I have been away from the forum since the 24th and this thread has turned into an absolute s****storm.
Really, a 5-7 team putting up 500 total yards in a destruction of an 8-4 team "evens out" against an OT loss due to a missed FG? Really?
Exactly. One win and one loss. That's why they keep score. Indiana and UCLA were both favored. Indiana was favored by 3. UCLA was favored by 4.5 at kickoff. Not much difference. Both lost.
But enough of that.

It goes against my Pac 12 but I have to emphasize "my" conference has played in 5 low level bowl games and I believed favored in all. It's hard to get too excited about being the "leader" at this point. Lol. Will be fun to see what happens New Years Day. Especially curious about Iowa v. Stanford. Since my buddy is a big Iowa guy I'll be rooting for them.

Your statement seems out of place in this thread as it's not about the Big 10 and, more particularly, Ohio State. However, I am sure someone can show how one team beating the other will have an impact on why Ohio State got screwed and should be in the playoffs.

Now see that makes it sound like schedule quality doesn't matter. Only record. I'll also have to remember that quality of win (in OT by a missed v. domination in yardage) doesn't matter either.
By the way, early afternoon of the game I money-lined Nebraska at +220. At that time it was +6.5. I'm surprised it got down to 4.5.
PS: I like Baylor straight-up at +150 - you shouldn't need the +3.

Note 4.5 at the bottom. They get their feed from one of the major betting sites.
110 yards is hardly domination/ destruction. Geez, MSU out gained OSU by 160 yards and almost doubled OSU in time of possession. I wouldn't say MSU destroyed OSU. Besides since when is anything but a win that matters? I had Nebraska straight up as well. Yes records can be deceiving. Nebraska actually did play a tough schedule both in and out of the Big Ten. People missed that. My point all along which I stated but is ignored is that this was a bad loss for the Big Ten as they are not favored in the majority of their games. Is was also a bad, tough loss if you were Indiana. They let that game get away from them. I'm sure it hurt the way they lost.

Going through the match-ups, some more fun with numbers:
SEC teams play 4 ranked teams, 1 of which is Top 10
Big Ten teams play 6 ranked teams, 3 of which are Top 10
Pac 12 teams play 2 ranked teams, 1 of which is Top 10
No Pac 12 v. SEC matchups. No Big 10 v Big 12 match-ups
So while the head-to-head match-ups will be telling, I don't think raw standings will because it is not a true apples to apples comparison.
Note: I used the rankings ESPN is using on its Bowl Schedule page.
I want to drop this here, so it is not forgotten. (from 12/9 10:14PM)
And I want to drop this here also from the same time more or less.
games where there is good symmetry as the games to judge:
USC vs Wisconsin
Iowa vs Stanford
MSU vs Alabama
Michigan vs Florida
Northwestern vs Tennessee
Penn State vs Georgia
A 5 loss USC vs a 3 loss Wisconsin and a 5 loss Penn St team vs a 3 loss Georgia team. Those two games balance each other out. The other games are all close record wise

USC vs Wisconsin is a pretty even matchup considering they are both top 25 teams. On the other hand, the Penn State vs Georgia game is a mismatch. Penn State is next to awful this year.

Watching all 4 games today. The USC vs Wisconsin should be a good game. I'm interested in that one bc we played Wisconsin earlier in the year and we open with USC next year. Wisconsin was pretty good, they played us tough. I'll be pulling for the Badgers tonight, but I think USC wins.

You're wrong but I'm getting used to that. You need to get out more.im concerned for you.
I live in LA. ( I split time between there and NYC) You can't make it to SD in three hours unless it's in the middle of the night or right about now. I've tried countless times. You are taking the long way from Nashville to Louiseville. It's a little shorter. That drive I've made in 2 hours +. Tell me you are not using Mapquest
Anyways let's get back to football and work on your geography skills at a later date. The final four is tomorrow. Greatest day of the year. I'm jacked.

Garnett, here's a tough question for you. Which city is closer to Nashville, Louisville or College Station? Clue....College Station is in Texas.

