"Over the past 7 years, UMass is 8-68.

In their 14 seasons as an FBS program, they are 26-134. They haven’t won more than 4 games in a season at the FBS level.

They’ve had 7 head coaches since 2012 and it’s been the same results with all of them.

It might be time for UMass to drop back down to the FCS level."

Ouch.

 

[Jetskies]

UMass caps the perfect season with Bowling Green loss.
there are no words.
What does one even do.

 

[Vowelguy]

I’m impressed that they gave up 40 points 8 times but never 50 points.

 

[How Sway?!]

Texas about to beat A&M. SEC is really about to get 6 teams in aren't they

 

[Vowelguy]

Texas presents an interesting conundrum for the committee

Bad loss: Florida, Georgia (margin)
Quality wins: TAMU, Oklahoma, vsndy
Ok loss: @Ohio St

I’d probably take the Horns over both ND and Miam, tho the committee probably won’t

That loss to Florida is worse than any Miami or ND loss. Texas wins also aren't that much better than ND or Miami's to outweigh the fact that they have a worse record

IU is ready for B1G Ten Championship @ Lucas Oil- should be a massive Hoosier turnout

Are you kidding me? They just beat the #3 team and one of 3 undefeated.

NDs best win is USC, a team likely below Vandy. Really their only good win.

Who has ND beat? I believe USC is their best win?

 

[Vowelguy]

Based on Quality of wins
1 Texas
2 Miami
3 ND

Based on quality of losses
1 ND
2 Mia
3 Tex

I am going to assume ND will beat Stanford. So if Miami beats Pitt and you put those three teams together you would have a situation where Miami beat one of them straight up (ND) and would have beaten the common opponent that Texas lost to (Florida). I would love to hear the committee explain that away.

Two teams that really need to be careful today are Oklahoma and Alabama. I think losses will put either one of them out. Not to mention how crazy a Michigan win would make things.

If Miami crushes PItt by a bigger score than ND, then you are correct head to head you would think Miami would get the bid. But given the committee has ND ahead of Miami I think only way Miami gets in is if either Oklahoma or Alabama have to lose today.

I think they could beat Pitt by 100 points and it wouldn't matter. This committee is putting ND in no matter what. I was more pointing out how you can pick this thing apart when you group certain teams together.

I agree with you. ND has always been one of the committee’s favorite team due to their popularity. I am rooting for Michigan to beat Ohio State. That would put the rankings into chaos.

That result would certainly end any discussion about Texas. I know he has to speak up for his team, but listening to Sark crying about having played Ohio State as if Texas was doing the fans of college football a favor for having done it just irked the heck out of me.

Cool now we get to here how a 9-3 Texas deserve to be in the playoffs over a 11-1 BYU.

I feel for BYU, because unless they win their conference championship, they will be out. If they had one win that really stood out, they would be in a much better spot. Having said that, if they don't slip up today, they will have a chance to win their way in.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Anyone else watching OSU/MI? Michigan just picked off the Ohio St QB and both DBs did the same nose wipe thing that Bell did in the end zone. Of course…they didn’t get a 15 yard penalty.

My friend works at ESPN and said the whole bet side of the business is lobbying against BYU in the CFP.
