row_33 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 the other big rivalry is Bama/Auburn which has really mattered nationally no more than a handful of times since i started watching in 1973 Oklahoma/Nebraska was a great rivalry in the days of the Big Eight, we waited until Thanksgiving for this wishbone battle, the first time either met a team in the top 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Smoke building on this being Urban’s last home game (health reasons) and he’s waiting to announce until after CFP is off the table ... I don’t think anyone would be “shocked” if this happens but I still haven’t heard it from the right people to give it a ton of credibility.

You do make sense. If you read my post that you answered, I said that I don't understand OSU. Allow me to add that at this point, I fail to understand the entire Big 10. I am NOT talking smack to you, but as an Alabama Fan the truth is that I would welcome a playoff game against UCF. In fact, the team that I am the most concerned about is Georgia, followed by OSU. The reason for this is that from my point of view, Bama is NOT a defensive team this season. They appear to be a good defensive squad with a truly exceptional offense. UCF seems to have given up a lot of points to lower rated teams. OSU, while shaky at times, has proven that they can score. Georgia seems to be a very good and balanced team. Could UCF compete with these teams? I don't know but it is certainly possible. Would they do well against Alabama? Sorry but I cannot visualize them doing so, but I have no wish to fight with you about this. Peace, and GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really have no rooting interest in UCF as a team/school. They just happen to be the example of the unfair system. We won't play you but you can't be in because you didn't beat anybody but sure you're in the FBS. It's a joke. I like football and dig the college spirit but there is no point to having a championship when some teams have no control whatsoever over their own destiny. That, my friend, is simply not a championship; at least not for the unincluded. They should call it something other than the FBS championship. Champion of big guys?

Well, expanding the amount of playoff teams is a bad idea imo. Maybe if they do away with conference championships.....maybe. The teams that will play for the title this year will play 15 games.

Unless you are already counting Alabama as in the playoff (I btw do not), I am going to have to do my best Bill Lumberg and go ahead and disagree. 29-0 against 3rd ranked LSU was pretty good, especially in light of the points they scored on Saturday.

Willyville Guy Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Fitzgerald is a good coach, he'll have a good game plan, and he gets to tell his players all week that the whole world outside their own practice facility is not asking IF the Wildcats will lose but whether they will lose by 50. I'm confident the Bucks can roll if they play with the edge they showed last week (and only last week), but I'm concerned about the team taking anything for granted following an awesome game and celebration this past week.

I am terrified of this. Purdue and Iowa are still too raw. Only thing I take solace in is that post-Michigan the last two times we went to Indy, there was no let down. I just don’t know if I trust this team yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking for sympathy. This team has been unpredictable all year and have had a tendency to play to the level of their competition. Nothing against the Cats but they don’t carry the cache of some other big 10 teams and i worry that even subconsciously these players will not be as dialed in as they get vs the big boys. They are a 14 pt favorite last time i looked. In 2018 that has not been a great formula for them. I would rather they played a higher ranked team this week, because of who this team has been all year. It’s a real concern. For whatever reason it’s been hard to manufacture the juice when they face teams they don’t hate or feel threatened by in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma gave up 40 or more points 5 times ( including the last 4 games) and needed overtime to beat Army. Now, OSU had some strange games too, but they gave up 40 or more only twice. Imo, on paper these teams look somewhat similar but there is NO WAY that the Sooners play a schedule that comes close to comparing with that of OSU. I admit that I have often thought that OSU gets favoritism from the media because of their large fanbase. It doesn't seem that way this year. I don't understand the appeal of Oklahoma to the committee, the networks, or the advertisers. The way it looks to me, the playoffs are (or should be) still possible for OSU but not unless the Tide beats Georgia. I don't see this as a given as so many others do. I am looking for a win but I am not certain it will happen. Good luck to both of us!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
