so i am watching gameday and Corso and Hirbstreit both think Ohio State s/b the 4th team to qualify for the playoff system...and i have to throw a challenge flag....you all know i hate the Big 10 , but this isnt personal...this is strictly the facts........we have to throw out the conf records and games because if the whole conference is average....which it is....then conf wins dont count towards making the playoff.....so lets just look at the TOP teams in the Big 10 and how they did Non conference wise...
Whisky did not beat any ranked teams and LOST to unranked LSU.
Minnesota (who i love) did not beat any ranked teams and was crushed by TCU 30-7
Nebraska did not beat any ranked team, best win was over an unranked 6-5 Miami
Maryland did not beat any ranked teams and lost to West Virginia.
Michigan State did not beat any ranked teams and lost to Oregon.
and Ohio State beat Navy, Kent State and Cincy and LOST at home to Virginia Tech.
I know the Networks love the Big Conferences and the Big TV ratings they bring, but if the Big 10 has a team in this years playoff, then they should just scrap the whole thing......
I do not think Fla State survives the next 2 weeks......everyone thinks the Gators will be their toughest test, and maybe they will.....but if you saw the way an average Boston College team ran all over the Noles.....you have to think the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech are salivating over the ACC title game.

I think the WHOLE system is broke concerning bowls. First of all, there's too many of them. All I've heard this week is, if this team gets their 6th win, they become bowl-eligible. Yeah, a 6-6 or even 6-7 team makes a bowl. Woop-do-freakin'-do! When teams had only an 11 game season maybe that made sense, because they then had to be over .500. But, now teams are playing 12 or 13 games further diluting bowl worthiness. THIS GALLS ME! Who gives a shit about the "Woop-do-freakin'-do" bowl in Podunkt, Iowa???
