I saw it in print but it stated something along the lines of nobody wants to see Utah in the final 4.   I'd have to agree.   If Utah wins big, I believe they are in.

I believe if Oklahoma beats Baylor big, they could be in.     After their last game against each other and no display of defense, it's going to be hard for either to make the playoff unless it is a lopsided victory.

If LSU and Georgia is a close game, they both could be in the final 4 but nobody wants to see a rematch.   

It’s just old school simpletons going by ‘win/lose’ record and nothing else. It’s the same mentality of those who snickered that UCF was the National Champions a couple of years ago...the same way those poor geeks at Texas A&M embarrass themselves and call The University of Texas ‘TU’. Utah in the top four would be a SNL skit.

Lol yeah....well they had to get exposed eventually. I get the powers that be really want to have the West Coast represented in the playoffs, revenue matters, but you can’t expect a team with no top 25 wins and a loss to the withered USC to do it. 
Clemson gets a free ride for sure but they’ve shown up in the big matches and proven they’re for real. We’ll see if that holds this year. OSU has their best performance in quite some time but again, they’ve let down their fans before so we’ll see how they do. If the fourth spot goes to Oregon then OSU has a guaranteed NC game. Baylor/OU would put up points at least but Oregon would be massacred.

Putting up 37 on a defense as stingy as Georgia's is no mean feat.  I guess defense only wins championships when you manage to out-score the other team.

OSU isn’t in the same league as LSU. Big10 always struggles with SEC teams. OSU will have their hands full with LSU.

Of course they will.  And LSU will have their hands full with OSU. They’re  both that good!  

And if you’re paying attention tonight you’ll see that the badgers have a mighty fine team too!

Nah....LSU won’t have much trouble from OSU. Wisconsin giving OSU a helluva fight! Go Wisconsin!!!

Shame...OSU got off with a huge holding penalty to score that TD...great luck there.

Wow, how about that for a first half?!

Now Wisconsin needs to keep the foot on the gas, stay aggressive, and don’t try to get defensive...

Classic Big10 football...boring ...mediocre speed up the middle runs, 3 and out. But nice to see Wisconsin giving ‘em hell.

Not sure. Fivethirtyeight has them as a 50/50 with Wisconsin.

In my opinion OSU is the most complete team in the country and deserves to stay at #1 heading into the playoffs.

I don’t agree. And it really doesn’t matter to me where a team is ranked at this point. All the pie charts and bar graphs are out the window. We won’t know what any team really has until they play one another. And IMO only, my opinion, this means there are no spreadsheets or graphs, LSU is considerably better than OSU especially after watching LSU handle Georgia compared to OSU/Wisconsin. And IMO things like opponent win% mean nothing as you’re trying to compare apples to oranges.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
