blah blah blah blah

I think you're wrong, too. 

That was easy.

I'm not worried about convincing you.  You see what you choose to see, same as it ever was.

You are, he's not.  His posts are so long and boring and wrong, they're easy to ignore. :)

This is the 15-25 ranking in the coaches poll.  I imagine most of us would reorder this a bit, and probably add some 26-30 teams to replace these, but why bother?


For one thing, it's one vote out of 60 or so.  For another, it doesn't matter is Nebraska should be 22nd instead of Syracuse.  Meh.
Well, yeah, I don’t think anyone is really going to disagree with any of that.  But the nature of your posts seem to be “It doesn’t really matter, so why bother with the effort?”  And that’s fine, too.  Whenever we’ve ever done polls on here it’s not like they count for anything but when I do polls I do try my best to rank them the best I can.  Of course it’s just an opinion and people are free to disagree with it but I’m putting forth an effort.

And it actually does sort of matter in the real CFP poll who they have in the top 25 and who they don’t.  One of the things they look at is top 25 wins.  So while realistically a win over a team ranked 25 isn’t really any different than a win over a team ranked 28 it can make a difference when comparing resumes who are in the hunt for the playoff.

I'll take this as your continuing admission that you lack anything even resembling evidence of helmet bias in cfp selections.  Thank you for clearing that up.

I get what Utee is saying.  Fearless specifically pointed out a Big 12 contender could benefit from a Big Ten West team upsetting a Big Ten East team in the CCG.  Any upset in any CCG would benefit another CFP contender from any conference.

It just seemed unnecessary to point out the Big 12 could benefit from a Big Ten CCG upset.

LOL.  Fair enough.  Wouldn’t it have benefitted Ohio St for Oklahoma to get upset in the CCG last year though?

hah, it also wasn't necessary for the Sooner to point out:  The door is semi-open for the Huskers.

But, that's just how the Sooners and Huskers enjoy each other's company

it's all in good clean fun

Sorry.  I guess the bear poking went over my head.  LOL.

Fearless said that in the context of my comment--responding to his point that the B1G put all the weak teams in the West--that the B1G West was therefore open for a Husker resurgence.

That, as I took it, is why he mentioned a hypothetical B1G West team winning the CCG and a hypothetical Big 12 champ that would need help making the CFP.

(Just so you know, despite what Fearless might believe about his own unique set of skills, the pot-stirring goes both ways, C0dubb ;) )
