QB Braden Atkinson has been ruled out this weekend against Boise State.

The leading passer in the country suffered an injury against Texas State to his throwing hand. Maalik Murphy will likely be the starter for the College Gameday showdown. #GoBeavs

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@quackquack_08 Why?

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

I’m sure if Atkinson and Legree are both staying then Sheph and Dahlen will be as well. Let’s get an upset win against Boise, win out, win PAC 12 championship, then dominate portal. It’s a great time to be an OSU fan.

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@MikeJon59061953 We GET to play BYU & Ole Miss without them canceling, and hopefully we can put a roster together to compete in those games

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

Totally unfair what is happening to Boise State. Let's be real: Oregon State and Washington State are considered power schools, but BSU not being one is utter bullcrap. Same with teams like Rutgers, Maryland, Arkansas, Boise State is on par with all of those teams.

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@tarkaniang @Cougfan2383 That’s not what I’m asking, I’m saying should a team that just happens to be in the right conference be considered a good enough opponent, when there are better opponents in other conferences, you’re just dodging what I’m saying😂

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@tarkaniang @Cougfan2383 "Even though you have historically been horrible, because you are lucky enough to be in a conference that wasn't blown up means you should count as quality opponent, despite sucking on the field"

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@tarkaniang @Cougfan2383 A team bringing in/spending more money has 0 to do with what they do on the field. Why should a team that is more fiscally irresponsible be rewarded over a team that is getting better results with less? That doesn't make any sense

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@tarkaniang @Cougfan2383 So, should Colorado, Cal, and UA also be considered non-power schools? What do you consider a real power school? How far back do we go?

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@tarkaniang @Cougfan2383 Yeah, but you can say the same thing about half the old PAC, or even the bottom half of any major conference, the whole point is what makes a lot of those teams "Power teams" has nothing to do with skill

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Spookyload So no going back 10 years is what's the worst for OSU compared to others, but still while being near the bottom, their are "Power 4" schools below them, is their anything "Power" about UA, Colorado, or Cal?

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Spookyload Well I did 2014-2023, so your first point is irrelevant (why would I ever include 2 years without everyone?). For 20 years back OSU is above Colorado, WSU, and UA (still above 2 "power" teams) and 30 years OSU is above WSU, Colorado, Cal, and tied with UA.

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Spookyload WSU is the doormat with the 5th-best record in the last 10 years of the PAC-12? OSU was 11th in 2023 before losing to UW by 2, and finished 14th in 2022. Why was Colorado (worst record in the Pac-12 in the last 10) invited but they weren't (hint: it has to do with TV, not skill)

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@MikeJon59061953 No, but it didn't matter this year for the CFP; next year it does with the 10 P4 requirements

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@MikeJon59061953 We play BYU as well next year?

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@MikeJon59061953 OSU and WSU are being considered P4 opponents for teams that have them scheduled in 2027. Chill

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@boisestatetop4 Yes, agreed. I just dont see a world where the other confrences don't have one in an effort to compete with the PAC 12, since most likely we will always be the favorite for that auto bid

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

If we don't have conference championships anymore, and the PAC-12 (or any G6) might not get its #1 team in, what's stopping them from playing that game anyway for a bullet point to the committee?

Also, the MAC will prob make the CFP; what's stopping them from playing it anyway?

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Cougfan2383 And my whole way of determining that was not based on conference, but rather on a formula (which no one has made) that would be a 5-year rolling average of whether a team could qualify as a strong enough opponent.

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Cougfan2383 And in my mind BSU, JMU, New Mexico, while yes aren't and never were in a "power" confrence, they deserve to be considered a qualifying opponent in the same way OSU and WSU are considered for not only 2027 but throughout the next couple years

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@Cougfan2383 I don't think you get what I am saying. I understand the circumstances in which those games were scheduled. I am saying that if we (the G6) want to keep getting those games, or if the committee wants to encourage tough OOC games, their should be criteria on what "power" means.

[Herd Bros @TheCFBAdvocate]

The Kansas Jayhawks have had two winless seasons in the CFP era.

Boise State has been bowl eligible for 29 straight years.

Kansas finished in the CFP rankings zero times.

Boise State finished in the CFP rankings five times.

But Kansas counts as "P4?”

P4 ≠ good team

[Parker @BeavsKnees03]

@clock_picker Yes
