HokieStone Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Another week, another loss in the last minute for my Hokies. And inevitably, it seems another week closer to the end of the Justin Fuente era.

As opposed to what - Washington getting shut out or whatever happened to the big 10? Thats the dirty secret - most years there is really not more than 2 great teams. So who cares if a shitty oklahoma doesn't get crushed by Georgia? You have to have some way of letting the non p5 teams in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my issue with expansion of the CFP. While I get the argument of giving others a chance. The reality is that at most there are three teams that can realistically win. Arguing over what two or even three loss team is eighth or ninth is just a waste of breath. Whats worse is that it really cheapens the regular season. Bama losing to aTm may have ended their season even though I believe they are the second best team by a mile. But that’s what is great. Show up every week or the season is over. It’s not enough to get hot for a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like eight teams better than 12, collapse the p5 into the p4, give each champ an automatic bid, along with the top now p4 team and then leave the three remaining slots for whoever is left and most deserving regardless of conference.

Why make it a P4? I’m still of the opinion that the reconstituted BIGXII is still better than the PAC12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one without texas and oklahoma? Let me know when any of those teams actually beat Ohio state or Wisconsin. I mean yeah, the PAC has been doing not great nationally, but they're a hell of a lot more consistent then the skeletal remains of that division, and have significantly better results consistently in multiple sports. Anyway, expand playoffs sure, whatever, fine. But we haven't yet. So until we do undefeated nonpower confs which played at least a few p5 teams should make it in.

The one without Texas and Oklahoma. Look at the top of the new Big XII Cincinnati Oklahoma State BYU Houston Iowa State Baylor I'd certainly take that this year over Oregon Oregon State Washington State Arizona State Utah UCLA And yes, the PAC12 is traditionally consistent in multiple sports; but lets acknowledge that all that matters here is Football and to a much lesser extent, Men's Basketball. And FWIW; I think the new BIG XII has a legit claim as maybe the second best basketball conference. So yeah, everyone wrote off the BIG XII after Texas and Oklahoma announced their departure; but I really do think they picked themselves up well. Personally, I kinda wish they had gone for Memphis instead of UCF; but that's probably my basketball fan self talking. Getting into Florida markets was obviously a better move than west Tennessee.

I doubt seriously that they're even one of the top 10 teams in the country, but it doesn't matter. Undefeated means they should go in. That said Ohio state or Wisconsin is almost certainly going to go in, so the point is largely moot. Wisconsin? I'd say that was a typo but it's a nine letter typo! So around here it's house divided week. Michigan vs MSU, time for Michigans inevitable let down and flaws get exposed game. Flaws being they can't pass to save their lives and they give up a lot of chunk plays on defense. Can't tell you how many times I've seen wide open receivers that the opposing QB didn't see.

Ramsay B. Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Sports betting is now totally legal in my state so of course I had to throw some money on FSU today. The old fumble recovery td as time expires. Spread was 9.5… lost by 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunting Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Well that was another predictable Michigan loss. Same things showed up this week, not ready and lined up on defense, our QB missing open receivers for big gains and giving up big plays. I will say they got screwed on the strip sack fumble recovery for a td. It was originally called a td then over turned and the wasn't clear indisputable evidence to do so. If anything it confirmed it because you could see the ball come loose as soon as he was hit. Then on final play there was pass int not called. Michigan still deserved to lose but dammit. Michigan left a lot of points on the board today and lost by 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
