[QUOTE="rifram09, post: 1831434, member: 70325"] I seriously think this committee is weighing your intent in OOC scheduling. I.e., does it appear you intended to schedule ONLY easy wins OOC, relying on your conference mates to boost your SOS? If so, you're not getting any benefit of the doubt from the committee. I don't think that means you are automatically out, but I think it means you can't slip up. It also seems they aren't going to care about style points or MOV. This signals they don't expect you to win a beauty pageant--they just expect you to win. This makes sense. If you had to blow people out, it incentivizes the wrong things: lack of sportsmanship, punishes you even in the face of gutty comebacks, etc. This doesn't mean the Kansas game was ok, but it does appear everyone in the media who said the Kansas game ruined us was an idiot. WVU was a huge slip up for Baylor. Ohio State obviously had a huge slip up to Va Tech. We haven't had a huge slip up yet. We've had close calls, but no slip ups. Baylor's OOC intent and slip up to WVU has them near the back of the line. I'm getting more confident that beating KSU at the end of the year isn't some automatic clincher for them to get in. From a resume perspective: Ohio State > Baylor TCU > Ohio State Although Baylor > TCU on one day, Baylor < WVU on another day. And TCU > WVU. SO... you have to look at more than just head to head. How are they going to jump both of us merely by beating KSU? We still play a resurgent Texas and OSU still plays a ranked team and a CCG. It may happen at the end of the day, but I think this committee is sending a strong message, and they have a very logical argument here. [/QUOTE]
