College Football 2016 Week Eleven: Who Gives a Fuck? We Elected Our Hitler.

Sucks to lose but at the end of the day it can really only be a good thing. The loss won't hurt their playoff shot and maybe it steels their resolve and makes them realize they aren't invincible. It all still comes down to the OSU game.

Michigan has Harbaugh and is 9-1. Certainly a disappointing loss but I wasn't sure I'd see a strong Michigan team after Hoke and RichRod.

Go Blue!

At the end of the day, this changes nothing for Michigan but it still hurts.
IF osu wins out I 100% believe they will make the playoffs, committee says championships matter.

Know what really matters? Money and ratings
How'd that work out last year? Face it OSU may be 2 but your playoff hopes are pretty shit right now

Wait osu might go to the playoffs without playing in the big 10 title?

What the shit

Bucknuticus help

PSU owns the tie break over OSU even if we win out. There's no way we don't get in if we beat Michigan. There's a good chance that the winner of the big 10 championship doesn't get in at all.

Biggest question is probably who is 4, Michigan or Louisville? OSU and Clemson are probably 2 and 3 respectively, and Washington is probably 6.

I don't think things would have been all that different with the BCS right now either. Even with the BCS it didn't make much sense for a team losing its first game to tank in the rankings below teams with more losses.

I believe they would put Wisconsin in if they win the championship over PSU.
 
Colorado 28 Arizona 10 at the half
UCLA 31 Oregon State 21 7ish to go in the third (Bruins need to win to keep their bowl hopes alive)
WSU 21 Cal 7 7 to go in the half

Won't matter after Michigan - Ohio State. Whoever wins stays alive.

Penn state would get a spot. Maybe old logic, but they won as 10, and 3-4 teams in front of them just lost

Ranking the previous 234 teams is gonna be hard. Washington lost the worst, but it was against a "good" team...

Bama
OSU
Clemson
Louisville
Michigan
Washington

OSU at 2 because they didn't lose this week.
Clemson at 3 because they have the H2H win over Louisville, which is also the best win of the 1 loss teams.
Louisville next because their loss is to Clemson and it came down to the wire. "Better loss" than Michigan.
Washington has the weakest resume of the relevant 1 loss teams

Poor WVU.

Ugh everything was shit that game. Not one player made a play all game, special teams were a bunch of clowns, Harbaugh was chicken and coached circles around by freaking Ferentz, Speight choked on 4 or 5 wide open long balls, receivers couldn't bring in about 4 or 5 that hit their hands in key situations to keep drives going (and our senior all Big 10 reciever gets it ripped away by a freshmen backup CB).

FUCK

I love college football!!

Glad the Huskers pulled it out with great another 4th quarter shutdown of our opponent! Tommie is looking beat up as all get out, though. He better get well this week, because we might as well be called the Nebraska Armstrongs. We live and die on his health.

I hate Iowa to death, but lived seeing that outcome tonight.

This confirms, once again that college football is Alabama >>>> Everyone else. Lol

It's a little unfair that Ohio state may get to dodge a champ game and still get in the playoffs. That's unfortunate.

Nothing makes sense. These rankings, title games, playoffs everything about CFB is fucking up in the air all the time for no reason

this picture

sums up college ball for me for the most part even taken out of context the pure fuckery of how it looks in a picture is college football to me

The difference is Michigan State had 1 loss...PSU and Wiscy both have 2...so not in any way shape or form the same situation.

Yeah, theres no way anyone could ever win something without having the most votes or pre reqs, that would be insane and 100% unfair!

You don't see what is unfortunate about the fact that if y'all beat Michigan you are likely in, but if Michigan beats y'all they still have to get through the conference championship game?

That stinks. I'm not saying Ohio state should be kept out, I'm saying they get an effective bye and that stinks.

If it happens to Louisville that stinks also.

Also, after seeing Mich. St today and the way PSU was for most of their game, there is another probable loss incoming.

Well no shit. But it is a crappy advantage to have over everybody else (except potentially Louisville).

Though I guess it is the same as having no champ game at all. So it is just an advantage that y'all have over anybody from a real conference.
