Why is Ohio State ranked #1?

[stealthyburrito]

Real funny isn't it?????

Sorry seaborner formidable but you were clearly wrong and I was right. You jumped the gun a few weeks.

Ohio St.

Love having the last laugh being proven right when I said let's see what they do against a good opponent.

Knew it was a matter of time

[stealthyburrito]

Knew it was a matter of time

Yup, we knew Vegas

[stealthyburrito]

No if ands or buts here. Lost to a one loss opponent @ home.

They were bested by a better team even after winning TO battle

[Vegas39]

Yup, we knew Vegas

Iowa now a top 4 team

seaborneq is probably somewhere in the corner drinking and crying

Amazing right

Yuck. Would be interesting to see if Mich St. beats Iowa in the big ten title game (barring a loss to Penn St.).

I can't imagine Mich St. being left out of the playoffs. Right?

Shouldn't but then they have a lucky horseshoe up ass. They should have 2 losses

I really hope the committee doesn't vault Michigan State into the top 5 now.

Ohio State obviously isn't as good as they were last year and still hasn't beaten a ranked team.

The Big 10 will get exposed in the post-season this year.

Like I said two weeks ago, if Ohio State and TCU lose and Iowa keep winning, then they are in the playoffs. Unless no doubt if the committee does another screw job like they did last year, TCU only has one loss and ranked like 18th now, Memphis no punishment for losing, so many teams with rankings that dont make sense, but Im glad the frauds who were put in over TCU last year who didnt deserve it just got bumped off.

Iowa is so fukking overrated. I can't wait to unload my bank roll at the proper time.

Big 12 will need to have a team with zero losses with having no title game. Same as last year thats looked at as a negative

[jjgold]

Iowa keeps wining

Ohio St must be out now

Haven't watched them but a few highlights. That bad?

[Booya711]

The citadel will be #4 since they beat SC

[Vegas39]

I say yes, give the small school some exposure and a fat payday

[BigDofBA]

Iowa in the top 5...which will be top 4 now is comical.

I'd hate to work at a golden coral in Columbus tonight. There's going to be some plates moved down the buffet aisle in dispair tonight

That doesnt make sense to me, should depend on who you beat more IMO. We know they simply hold certain teams with more respect than others. we've seen time and again in past years Bama and certain others given all the respect in the world, in the past Bama can lose a game and not even win their division nor their conference, not play in the conference championship and still play for the national championship.

Definitely its still about who will draw ratings as well as if that teams fans travel to games. Far from perfect IMO

OSU lost today. They still have the best loss of all the 1 loss teams. Still should have been number 1 until they lost. Florida won today, but I guarantee they will fall in the rankings. OSU won all of their games until today, how many of the other teams other than CLemson had done that and moved up?????? Bama was the only 1 loss team that has been more impressive since their loss.

[stealthyburrito]

seaborner

it's ok to admit homerism once and a while.

Best loss? Perhaps. but there collective wins? I'm sure they hang their hat on signature wins over illinois, indiana, and that powerhouse from hawaii.

The Columbus Crew just beat the NY Red Bulls 2-0 in the first leg of the eastern championship of MLS daner, so the GC back to normal

if they beat michigan and iowa with state losing to penn state, they are in because they want an alabama osu rematch. I will double down on alabama to get my 500 back from last years loss

OSU is out of the running for a playoff spot unless bama loses to auburn or Florida. Clemson would still probably get in with a loss to FSU if FSU beats Florida. They will try to make sure a big 12 team is in. PAC 12 should be done.
