WV loses by 1 point to a higher-ranked team and falls out of the top 25.

That's crazy! So wierd WVU is out of Top 25.

31-24=1

 

[TK2000]

We win our next 3 we will be top 10. One game at a time though

 

[Frogcrates]

Is there anyone who watched that game that seriously doesn't believe WVU to be a top 25 team? Hell, their defense alone was worthy of being ranked.

I was a liberal arts major. My 'rithmetic not so good.

 

[Portland Frog]

how many losses will it take to knock UF out? Is an 0-3 start sufficient?

 

[MavAlbert]

A TCU win is #s 1-10 on my list of darns given this weekend, but #11 and #12 are OU>OSU and ISU>Iowa.

OU, TCU, and ISU have a chance to completely change the narrative about the big 12 in one week (along with top 20 OSU and KSU blowing out a couple more overmatched opponents). And we could, at least for a moment, live in a world where TCU is a contender, the Big 12 is respected, and UT and Baylor both suck.

We win our next 11, stand at 12-0, and get elevated to #6 and maybe considered for final four, unless Ohio State can end up at 10-2 or better..

I'll bite. He says that (although I know it was tongue-in-cheek. At least I hope it was), although there has been zero precedent for that scenario whatsoever. No team from another conference has ever made the playoffs ahead of a Big 12 team that had a better record. Since it hasn't happened yet, why do so many people say that's it almost automatic that it will happen?

In 2014 one loss on the road to Baylor was a better record than one loss at home to Va Tech.

True, but since one team can make it in with a weaker SOS and a loss at home against an unranked team over a team with a stronger SOS and a 1 point loss on the road to a Top 25 team that was also co-conference champion I'd logic and reason have very little to do with College Football rankings or the playoff selection.

Yes, and 55-3 also clearly means a drop from 3 to 6. That's happened before, right?

Ohio State had a stronger SOS than both TCU and Baylor.

You're right about the worse loss though, no doubt about that one.

Doesn't kind of depend on how good VaTech turns out to be?

But come on, you have to give the brownie points to tosu for beating the crap out of that powerhouse Wisconsin team that lost to Northwestern.

It was a very logical and reasonable decision if you don't look at it through purple goggles. I've pointed out why a million times. Our "best" win was a home game over the 16th ranked team. Go through the past three years and find a playoff team who didn't beat a Top 15 team.

Regardless, let me know next time (or the first time) a Big 12 team with a better record than a team from another conference gets jumped by that team.
