:lol:

butthurt much? You're trying to argue something for the sake of arguing and that's not going to happen today. There is 3 full fucking months of football left to be played and you're worried about what happened in a game in Denver against two teams, one of which isn't going to win more than 1 or 2 games. Get over yourself.

Nice stealth edit.
Another strawman.
Who said i was worried?
All i did was make a joke about fox' repeated claims for the pac being the best during a game their team got embarrased.

So the university of Pac-12 was playing last night? Wut?

You're the one worried about it. You showed concern (and butthurt) about what someone would be saying vis a vis Ohio State if this was Illinois losing to a "mid-major". But by all means keep trying, and failing, to move the goalposts of your argument to me.

As if we need a reminder:

So in addition to trolling and making up stuff I never said, you're now taking comments out of context.
You made a statement implying not every team in a Conference matters towards the strength of that Conference, I made a point to show how that doesn't hold true using Illinois.

Keep spinning. My goal posts haven't moved an inch. But you sure have needed a lot of distractions, projections, and intellectual dishonesty thus far.
What cat picture will you post next to save face?

You're the one that feels the need to continue the conversation.

Yeah...the reading comprehension problem definitely isn't on my end. Oh and have fun watching the University of Pac12 playing all year :lol:

Quote where I said an undefeated Ohio State would get passed over.
Quote where I ever made mention of a "University of Pac12".

Then again, we've already established it wasn't a failure to read on your part -- you're just trolling.

That's a nice pithy way of putting it.
But when it comes down to "Ohio State has to go undefeated" while Stanford can forget to play Stanford Football™ for a game or two and get a free pass... that won't sit well with a lot of those people you just spoke for.

How many teams have gone undefeated since 2008. Going undefeated is a rare feat even in this day and age of overhyped conferences and breathless soundbytes.

This is Ohio State we're talking about here. If it was Illinois or Minnesota you would have a point. Sparty as well probably. scUM, the Pedsters, Ohio State and the Children of the Corn, any one of which goes undefeated, will be in the playoff.

Either you didn't understand what you were replying to, or you deliberately changed the goal posts to make a strawman.
Pick your poison.

I may very well be deliberately obtuse.
But I do so enjoy taking people to the woodshed for faulty logic.

Actually it's funny to me because you made my point for me: "How many teams have gone undefeated since 2008"
Indeed, and yet going by last year that's what is expected of Ohio State.
A 1-loss Ohio State is on the outside looking in. But a Stanford can drop a game to a bad opponent -- one on the same level as CU -- and get a free pass. Did it escape you how people have been making fun of Stanford Football(TM) for the past year?

So yes, the full conference does matter when discussing conference strength.
And yes, I will continue to make fun of PAC ideologues when they try to mimic the SEC SEC SEC homers.