I have Michigan winning that game. Florida's offense is terrible but their defense is pretty good. I look for both Florida and Michigan to only get better over the next few years.
SAN ANTONIO - Texas Christian University may be without its starting quarterback for the Valero Alamo Bowl following an early morning arrest Thursday.
According to preliminary reports, Trevone Boykin, 22, was arrested just before 2 a.m. for assaulting a police officer following a disturbance at Pat O' Brien's, a bar in downtown San Antonio.
Sgt. Jesse Salame, a spokesperson for the SAPD, said employees were attempting to help remove Boykin from the bar when Boykin allegedly swung at an officer who was attempting to assist.
Boykin was taken to the Bexar County Magistrate office on charges of assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, and public intoxication.
Police said EMS treated the officer for injuries sustained during the fight.
Boykin, a senior from Dallas, Texas, has played in 11 games this season completing 64.9% of this throws for 3,575 yards and 31 touchdowns. He was fourth in the Heisman trophy voting for 2014.
No. 11 TCU plays no. 15 Oregon Saturday night.

Bummer about the Boykin. I can just see Patterson working it over in his mind. "Well, there's no proof he did these things... maybe I'll suspend him after the game... hmmmmmmmm...."

Dude, I have driven both roads. LA to SD is 3 hours minimum and often 4. The traffic is insane through LA, Orange and most of SD county. You simply can not drive fast on those roads. Louisville to Nashville is flat out 75 MPH the whole way. It's a wash at best.

I'm starting to see why the SEC AND pac 12 wins so many bowls. How cool was it that Auburn got to play right in their own back yard today.
You forgot to mention that LSU beat Texas Tech in Houston and Miss State beat N.C. State in Charlotte. A&M and Louisville are next up playing in Nashville, Louisville's back yard.
I didn't know Nashville was in Kentucky?

Louisville and Nashville are 150 miles apart. You can drive there much quicker then you could from LA to San Diego.

You're wrong but I'm getting used to that. You need to get out more.im concerned for you.
I live in LA. ( I split time between there and NYC) You can't make it to SD in three hours unless it's in the middle of the night or right about now. I've tried countless times. You are taking the long way from Nashville to Louiseville. It's a little shorter. That drive I've made in 2 hours +. Tell me you are not using Mapquest
Anyways let's get back to football and work on your geography skills at a later date. The final four is tomorrow. Greatest day of the year. I'm jacked.

Garnett, here's a tough question for you. Which city is closer to Nashville, Louisville or College Station? Clue....College Station is in Texas.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Congrats to the Badgers- Should Michigan win, looks as if the Big Ten will have more than its fair share of teams that won 10 games.
I have Michigan winning that game. Florida's offense is terrible but their defense is pretty good. I look for both Florida and Michigan to only get better over the next few years.
According to preliminary reports, Trevone Boykin, 22, was arrested just before 2 a.m. for assaulting a police officer following a disturbance at Pat O' Brien's, a bar in downtown San Antonio.
Sgt. Jesse Salame, a spokesperson for the SAPD, said employees were attempting to help remove Boykin from the bar when Boykin allegedly swung at an officer who was attempting to assist.
Boykin was taken to the Bexar County Magistrate office on charges of assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, and public intoxication.
Police said EMS treated the officer for injuries sustained during the fight.
Boykin, a senior from Dallas, Texas, has played in 11 games this season completing 64.9% of this throws for 3,575 yards and 31 touchdowns. He was fourth in the Heisman trophy voting for 2014.
No. 11 TCU plays no. 15 Oregon Saturday night.

Bummer about the Boykin. I can just see Patterson working it over in his mind. "Well, there's no proof he did these things... maybe I'll suspend him after the game... hmmmmmmmm...."
Both he and WR Preston Miller suspended.

Dude, I have driven both roads. LA to SD is 3 hours minimum and often 4. The traffic is insane through LA, Orange and most of SD county. You simply can not drive fast on those roads. Louisville to Nashville is flat out 75 MPH the whole way. It's a wash at best.

Bosa is projected #1 pick. Several Ohio State players in the first round but I am sure Urban will re-load next year. That guy is amazing at bringing in the players.
Wow Wisconsin had to play both USC and the refs. They robbed Wisconsin of a go ahead TD in the 4th quarter. That was one of the worst officiating games I have ever seen.
Just curious but has whatever team you are rooting for ever benefited from bad refs? Or is it always against your team?

Congrats to Clemson. What a performance. I can see why they were #1.
mark
Yep, those boys played some good football today. Proud of Dabo !!
looks like a possible "game for the ages" in the Championship. I should apologize to anyone following Clemson, I underestimated them. Swiney should be Coach of the Year.
Alabama is playing the Big 10's best Team, right?? MSU and Dantonio are an embarrassment.
2nd best team. Only reason MSU beat OSU was because Zeke was on his death bed that week.
