……the concept of Fake News?? If one listens to a few members of the media even discussing the possibility of Washington State’s making the playoff, the concept of Fake News is alive and well.
True, the Cougars have lost only 1 game (a decisive defeat to a fine Boise State team) but where are their quality wins? As the Beatles once sang, “Nowhere Man.” Wazzu’s two best wins are against Washington and Texas Tech. A so-so San Jose State team took the Cougars to overtime in the Palouse.
Given that Tuesday’s CFP rankings exclude a couple quality SEC teams such as Georgia and Texas A&M, the idea of WSU sneaking in the back door into the CFP are as laughable as giving the Heisman Trophy to one of the Michigan QB’s.
Perhaps such drivel was the byproduct of slow news days. Or genuine empathy for the Pac12 kneecapping Washington State. Regardless, the Cougars could win each of their remaining games, 70-0, and there is zero chance WSU will be in the CFP.
Which is the same as the chance that Mizzou will be in the playoff despite the nonsense emanating from the mouth of the Drink!
