Football Will the Big X be left out of the playoff again this year? - Page 4

Eleazar · 11-15-2015, 11:01 AM

The Big X as we know has been hamstrung by not having a conference championship game and by only having 10 teams, and with Baylor's loss this weekend, the Big X now has only one undefeated team left - Oklahoma State, who is due to face two top 10 teams in the next two weeks.

Will the Big X be without an argument to put a team in the playoff again this season, when they end up with multiple 1-loss teams and no way to differentiate them?

ND could lose to Stanford.

At this point....

the only way OU gets in the playoffs is for OU to win out (which will cause them to leapfrog Iowa); and Stanford to beat ND.

It's questionable if OU would get in with 1 loss, I think. The Big X might only have the hope of OSU running the table.

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. ND

If all those teams win out, are you guys saying the Big XII gets one in? If so, who's out?

Next few weeks are going to be alot of fun. If the Big Ten season ended now, who would be in the conference champ game? Iowa vs. Ohio St?

None.

That would be an awesome Final 4.

Did you go to school there or something?

I'm not sure who would win head to head but an undefeated team is more deserving than a 1 loss team when they're both in mediocre conferences.

I don't get why people are so focused on Conference Championship games. Sure it gives you an opportunity to have another win to increase your profile but at the same time it can equally prove to be meaningless.

Take Alabama for example. The SEC East is so terrible that winning their Conf Champ game does nothing for their profile. If they lose however they would automatically be disqualified.

Oklahoma has a loss to Texas. This is true. Alabama has a loss to Ole Miss. Oklahoma still has the opportunity to beat TCU AND Oklahoma State.

If they do that they will have wins over the following ranked teams:

#23, #23, #6, #15, and #8

By comparison Notre Dame has beaten only #14 and #21 (chance to beat Stanford who will be in the 20's)

Alabama will have beaten #20, #8, #9, #2, and #17. Most of those ranked teams have been exposed as frauds BTW.

Clemson has perhaps the worst resume of all. Wins over #6 and #16. Obvouisly their bump is due to being "undefeated".

Actually check that. Ohio State has the worst of all. Having yet to beat a ranked team. That must a misprint but regardless they get to finish the season with Michigan and Michigan State. Two decent wins but still worlds away from what Oklahoma can do.

****ing hilarious that you mention that most of The ranked teams that Alabama has played have been exposed as frauds, but you don't mention the same thing about Oklahoma.

Are you serious? If everyone wins out, Oklahoma State is in over Notre Dame. There won't even be a debate.

I think ND is better than OkSt, but you are probably right.

OkSt will have beaten all of the Big 12 "heavyweights" (whatever that means).

ND has one loss, and so an undefeated Big X team would get in over them. The problem for the Big X is that if they don't have an undefeated team, they probably don't have a case.

Yes, I am serious. I personally think Oklahoma State should be in over ND. But I still think it's a legitimate question.
