It's not true that Ohio State did not lose a player. Ohio State lost Nick Bosa in September of 2018, after he decided not to come back after surgery. He was arguably the best college defensive end in the entire country. He later ended up going as a first round draft pick to San Francisco.

Keith, as much as I would like to say Penn State beat Ohio State last year they did not. I think he was referring to Purdue beating Ohio State 49 to 20 which happened last year.

Thanks, you're right. I fixed it.

I remembered the incredible amount of noise at the Penn State game and incorrectly remembered that was who Ohio State lost to last year.

Keith

Me thinks j Byrd lost a girlfriend to a buckeye at one time,,lol. Now that bama has flushed themselves, we're doing hypothetical situations now.

Ah yes let's talk last year and the mighty SEC. They were favored in 9 of 11 bowl games and finish 6-5 The Big Ten was favored in 3 of 9 and finish 5-4. It's all fun and games until you actually play the games lol

So jbird63, which SEC school is your alma mater? Could it be that school once lost to Ohio State when all the marbles were at stake?

Jim

As an SEC guy I'm good with whatever scenario unfolds. The committee's job is to put the 4 best teams in the playoff. Doesn't say anywhere that they have to be from 4 different conferences. Heck, if the Big10 put 4 deserving teams in I would still watch. I want to see the best teams play, conference affiliation is what it is.

Word of the day is "Tua". Bama done got Tua them losses now!

I saw the college football playoff top 25 list. Must have been a misprint as it had Alabama at number 12. I counted 5 SEC teams in the top 25 and there are 6 Big 10 teams. No wonder the SEC crowd is so quiet.

Glad ya'll can have a field day once every decade,enjoy. Doubt you like how things go next year, lol.

I'm just pumped that Tennessee is going to a bowl game. And I have to admit that I bought an Ohio State shirt last year because 4 years ago I bought a little place in southern Ohio and I figured people would talk to me more if I was sporting a buckeye shirt and maybe land another property to hunt Lol. Only problem is when I open my mouth with this old country twang they look at me like "your not from around here". And now I'm actually starting to watch the buckeyes and have been impressed. I believe they are definitely one of the two best teams. Go Vols..... Go Bucks

Are there actually voles in TN?

I didn't think you had voles there any more than Alabama has elephants.

Jim

Jim, Tennessee has prairie, meadow and southern red backed voles. Vols however is short for Volunteers which is the University of Tennessee's Football and other sports team name.

Keith

They're named after fighting men not trees or rodents.

Thanks, guys. I was just pulling his leg.

Keith, how is the deer hunting?

Jim

And Alabama still ain't got no freakin' elephants, not outside a zoo.

And even their zoo elephants are a mite puny, I understand.
