Classy.

j/c

Had 65 people over today. From age 8 months to age 65. I was totally prepared to have the ichigan fans celebrating. I, and the rest of the OSU fans, certainly did NOT expect this.

I loved it.

I thought you were rooting for TUN?

Why would you have thought that?

Your comment defending Michigan's smack talk.

can you link to that comment? Thanks.

Ah, thank you.

That was enough to make you think I was rooting for Michigan???????


Michigan was favored, and with good reason. OSU has owned them for years, but this was to be ichigan's year.

Yup, I can understand how, prior to the game, ichigan fans were excited/pumped up. Of course.


But, if that lead you to believe I was rooting for ichigan, you need to re think things.

I'll gladly accept your apology, IF you ever offer one.

No apology, but okay.

So, that statement made you think I was rooting for ichigan? Please................


That statement of mine, prior to this game, made you think I was rooting for ichigan? Damn man, get with it.

It was a question. Big deal. I'm sorry if you were offended.

Not offended at all. Just curious how in the hell you could take that statement, and assume I was rooting for ichigan. No way possible a sane person could read that statement and assume I was rooting for ichigan. None. No way.

Okay. LOL

Seriously. Taking the comment you quoted, and deciding that meant I was rooting for michigan is akin to me making a comment that the chargers fans have a right to think they'll beat the Brown.................and you assuming I was rooting for the chargers in that game.

Dang, you ate simplistic.

I already said "okay" after your explanation. What more do you want?

An apology for your wrong thinking, ill advised, assumptious post about me rooting for michigan.

But, it's you. You've been back for just a day or 2? Maybe 3? I don't expect responsibility from you.

Pfftt...............Get lost, hater.

Once again, wrong. I don't hate. Fact is, you made some ludicrous assumption based on a post I made, that I was rooting for michigan. A post that you quoted. Ain't 1 damn person on here that reads that quote that would jump to the conclusion you did.


Thanks for playing.

Ohio State should move up to 6 this week. If they can thump Northwestern they will have a shot if Oklahoma wins another squeaker and Georgia loses.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Georgia
5. Oklahoma
6. Ohio State

- We need Bama to beat Georgia
- We need to handle Northwestern
- We need Oklahoma to either lose to Texas, or look BAD in a close win

Can I settle for the other 30%?

Congrats ... WOW ... thought u guys were about even ... didnt see this coming ... *L*

I thought u guys were just on the wrong side of the bubble ...

Not no more ... *L* ...

I think OSU jumps Oklahoma Tuesday and then when Alabama wins over UGA we move to 4 ... JMHO

Has there been a year since the playoff system started that we knew for sure whether Ohio State would be in or out? I don't think there has.

2014 - Were on the outside looking in, down to their 3rd string quarterback where they still soundly defeated Michigan and then crushed Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game to nab the last playoff spot over a couple Big 12 teams. Won title.

2015 - An even better team than the year before, one of the most talented college teams ever. 12 players drafted in the first 4 rounds in the ensuing draft, including 5 first rounders (Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliott, and others.) 11-1 in the regular season but their lone loss was to Michigan State (a close one in their house) who then got the nod in the championship game with the head-to-head tiebreaker. Ohio State was left with 11-1 but only one quality win (at Michigan) and didn't even play in the championship game. Most people knew they were the best team but they got left out.

2016 - This was the Ohio State getting in over Penn State year. To recap: Ohio State was 11-1 (with really good wins against Oklahoma, Nebraska, Michigan), but like the year before, didn't play in the title game due to a tie-breaker. This time to Penn State who at 11-2 got left out despite wins over Ohio State and Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. Ohio State got ran off the field by Clemson in the first playoff game.

2017 - Came down to Ohio State and Alabama, in my opinion the closest decision of them all, though not everyone saw it like that. Ohio State was 11-2, and like the year before, had 3 extremely good wins vs Penn State, Michigan State, and the Big Ten championship win over Wisconsin.

