re: OSU should rest their starters vs Michigan just to troll

No it’s not. It’s just a game. Sure, to Michigan it’s their Super Bowl but Ohio State doesn’t care. They have bigger goals. And I’m a GT guy who gets to play a Super Bowl every Thanksgiving which is because we are the lesser team. Only the nobodies live for 1 game a year.

The winner of a rivalry game will celebrate for one night and then move on unless the6 have nothing to move on to.

This is why the playoffs suck.

The playoffs will prove to be the greatest iteration of college football ever. It will just take time for the older generation to die off and the younger generation to take over the sport. The days of games in August and September defining a season are over. If you want games like Michigan-OSU, Auburn-Bama, Florida- FSU, Georgia-GT to matter then both teams need to build up to make a 16 or 24 team playoff. Then those games will really matter.

Right now, many of you are just living with nostalgia in your head. The games are still fun and people are clearly still willing to spend disposable income on games that don’t really matter so just enjoy the ride. Texas-Ohio State was sold out but it ultimately meant nothing as both teams will make the playoffs.

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying. Folks are mad at Michigan because they had a system that actually worked unlike many who paid players under the table only to see a lot of those players not pan out or get fat. That’s why I love NIL - so many teams are just wasting money on players. I look at Auburn who bought my teams WR. We haven’t missed a beat and Auburn wasted money and the player is now living in obscurity. I love it all.

Resting your starters in a heated rivalry game and against a team that JUST beat you last year would be insane

OSU will probably still win with their backups.
