Herbie sez he changed his mind because PSU showed resiliency by fighting back from the 28-7 deficit. The implication is that he's punishing UW for being too good and competent to fall behind by three TDS to their 8th-ranked CCG opponent. Fucker just likes to be entertained.
I get the weak OOC argument. But UW did exactly what you're supposed to do to weak OOC opponents, wipe the field with them. If any of those three games were still competitive after a quarter of play, then I could see holding it against them. But they weren't, so I won't.
At this poont I'd put UW third over Clemson on the basis of their respective CCG performances.
