Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

They've never explicitly said you absolutely have to win your conference championship to get in the Playoff, although it is implied. I don't think a non-conference champion should get in, but they haven't said they can't either. I'm hoping for chaos. Everyone loses at least once, with a 2-loss conference champion with a legitimate argument thrown in there for funsies.

Why would the committee handcuff themselves by indicating what their criteria are? If they do that, they might have to actually stick to a formula instead of just picking who they want, then retrofitting the criteria to match their selections. Who wants to take the subjectivity out of something like this?

It's another example of why moving to 8 teams makes so much sense.

Who wants to take the subjectivity out of something like this? I get what you're saying and feel like you're being sarcastic, but having a set criteria makes it easier for the teams involved because they know exactly what they have to do to get in. We already see this problem in the NCAA tournament in basketball for at-large bids. Why not let them know "hey this is what you have to do to get in" and worry about the other stuff later. If all five power conference teams were to go unbeaten then you got to the next step of the criteria, whatever it is.

Before he started the Bobcat Club and the Green and White Club was the booster club, he always supported our efforts and kept us in the loop.

In a tough spot while at Ohio because of cuts that were needed. He was also VERY young when he was here.

On a campus visit, at my request, he spent time with one of my nephews who now is an Ohio alum. Kirby also asked me to take on a special project which I did. He was grateful. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top OUbobcat9092 General User Member Since: 12/28/2004 Location: Fairfax, VA Post Count: 1,128 Status: Offline     RE: Kirby Hocutt    Posted: 11/2/2016 10:26:28 PM  F**K Kirby!
