re: It must suck to be an OSU fan

It must suck to be an OSU fan

Yeah I've seen my team play for 6 national championships and win 3 in my lifetime. Totally sucks.
Would you rather play in the world series or win the AL east?
None of the active coaches who've won a national championship (Kirby, Day, Dabo) would have been hired using these requirements.

They trotted out their entire 2nd offensive and defensive teams against Michigan?

This is the 4d chess move. Losing to Michigan would likely keep Ohio State in the top 4 guaranteeing a first round bye but a Michigan win would send them to the big ten championship game to face Indiana so Ohio State sits at home championship game weekend AND the first round of the playoffs.

I would take this path all day, regular season rivalry games mean very little in today's college football.

re: ND ahead of Bama?, huh

They said Miami and ND are not in the same tier 

I remember when they made up that criteria in like 2017 or 2018. Heather dinich and the committee randomly started saying they could decide two teams are "unequivocal" and then they didnt have to compare any metrics of those two teams with each other. Which raises the obvious question of how they determined the teams werent equivalent to each other if they didnt compare them.

Because he didn’t win the SEC West every year between 2009-2020. He was good, but he didn’t dominate like he did from 2011-2018. Alabama finished 4th in the SEC west in 2010 and 2nd in 2019.

He didnt win every sec west title from 2011-2018 either. I'm just wondering why his first and last national titles are getting cut off from his run of dominance at Alabama.

This graphic, though, doesn’t point to a dominant season for the guy. 

They should break it down by halfs or quarters for it to be a more meaningful stat. Generally your starting quarterback isnt throwing the ball around as much if you're leading games by a healthy margin in the second half.
quote:

Adding an additional in conference game will statistically create more 9-3 records.

Sure and those 9-3 teams will be at the front of the line if there arent enough 2 loss teams for the playoff field. There's already people saying Texas will be in this year at 9-3 if they beat A&M.
The sec is in position to get 5 maybe even 6 teams in the playoffs this year, I dont think coaches are going to have that hard of a time getting into the playoffs from the sec.
I always thought rich rod looking towards the michigan job led to them choking against pitt in the final regular season game and missing the bcs championship game. He was for sure gone before west virginia's bowl game that year.
I dont remember the exact timing but I kind of remember rich rod in talks to jump ship for michigan while west virginia was in prime position to make the bcs championship game in 07.

Michigan should have had all their wins vacated for 2022 and 2023.

The problem is cooperating with the ncaa has always led to getting hammered while lawyering up and telling the ncaa to frick off usually lets you get away. The ncaa never really had any investigative powers and just relied on self reporting and suspected programs handing over their own evidence. The more you snitch on yourself, the more the ncaa is going to punish you. I dont know why any school chooses to cooperate with them at all, Michigan basically refused to give an inch and the ncaa was powerless to really do much of anything to them.

Every school is looking for 2011- 2018 Nick Saban.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with what you're saying but why isnt it 2009-2020 Nick Saban?
And everyone here has been crying for the last three weeks that A&M should be ranked #1
A&M will still win like 40 to 13, anyone can come out hyped up for a single quarter.
No one is forcing you to insert yourselves into "white" society. Its just constant complaining about white people while at the same time trying to wedge theirselves in as much as possible. If white people are so bad then just leave us the frick alone.

Most young people (under 35) have completely abandoned MAGA over this week if you didnt keep your head in the sand.

If they're really that fickle there's still plenty of time to win them back.

Trump lost the midterms this week.

You vastly overestimate the attention span of the average American. The midterms will be won or lost based on what happens during the month leading up to the elections next year.

ranked at the time that they played

Do you think teams who beat penn state, clemson or miami early in the season should get credit for top 5 wins when we're doing the final playoff rankings?
Your football takes are pretty weak but I like the tcap reference for your username so you're cool.
