They always seem to end up losing to a team they should beat badly.

Baylor's problem is with their pathetic OOC schedule, they have NO margin for error. Hell there are folks around that think they could go 12-0 and get passed up by a 12-1 SEC or Pac 12 champ. Sorry- but that's just reality. When you schedule like a *****, you lose a lot of leverage.

I said with VT 2011, that going into the last weekend they would have had a chance to make the playoff with a win......

The SEC is just as bad. If Alabama doesn't play in the CC this year they will play the same number of P5 games as Baylor thanks to their game with Wisconsin. Then their OOC includes Middle Tenn, ULM and Charleston Southern. Auburn is the same playing Louisville for their 9th P5 game and then have Jacksonville St., San Jose St., and Idaho. Give me a break on how awful the Baylor schedule is. I'm not saying it couldn't and shouldn't be better but it isn't the worst of the P5 teams.

It's all about perception - Alabama can spin its OOC game with Wisconsin against Baylor's in-conference game against Kansas. Big difference there.

The SEC has their own "Kansas" teams. Also, don't sleep on Kansas, they almost beat TCU last year.

Where it is different though is if Alabama or Auburn does play in the CCG- that is a 10th P5 game.

Just looking- the only teams that don't play a P5 game ooc in the SEC-
Missouri
Vanderbilt
Miss St
Ole Miss

Vandy and Miss St expected to be at the Cellar this year. Missouri does have BYU. Only Ole Miss- and they do have Fresno and Memphis.

But let's say the following teams win:
Alabama- would have Wisconsin, 8 SEC games, CCG
Auburn- would have Louisville, 8 SEC games, CCG
LSU- would have Syracuse, 8 SEC games, CCG
Georgia- would have Georgia tech, 8 SEC games, CCG

need I remind you-
Baylor- SMU, Lamar, Rice, and no CCG.

Sorry, but there is absolutely NO defending the Baylor OOC schedule. It is complete and total JUNK. It's not even on the same planet as SEC whoever wins the SEC.

Alabama plays 6 SEC west teams, Georgia, and Tennessee. If they finish 12-1 and SEC champs, they will be ahead of Baylor NO MATTER WHAT.

RE: So...any predictions for the four playoff teams?
your reading comprehension skills are severely limited. I said if Alabama is 12-1 and SEC champs- they will be ahead of Baylor Sorry you can't read worth a lick....

It's funny all the bozos on here trying to defend Baylor's schedule. There is no defending it....

I ******* told you I'm an Alabama fan. But once again your reading comprehension skills fail you.

and sorry, I'm not desperate. I know that Baylor's OOC schedule is one of the worst in the P5. It's so cute seeing Big 12 fanboys trying to actually defend it. And yes, I really do hope it costs them, so they will ******* learn a lesson and actually schedule tougher. Until then, I have no remorse for feeling the way I do about Baylor. None.

Baylor plays ??

That's great games for those 3. But Big 12 people want to defend Baylor's schedule- and you just can't...

Baylor plays SMU, Lamar, and Rice. That's pathetic, and anyone with a morsel of sense knows it.

I'm being sarcastic, but credit due... two big wins for them yesterday.

Already been pointed out that some ACC schools have even worse than 3 crappy games Baylor has. ACC teams have 4 crappy teams. See NCST for example. Troy, Eastern Kentucky, Old Dominion, and South Alabama.



Now what? More ranting from you?

those ACC schools not trying to make the playoff. HUGE difference there.... Don't see any other schools that are competing to make the playoffs with such pathetic schedules.

You have been all lathered up about Baylor going on 2 days now. Take a deep breath. It's going to be ok.

You can make a claim that Ohio St schedule is pretty weak, maybe overall worse than Baylor. OSU has 1 preseason ranked team on their schedule. They do play VT OOC so you have to give them credit over Baylor for trying at least. By season end they should be fairly close in SOS but OSU should have a slight edge. However, the B1G CCG should be plenty to separate them.

when you add the CCG, that makes it a big difference there. Also Ohio St does have Northern Illinois who is pretty darn good.

Yeah I just edited a sentence to include the CCG.

I named 2 in Alabama and Auburn. Until they play in the CCG their schedule is just as bad if not worse. You can't say they aren't.
