[Trust Me]

We lost on the road on the last play of the game. OSU got blown out at home

Fair enough. But at the end of the day, that’s 2 L’s compared to their 1.

You can’t just overlook that. And their L was to the #2 team in the country.

 

[RammerJammer]

You're on crack.

The most Michigan has given up all year was 23 on the road vs the #2 team in America.

Bama did that that 5 times this year... including 52 to weak ass Tennessee. But hey, you shutout Austin Peay and Utah state my bad

Michigan would be favored by 10 1/2

Y’all would not be favored by double digits, stop

Michigan has averaged surrendering 5.4 points in second halfs of games this year. How do you keep it closer?

I've been agreeing w/ @Silkk all year that the expanded playoff only means Bama can drop a couple games to get healthy, get in and run the table. I don't want to see OSU in the playoffs this season (even at 12 teams) b/c they don't deserve to be in, they had their shot, they knew the stakes and they didn't accomplish the goal...why do they deserve another shot at Mich?

Once conference alignments happen we'll see some shyt like SEC East vs. West foe in the regular season, then title game, then in the playoffs...no one should play the same team 3 times in one year. Rivalries in CFB are dope b/c you get 1 shot all year....OSU isn't supposed to get another shot, 1 week later and then a third shot again in the playoffs. Imagine the agony of Mich beating them in CBus, beating them for the conf. title...and all of that being meaningless if OSU beats them 1 time in the playoffs. Trash af

But they're both mediocre. Outside of the game they played each other, Ole Miss and Miss State combined beat zero ranked teams all year. Combined they only beat two winning teams all year: Troy and Kentucky. Ole Miss and Miss State combined didn't win a single road game against a winning team and combined only won four road games total.

And you know what Miss State's contribution to that is? Again, outside of the game where they played each other, Mississippi State beat ZERO ranked teams, ZERO teams with winning records, and had only won ONE road game all year.

How fukking incredible is it that a team who made it to the final weekend of the season without beating a single team with a winning record and only winning 1 road game is now ranked in the top-25?

Bomani offered this, when has anything been on the line for their rivalry other than one upping the other school, and that’s where the Mississippi schools are, good teams have come out of their programs but it’s never amounted to anything

I’ve got a feeling the ensuing auburn fukkery is gonna be magical.

I’m here for it

I’ll eat that LSU loss but anyone who watched that Tennessee game know we didn’t lose that.Phantom pi bullshyt after we had the game won.What a joke.That game is tainted.Deserves an asterix.

That might be, but you don’t give up 52 to Tennessee in the first place, especially given all the stars lining up on that field in crimson helmets

You only think this is if you are overrating OSU defense

They were statistically ranked top 5 i believe off hand

Is Drake Maye leaving???

Be interesting but to where and why

Michigan fans arguing for OSU to be in the playoffs should be making your eyes bleed

It's worse when he says some stupid shyt...you destroy it point by point, and he rebutts with "so you think _____" strawman argument and ignores everything else. All year by him, and half the lsu fans. That's why I told em to go get their fukkin shine box after their third loss this year

I hope Penn state destroys one of those two

Rodney dangerfield is the woat, it’s always goalpost moving when arguing with him, it’s never ok i see that point

They fear Bama

@Rhakim no one cares

Also, before I ask this, this ain’t an endorsement for Alabama being in the CFP and you haven’t seen me advocate for Alabama being in the CFP this year and you won’t.

BUT

What if USC loses to Utah and TCU loses to Kansas State in a surprising blowout, what are they gonna do then?

fukkery will ensue

That’s assuming that plays out that way, in basketball unc may play Duke 4-5 times and them crackas be off in them stands like they giving away money, i would think special concessions would be made, where if we beat osu they’d be on the other side of the bracket with a harder road to seeing us, that probably would include uga at uga followed by the 5-6 ranked teams that be a gauntlet

1000%

Dont know why @DropTopDoc be acting like im speaking French

No playing osu 3 times would suck but it happens in the nfl it happens in cbb, and people will pay large sums of money to see it, and as i explained above, the road back to the rematch would be a lot harder

This is why non conference scheduling is so important. Otherwise, it's just a circle jerk of each respective conference without a real gauge of how good everyone is besides a few transitive properties of who played the same team, etc.

@DropTopDoc I agree playing the same team 3x happens in the NFL but we all love CFB for the reasons it's not the NFL...I can miss weeks of NFL games in October and know damn well what I've missed will meaningless come January.

Hoops is different...always played rivals at least 2x and I think that's dope...I still feel CFB rivalry should be 1x a year. UGA & Bama isn't a true rivalry in the sense that they don't play a scheduled game every season. That Bama vs. LSU season back in 2011 was whack af for everyone besides those two teams...and LSU ended up getting the short end of that...the regular season win became meaningless

Do you agree that College Football’s regular season is better than the NFL’s and College Basketball’s?

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Do you agree that College Football’s regular season is better than the NFL’s and College Basketball’s?

Exactly...and yes, we know fans will watch osu vs. mi even if they play 6x/year but fans also go to taylor swift concerts and consume other over-exposed products.

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

If Alabama is ranked 5th tonight

Although, I do wonder if the same people in favor of expansion would still be in favor of it if Bama (or Ohio State) got in this year. Because in a 12 team playoff, both teams will make it every year even with multiple losses.

shyt once the 12-team 'offs start, at least least 6 spots are already booked with UGA, Bama, OSU/MICH, TCU, USC, CLEM.

The other 6 spots is gonna be a free for all and that's not including ORE, a 3rd SEC and/or Big 10 team taking 2-3 more spots up

 

[Trav]

They should baby stepped this shyt and only did 6 to start off with instead of jumping to 12.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

They should baby stepped this shyt and only did 6 to start off with instead of jumping to 12.

When 12 is ultimately a failure and one of the conferences is ready to die after a media implosion, we'll finally get a 4 or 8 bracket tournament of champions.
