought so I guess maybe I’m coming to the realization that the majority is correct here

This is simple:
1 Bama
2 Clemson
3 OSU
4 ND

no rematches
no A&M

Same cast of characters it's been the last few years.  Ho-hum.

A - defenses have been behind all year in every conference 
B - yes, once Saban started putting 93 octane in his own offense, there's been an admission that offenses can no longer be consistently shut down

This!  It should be clear by now.  The game and the rules are in favor of the offense and the offense for the most part wins championships now.

QBs today often are great even in their first year.

Herbie nailed when he said if the roles were reversed Dabo would be blabbing we just followed the rules and played who we could,nothing more you can do.With that said last year was the season and we got jobbed vs Deacon Dabo,don't think the Bucks beat LSU but they seemd to think it would have been a better game

It’s weird the words we sometimes find ourselves listening to. We know the three coaches in question all have something to gain by politicking and it covers their own asses.

OSU would be in because frankly there isn’t a perfect fourth choice. Notre Dame is good enough, and you’re not gonna make the third choice also difficult just to stand on some dumb principle that no one agreed to

You try so hard not to be a homer that you end up on the other end of the spectrum. Right here in this thread two of our own with no dog in this fight said:

Everybody knows it unless they have an obvious bias (Jimbo, Kelly, etc) or an axe to grind (Fowler, etc).

Your list above suggests that in beating the #14 team on the CFP's list and thus clinching a P5 Championship, the Buckeyes would:
  • Get passed by a non-champion that beat a sub .500 team.
  • Not pass a non-champion that got absolutely curb stomped in their CG.
  • Get passed by a team that lost their CG and now has THREE losses.
  • Get passed by a G5 team that just won their "tallest midget" game against a team ranked ten spots behind the team that tOSU just beat.
  • Get passed by a team that has two losses including one to a sub .500 team.

Dude, put the crack pipe down.
