Put UCF in the Playoff
- Thread starter OHPAHusker
- Start date
Games aren't won by yards. Yes it's a positive for Nebraska, but we still lost by 14 to a 6-6 team and that game wasn't real close after the 1st quarter.
If we have fewer penalties the game is closer? Well yeah. If we had more penalties the game wouldn't be as close. Both are equally silly statements.
I guess Georgia was really better than Alabama. More yards and more penalties. Ohio St had more yards than Purdue and 10 penalties. Guess Ohio St's 29 point loss wasnt really that bad.
The one that went 12-0 or the one that went 12-0?
The point is, a game that is within 14 points is not getting your ***-kicked, and especially when you outgain the other team. But why are people like you insistent on making a big deal about that game? It was the 4th game of the season for heaven's sake. Is that supposed to be the defining game of our season? I mean, can't we look at the second half of the season when this team improved? Goodness-what is it with some of you people that you just absolutely cannot acknowledge anything good about this team. You constantly focus on the bad. Yes, lets not look at the second half of the season-let's continue focusing on the first half when things weren't going as well. Because heaven forbid we'd say something good about our team.
Ohio State lost to a ****** Purdue team and almost lost to a Maryland team that Temple steamrolled (an AAC team) and yet the same ignorant people claim our schedule sucks and 12-0 doesn’t matter.
Am I nuts or did we beat a team that just played for the ACC title 45-14? Oh yea we did.
700 yards of offense with a freshman backup QB. Boom.

I'm not making a big deal out of the Purdue game. I believe you are.
I already said a 14 point loss isn't an *** kicking. But it's not like it's close either.
Yes there's a lot to be excited for as a Nebraska fan, but that's not the topic of this thread right and I don't think anyone is really dogging on Nebraska either.

UCF's Strength of Schedule does suck compared to others in the Top 10
https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other
Closest to UCF in terms of SOS is Notre Dame at 26 and that's still 45 spots better. Hanging your hat on a Pittsburg victory??
No-you're just the one who couldn't just let my previous comments stand-you had to make gratuitous slaps at our team about that game. So if you weren't trying to make a big deal about that game-why did you insist on arguing with me about it?
Agree, I can see an argument for them getting in. Yes, with the schedule they have had there would be at least a few undefeated p5 teams this year. Would almost bet half of the top 25 could have went undefeated. So for some to just use the fact they are undefeated as justification to get isn't right.
Haha a little sensitive are we? This is a message board, rarely are comments just "left to stand".
What slap am I making? I said it wasn't an *** kicking by Purdue.
I couldn't care less about UCF one way or the other. BUT I would like to see the playoff expanded to 8 teams.
I've been saying this for years. If you can't make it into the top 8, we'll then tough noogies.
And no, I have no interest in seeing it continue to expand from there. 8 is great.
So what you're saying is the Invitational should just go to the teams with the hardest SOS, regardless of record:
Georgia, Bama, LSU, and Texas A&M
Sounds like a great plan!
Maybe every team in the Big Ten should just be eliminated before the first game because obviously you're not playing an SEC schedule either, and since you don't it's hard to say that any team could really be that good. I mean, does Ohio State only have one loss playing in the SEC. My gut tells me "No" so they should be eliminated right off the bat. Same with Oklahoma. I don't have any proof because it is completely hypothetical "but I just know" this is a fact.
You're 1994 and 1995 titles should be stripped as well. Me and my buddies sat in a room and we decided that since you didn't play in the SEC, it's just not good enough. No way could those teams have ever gone undefeated in the SEC, or even win a couple of important games. None.
I can prove it. You beat one SEC team in those two years...Florida. But that is only one win. You didn't beat Bama or Tennessee or Auburn or LSU so your results are OK, but since you didn't play in the SEC you should have only been like the 4th or 5th highest rated team.
Now that you've read this, you know how ridiculously dumb that argument is. You guys won the games on your schedule back then, you won them all, and that's all that matters. If some team "sucks" because they are undefeated then it should just be an easy win for one of the teams viewed as "great", even if they have a loss.
Nobody is saying it is tougher to play in the AAC than in the SEC, or tougher to play in the PAC-10 than the Big 10, etc....but nonetheless, it is really, really difficult to go undefeated at any level, in any league. But if you look at the imbalance in athetic budgets and recruiting, completely changing our entire staff, as well as offensive and defensive schemes in the middle of our current streak, and losing a top 5 player in college football, and still finding a way to win a conference championship game, it's a monumental achievement.
If doing what we've done really doesn't even get you a whiff at The Invitational, then quit ranking teams in G5 conferences and quit the charade.
In fact, all but about 15 of the P5 schools should be eliminated as well. Me and my friends sat in a room and decided you are just not worthy. Only the following 15 teams could potentially play in an Invitational:
UF
Bama
LSU
Auburn
Georgia
Ohio State
Penn State
Oklahoma
Texas
Clemson
FSU
Miami
Michigan
Michigan State
Notre Dame
There is a caveat. If you win 25 games in a row we will promote you into this group of eligible teams, and eliminate who we think is the "worst of the bunch". Sounds fair and equitable to us.
Sorry, my group of friends sitting in a room decided Nebraska is no longer capable of winning 2 or 3 tough games, no matter what you actually do on the field. We'll just make up some new stat to justify our argument, or better yet we'll just say you don't pass the eye test.

I don't think you understand how this works. If it's a 2-team decision in the BCS, Boise State or TCU can be ranked up to #3. If it's a 4-team decision in the CFP, UCF can be ranked up to #5. Once we expand to 8 teams, #9 is the ceiling and more metrics will be discovered as to why there are 8 teams better than a given G5 school.

Jeff: I wait 14 turns.
That's not even close to what I'm saying. Sorry you failed to comprehend my point.
You don't have to play a SEC schedule to make a 4 team playoff. Just not a terrible schedule like UCF's.
