Well, excluding big plays any team makes suddenly makes them pedestrian I guess. Without Marvin Harrison making big plays and scoring touchdowns Ohio State is pedestrian. Just not sure how an argument to ignore or overlook big plays is a sound one.

Michigan defense forced 3 turnovers and held Iowa to 35 yards rushing. Time of possession favored Michigan 36:28 to 23:32. Iowa averaged 240 ypg on offense, Michigan held them to 155. Averaged 16.6 ppg and held to zero.

On the flip side, I think Iowa deserves more credit on defense. They were #2 in the country in defensive yards per play. #4 in scoring defense. #5 in total defense. 

Again, I can see the statement that Michigan didn’t look flashy or great on offense but they didn’t need to because the defense controlled the game.

Michigan didn't need to, they were playing Iowa

Michigan is also undefeated.  They don't need to talk themselves up or apologize.
They are in.

If Jordan Travis was healthy, FSU would be in.

That's the simple point.  Ignoring that he's out wouldn't be prudent.

Politics and money win again.    Shocking. 

Those guys on the committee should really be ashamed of themselves.

WOW.  I'm surprised, and I'm delighted.  Should be a great tourney.

Already looking at trying to get to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl.

Too bad we don't get a Michigan-Washington game in the Rose Bow, but the seedings are correct I think.

So the Boo guy cited Travis being out.  Then why is FSU ahead of UGA???

Now I am going to return your name calling since that is all you know. 


the answer is obvious DUMBASS.    They had to creat a narrative to support their purely political decision to ignore results and choose Bama.

Harbaugh just thanked baby Jesus for getting in the playoff. 

:sign0137:

I guess OSU should have prayed more?

So you're making the claim that ranking Bama 4 and FSU 5 is a political decision.

What is the evidence to support your claim?

it was 10000% a political decision. 

FSU is the first ever undefeated P5 conference champ to get left out. Unprecedented. 

Ohio State lost it’s starting QB in 2014 and still made it into the CFP. Oh yeah and they won the entire damn thing. Precedent for a team losing it’s QB and making the CFP. 

This trash committee just decided to ignore precedent and disregard you know- results on the football field- all in order to do something completely unprecedented all in order to blow the SEC/Nick Saban.
