Feel bad for A&M. Ohio State has no business being in this.

And let me be clear about something else I would go off on if I was Jimbo.

Does anyone doubt that if the roles were reversed, Alabama would be in?

If Alabama was sitting at 9-1. And A&M was the 11-0 SEC champ, Alabama would be in with its only loss being to A&M.

No doubt in my mind.

If anyone other than tOSU and Notre Dame were in the conversation, A&M is in.

So that means Notre Dame versus Alabama in one semifinal? Thats going to be ugly.

Clemson vs tOSU in the Sugar
Bama vs Notre Dame in the Game Formerly Known as the Rose Bowl.

The Bama semifinal was going to be ugly no matter who was ranked fourth.

After listening to the head of the committee, it’s official, bring back the BCS to decide the playoff teams.

I don't get how Ohio State is in when they played 6 games and the toughest tests were Indiana and Northwestern. And they didn't even look good in those games

Exactly there has never been a one loss SEC team not make it. And in a year where they played a 10 game SEC schedule that is ridiculous.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Why is the G5 forced to be involved in a system that they don’t actually have a chance of competing in? They either need their own playoff, or the current playoff format needs to be expanded from 4 teams to 6 or 8.

It’s mind blowing. Just saying that their 2 toughest games are Indiana and Northwestern is enough to laugh at.

 

[jaybird_1981]

Letting OSU in with a 6-0 record sets a bad precedent. I dont understand why anyone would schedule difficult OOC games that you could lose going forward.

 

[C/O]

Big 10 also just announced they are dropping the days required for Covid quarantine. Just in time to get almost of OSUs players back for the semifinal game. That conference has changed the rules so much this year it’s a farce.

They aren't forced into it. They could start their own playoff tomorrow. They'd just sacrifice a ton of money.

 

[zooguy]

So, OSU gets in because their conference changes the rules just for them, basically cheating for them. sounds like 2020.

What a crock.

True. I just think something needs to change, I find it extremely unfair. They can’t lose the big dollars, but they can’t compete either.

Want to make a good play off here is what you do.

#1 seed Clemson.
#2 seed Texas A&M.
#3 seed. ND.
#4 seed Ohio State.
#5 seed. Oklahoma
#6 seed. Georgia.
#7 seed. Iowa State.
#8 seed. Cincinnati.
Of course Alabama isn't in , that's because I don't want them in it. Let them go find their own bowl game.

You can whine and cry about some team you might hate for whatever reason, probably jealousy... but the reality is 6-0 OSU is in....deal with it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I just would like to see what's right and put myself in someone else's shoes.

I am happy I am not an A&M fan today, because I'd be livid. Since my dog is not in the hunt, I don't care.

But, I recognize that it could have been my school and have empathy about the situation.

Bingo this doesn't effect either fanbase today but a 1 loss SEC team just missed the playoff that is a problem for every SEC team not named Bama.

 

[omghulkhands]

Ohio State shouldn’t have qualified. That’s really all there is to it.

Fans and conferences should revolt to force meaningful change.

 

[Jaws]

Florida Oklahoma in Cotton. Interesting.

We know Pitts won’t play, already announced. I wonder about Trask, Toney and Grimes playing?

Get ready for another 52-46 game I’m thinking.
