The Big Ten is hoping for an upset win by Colorado which will open up a slot in the CFP that the winner of the Wisconsin /. Penn State game or even Michigan could fill.
Colorado vs. Washington: By the numbers
No one can argue (reasonably) that Jim Harbaugh is not a sore loser. He most certainly is as well as being a little strange over all – if you know what I mean. However, I cannot remember a coach being fired for being a poor lose or even a “little” strange. What they get fired for is losing – period or some sort of true (even if minor – Gold Pants-Gate) scandal. This is especially true if it is your chief rival. So I don’t blame him for being sore and bitter if he thinks the officials calls lost him the game. Meyer on the other hand would have himself to blame if OSU would have lost. Special team problems – Missed field goals and the most ridiculous fake punt deep in OSU territory.
OK – Lets look at each of the plays Harbaugh is griping about:
In the final analysis, every team can expect to have some calls go their way and some calls go against them. If it is a tight game like this then those calls could decide it. I am betting that next year Harbaugh will be hoping to not have to worry about officiating being a factor.
It has to be ONE of the greatest ever. OSU – Michigan 1987 had a bigger comeback and 1975 was a terrific game. OSU – Michigan 2006 had Number 1 against number 2. The only game that comes close in my book was the Double OT National Championship game against Miami. I LOVE College OT!
TODAY – it is definitely the greatest win ever!
Hera is the 1 point to 2 point conversion chart developed by Dick Vermeil when he was the offensive coordinator at UCLA in the 1970’s. Apparently this is still in use:
This was long before college overtime start in 1996.
Unless your team has demonstrated tremendous success on the 2 point conversion during the season OR you have just lost your starting QB (Even then it might be a bad idea: OSU-Mich 2013) I would want to give BOTH my offense and defense a chance to prove themselves in overtime.
