OSU crushes Michigan like bugs, ending playoff hopes

[78]

I absolutely want to play UCF.

But I didnt last year.

I didnt really want to play any games w Butters. It was not a question of winning or losing. Even the wins were painful and embarrassing displays of total incompetence, even against directional schools. the only reason butters did not lose to a 1AA or directional school is that he got fired too quickly.

You'll be highly conflicted if it happens.

One of the biggest obstacles for us to overcome is getting the faction of fans who prescribe to the old myths and injunctions imposed on us by the sports media outlets we listen to, to come back to reality. But their axioms are pounded into our subconscious every time we tune in, making it difficult.

The result has been detrimental to having any real playoff system. Fans would rather argue about who will beat who rather than settling it on the field. On one side of the coin they'll tell UCF to go play a tougher schedule. On the other side of the coin they want no part of them in a playoff setting. Because they fear what might happen if the result isn't what they've guaranteed us. It's ok for UCF to play Alabama any week of the regular season, but not in a playoff week?

There is a lot of therapy needed on college football fans first. Once the majority is on board for a real objective playoff, they will no longer be able to deny us what we deserve.

You talk in generalities about data, but don't address data when it is shown to you. You talk about facts but yet use absolutely none. The thing that is going to piss you off the most is UCF has had their opportunity to get in the playoffs. They have an 11 game resume. That resume is so bad they aren't even getting a call back for a phone interview. They are getting shot down like Ox when he wants some sexy time with Mrs Ox. Just like a employment resume you choose where you go to school and where you work. They choose their conference and out of conference games. Their resume isn't worth a call back.

I'll bet you couldn't get laid in a morgue.

Notice this isn't a denial of being shot down by Mrs Ox...

Your logic would only have validity if the teams with easier schedules than UCF were also undefeated. But that's not reality. Therefore, we must give credit where credit is due.

Any effort to discredit UCF (assuming they beat an explosive Memphis team again) or any other non preferred 5 conference champion, is simply delusional. That delusion is created by fear. Fear of having all the injunctions we've been taught by experts our whole lives be exposed as false.

Fear has nothing to do with it. Common sense...now that has something to do with it. Want to play with the big boys? Then play with them during the season. Can't get them to play you? Join their conference. I don't want to see some pissant school get murdered by Alabama just because they happened to win their insignificant conference.

You keep yammering on and on about what you deserve or how important it is to have some morally justified (by you) national champion. Nah. Its not that important, and you really don't deserve anything.

 

[oxrageous]

Perhaps there should be a new division made between FBS and FCS, in which teams like UCF could win a NC.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Your logic would only have validity if the teams with easier schedules than Central were also undefeated..

Vandy and Ole Miss would be undefeated with that pvssy schedule.

If Central manages to win the cupcake conference, I would love to have the honors of beating the piss out of them.

What's that like?

Probably a little stiff....but willing...

I'm guessing for you that's about 20 years.
Tell us. Should North Dakota have a shot at the NC? They're undefeated.
Or how about Trinity Christian Academy? Also undefeated.
Of course not because they don't play big boy competition.
What everybody knows, outside of myopic UCF fans, is that every team in the top 20 would be undefeated against UCF's schedule. There isn't any effort to discredit UCF because they have no credit. Get used to it because UCF is never gonna make it to the big leagues.

My ex.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

My ex.

trauma?

 

[78]

trauma?

Yeah, let me take a big shot at her before she logs on.

No, she is my current. I'm talking many moon ago.

There is a division for UCF. It is called 1AA/FCS.

They were never able to win championships there either though.

Its a cold cold world closing in on me.....

We see the casual fan suffers from denial too. They don't really want a legitimate national champion.

If they really believed a non preferred 5 conference champion would get blown out by the "big boys" then they wouldn't care if they made the playoffs or not. It would be no big deal.

In fact if they really believed it would be a blow out, the opposite reaction would occur and they would be begging a non preferred 5 conference champ to get in, since it would be a guaranteed win.

Again it is fear that causes panic in the brainwashed mind of the casual fan. Fear that the myths will be exposed and the truth realised. That all division 1 programs that win their conference are worthy of a playoff spot.

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Or...they might just like watching good football. Something they are deprived of if garbage teams are suddenly allowed into the playoffs.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

That all division 1 programs that win their conference are worthy of a playoff spot.

I'm not aware of anyone who has said that. In fact most of us who don't want an expanded playoff have said exactly the opposite, that two loss champions or teams that didn't win their conference have no business competing for a "national championship" .
