Just stop, you are making yourself look silly.
In 2016 Penn State lost to a mediocre Pitt team and got annihilated by a Michigan team that Ohio State beat.
Lack of certainty is not the same thing as game results not mattering.
Penn State's win over Ohio State mattered but so did Ohio State's 11 wins, Penn State's other 10 wins, AND Penn State's two bad losses.
The fact that you thought the committee got the wrong answer does not mean that game results did not matter, it means that they ALL mattered not just divisional games.
Yes it does! I mean, when you are wrong you're wrong, and here you are 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, living in a dreamland wrong.
It doesn't matter that you can say, in retrospect, what games matter and what didn't. That doesn't tell you, at the time they are played, when they are played, how they will matter and why. The stakes are uncertain. If you like that, more power to you, though there is a reason pretty much all sports that can have moved away from that system. When the games are played, you don't know if they matter, whether they will matter, and how they will matter. That's the whole problem! The 2016 Big Ten Championship was maybe for something and maybe not for something. While you were watching, you didn't know. It was NOT, win and you advance, which is exciting. It was "win and hope" which is very much more of a wet fart.
Which is what I'm railing against. You and OAM and whomever seem to want more wet fart games. I want games that actually matter and you know what the stakes are. We clearly don't have that right now, nor do we have much access for other teams. It's a lose/lose for causal fans and fans of everyone but the best teams.
