Week 14 What Have We Learned

The MWC championship game isn't set yet. Lol.

Just have a 4 way playoff tournament coin flip at a Buccees at midnight, like they do for Texas HS football.
 
So if Duke wins the ACC with 5 losses, does the ACC get shutout of the playoff? Could we see the winner of North Texas/Tulane and JMU both get in?
 
UNLV at Boise St for MWC championship.

UNLV was 0-2 vs the other 3 (didn't play SDSU)
UNM was 2-1 (beat SDSU and UNLV on the road, lost at Boise)
Boise was 2-1 (beat UNLV, UNM, lost at SDSU)
SDSU was 1-1 (beat Boise, lost at UNM didn't play UNLV)

Unlv was the only one of the group with 2 losses and gets in

Look I'm not saying UNM should or shouldn't have gotten in, but UNLV should've been at the end of the line.

I think so. Maybe technically the committee could put Miami in as an at-large, but that would take some ranking manipulation starting Tuesday night
 
I am far from a homer and Mario deserves tons of criticism for losing two games in the ACC but the win over Notre Dame has to be the difference between the two or why even play the games.
 
I've stopped following, but reading about these championship game tie-breakers, did the MWC also do away with divisions? Like the MAC? Ready about those (at the time) complicated championship game scenarios. Who else no longer has divisions?

I've learned, well been confirmed, all these damn conferences are a) too damn big and b) eliminating divisions doesn't make them any less complex and c) conference championship games still suck and should be unnecessary in a properly sized conference where everyone plays their other league opponents. I've learned, or call it continuing affirmation, I don't miss the media controlled FBS football sub-division at all.

100% but then it means all these people that are put in positions to decide and tell us who the rightful and who are the best teams are unnecessary and well, we just can't let results of games be deciding factors, there must people proving how smart they are explaining why some results of games matter and others don't.
 
What this committee has told schools this season with their actions is anathema to the sport and a really good reason to get rid of the committee permanently and use computers again
I believe the system that college football has currently with national signing day coming up, and coaches bailing, we’ll see a collapse.
There is no sport in the world that has such a dysfunctional system in place than college football. They’re entering dangerous territory with the likes of Kiffin doing what he’s being allowed to do.

Yes. No more MW divisions.

We need the BCS, but we know that television ratings and money matter more than integrity
