Having worked in the petrochemical industry for many years, I can tell you that almost every single incident is due to negligence of the people operating the equipment. From basic operators up to engineers and beyond. Almost all of them are avoidable.
I'm aware, that's their "best team" criteria. It's not FSU's fault that Clemson isn't that good this year and Florida sucks. They did schedule LSU in their non-conference so they at least tried to bolster their schedule.
Here's my question that makes me think it was all about putting Bama in...
It's pretty simple why FSU got screwed. There's no way the committee wasn't putting the SEC champ in. They'd rather take flack from the ACC and FSU than Bama and the SEC. But they couldn't take Bama without Texas, so that left FSU on the outside looking in. They can easily justify it because...
Totally different scenario last year. Heading into the final week of the season OSU was 2 and Michigan was 3. After Michigan won they moved to 2 and OSU to 5, behind USC who moved to 4. Then USC lost to Utah in the Pac12 Championship game, so USC had 2 losses and were out and Utah had 3 losses...
I didn't bet. I never do on Michigan, even though I usually guess pretty good against the spread.
Texas did something else Michigan, Washington and FSU didn't do. Lost a game.
They have 2 options:
Michigan
Washington
FSU
Texas
Michigan
Washington
Texas
Alabama
If they're hell bent on...
Yeah out of 130 teams Iowa is ranked 130 in total offense and yards per play, and 121 in scoring offense. Not worried lol. They do have a good defense, but when the offense keeps them on the field the whole game it doesn't matter. I expect the Michigan starters to be on the bench before the end...
Agreed 100% but anything is possible when it comes to the ESS EEE SEE.
Yep, OSU would get it. 1-8 all have a path into the final 4. 4 control their destiny and the other 4 need help, but it's all possible. Texas shouldn't have been tied with Wyoming going into the 4th quarter or need a late...
Agreed, and the GT game will have no effect on UGA's votes.
I've had this conversation a few times. Something tells me the committee wouldn't have the balls to leave Bama out, even though they should.
What about this scenario, assuming the CFP playoff poll follows the AP and Coaches poll...
Really? Butthurt over simple "they're not tough" comments? Woody Hayes going for 2 late in blowout wins, Michigan kicking a FG late in a blowout win. This shit started in the 40's. Acting like OSU is just pure class in this rivalry is pretty funny.
Those weren't just mistakes by OSU. Johnson...
Because they've won 29 games in a row and 2 titles. Should the previous 2 years matter? No, but they do to the pollsters. Their best wins this year were Ole Miss and Missouri. Michigan's were OSU and PSU. OSU would beat the brakes off of both of those teams. PSU would probably beat them too. Oh...
Show me on the doll where he touched you. Since the story broke:
5-0
2 wins vs top 10 teams
Outscored opponents 175-76
Big10 East Champs and soon to be Big10 Champs.
They don't need no stinkin signs.
These coaches get the signs and share them with other teams. People act like this is sacrilege, it's not. Just wait until all the info comes out on what teams have been doing. Talk about a can of worms. It'll make a bunch of goons with cellphones look like child's play.
And again, it has...
