Whoa, I hadn’t heard that conference title games are being removed. Where did you see that news? I had read a couple of articles about how the expanded playoff will work and neither one said anything about conference title games being removed.
No reason to ditch many decades of tradition just to accommodate a format that might not last five years. And if OSU vs UM gets played back to back every once in awhile, just embrace it as a bonus.
I don’t believe they are. Just that some leagues are going to abandon divisions and have the top two teams face each other, like the Big 12 now.
Interested to hear more on this?
Not much more to hear. OSU vs UM has ended the regular season for close to a century now. No reason to change that just because the B1G is going back to no divisions…and that format may not last long. Or it may, but it’s no reason to play The Game earlier in the regular season, where it would be in some danger of eventually becoming just another game.
With a possible 4 more games in the playoffs in an already 11 game season why would you want a conference championship? Go to one division like before to get as many teams into the tournament. Tradition? It was also tradition at one time the Game was not last, it was also tradition Mich was not even in the Big 10. Anyone thinks this is just temporary is nuts. TV money is driving this. More likely to add teams then ever go back.
Ah I thought you were saying the specific Playoff format won't last more than 5 years.
That’s was not me.
No one said it was? He quoted cjb lol what?
Then the committee would think you’re as stupid as we all do
As entertaining as it will be to see Ohio State get bullied again by Michigan, Georgia or Alabama, I’d rather see a well-coached, tough-minded, physical team like Utah get the nod. Especially since the Big Ten Conference simply wasn’t good enough this year to merit sending two of its teams into the CFP Lion’s Den.Then the committee would think you’re as stupid as we all do
One thing he’s right about is it would be good to see a peaking team like Utah in the playoffs. That’s not possible now, but the 12 team format will allow some late bloomers a chance to win a championship instead of being dead in the water before October.Then the committee would think you’re as stupid as we all do
It'll be extremely interesting to see how the Committee - assuming they'll still be in place - chooses the at-large selections for the 12-team field. Does a team who lost their QB and faltered down the stretch like Tennessee, lost their spot to a team like Washington or Florida State?
There will always be some controversy. Someone is always going to be the first team left out. Now it will be #13 instead of #5. Plus, you are going to see some left out Power 5 teams throw a fit anytime they get left out and a MAC, Sun Belt, CUSA, etc team slides into the 12.
Whittingham has been talking retirement and that’s the same DC of Utah that OSU torched in last year’s Rose Bowl. I really like Whittingham, though.
You mean the same Utah team that tOSU beat last year? You’re just stupid
It seems you must not have watched the Ohio State Michigan game, as Ohio State was not bullied by UM. Quite the contrary actually. The whole "Ohio State is soft mantra" is just a lazy take, made by people who don't know what they are watching. Call a better offensive game, and call a better defensive game, and Ohio State wins that game easily.
WTF are you talking about? Did you watch the game? Especially the second half?
That's my take .. The program is soft and if he didn't have Urban's boys he would've lost three in a row.
I was stone-cold sober and not willing to put up with the proletariat peanut gallery that habituates this forum.AEW with some quality drunk s*it posting last night
That’s even more embarrassing, then. Should just tell people you were drunk with all that nonsense you posted.
I posted nothing but the truth. For Big Ten Ohio State to be considered #4 in the country with one good win on their resume (Notre Dame) and a big pile of nothing beyond that is an absolute sham.
Penn State is a better win then SC had or TCU
