I hope Alabama comes out flat and complacent and Florida comes out pissed and disrespected and shocks the world. BStowers - all of those are solid picks. LJ - I agree, MSU dismantling Iowa helps Ohio State.

I think Ohio State destroys Mich State in a rematch in a neutral site and good weather. I think an Ohio State - Oklahoma match would be epic. (And remember there's already an early season "rematch" next year.) I think a Bama - Ohio State rematch would get fantastic ratings and be a great game. Henry is a monster, but so is our defensive line.

I think the committee DEFINITELY wants an excuse to put Ohio State in the playoff. You have Osborne and Alvarez who, I think, would lobby hard for 2 B10 teams and the strength of the conference this year. I can also hear them saying something like, "And I think there is something to be said about a returning champ having a shot at defending their title." Maybe just wishful thinking on my part. But the committee is definitely a political process/entity.

What do you think about him staying there? I agree - he could basically had his pick of just about any job. Think he might be waiting for a bigger fish to come along? Texas maybe? I'm genuinely curious about it. And I don't disagree with him staying at Houston for another year.

at WHY?!

He said it was a follow up rant, so I am assuming it was one that happened after the one you posted. Then again, I didn't think a one-loss B12 team had a prayer to get into the playoff, so what the hell do I know.

Link or cliffs?

No, I've been very vocal in saying that OSU has looked fairly mediocre to terrible all year. It's weird to say this about an 11-1 team (or whatever we are), but they have been fairly disappointing all season long. They have looked cumbersome at best on offense, and, at worst, completely lost, like they did against Michigan State. The QB thing to begin the year was a mess, and I blame that on Meyer. The playcalling has been a combination of a snoozefest and some pathetic attempt to make sure certain players (like Braxton) get a certain amount of targets just for the sake of targeting them, which I blame on Tim Beck and also on Meyer. The defense has played great for the most part and - I agree - is the reason why they won as many games as they did. However, the offense has never really looked in sync, and it's shown. This team had so much promise on paper, and that never panned out. I guess that's why they bother to play the games and not just decide who wins and loses based on stat sheets, returning starters, and NFL potential. I'm an Ohio State homer through and through. But this Ohio State team has looked fairly bad for the vast majority of this season. Based on their last performance, I'm optimistic that they have turned the corner and will play with the same style, aggression, and passion that they showed to end last year's run. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll be able to showcase anything in the playoff, as I don't think they'll make the playoff. And that, quite frankly, is their fault. So, at this point, I am hoping that Ohio State plays the part of USC and just goes out to the Rose Bowl and absolutely waxes some Pac12 team. Hell, we might even get a chance to wax USC themselves out there this year.

ZACK HATES OHIO STATE AND THINKS THE '85 BEARS SUCK

I'm just being antagonistic. I'm sorry. I'll stop.

1. Ohio State should have absolutely dominated some teams they played earlier in the season, but didn't. According to your logic, all they needed to do was watch some game film, find the opponent's weaknesses, and then plan accordingly for a recipe for success. WOW SO KNOWLEDGE MANY OBVIOUS. Wait, what's this, you mean to say they didn't dominate those teams like they should have?!? Well, I wonder what could have been wrong? I mean, all they needed to do was see where the other team was weak and then attack those weaknesses, right? Serious questions; please answer. 2. When you're running back runs for over 200 yards, you typically don't need to pass all that much. And if Elliot ran for over 200 yards on either Iowa and Alabama, I like our chances of winning regardless of Barrett's passing yards. I'd like to see the statistic on a team's winning percentage when the running back runs for over 200 yards. I bet it's a pretty big number. 3. They still aren't the '85 Bears, but we'll stay vigilant and let you know when they become them so you can give the team some credit.

So you're saying they underperformed against Michigan and looked pedestrian. Great - we'll alert you when they morph into the 85 Bears.

I've typically agreed with Cowherd over the years, and even those in the late 2000's when he was trashing Ohio State for getting smoked by the SEC and USC. I think he calls it pretty well. I agree with him here, too. Ohio State has clicked, and I like their chances against anyone right now. I could not say that at any other time this year.

Yeah a UNC at #6 or #7 would tell me the committee was poised to put them into the top 4 with a win over Clemson. Them at #10 puts them too far out of striking range, IMHO.

Ohio State at #6 is great for their chances. Stanford at #7 scares me. They need to lose to USC to avoid the conference championship leapfrog effect. And $100 bar tab sounds like a good start to a great night.

Bring her and her boobs along.

DJ, can call me and I will put you on speaker. Jive, game starts at 8pm. I would probably like to get there a little before that. I'm thinkng the BW3's in Dublin off Avery Murfield.

Would any of you bros be interested in getting together for a UNC Victory Watch Party at a BW3's on Saturday?

This is the problem with success - all Meyer's disciples find head coaching gigs of their own. You have to reload coaches like you do players.

While I'm going all kamikaze on this thread, here's something that's fucking fantastic: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/11/30/9821260/navy-helmets-uniforms-army-game-ships-boats-kaboom-2015

Milwakee wakee eggs and bakey

Here's my list: 1. Wisconsin 2. Florida 3. USC (who I would love if I didn't hate) 4. Notre Dame 5. Michigan 6. Penn State 7. South Carolina 8. Every other SEC team except Georgia, who I kind of like (because I feel sorry for them) The list is somewhat interchangable, depending on various factors (like how good or bad the team has been lately). Also, coming on strong and may find it's way on to most hated list: Baylor - because those fucking idiots are a bunch of whiny thugs Teams that I actually like/root for most of the time: 1. Oklahoma (and Bob Stoops, who gets shit on way too much for no reason) 2. Oregon 3. Clemson 4. UCLA 5. West Virginia

I'm guessing since you were driving back from the plie contest in Minnesota last Saturday you didn't catch the game, either: Alabama ran Henry about 864 times. In fact, I think he just got another carry. Seriously, you keep telling yourself Bama has a versatile offense.

Look at all this truth and intelligence in this post. Look at it, everyone. Look
