Two top ten wins would have been better. SEC is just not that strong this year. Two-loss, non-conference champ Wisky will not be in the playoff.

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Here's the reality of it. Right now, everyone is drinking the bama Koolaid and looking at our defense looking less than dominant in the past 2 weeks. None of them think we can beat bama (all of the talking heads said that much last night), so they aren't giving us any love. Beating Georgia might nudge us up a bit, but the reality is, until we beat bama, we're not going to get any significant movement in the polls.

They lost to Michigan and Ohio State. I don't see any way that they become Big 10 champs. Can you please explain how you see this happening?

Not ertrader, but both Michigan and Ohio State are in the B1G East while Wisconsin is in the West. Wisconsin is leading the West beating everybody in the West so far. If they win out they will be in the B1G Championship game in Indy, playing either OSU or UM. If they win that, Wisconsin is the B1G champs.

AUTUmike 79 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 19 hours ago, ellitor said: with all due respect no. Yes the committee was inconsistent yesterday but I never want to see a computer be a part of the playoff process over again. I would rather it be decided by humans even if I disagree with their opinion. Two-thirds of the BCS formula was based on humans. The other third ensured that actual metrics like strength of schedule were taken into account; which the committee has demonstrated to misunderstand or only use selectively. Above all, there needs to be some degree of predictability in their rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only CFP poll that matters is after the conference Championship games which is why there shouldn't be a poll every week right now in the first place. They should have done it like NCAA basketball and just have a selection Sunday or Monday or whatever. Also those metrics that counted for a third you are talking about also included the stupid metric of margin of victory. Computers should not count for any percentage on picking teams for a playoff. They should only be used as data for humans to analyze when making their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisky still has to play Minnesota who is also 4-2 in conference, also tied with Nebraska at 4-2, but Wisky has already beaten Nebraska, so if Wisky beats Minnesota, and Illinois and Purdue, winning out. Wisky would win the west division and play in the Big Ten championship game. They COULD end up being another 2 loss conference champ, IF they are able to beat UM or OSU in the CG, but they have already lost to both UM and OSU. It would be tough for them, but doable. They lost both of those games by a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this would entertain us for weeks while Urban or Harbaugh go after the committee in the media from the north and Saban from the south (if Auburn won the SEC Championship). Then Finebaum on the SEC network would put his spin on it. It would be more then I could hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
