Well. Another week and another weak opponent for OSU and UL. And a bunch of other schools. It gets old and makes for a mediocre weekend football. The playoff system has to start taking this into account. It ain’t gonna work. It will lead to more chaos and changes.
Teams with weak schedules (OSU, UL)
- Thread starter canebreak
- Start date
Good luck with Vanderbilt next week.
That's why we need the 9 games plus sec vs big 10 ooc every season.
And osu has 4 ranked oponents left (5 if they make big 10 title game). They are 100% gonna earn or not earn a playoff bid.
UL has Clemson, Miami and UK and I expect them to lose all 3 by double digits.

Something about those two lists seems different
We play y’all, it doesn’t matter who has the hardest schedule.

Wait till end of season and look where those teams are ranked ? Lville plays in a joke football league. They beat their chest and crow about how good they are until they gotta play a real football team. We were in the bottom half of the sec and how’d that work out for you. Glorified pretenders.
Just like the Pitt game last year, we gave it away.
Couple of questions (haven't watched any of your games): I briefly looked at your season stats, Is your passing game more downfield passes? If I recall correctly, your number of plays are middle of the pack but total offense is ranked high. How's the run and pass?
SMU is not a scrub. That have a legit defense. Louisville had better thing so also, If not, they may leave with a L (down) today.
The two schedules are not even remotely close. One team plays 4 teams in the top ten, the other doesn't. They play ONE legit team and a bunch of pretenders / fringe top 25 teams. By the end of the year, the ACC will have ONE (Miami) team ranked in the top 10/12, maybe Notre Dame will hang in the top 25. USC is the only team worth a damn they have left to play. So the SHOULD stay ranked, but not because they are that good, it is their schedule is that bad. Stanford, Georgia Tech, Navy, FSU, Army, Virginia, LOL. Cake schedule.
ACC is a fraud. Clemson at 15 is a joke, they will fall, Louisville will probably lose at least 2 more, so they will fade also. Miami and by way of a easy schedule, Notre Dame will be in the top 20. I will say ONE ACC team gets in the playoffs. ONE. ND will not have enough quaality wins to get there and if they drop another game, no chance.

If ND wins out they 100% make the playoff. Dont like it but it will happen. It's politics. I agree 10 and 2 shouldn't make it but favoritism for ND idk.
I was saying if they lose another game. I agree, if they run the table and by doing that beat USC, they will get in. But, ONE loss, no matter who to, they are done. USC will have more losses by the end of the year, so that win will not save them if they lose a game before that one. Also, if they don't lose another game but lose the USC game, they get left out. If will be the last game of the year and wrong time to lose. Just not enough good / great wins for them to get with their schedule. Winning will keep them in the mix, even by beating decent teams, but one slip up, they will fall out of contention, politics or no politics. SEC / Big conference leaders will not allow a 2 loss ND team get in over one of their two loss teams. They will flex their muscle and get their team in, and it would be the right call.
Vandy would compete in the ACC this year.
Wait. We're dogging Ohio state because they are playing Iowa on a weekend they're not playing Oregon, Indiana, Penn state, or Michigan?
As for louisville, they aren't good enough to win the game on their schedule. But it's, fine. There are challenges on it. If they win them all, they deserve the playoffs. They're not, and they're not going to make the playoffs.

You’re counting Indiana? Lol.
OSU-Columbus has eleven bye weeks this year. I gave a half-game for Penn State and a half-game for Oregon. Michigan is a full-on bye week.
I'm counting who is ranked right now. I'm not doing a deep dive into the quality of them.
The big 10 champ gets a bye in the playoff. Osu will most likely be that team.
There are fans on this board whose biases have completely obliterated their ability to be objective.
We’ve already played number 1 and number 6 (on the road)
Look at any schedule ranking and you’ll find our schedule in the top 5. You guys play in a shit conference and UL has already played its toughest opponent. We still have Texas and Tennessee. Just let this one go
Havnt you heard? They are our Super Bowl lol
Right. Good answer after back to back top 10. You think in a complex way
Oh, I see now I didn’t realize all that. I guess you can make a case for UL schedule being harder. Right? Some people might look at those two schedules and think they look not really the same but what do they know?
Lewisville can't even hang with SMU. UL poster will be bragging about SMU as top 25 team after the Ponies beat them today.
Good luck with SMU
The Lewisville Tardinals have been eliminated from playoff consideration.
The Notre Dame loss doesn't count as a conference game so in theory, they could still qualify for the ACC Championship game which would give them an automatic spot. In theory.
We're less than a year away from Louisville fans telling us they're playoff bound again.
This ragtag bunch of rejects isn't beating Miami or Clemson.
