Kdug Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 10 minutes ago, 5 championships said: You can make a legit argument Ohio state is better not so sure about Penn state There’s not really an argument for OSU. OSU would be favored by 8 or 9 points and PSU would be favored by probably the same as Texas on a neutral field. OSU would be favored vs everyone in the playoffs except Michigan, same with Georgia. Georgia might even be slight favorites vs Michigan. None of that should matter though or there’s no point in playing the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree with that…If I was betting I’d take Texas over Ohio and I’d take Washington over Penn state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as someone who bets on college football and basketball, I’m confident that both big ten teams would be favored in those matchups by the books. Edit: and my original comment referencing Texas was saying PSU would probably be favored vs Washington by a similar amount as Texas is currently favored vs Washington. Just realized that wasn’t very clear. Edited December 3, 2023 by Kdug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 how friggin great would this be? I wouldn't mind a stipulation put in, "you can't play someone in round 1, if you have played them in the regular season".... Maybe just switch PSU and Ole Miss. But lord that looks like a lot of fun. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Looking at the bowl schedule I see 6 BIG/SEC matchups. It won’t happen but how sweet would it be if the BIG went 6-0?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets a bit tiring. I would actually turn the network back on if they just said hey we did a money grab. Trying to justify the decision is more sick than the actual decision. Just waiting for someone to point out this Bama needed a hail mary against a bad Auburn team just to get in. On a side note. Jordan Travis. What a kid. Seems to be handling better than the adults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Hoosier Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Is it just me or does there seem to be heavy recency bias in the CFP? Ohio State and Georgia each lose one close game at the end of the season to one of the top teams in the country but drop way down in the rankings. Alabamas loss was arguably worse than both of those teams and it happened at home. But they get a pass since it happened 10 weeks ago and not within the past week. Not to mention they’ve struggled against poor teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off of some helmet placing in the background? I mean did FSU get screwed I mean yeah I guess, but I think basing collusion off of helmets in the background is a bit of stretch.

Steubenhoosier Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 What if… Michigan loses to Bama Washington loses to Texas And, unlikely as it might be, FSU beats Georgia?

Steubenhoosier Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 If true, this is crazier than crazy Marvin Harrison Jr. has been offered NIL deals that would “compete” with what he would receive as a Top 5 draft pick, as in anywhere between $20-$25 million in total cash. Harrison is still thinking about coming back to Ohio State, as he wants to beat Michigan and win a Big Ten Championship.
