2015 Buckeyes Football

[Rich]

For what it's worth, Sagarin has Alabama 5th in SOS, well ahead of each Big 10 team.

To your point, I'd argue that teams benefiting from playing in weaker conferences tends to balance out over time. Ask last year's National Champions about that. With that said, I will always believe if you win a Power 5 conference championship that you're a pretty damn good team, so I have no problem there. With that said, under my scenario Bama and the Big Ten champion would be locks and either OSU or the MSU/Iowa loser would have a great chance of getting in.

Well I guess we just have to disagree here. One of these days one of those really mediocre to bad teams from a shit division is going to win their title game in fluke fashion. UCLA made it to the Pac 12 title game a few years ago at like 6-6. The ACC Coastal division normally puts forth a pretty mediocre to crappy team. A couple of years ago 6-6 Georgia Tech almost won that title game (21-15). Looking at their record, that was a team that lost by TWENTY ONE points to Middle Tennessee, AT HOME.

Good teams can have a bad game and lose in the title game, even to bad teams. If we were talking about more than 8 playoff spots, I'd be ok with letting 6-6 Georgia Tech into the playoff, but I think it would be pretty shitty to allow a team like that slip through when there would be so many obviously better choices to take. Just my opinion, though.

Taken from fivethirtyeight:

I will take it. I have us at about a 5% chance of making it, and that's based on nothing scientific, just my take.

I like the 22% chance of making it. I do feel like we are a top 4 team, but I don't think it'll bounce our way this year (we won't make it).

I am proud of how we bounced back and absolutely crushed Michigan. That was special. I just don't see Alabama losing and all other permutations don't get us in, IMO.

Clemson losing could get us in...but our best chance is by far Bama losing. Problem is, the chances of Bama losing are slim to none.

Sucks. Bama better not win the damn title.

Bama booster with some connections I was talking to yesterday said UNC literally has zero shot at making playoff, even with win over Clemson.

I think the committee would love an excuse to get an actual money printing machine into the playoff. Sometimes life isn't fair, but in the case it benefits OSU.

Hoping for chaos Saturday.

Guess we're just gonna lose a great coordinator every year now. The Urban tree is growing.

Lots of good DC candidates out there, the empire will stand.

I hate ND almost as much as Alabama. We better win this game.

Adolphus Washington got busted for solicitation. Status for Fiesta Bowl is uncertain. Based on prior history, he sits out a few snaps and Meyer speaks post game about what a valuable lesson he learned. Frankly I don't care about a crime like this but an arrest is an arrest.

I'm also trying to figure out why a guy at a University that employs a squad of young coeds specifically to entertain football players would have this issue...

Tressel lost Dantonio, Snyder, Beckman and Mel Tucker within a few years of each other. Not all were DC and not all went on to be HC, but the defense was still good after all of them left.

A lot of knuckleheads on this team, apparently.

Fucking misdemeanor? that's a mandatory ten year prison sentence here..

How is pimping out vulnerable girls and profiting off them sucking dirty old dicks the equivalent to stealing a sweatshirt??

I'd imagine he doesn't have to put in much work to bang some bad bitches on campus. This prostitute better have been hot as fuck. Otherwise that's just some lazy as shit. Enlighten me on how this process works @David.
