I don’t know that they will be considered if they just squeak by either one. I feel like they would need to convince the committee that they are somehow a different team than what played on Iowa City. There is no way Ohio State should be considered for the playoff but..... I have a feeling if they win out they are in. Urban Meyer knows it too. If you have watched their games they have tried to run up the score the past 2 weeks. The committee loves Ohio State as history has shown. Edited November 20, 2017 by Gordio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama was staying there. The entire team and family members (including Katherine Webb the day before Brent Musburger made her famous) were hanging out in the lobby so we decided to hang out in the lobby. Everyone I passed by or otherwise encountered said "Roll Tide." I could not help but say it myself even though I am not an Alabama fan. It kind of rolls off your lips. I could not help myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I could - he knows how the game is played. I still don’t think the committee will let them in regardless. They remember their playoff performance from last year. And this Buckeye team is not better than that one. Edited November 20, 2017 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect him to run up the score against Big Blue this week & in the championship against Whisky if he has that opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Two of the biggest rivalries square off this Saturday. To me the biggest of them all is Michigan(TTUN) and tOSU, for my location and upbringing and attendance at 7 of them, all tOSU wins. The other, Auburn/Bama doesn't quite register as much, maybe 5 of them over the years have mattered, but a tip of the hat and I will be watching and special wishes for Kirby's enjoyment. Watch the Badgers furball their game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I was afraid that the Canes could lose this game against Pitt. During the game, Mark Richt (who I typically think is a great coach) pulled Rosier for a series. I joked to a friend that McCoach must have made that decision - it was that dumb. The back up could not complete a pass and we wasted a key possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for UGA. A 1 loss Alabama is the only real wild card left imo (assuming OU beats TCU). If they lose the iron bowl do they still get in? If Alabama wins in Auburn we are looking at: - SEC champ - ACC champ - Oklahoma - Big 10 champ If Alabama and/or OU loses all bets are off.

RaoulDuke79 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hurricanes were playing over their head all year. I think the over/under was 7 years this year. Just sucks the only loss had to come in the final game. Rosier isn't a good QB. He's made some miracle plays to pull out some games they should have lost, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's not the starter next year. If they beat Clemson ( which I doubt they will), they will probably be in the playoff. The team isn't there yet, but this was a damn good season and they are heading in the right direction 17 hours ago, Sweats said: I've been looking forward to Auburn vs. Bama for a couple of weeks now..........this game will NOT disappoint.

I think Richts intent in pulling him was to light a fire under Rosier, as he just seemed to be out of it. I think Perry has a good shot at starting next year.

YoloinOhio Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Bama needs Wisconsin or Oklahoma to lose in order to get in. Bama’s biggest issue now in the eyes of the committee is lack of quality wins. Their biggest win is LSU, who lost to Troy. Strength of schedule is ranked pretty low. But if it comes down to OSU vs Bama, Bama will get in (and should) even if OSU is conf champ. It would be like OSU vs PSU last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ohio State beats Wisconsin they absolutely should get in ahead of Alabama—much tougher schedule and far more quality wins. In fact, a 1-loss Wisconsin should get in ahead of Alabama. Alabama just played a game against Mercer, FFS. If all you’re going to do is give the playoff spots to the power 5 teams with the least number of losses, why do you need a committee?
