Big 10 Championship ( #1 Oregon vs #3 Penn State)

[BigOrangeTrain]

That has been our defense’s Achilles Heel this year.

Nowhere near as bad as it has been in the past

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Penn State likely played well enough to hold their seeding.

They’ll go to 6 probably

Surprise! Penn State and James Franklin lose another top 10 matchup.

Please remind me who they have actually beaten?

 

[Wezcoast]

That was on Franklin and couldn't happen to a better person.

 

[mackievol]

Oh my god

 

[Wezcoast]

They’re Clemsoning lol.

omg yes . I somehow forgot about that . They just doin what they do.

 

[mackievol]

Kick would have been good from 60

Boise and smu are already in without a conference championship game. They already played their way in.

SMU just lost - now they wait to see if the committee selects them or Bama.

 

[jaybird_1981]

If SMU gets left our over Bama after that it will be a joke

SMU, like Penn State, played nor beat no ranked team.

Hey that lone 9-3 Illinois win is solid

Also, include Texas in that list.

Fine then drop SMU from the playoffs, and PSU below us. We host and Bama is in. I’m good with that.

Otherwise with the results tonight you keep SMU, drop Bama out, and we go to Columbus.

 

[JFreak]

Looking pretty certain that we'll be heading to Columbus.

The latter is the only scenario that makes sense logically

But I would not be surprised if the committee flips the whole country the bird and puts Bama in

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Looking pretty certain that we'll be heading to Columbus.

Not what I wanted but hey I’m not going to be angry. We are in the playoffs for the first time ever.

And no one can say we didn’t earn it unlike other teams that are in

 

[DaddyChad]

Looking pretty certain that we'll be heading to Columbus.

Unless they’re going to drop Penn state behind Ohio state somehow.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Unless they’re going to drop Penn state behind Ohio state somehow.

The only way I see that happening is if the committee suddenly decides Head to Head wins actually matter.

They might, they do love Ohio State but I think Penn State will more likely be the number 6 seed

 

[JFreak]

Meh.. I think PSU needed to lose by 21+ tonight for that to happen. Although I will say that no one is talking about the fact our resume should be theoretically improved based on the UGA wining the SEC.

Idk. Where do you put Texas? They lost in OT. Texas, Notre Dame, Penn State all could be at 5 or 6 by different reasoning; I do feel like Notre Dame is the least deserving. Committee also could just set up the matchups they want then reason why the seeding is that way.

Personally I would like to try to avoid any first round rematches.

I'm glad Penn State lost, and I'm glad Bama ain't making the playoffs. Tonight was about all one could ask for.

I was hoping to play Penn State if only to watch my husband freak out about it

 

[DaddyChad]

Still wish Oregon had managed to stop Penn State a few times and blow them out to give us a chance at a home game.

High chance that Bama makes the playoff. SMU was NOT guaranteed a spot, just like all the others that played tonight who lost. The committee never said the losers were guaranteed a place.

They aren't dropping SMU more than 3 spots.
