Then Ohio State should be ahead of Oregon. Winning at Michigan State is better. Bama and TCU have better conference wins. The pac 12 sucks. Winning at LSU is better than winning at Utah. Bama lost on the road to a top 5 team at the time. Oregon lost at home to a shitty team.
Bama plays Mississippi state and Auburn while Oregon plays Colorado and the Beavs
They jump Oregon rather easily
And Virginia Tech is a powerhouse
If they take injuries into account for Oregon losing an OL, then they should take into account Ohio State losing a Heisman front-runner QB.
Imagine if Oregon played only 2 games with Mariota this year. That's what Ohio State is going through this season.
The difference is, Oregon got their injured player back and improved because of it. Ohio St. lost their guy during the off season, and he won't be back until next season. Lets also not forget he had about a month of practice before the season started and he also had three prior non-conference games. It's not like he was thrown to the wolves.
Taking account injuries is used to justify a loss that otherwise wouldn't happen now that the team is at full strength. Ohio State has the same QB that lost to Virginia Tech. You can't use that argument for Ohio St. when the same quarterback would be playing in the playoffs. Sorry but not the same thing.
Way to Quook on.
But you're wrong on 2 counts.
So by your rationale, Oregon losing an O lineman was somehow more of a factor than tOSU losing their Heisman QB candidate. Whew!!!
You're also assuming that with your Olineman back, it's an automatic victory against a team that has torched your asses 2 years in a row.
There is no evidence of that since they plungered you last year at their house and beat you soundly despite the score, in your house this year.
The fact that Oregon is ranked #2 above at least 3 teams that would plunger them on a neutral field shows that this new playoff selection process will be a shit show in the end.
