Does not playing a game in 25 days really give a team that much of a disadvantage against a team whose last game was 10 days ago who before that had not played a game since 20 days earlier. C’mon now. The bye in and of itself didn’t cause this.

Was Oregon?
I thought they were the undefeated #1 seed, having already beaten Ohio State head-to-head and winning the Big 10.

Now that the top 4 seeds are the best four teams, after a few years those teams will have the clear advantange. No question about it.

It took tOSU a half to wake up. This format is shitty


tOSU took full advantage of it last year, so they have absolutely no gripe.

Ohio State played 3 good teams this year and couldn't score more than 2 touchdowns against any of them.



That has nothing to do with a layoff.

Hell, the team they played without a layoff, they scored the least against


That right there disproves your narrative

Miami hasn’t played a good team since the beginning of the year

Get the frick out of here with that shite

They got a test 10 days before this, and that’s the point here

And came out and passed the hell out of that test 20 days after playing a game and did it in the other team’s home stadium.

Before tonight Miami had played one game in 30 days. Ohio State had played one in 25. I’ll grant you Miami’s last one was more recent but do you really think it made much of a difference?

Even if OSU didn't have the bye, they aren't winning that game tonight. Miami.had the better LOS, and was way more physical.

Both Texas A&M and Miami had the same amount of days off. You let Ohio St play 10 days ago and this game goes differently

OSU’s LOS played worlds better in the 2nd half

So why do the pros kill to get it ? maybe it's becuase the media does not kno ho to rank the teams ? OSU and Indiana suck. #2 OSU got dominated by the #3 ACC team.
