Baffling hire to begin with but that is why Purdue is Purdon't.  

Agree and Walters has a defensive background as opposed to an offensive background.

Ryan Walters (former Buffs DB) has been let go as Purdue's head coach after going winless in conference play.

I'm amazed that Mike Gundy hasn't been fired from Oklahoma State.  He had at least 20 returning starters only to go 3-9 this season including an 0-9 record in Big 12 play.  His players quit on him during their game at CU which CU won 52-0 but could have easily been 70-0.

I want to nominate Oklahoma State for turd of the week.  Their players flat out quit and lost 52-0 at CU.  That score should have been worse since the Buffs didn't have a good second quarter otherwise the Buffs could have scored at least 70 on the Cowboys from Stillwater.

The only way two G6 get in is if one of the P4 has a super down year.  The MWC won't get two teams in.  It is possible that the G6 get 2 teams in if both the MWC and American champions are ranked higher than the Big XII champ.   This year it is possible.

You might want to check the updated rankings.  Both Big 12 CCG participants, Clemson (ACC), & UNLV are ranked higher than Army so it's going to be just the MWC champ that goes to the CFP in that case.

It looked like two G6 teams were headed to the CFP until Tulane lost to Memphis which pretty much eliminated the AAC from the CFP.  I like this new college football playoff format.

Joining the PAC that is centered in California where sports fandom is built on frontrunning was a huge mistake for CU. 

There are over 100,000 living alumni on the west coast for CU.  That is where the money came from for the $200M football facility that included offices & indoor practice facility.

That is where their alumni base is outside of CO

Truth.

Mike MacIntyre is out at FIU.  Guess he couldn't turn FIU around like CU & SJSU.

Nah, why would we want to settle things on the field.  That's just nonsense 

ESPN & Fox pay good money for those types of competition.

All of these tie breakers are further proof that conferences need to be smaller.  

Nah…there were actually nine B12 teams that weren’t eliminated from the B12 CCG before OSU-CU kicked off.  It would have been one hell of a tiebreaker had CU, ISU, BYU, and ASU lost this weekend.

Expecting some questionable calls to go against BYU, as I think higher ratings if CU makes ccg.

Wouldn't surprise me.  BYU is already out of the B12 CCG game anyway.

Iowa State wins.  BYU is eliminated from the B12 CCG.

BYU wins and ISU is in.

Houston wins and CU is in.

To see if CU gets into the B12 CCG.

Houston up 7-0.  A win by UH sends CU to the Big 12 CCG.  Disney would love to have Coach Prime at Jerry World.

Is 10 sacks in 3 quarters good?

That's amazing.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I've got to give it up to Arizona State. It's been an amazing turn around season for the Sun Devils. 

Totally...I think they were picked 15th or 16th in the Big 12 preseason poll.

I have been through many Big 12 seasons (before the Buffs went west to the PAC) and this year easily is the most entertaining Big 12 football season I have seen.

we'll see about that...Louisville was their best win then they lost to YBU.

Doesn't matter.  SMU wins the ACC CCG, they will have that first round bye.  But they still will have to beat Clemson.

I know UW's season was crappy but at least you ended the season with a win.

That was mind boggling incompetence from WSU's defensive secondary. 

Coug-ed as usual.

Just saw that one!  LOL at the Pac-12!!!

So if UNLV wins, that means the MWC CCG is UNLV vs Boise State?

We are an official statement of Brennan coming back next season away from this being the worst week in Arizona's history.

How many times will Brennan clap at his presser after it's announced he's coming back?

TCU won so ASU is in the Big 12 CCG.
