Notre Dame lost on the road by 2 to the #1 team in the Playoff Rankings ...KnocksvilleE said:
The whole argument for ND over OU relies exclusively on the transitive property. And it's one damn data point. When you open that door, absurdity enters.MisterEm said:

As for the saxeT v TCU game, that game was an outlier at the time. The weeks before that game included near wins against both OKState, a team that beat TCU pretty badly, and Cal. Their next game after the OU win, they also beat KState pretty bad, another team that damn near beat TCU. Texas was no slouch at the time, and would be bowl eligible by now if their schedule was easier.
Oklahoma lost to a team that will be lucky to be in a bowl game ...

Ohio State lost to a team that barely made bowl eligibility last year. TCU that year lost to a 1 loss team and Baylor lost to a 7-5 team. I don't always agree with the playoff but I like their tendency not to focus on one damn game and ignore the rest.Tequilla said:

Watch the 1990 cotton bowel.Tequilla said:Two points:That was as low of a moment as I can ever remember Texas having.
Texas so thought they were back and ran into a pissed off 2 loss Miam team that handed them 220 yds in personal foul penalties and still only yielded a field goal while laying 46 on da horns. No 70-3 ass kicking was ever more dominating than my canes that day. None.
Face it: those canes were just better at life.

Overall, all these arguments for and against ND and OU aren't that good. They need to expand the playoffs to 6-8 teams so we don't have to rely so much on subjective opinions and cherry picked facts to decide who gets into the playoff. If you win a power 5 conference, you are in (not sure how to handle ND though) Yeah there will still be some bullshit to decide who gets in outside of conference champions. But it's a hell of a lot better than the bullshit we have now.
