Other Games Thread - Week 12

[More Frogs the Better]

I’m still a little worried about Baylor getting into the playoffs. Yes I know the committee will do everything they can to keep them out, but consider the following scenario:

1) With Tua out for the season, Alabama loses to Auburn, falling to 10-2
2) Either Oregon or Utah loses another game this season before winning the Pac 12 championship game, leading to an 11-2 Pac 12 champion
3) Georgia loses to LSU in the SEC championship game, falling to 11-2
4) Jalen Hurts gets hurt against TCU or Okie State, leading to a Baylor win in the Big 12 championship game rematch.

That's a lot of stuff to happen and even if it all did happen, the committee's ranking of an undefeated Baylor pretty much tells you everything you need to know about their chances of getting in under just about any circumstances.

 

[Wexahu]

Not gonna happen

It just can’t, ok?

I highly doubt it. Terrible OOC, a few very underwhelming wins over average teams, and maybe one marquee win. They’ll be last in line of the 1-loss teams. But I doubt they win their next three anyway.

Yeah, it would be one thing if Baylor had been running the score up on everyone all year, but this Baylor team was squeaking by on luck and mediocre victories the entire season. Their only chance was to get in by being undefeated and the committee having no choice but to let them in.

All those two loss teams would be in front of a 1 loss Baylor IMO.

Oregon or Utah are going to be in this year.

I think OU is going to get all they can handle in Stillwater.

This is the sweetest 21-point choke job baylor has had against a top 10 team since Michigan State 2014

 

[Planks]

Maybe. Is there any precedent for the committee choosing a team with a worse record over a team with a better record?

I'm an Auburn fan. I really don't feel the Tigers beat Bama. And I'm just sick about Tua. That was just heartbreaking. I really hope he comes back full strength to play again. Great kid and he deserves all he can get in life.

by the way, who has the Mortal Kombat gif?

 

[Mean Purple]

Oregon or Utah are going to be in this year.

Oregon's qb is like a shark in the water. Just waits and then hits on a big play.

And Utah’s defense is pretty nasty. That should be a very good CCG.

 

[Mean Purple]

Was thinking the same thing. Hoping they both get their in solid fashion, then have a lights out game. UTAH looked so solid in all phases this week.

 

[jake102]

Baylor’s absurd OOC slate will keep them out with one loss. A two loss Georgia (with one being in CCG) would go ahead of them

Baylor 21, Rice 13
That's all the CFP needs to know

You are irrationally delusional. Seriously.

Edit. BU falls to 16-20 in the next CFP ranking.

They’re officially totally irrelevant again. Even if they play in the Big 12 title game people are done talking about them in 2019. The look on Brewer’s face after the last pick was quite satisfying .

There's not another college team in America that could get the full force of twitter laughing at them.

I get it, it was a cool story. Program in ruins, 1-11 in 2017, 9-0 in 2019...... but at the end of the day nobody wants to like Baylor so any excuse not to will be seized upon immediately. Next step is finding a way to get Rhule out of there.

Reminded me a lot of Briles face at the end of our 2015 game. “Is that it” Yes Art that’s it.
