Feurian42 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Again, the playoffs were not about the most deserving, its about the best of the best in a playoff. In the old system, yeah they looked at who deserved it. Look at what that got them. Ohio State gets waxed 2 years straight because they were clearly not the better team. The playoff was supposed to remedy that. It was supposed to take the 4 BEST, as I stated already. Don't get me wrong, I think Fla.St. DESERVED a chance to prove themselves. But all year they proved they were no longer the unbeatable. Giving them that chance in the playoff just proved that who you play against needs more consideration. Louisville took them to the wire. Do you see Alabama fighting it out with Louisville?, Ohio State?, Oregon, or more importantly TCU? If the un beaten means so much, why were you not on here all year griping about Marshall getting snubbed? Point blank, Fla.St. lost too much last year talent wise. They struggled to make up for it, and no matter how good Winston is, you need a great team effort to prove you are the best. Fla.St. proved all year they are not great, borderline good, most likely 65 guys riding on the coat tails of one great QB. Hence, without question, NOT one of the best teams in college football. Therefore, should not have gone to the playoffs. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/569480-college-football/page/5/#findComment-1066784399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesizzle Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) A win is a win at the end of the day. If you're the only team out of the power 5 conference to go unbeaten then you should be held in higher regard of any other team getting into the playoff... that's why Rakeem Cato and Marshall didn't get any credit, small school/small conference. We'll agree to disagree. Edited January 7, 2015 by DOOM!

You can not leave them out, that would be insane. That being said, I do believe TCU would beat FSU in a head to head. Doesnt mean they should get the nod over FSU though.

Jonesizzle Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Speaking of TCU my Sooners are interviewing the Horned Frogs o-coordinator (or co-offensive coordinator) Sonnie Cumbie for the same position. Josh Hueple will forever be a Sooner legend, but his ass needs to go somewhere else, his offensive hasn't been right for 3 years. I love Bob Stoops as a head coach, but I truly think his achilles hill is hiring a staff who he is close to or former players. He needs to stretch out and bring in something fresh like a Cumbie. Forget Trevor Knight, I'm telling you now that Baker Mayfield will be a known name this time next year.

Jonesizzle Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Great game to watch, Cardale Jones has a NFL quality arm and mobility, man they'll have one hell of a QB showdown if the yall decide to stay, which would baffle me because all 3 of them could start for any major college program. Mariota was exposed this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if his draft stock takes a hit after this game. He has a lot of upside but isn't "NFL ready" like Winston is.. as far as a QB skill set goes.

Jonesizzle Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Indeed, and the bad part for a lot of teams is that they need a franchise QB and there is none in this draft. Regardless, I think it'll force teams hand to go out and make Mariota and Winston top 5-10 draft picks. That's assuming Mariota declares for the draft, I think he'd be able to lead the Ducks back to the playoff at least, and work on some of his skills if he were to stay at Oregon. Now rumor has it Cardale Jones is thinking about entering the draft. In the past 3 games, games against successful-winning programs, he has shined and looked absolutely tremendous, but would that be enough of a showcasing to justify spending a possible high draft pick on the kid?

Mariota is the best option, which is why Mcshay and Kiper have him going number one. Even Kiper has Winston going 6th on his new board. He doesn't turn the ball over, doesn't make any bone headed mistakes, on or off the field. You're correct about the "no brainer" part, but its definitely picking Mariota over Loseton. Just because the Buckeyes defense played outstanding, doesn't mean he was exposed either.

Jonesizzle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I'll question it if you say questionable things, sorry. So yes, yes and yes. He was exposed because of the offense he is/was running, which will drop his draft stock regardless of who has him going number one. There is only one team in the NFL who runs the same exact offense, and if that team gets Mariota I think he could be a overnight star like RGIII was. If you're really basing his stock off of his td - int ratio, or his ability to not turn the ball over against college teams then I have every right to question your creditability on this matter. He's no where close to Winston as far as arm strength and arm accuracy, which are two main factors, not to include his awarness of the defense and his familiarity with a pro system. We will know for sure after the combine which could make or break certain players. You can't base stats and collegiate achievements on the stock of a football player, you know damn well it doesn't work like that. Like I said, if Winston didn't have off-the-field issues then you'd be retarded to choose Mariota over Winston, unless your Chip Kelly or maybe Tampa Bay (just for the fact that I'd be wary of keeping Jamesis any where close to Tallahassee, I'd keep him out of the state of Florida).
