buddha Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 i do not want an osu rematch. osu's resume is weak af. bama's isnt great but they lost close games to good teams on the road. osu didnt "blow out" penn state. they got a late turnover score to make a close game look like a beat down. and i dont really rate penn state either. who did penn state beat? auburn? lol. usc is the team that got screwed because williams got hurt. yeah, they gave up 40+ to utah with some late scores, but so did osu to michigan....AT HOME. it is completely unfair that osu backed into this because usc was forced to play another game. but that's the way it is. bama has no shot at the top 4. they lost twice and never looked good against multiple teams. tcu played a tougher schedule (on paper) and looked better against texas than bama did.

Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 4 Super Conferences with either 16 or 20 teams. Each Super Conference has two divisions. Your Division Winners are your playoff teams. Done. Group of 5 has their own playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I hate the argument that this dude on ESPN just said "If Bama was to face TCU who would you pick?" even if you choose Bama I don't think that matters or atleast history suggests that it doesn't matter. Most would've taken OSU or even ND in a game over Cincy last year for example yet that didn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with USC is the defense doesn’t pass the eye test. The chair has mentioned this has been an issue with the committee in past Tuesday shows. USC would statistically be the worst defense to ever make the playoffs if they got in as well as being the first 2 loss team. Oh and let’s not leave out they play in the PAC-12. Never going to happen. They were unlucky Caleb got hurt but that’s life. Regarding OSU, the committee doesn’t care about how close a win is against a top team. They have talked about that before. They view that PSU win as all positive and no mark down for Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just start playing your best ball late and earn a spot because you are suddenly playing like a top 4 team. That is one of the nice things about a 12 team playoff though. This exact situation could happen. Edited December 4, 2022 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Moments away from knowing the top 4 and order. Barring a big surprise, expected to be Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Ohio St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first he just asked if the rematched played any possibility and the Chairmen gave the stock answer of no so Rece followed with something like "So you mean to tell me nobody in that room during the discussions brought up the fact that maybe we should avoid a rematch?" The guy again then repeated his same stock answer then finally he did the thing I said earlier that I hate and said something like "So if OSU played TCU you don't think that they would be favored to win?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleterious Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Not a single game worth watching. Georgia beats Ohio by double digits, Michigan does the same to tcu and Georgia does it to Michigan. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I give Ohio State a boxer’s chance against Georgia. They’re not as bad as Michigan made them look. I think Michigan should handle TCU, but it will be in typical Michigan style, with TCU ahead at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. When asked why OSU and not Bama the Chairman brought up OSU's wins against PSU and ND as better than anything Bama did and he seemed to downplay OSU's loss to UM citing that it was only a 1 score game in the 4th so wasn't as bad as the final score indicated.

I'm guessing they will be -110/-115 to win it all. Usually with four teams everyone has positive odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with him there. It was a decisive win by Michigan on the road. But 22 points? I think that does overstate the margin between the two. Felt more like a 2-score game. Michigan was outplayed in the 1st half and trailed by a FG going into the break. Asserted control from the outset of the 3rd quarter and as the 2nd half went on. But when it was 38-23 and OSU got a 1st down in the red zone with around 5 minutes to go, it was a 2-score game, I expected it to end as a 1-score game and in fact if a supreme being at that point in time had offered me a 1-point win on a missed extra point conversion I would have taken it! Games that feel like 22-point wins are Georgia's wins this year over Oregon, Tennessee and LSU, Georgia's win last year over Michigan, and Michigan's wins this year over Penn State and Michigan State.

Motor City Sonics Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I have a strong feeling its going to end up 1 - Georgia 2 - Michigan 3 - TCU 4 - Ohio State But you never know with this committee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it more as a "you went 1-11 and if you aren't ready to change everything about what you have been doing, pack your bags".... which is at least kind of fair.... they did go 1-11 and were an overtime away from 0-12. I'm curious to see how this experiment goes... I'll say 40% chance it ends in scandal and he's fired within 2-4 years, 30% chance he's moderately successful and jumps ship in 2-4 years to something better, 20% chance he's middling and overstays his welcome, jumping ship laterally in 2-4 years, 10% chance it's just an absolute disaster and he's out within a year or two. 0% chance he succeeds and stays at Colorado.
