The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
UCLA streamrolled LSU.
Oregon beat Ohio State in Ohio.
CFP can't respect the fact that the PAC 12, MWC, and BYU were truly good this year and beat each other. A total miss on marketing the MWC title game by not having the Aggies in the top 25. Utah, San Diego State, BYU, Oregon, us, and Fresno State all deserved to be ranked better.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
I would agree with you more about us if we didn't get steamrolled by Wyoming and completely shut down by a pedestrian Boise team. Not sure about the other teams on your list, but I don't think the Ags got the shaft in not being ranked at this point.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
Look at the list of the top 25, it gets laughable at best. Miss State (they were ranked last week) lost to freaking Memphis, so #25 Texas A&M lost to LSU and Miss State is #25. ULL is #24. Houston has played the weakest schedule in all of college football is #21. #18 NC State did what to become #18.

If we played Cincy's schedule, we could have been undefeated right now. Keep in mind, the top teams that they faced had their starting QB go down with injuries when they faced them.

ND had their QB go down, and ND is not that good. ND had a very weak schedule too.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
They changed their QB, and it changed Utah from being really bad to actually a good team. They would have been a 1-win team with that QB who transfer out.

Cincy would also be unbeaten with out schedule. We would not be with theirs, but I would love the opportunity

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
Those 2-win teams and Murray State are tough. Always facing the back-up QB of the top opposing teams are impossible to beat. Top AAC schools are always inflated because they are always preseason ranked way too high then face the teams like Indiana, Texas Tech, TCU then some weak MAC/Sun Belt/C-USA/UConn schools and for safe measure a low-grade FCS team, and it is sad that the AAC plays the system perfect while the MWC top teams faces Oregon, UCLA, Oklahoma State, Utah, BYU, Washington State, Kansas State, and etc. The weakest AAC teams face the highest ranked teams to keep them looking good.GeoAg wrote: ↑December 1st, 2021, 11:28 amI love your enthusiasm, but you are way out over your skis here.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
I have been arguing for this type of scheduling approach for over two decades on USU message boards. USU should not be going off and playing the LSUs, Wisconsins, Alabamas, and USCs of the world. If we go up against P5 schools, it should be the likes of Washington State (see what happened this year...), Oregon State, Kansas, and Indiana, the schools that are typically towards the bottom of the P5 conferences. The other OOC games need to be against MAC and CUSA type of schools. If you go back and look at BYU's OOC schedules from the early 1970s until 1980, when they were building their national reputation, outside of the WAC, they had very few high profile blue blood opponents. They were always lower level programs from what would now be called power conferences, or PCAA or MAC type teams. Look at their 1980 OOC schedule, a season in which they went 12-1, their highest profile opponent was a 2-9 Wisconsin team. The rest of their OOC schedule that year was Long Beach State, Utah State, North Texas, and UNLV. Boise did the same thing when moved up to 1-A/FBS in 1996. For the first five years they play 2 and sometimes even 3 1-AA/FCS opponents in a year. By their seventh year in 1-A/FBS, they went 12-1 with a non-WAC schedule against Idaho, Arkansas (their lone loss), Wyoming, and Utah State.SLB wrote: ↑December 1st, 2021, 11:37 amThose 2-win teams and Murray State are tough.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
The AAC does this which is why they are beating the MWC in the rankings. Imagine if we played Indiana instead of BYU, we would be in the top 25 with a shot at the Fiesta Bowl.swordsman1989 wrote: ↑December 1st, 2021, 12:41 pmI have been arguing for this type of scheduling approach for over two decades on USU message boards.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
Exactly! If we played MAC or similar schools instead of two money games each season between 1983 and 1992, and split those games each year, USU would have had five winning seasons during that period, instead of 10 straight losing seasons. The 1993 Las Vegas Bowl year would have been the fourth straight winning season, instead of the first in more than a decade.SLB wrote: ↑December 1st, 2021, 12:51 pmThe AAC does this which is why they are beating the MWC in the rankings.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
The need for money at Utah State historically trumps the need for wins as has been demonstrated over the decades. My solution, would be to seriously work the I 15 corridor, especially the AGGIE base northward from Salt Lake County to the Idaho border. Seems our athletic department lacks the vision, patience and insight to do just that.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
Good that you are now involved my AGGIE friend, and welcome to the supporting boosters group. I had to contact the school by sending a check to the Athletic Department to generate any visibility to that department. One in a row is a small sample size though. Overall Historical context would be much more enlightening. The Wasatch Front effort needs serious focused and measured development with a real time institutional commitment for any chance at success to develop Wasatch Front profile generation for Utah State University.

Re: The PAC 12 and MWC got screwed by CFP
THe CFP playoff also values conference and program consistency. Pac 12 would be better respected if they were taking it to other conferences year after year but they've largely sucked for the past 5 years. Win against non-conf this year... win 80% of bowl games and do it again next year and people will start to believe. Same for Cincy, they've been decent for 2-3 years in a row.
