The problem with the bowl games is 2-fold. Based on money and on fans voices.
Lets look at OSU and Iowa here. OSU played a horrible game in horrible weather, they looked like absolute garbage that game right? They lost by 3 points to MSU. Iowa then played their hearts out in perfect weather and lost by... 3 points. Yet Iowa deserves to be in the Rose Bowl because they did their absolute best and did what another team did at their absolute worst?
The idea that OSU doesn't deserve to be in the championship hunt because they lost 1 game is also a fallacy as Alabama, MSU, Oklahoma also all had 1 loss. Let's also be realistic here, everyone can keep ignoring it, but Oklahoma definitely dodged some bullets playing against both TCU and Baylor without their qbs. You can also say, but OSU didn't win they're conference championship... the Big 12 doesn't even have one... does that mean they should be left out every single year because they don't have a championship, because the sure as hell isn't making up for the lack of a championship game with good OOC schedules. They by far have the weakest schedules of any power 5 conference, in fact they probably have the worst OOC scheduling of any conference in the FBS. Let's now move on to Stanford. Obviously, as seen today, it's pretty easy to fathom Stanford deserved to be in the championship hunt. I understand they lost 2 games, but real talk here, they lost game 1 early and then lost to an Oregon team who got btter as the year went on. They also had a conference championship, something the Big 12 did not have. And then we have the dark horse in Houston. But guys... they didn't win they're games. I'm pretty sure if Hpuston went undefeated, there was no way they were in the top 4. I think they showed well enough they deserve to be in the hunt. I think everything I outlined, will only continue as the years go on. There's absolutely no way we dont eventually go to a 8 game championship. 16 is probably too much in my opinion. But until we have 8 teams we'll always leave out a conference champion, there will never be a group of 5 team in the championships (and whats the point of them being in the FBS if they have no chance?), and we'll constantly end up with questionable teams making it over deerving teams (MSU vs OSU). |

Man, that must mean Florida is better than Alabama because they won by more right? right......

You all sound like women OSU only lost 1 game. It's a bit rediculous to say 3 teams can lose 1 game and get in and then say they should have won the games they lost about an OSU getting in. You sound like a plebeian.

Got distracted by wife.
Big bet on OSU -6 1/2 OSU the 2nd best team in the nation playing against a possible 8 seed? Notre Dame has no chance today.

I've attempted to mitigate due to information coming in, and have taken Oklahoma at -4.5 at the same amount as clemson.

Im running a Round Robin of 2s and 3s of parlays on: Northwestern +255 OSU -6 1/2 Iowa +200 Georgia -6 Oregon +1 Michigan -4 I'm about 33% confidant on the ML for MSU. The (s) denotes a small bet. I feel like MSU is the 2nd best team in the B1G behind OSU. The question then is, is that good enough to beat the #1 team in the SEC. Alabama has looked pretty poor at numerous points in the year. The SEC has looked pretty poor times during the entire season losing to the most group of 5 teams and the most fcs teams of any conference leaving questions to be asked. A minus to this is we haven't seen a SEC team even play during the bowl season yet. Compare that To the B1G conference who is the only conference with 3 teams with 1 loss. and the only conference with 4 teams with 2 or less losses. The B1G also has some of the strongest OOC wins in the nation with wins against Stanford and Oregon(the high ranking OOC games were pretty piss poor this year). As well currently the B1G has won 2 of 3 bowl games with 1 team losing in controversial fashion. These 3 teams were among the worst in the conference. With records going in to their bowl games at 5-7, 5-7, and 6-6. This all leads to me to believe that a small bet on a ML of +400 is a safe bet. The question I ask myself when I see these crazy lines are "will MSU beat Alabama 1 in 4 times?. I think the answer is yes.

Iowa, Ohio State, Stanford are the obvious 3.
Depending on how they set the rules (i.e. top group of 5) Notre Dame out for just losing emberassingly. Houston possible as highest group of 5 and 1 loss. Florida State is possible at 2 losses after destroying florida. North Carolina possible for playing clemson tough. Northwestern for having both losses to the #5 and #14 teams and having real OOC wins against Stanford and Duke. My guess is they don't wouldnt want 4 teams from the same conference so the nod would go to FSU or Houston dependent upon rules. Though the ost deserving in my eyes would be Houston or Northwestern. |

I feel like Nebraska is playing exactly how they have all season. Their record is deceiving in that they lost by
byu 5 Miami (fl) 3 ILL 1 wis 2 northwestern 2 Iowa 8 Purdue 10 And lets be realistic, they do play in the best conference in the nation. Bonus points for playing against hard teams.

Michigan State is a much more balanced team then any of the SEC teams Alabama played and destroyed. It's easy to run down a defense like Floridas when their offense can't stay on the field for longer then 2 minutes. Just makes the defense tired in the long run.
It's easy to take the point with MSU.
