moronis just wants to argue with me. We've practically got the same final 4(I say "Oregon", he says "PAC12 champ" but you'd be hardpressed to find a post where he doesn't disagree with everything I've posted. He's mad because I make fun of OSU and point out that the B10 is ****.
It's not MSU's fault but they had one chance to prove they belong. And they lost. They can't get a quality win now(unless Nebraska proves to be a quality team as the season progresses).
I merely call you on your nonsense and your constant and consistent misquoting (and that is kind) of basically everyone that has posted in this thread. Your inconsistency and hypocrisy is off the charts. One loss early in the season doesn't matter, except when it does to fit your agenda. Losses don't matter, except when they do to fit your agenda. Unbeaten teams playing tough schedules don't matter because they just don't look like a good team.
Pick a position and stick with it. Don't flip flop all over the place because your position no longer fits your end game.
And the Big Ten is pretty weak this year, but if OSU or MSU ends the season with 1 loss. And there aren't 3 or more undefeated or 1 loss teams from the major conferences, I'd be surprised if OSU or MSU was not in the playoffs. That is what happens when you win a major conference. You get rewarded.
Example, please. My position has been pretty clear. I'll offer one(with a comparison).
SC got smoked by TAMU. Fine, not good but not the end of the world. They had GA, Mizzou, Auburn and Clemson on the schedule. All top 25 teams by most accounts at the time of the loss. Possibly a conference championship game against the West. Plenty of time to make amends for a loss to TAMU.
MSU lost by 19 to Oregon. Fine but they can make amends by beating Nebraska and, uh, errr, uh, surely there's another top 25 team on the schedule, right? No? ****, they can't make up for their loss.
I've been about quality wins rather than early season losses. Losses now are worse. Simply because there is less time to make up for them and we now know who most teams are. GA, Mizzou and Clemson are going to struggle to stay top 25 if they don't suddenly start playing better(Clemson is already out and Mizzou took a week off before climbing back in). MSU has no quality win opportunities left. It's just that simple
I don't think you know what happens under this new set of rules. Do you have an "inside source" that no one else does?
