Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

ESPN has a new Playoff Top 4 following Clemson’s loss to Syracuse

One of those impacts is over at ESPN’s FiveThirtyEight, which has already calculated new odds for teams to make the College Football Playoff. Suffice to say, Clemson is OUT while Alabama, Georgia, Washington and Wisconsin are all in.

    The funny thing is that the only thing mentioned is how this WSU loss affects UW poorly because it takes away from the hype that the apple up would have had. They don't mention that this CAL team that put Leach and Falk in body bags in destroying a top 8 team. Chalk this WSU loss to UW for embarrassing Cal on national tv and oh btw held them to -40 rushing yards.... no one even mentions that... idc what team you play to hold them to -40 yards rushing and an average of -1.5 yards per rush is UNREAL but then again CAL is a Cupcake so that must mean WSU is a Cupcake with no frosting. Honestly UW shouldn't even play the rest of the year because we all know we don't have a shot, in fact idk why we get free pub because we are 0-6 so that fact that ESPN even mentions an 0-6 team to make the playoffs just proves they are a bunch of ratards. 0-13! WOOF!

    Fuck I hate the fucking playoff.

    The worst part is not the tournament, it's the fucking voting.

    WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO VOTE ON FOUR TEAMS AFTER THE REGULAR SEASON?? It would be WAY easier to vote on 2 teams after the bowls.

    But everyone fucking knows having a 6 team tourney with the conference winners and one at large would be an improvement. Have fucking 8 teams with conference winners and 3 fucking vote-in at large teams... but this shit where games don't fucking matter and it's all power ranking votes is fucking retarded.

    It makes no sense primarily because it's still a poll system. It's the worst of all worlds... we still have polls essentially deciding and we fucked the bowls, January 1 and the fact that EVERY GAME matters.

    I mean, if we lose to USC in the fucking championship game, we will hear that that shit is more diagnostic than Clemson losing to Syracuse or Michigan losing to MSU, USC losing to WSU or what the fuck ever. What kind of fucking sense does that make?!?

    Either have it be a playoff (i.e., win your conference and you're in) or just do the bowls and vote for a plus one.

    This current system is a fucking abomination.

    Dennis, who give a fuck. We win out we got to the fucking rose bowl you been dying to go to for the past decade

    Good take, but if we lose the conference title game to USC in your scenario we are most likely fucked anyways.

    Has there ever been another team this hated by ESPN or the media in general? I'm not sure I've ever seen a team attacked, glossed over and put down the way uw is right now. It seems so obvious as well.

    I'm sure we'll be able to top that later.

    However, this current beef is quite something. I can't recall any examples of multiple ESPN content providers collectively attacking a specific school like this.

    I know their embrace debate bullshit and self generated controversy for the sake of content is meant to make money, but I'm not aware of ESPN acting this way in the middle of the season before.
