What makes Georgia's loss to 4-6 South Carolina demonstratively better than OSU's 2015 loss to a once beaten Michigan State team?

My brain just imploded on that one.  For real?

Got down into the low 20's for the 1st time the last two nights.And of course the furnace quits.Good thing it was only a reset  switch....so far.Failed to light then auto kicks out.Also have a fire place and heat pump and some George Dickel 12.And the Buckeyes warming up to curb stomp M & PSU after the exhibition with a New Jersey High School Squad.Hell maybe the Browns can shake the bogies vs the Squeelers
We had a record (for the date) low of 15 yesterday morning.  Actually, it tied a record set in (or around, maybe) 1911.  I think the wind chill was 4.

Per SP+, they're No. 83 (4.7 points below average), No. 66 (half point below average) and a good FCS.

It strikes me that everyone is basically right. In one light, Minnesota could be a top-5 team. In another, they're not. And there isn't much that makes one side right or wrong.

(Also, NW last year was not all that good a team and seems a pretty poor comparison to make)

After losing to Duke and Akron, NW only lost to #14 Michigan by three and #3 Notre Dame (who went to the CFP) by ten before going to the Big Ten Championship.  They lost to #6 Ohio State by 21....but that's forgivable.  They beat 20th ranked Utah in the Holiday Bowl 31-20.

Akron finished 4-8 last year.

Sorry I don't just go along with old, lazy opinions with zero support.  I'll just respond to your posts with a, "yeah, I guess".  You're obviously not a fan of actual conversation, challenge, or dialogue. 



Zero support?Don't let me disturb your wonderings in the land of make believe.Bama lost at home with 2 weeks rest and and according to the bats in your Belfry LSU isn't necessarily better.Well hell let's just use the scoreboards to land Airplanes or Holiday displays.Why bother playing the games or keeping score Obi Wan?Dialogue with the dragons marching around on your medula.In the last 6 post seasons Bama has lost 4 times to Ohio State & Oklahoma once apiece and Clemson twice.Somebody else gets the mulligan if they win out

South Carolina picked up a bunch of good losses in the SEC.

You're citing irrelevancies......2 weeks rest.  Losses in previous seasons.  You're no longer part of the conversation.

Take up your rabid, frothing, mouth-breathing arguments with the playoff committee, bud.
