LOL
Are you really trying to use rankings at the time they played? You really are an SEC fanboy. When it was all said and done, Ohio State had more wins over ranked teams than anyone else. Not that it matters, but stop trying to spin your BS.

I expect OSU to do their talking on the field.

Go Bucks!

Jim

Oh so you think them loosing tua to a season ending injury didn't hurt Bama's final ranking?
Ok Let me word it so you can understand.

LSU beat Georgia who's FINAL ranking was 6. STILL higher than ANY team OH ST beat before ,during , or after the season ranking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about that spin?????? Still think it's bull. Which rankings you want to use??????


Georgia was 4th at the time LSU beat them also !!!!!!!!!!! But we don't need to use that ranking now do we LOL LOL LOL

BOOM M magis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Better do a little research before you try to spin your BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the final week of the season ? Toss up between Auburn and a Bama without tua ..... Georgia is done if Fromme doesn't come back . Fla is wishy washy......

M magis If you will read EVERY post I have made really slow you will find on several occasions I have said THE OHIO STATE buckeyes are a team to be reckoned with. UNLIKE in the past were they got in mainly on their history. Not just my opinion but the end results. Yes in 2014 they won it all NO ONE can take that from them . But for the Last 5 years the mighty BIG ten hasn't even scored a point in a play off game. You know the ones that really matter !!!! If and when they get there they have choked. Look at the last ten years the buckeyes performance in the national title game. Heck go back fifteen years. Fla destroyed them in one title game Oh st ran the kick off back for a touch down then only had 4 first downs the rest of the 59 minutes in the entire game. Then the next year LSU destroyed them ( may have those years reversed) The title they won against Miami (2003) was given to them on a bad call in first over time... The hurricanes had stopped them on fourth down and the line judge threw a flag from over 50 yards away . He couldn't even see the play !!!!! HHHMMMMMM ..............

But really all this can be thrown out the window with the kick offs. Best thing is now that the teams have to play they can settle it on the field. Best of luck to whomever you pull for.
Going to be some great games I think......

Sure a lot of OSU haters on here.

I'll bet a $100 to some Tman fund they'll win. I'll send it to Patrice and she can spend it how she sees fit. Which one of you wind bags wants to take that up and match it?

GO BUCKS!!!

Is there really any other way to read one of your post. You know really slow. To read it any other way would be like trying to clog my toilet on purpose.

Haters gonna Hate! GO BUCKS!!

Well thank you Capt Scott . But even with my "slow knowing" I do know OH ST's record in bowl games against the pitiful SEC . You want to hear it? CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!


1 win and 9 LOSSES !!!!!!!!

If you look it up you will find 2 wins but the Arkansas win was vacated due to infractions in the 2011 sugar bowl .......

So good luck to your buckeyes it is starting to look embarrassing.......

any given team on any given day - thats why we play the games rather than just taking the statistics and naming a winner.

3 teams in the playoffs are undeafeated conference champs from Big 5 Conferences - I like that... and can't really argue much with the 4th team.

I'm certainly not an Ohio State hater. I would prefer they beat Clemson. After all, they are a Big Ten team and I would favor them because of that. I was just trying to be realistic in saying I didn't feel they qualified to be playing for the national championship. I don't consider beating WI 34-21 at home a crushing. Apparently, neither did the pollsters since they dropped OSU out of first place.

That was not a home game for Ohio State, the game was played in Indianapolis. How do you figure you are being realistic by saying you don't feel they are qualified to be playing for the national championship? Who do you think should be playing?

I didn't realize it was played on a neutral field. WI was rated 8th I believe and didn't very often overwhelm the teams they won against. Yet, they took it to the #1 team in the nation in the first half. Don't get me wrong, Ohio State has always been and still is an awesome football team deserving a top bowl game. I don't consider a 34-21 victory a trouncing, though.

LSU beating Georgia was more of a trouncing at 37-10 and I think Georgia was a better team than WI. I watched that entire game and felt Georgia was lucky to even get their only TD.

I think LSU rolled over their opponents other than Auburn and Alabama. Certainly, Ohio State or Clemson would be a better choice to play for the national championship than OK. Anybody can have a bad game. OSU may have underestimated WI in the first half because they are a definitely a better team than WI. Clemson or Ohio State would be a more obvious choice than OK. Either team is good enough to play for the national championship.

It doesn't make sense to me to have the #4 ranked team play the #1 ranked team. What were they thinking? If I were a Clemson or Ohio State fan, I'd be PO'd too.

I think they belong. They got in because they are a good team. The big issue with saying someone doesn't belong is who would replace them. The thing about college football is even teams records aren't fair. Player stats aren't realistic. if teams/ players are not playing against the same teams or in the same conferences then it's apples to oranges. The numbers the quarter backs put up in the big 12 or pac 12 are weighted by the fact they don't play defense. Not saying they can't score. But when the backs are seeing sub pair defenses 10 out of 12 weeks during the year it is easy to rack up the stats. How many passing yards do you think TUA would have gotten this year if they wanted to pad his stats. Boy didn't play a snap in the 4th quarter in 8 out of the 11 games he played. Same thing from the defense. Clemson should have won by 30 plus in every game in that pitiful conference.
Until they expand the play off and don't punish a team for having nonstop weak competition( UCF) or tough comp (half the sec or big 10) this debate will wage on.
But money talks and that is why we still have these meaningless bowl games. Money paid out will blow your mind !!!! They claim not enough time to expand to a certified playoff. What ? when is this championship? Other levels of FB have a bracket tournament .....


Look at the NFL and the dallas cowboys vs eagles. Below 500 but one will be a divisional champion !!!!!!!!!!!!

First game or second if you want the title gonna have to beat them sometime.

But you went from saying not in to being #1 seed ????

It doesn't make sense to me to have the #4 ranked team play the #1 ranked team. What were they thinking? If I were a Clemson or Ohio State fan, I'd be PO'd too.

If you ever look how tournaments are bracketed that's the way it's usually done. Football, Basketball, wrestling etc. the highest seed takes on the lowest seed. A 8 team bracket would have 1vs8, 2vs7 3vs6 4vs5.
I have no idea who will win the national championship but it looks to be a fun one this year

Dang those OH crickets sure are loud after I posted OH ST's record against the SEC !!!!!!!

I REALLY dislike OH State but I can't think of a 5th team that would deserve to be in the playoffs more than they do. But I think they only have one game left this season.
