And TN back ks out of deal with Schiano

[Otis Nice]

Theu are gonna create all this uproar, prevent Schiano from becoming the coach, and end up with Hoke as their fulltime coach

 

And TN back ks out of deal with Schiano

 

TN

[LJ]

Tennessee fans are delusional. They think that Schiano isn't worthy, yet have no idea that he took a team that had 0 wins in 1999 to 11 wins in 2006. They deserve their Hoke

[2 Sweet]

Tennessee lol

 

I'm OK with Mullen at Florida. Honestly I'm surprised he wanted to go there. Never thought it would happen. I wanted Frost but I think Mullen will do well. Better hire than Chip Kelly IMO

[Lauren]

Rumors Jimbo fisher is A&M coach and its a done deal and then one report saying its false. That would be a very surprising move if so.

 

Also Ole Miss making Matt Luke the coach for good is a good move for them.

We all saw last year that the committee doesn't value conference championships when the buckeyes got in. Who knows what this panel will do.

 

False - OSU had quality wins.

 

Bama has 11 Mercers.....

Agreed. Alabama’s resume this year looks nothing like OSU’s last year.

[BStowers023]

Alabama's best win this year will be a 15ish 3 loss LSU team while 2016 Ohio State had 3 top 10 wins. Ohio State went 11-1 last year, Alabama 10-1 (because beating Mercer can't count)

[Jeffrey]

Not that it matters because it was a game Ohio State should have won, but their worse loss came a week after beating a very tough Penn State team in a game that went down to the wire. Bamas loss came a week after beating Mercer...

If it comes down to Bama Vs. OSU in the committee eyes, I'm sorry to say boys, but we're not getting in. Nor should we. Getting pounded by 30 points at the hands of an unranked squad should be the death knell for ANY teams playoff hopes. The comforting thought is that we may end up with the opportunity to curb stomp ND in a bowl game, and that is a nice little consolation prize.

This, all of this!! I'd love to see OSU vs. ND in a bowl game.

[caseyctsv]

I hope they keep both OSU (bad loss) and Bama our (terrible schedule). In Bama’s case what is the incentive to schedule tough teams if they let those dudes in.

[RedRocket1647545505]

Yup. I'm perfectly fine with both OSU and Bama being left out. Though, I guess that means I should be cheering for Whisky this Saturday.

[Lauren]

I've never been more of a fan on OSU and TCU then tbjd weekend

You should be cheering for Wisconsin you dummy.

 

If OSU wins, they are in. I don't care what anyone says. They would be the Conf Champ in the toughest conference in college football on top of having a tougher schedule and quality wins.

[BStowers023]

If Oklahoma and Ohio State win it's going to be extremely close on who they choose between the Buckeyes and Alabama. It's impossible to predict what the committee is going to do so we're all just guessing at this point. The only thing Alabama will have over OSU is less wins. Ohio State's resume other than that will be better across the board though. We will be conference champs, have better wins, better SOS. It will come down to, will the committee put Alabama in simply for being Alabama? If TCU beats Oklahoma, that opens up the door for both teams to get in.

[Lauren]

Bama has wins over six bowl teams

OSU has wins over 5 and two bad losses.

 

B1g is not the hardest conference is football.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

B1G is not the hardest conference in football.

 

Which one is?

[BStowers023]

Bama has wins over six bowl teams

OSU has wins over 5 and two bad losses.

 

B1g is not the hardest conference is football.

 

Your best wins are against 3 loss LSU and 4 loss Miss State. I don't care about how many 6 win teams you beat. After this weekend Alabama will have played 11 FBS schools while OSU will have played 13.

If the B1G isn't the hardest conference in college this year, who is? Pac-12?

:lolguy:

[Wease]

So what has to happen for OSU to get in? Not that I think they should or will, but I'd be interested in hearing opinions on how this weekend needs to go... :nod:

[Lauren]

Buckeyes have to win and TCU has to win.

 

If that happens then I bet you see bama and buckets make final four.

 

If if buckeyes win and Oklahoma wins then bama will get the four seed.

 

Of course this is assuming Clemson and auburn win. If Miami wins I think the final four is a crap shoot for anybody

It's just hard for me to see a real legitimate argument for Alabama outside of them simply saying "it's Alabama."

JT had scope surgery on his knee Sunday. He's expected to play though. Damnit, was hoping Haskins would play...
