Buckeyes in, assuming SI can be trusted.

We knew they would change their own stupid rules. The B10 has been a cluster Fukk with Covid. Late to the party but now crashing it because of money.

How can you say that OSU is one of the four best teams? Are you basing it off of recruiting? Certainly not by the games they’ve played this year. They definitely do not deserve a top ranking with that schedule. Coastal Carolina has a better resume. Now, you are going by the eye test which is ridiculous because on any given day an undefeated Steeler team can lose to a loser Giants team. Especially this year when conferences are only playing each other, how do you know that Texas A&M could be the 2nd best team in the country? Clemson and ND could be the 2 best. We don’t know and just because Boise beat Oklahoma, that did not mean Boise was better than OU. They happen to be better that day.

We can discuss until we’re blue in the face, which teams are better and who is most deserved. Until we play the games, we’ll never know. Which is why I think the committee should always have a plus one or two additional games when there are more than 4 deserving teams. If Coastal Carolina is undefeated, they deserve a shot. OSU deserves a shot if they are undefeated even with fewer games but so should ND, Clemson, Bama, UF depending on their CGs. Perhaps TAM or OK State maybe. The B12 could be the best conference right now. We don’t know because they didn’t play other P5 conferences and could have just beat up each other.

no argument here...I've been saying the same thing for years...little guy always gets shafted when it comes to Division I-A football...It's no secret this current four team playoff system is just as every bit as a farce as the former BCS system...the little guy or "group of 5" conferences are getting shafted and without any lube...but again how do we know how really good any of these teams are?...you can say the same thing about Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and all of the other SEC schools that have fattened up on cupcakes over the years and then use the excuse that they beat up on each other...so you tell me who belongs in over Ohio ST assuming they go undefeated?..and then tell me from one gambler to another would you bet on that school over the buckeyes if they were to play each other?...Coastal Carolina is a great example...I would love for them to get their chance and prove themselves against the big boys...but if we are being honest, who do you think has a better shot of beating Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame...them or Ohio ST?...and who would you bet your money on STRAIGHT UP?.....Coastal Carolina or Ohio ST?...I think we all know the answer to that...but go on, I'll wait...

Florida, Texas A&M, Miami. All teams id bet ml to beat Ohio state

[cincinnatikid513]

Obviously the vast majority of you losers do NOT know the Big 10 rule. Ohio State must play 6 CONFERENCE games to be eligible to play in the Big 10 Championship Game. Don't any of you dumb idiots in here ever look up the rules? You people are as dumb as they come. You are nothing more than a bunch of lazy, illiterate, lying, phony bastardo's who are not worth a crap. And you guys KNOW IT!!

this guy

I will take that bet if and when it happens...give me Ohio ST.

[clockwise1965]

Probably a good thing for Michigan

[Wrongside]

Ohio State deserves to get 'screwed' this year. I see this as most fair. Everybody is getting screwed. Reward the team and conferences that played. Sheesh.

Talk about being entitled...so your conference sucks and you get the best recruits -- so what? This is not why we watch and like sports.

And it looks like Ohio State is playing against air -- because they practically are, with the amount of practices Big1O defenses got it...

Big 10 needs to read the children story of The Little Red Hen

[packerd_00]

The hype of this game is far to overblown. Ohio State has been clobbering them for years.

[Codasintehhouse]

Very one dimensional offense. Find Olive, if he’s not open Fields runs the ball. That shit won’t work against a good defense with speed. I can’t wait for them to play a team with a pulse.

251 yds a game rushing 281 passing, yep one dimensional for sure

wish the Committee would rank OSU #5 now

Why?

They're an excellent and undefeated team

Can’t let OSU continue to lead the discussion on a playoff spot. They are just not one of the top teams based on resumes or games played this year. They needed at least 10 games to warrant slight consideration this year. 7 games against the BIG 10 means absolutely nothing this year.

The Committee re: resumés.



It's at least half the media's fault too. They have always loved College Football because they can keep justifying their 'predictions' and analysis via their vote -- even when resumés say something different, i.e. were proven to be wrong.

I will be rooting for Florida and Clemson to both win. That guarantees no playoff for Osu

You don't think OSu (themselves) and many others (for them) would make a case over Notre Dame...even though they should try to be making a case over Bama.

If Florida and Clemson win, at least 30% chance Ohio State still gets in.

Alabama and Notre Dame are both locks. The question is about Clemson. If they lose? They could be out and that opens the door for a second Sec team, if FL does not beat Alabama

[Wrongside]

If Bama loses to Florida, I could see Bama getting to play Florida in the first round of CFP in what would be an impossible game for Florida to win.

No rematches in the playoffs please

No rematches in the playoffs please

I have also been sort of okay with these championship games being a defacto playoff game themselves, given that the system is inherently unfair - teams should just know that them the rules, even if it, too, seems unfair.* However, not this year...

More has to be unpacked here, but let's just say I am okay telling a team who thinks they have a strong case win or lose(albeit not an open and shut case) that, no - they actually need to win their championship game to advance...and yes a slightly inferior team might get the nod over you...

Brock, you SOB (and I like you). This is the type of thinking that made BYU and Coastal last week seem like Ali/Frazier to us college football fans...Going undefeated Trumps all-- so that's all that matters, you look good, get big signees and don't lose.

The all mighty 'undefeated' label. And it has gotten worse this year evidenced by teams seeing no consequence to cancelling game/ not trying to reschedule another game just to protect the 0

OSu should be playing this week. FIND SOMEONE. Big 10 is great at rewriting their rules in order so that one of their teams can make the playoffs, but not so that one of their teams might legitimately make the playoffs....They should suffer for this.

We get almost no good games in the reg season now, and any true college FB fan knows, those Autumn games--that's the good stuff...Bowl games--even if it's the wack semi-finals aint the same...

[stake1]

Osu is just like the conference of quitters. They quit by refusing to find a game this weekend. Acc, Sec, Big12 rolled on along with others from the beginning. Now the conference of quitters/Osu want a break and a share of that CFP money? Total bs.
Osu does not deserve any of that money, nor do any of the other schools in that conference. They have played 5 games. The rest of the schools in the running have been out there for months, losing kids to inury. I am sure Alabama would have loved to "quit" vs TN, never played and still have Waddle running past everyone on the field this weekend
