Hangovers are probably as good of an explanation as any, but Pitt played their asses off.

You could definitely tell Pitt was motivated.

mediocre season, undefeated team coming in


lots of motivation, this was Pitt's bowl game.


Did one of the Pitt player run over to the Miami bench and ask for the turnover chain after the strip sack?


cfb, always some topsy turvy stuff in a season.


I'm left to wonder if Miami was isaac's lock pick of the week?

I want to see Auburn beat Alabama, Miami beat Clempson, Michigan to beat tOSU and tOSU to beat Wisconsin. That will stir the pot in this voting, eye test, recruiting stars, MNC extravaganza. wink


The best way to pick four teams is to take the best four conference champions. If you are going to use a committee of "voters" then use "must be a conference champion" as the first criteria. Who would complain about the results on the field?

Hurricanes were highly over ranked as usual. They played a bunch of mediocre teams.

The Auburn / Bamna Iron Bowl could go either way. Should be one hell of a great game! Roll Tide! grin

I hope Baker Mayfield gets his ass handed to him by WV.

UT Longhorns vs T-tech are getting ready to KO on FOX. Neither team has been worth a damn this year but it ought to be a great game. Since the Longhorns no longer play my Aggies, they love to hate Texas Tech. wink

Tech needs a win to become bowl eligible. I would imagine Kingsbury needs a win to keep his job.

While I greatly appreciate any game that upsets the "natural order of things", all games like this do is make it that much easier for the committee to anoint the teams that they wanted back before the season ever started.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

The committee wants the blue bloods. Alabama, Oklahoma, Clempson, Ohio St.

Yep. I like Kingsbury! Wished TAMU would have promoted him to head Coach instead of hiring Summlin. He was the QB coach at TAMU before T-tech hired him as their head coach.

I can, because conference championships are only based on conference games. This makes them a poor indicator of overall quality because they ignore a lot of "results on the field".

First, it eliminates the second best team in the country just because they happen to be in the same conference as the best team in the country.

Second, pretending that non-conference games never happened skews the results. Let's take an example, Team A and Team B. Both are in the same major conference. Team A schedules its three non-conference games against Alabama, Clemson and Oklahoma and wins them all. Team B schedules its three games against Happy Valley Community College, South Eastern Rhode Island State and Vassar and loses all three. Team B loses one conference game and Team A loses to Team B by a point.

This makes Team A 11-1 with wins against Alabama, Clemson and USC and Team B 8-4 with losses to three cupcakes. But since non-conference games don't exist as far as conference championships are concerned Team B is the conference champion and under your scheme would go to the playoff over Team A.

Madness.

Conferences and division winners work fairly well in baseball, pro football and basketball because there is a relatively small number of teams, the skill levels are far closer than in college football and most of the teams play each other. As currently implemented in college football they are a poor indicator of quality, which is why the playoff system only uses them as a tie breaker.