Alabama had 11-1 record, but didn't play in their conference championship game due to a tie-breaker (Alabama lost to Auburn, who despite some excitement, still finished the season with 4 losses.) Alabama's best win was vs LSU, who themselves finished with 4 losses, one of them against Troy.

I still think they got the benefit of the doubt because they're Alabama, but then again, they ended up winning the whole thing and I believe were favored in both playoff games, so clearly they were an outstanding team.

2018 - Ohio State is again right on the cusp. If Ohio State and Oklahoma both win, who gets in? Seems like Oklahoma was the better team most of the season, but how much are the Michigan game and Big Ten championship game weighted? What happens if Georgia beats Alabama.. do those two teams both make it to the playoffs again? Should be an interesting championship week... of course, from where the Buckeyes were sitting a few weeks ago, a Big Ten championship and top 5 finish sound pretty good.

No, we always enter that Sunday with nervousness

The Big Ten championship game being against Northwestern may hurt the Buckeyes. First we have to win, and it would still be a Big Ten championship but Northwestern does have four losses. Two of those are to Duke and Akron.

It just doesn't carry the same luster as it would if it were a signature win. Well I guess the Michigan game was the signature win.. I don't think that's enough to put Ohio State above Oklahoma though.

Yeah, I think we have to win it pretty convincingly (like we did to Wisconsin a few years ago)

He's always looking for an apology. I've never seen someone on the internet whose sensibilities are so easily offended. I think someoene's skin should have to be a little thicker before they are allowed internet access.

arch, for the record, I thought it was pretty obvious you were an Ohio State fan. I seem to recall you mentioning you were going to have some 65-70 people over, and maybe 6-7 were Michigan fans. It just seemed like you were trying to provide a good atmosphere for them and that carried over to the board here.

ahh well. Good win, I know most of us on here enjoyed it.

Even with their bad defense, Oklahoma’s only loss is to a top-ranked Texas team, which was a close loss and they can get revenge on a neutral field. OSU can’t jump Oklahoma with that stinky Purdue loss. Even as someone who would want OSU in over Oklahoma, I couldn’t do it. Texas HAS to win for OSU to get the 4th spot (and a Bama win + OSU win).

If Bama loses, Oklahoma and OSU stay at home.

This is the first true year I’d want six teams in the playoff.

I agree. Bama is in no matter

We need Georgia and OU to lose to get in... if either win I don't think we get in...

So Oklahoma plays at 12 and OSU plays at 8 ... that tells me that the NCAA thinks we might be in a "win and in" scenario, and not Oklahoma

Something tells me those time slots were determined weeks ago. Maybe months ago.

It's difficult to believe the "powers that be", would suddenly make the decision to put #5 vs #9 on at noon and #6 vs #21 on in primetime, if they were considering the more compelling game to watch and draw viewers.

I think the Big Ten should put the best two teams forward, regardless of division. Which would make the evening game very compelling. OSU vs Michigan, instead of a 4 loss Northwestern team.

It's interesting to see both models in play with the Big 12 and Big Ten. There are pros and cons to both approaches.

There's a rematch of the Red River Shootout between Texas and Oklahoma, though the first one happened earlier in the year.

Michigan will watch the Big Ten championship from home. I do agree that OSU/Michigan would be the better game, but allowing that would also take off some of the luster of 'The Game'. And if that game would continued to be played last on the schedule, and you basically scrapped the division setup, it wouldn't be that uncommon to see those teams play in back to back weeks.

Also keep in mind that Northwestern is 8-1 in conference play, and that is what matters here until the late stages of tie-breakers. Michigan does have the head to head win over Northwestern, but since there would be a 3-way tie between OSU/Michigan/NW, there's a chance NW would get in anyway.

I didn't figure all that out-- it's purely hypothetical anyway, just a few more things to consider.

it also kinda hurts us that OU's one loss was to Texas ... and now they can avenge that loss

Not if they lose again

Defense isn't what's going to rule the day.
