Game Thread Ohio State v Northwestern B1G Championship, @ Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN 12/1/18 8PM, FOX

[LovelandBuckeye]

82-9 (.901 winning percentage).

UFM only has a .901 winning percentage at Ohio State? Psshhhh! Ryan Day has a 1.000 winning percentage. UFM obviously needs to go...


...win more games for the Scarlet and Grey! What a crazy season. Beat TTUN and won the B1G. I'm good with it.

Financial interest angle is BS to me,

Ok

Let's see what happens today.

I feel otherwise and I don't think anyone is going to change anyone else's mind at this point.

This game dropped the Big Ten West to 0-5 in the championship game. And bless there hearts but NW wasn't a team worthy of a championship game yet finished 2 games ahead of every other team in that division.

and the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the 2014 team they gave a shot to?

I just don't quite buy the fact that the 2016 CFP game permanently scares off the committee while Oklahoma who has also been blown out in a CFP game and is 0-2 in their brief history there, is assumed to be the more reliable team and being given an inexplicable benefit of the doubt in '18.

It's a weak argument to mask the fact ESPN has a financial interest in the B12.

Completely forgot about this but you're right.

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. ND
4. OU

Is the most likely scenario
Other than scenario 2:

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. UGA
4. ND

And once again... THE B1G gets fucked

 

[Buckeneye]

Let's get this Rose Bowl thread started.

 

[Telekinesis]

Give me my Rose Bowl gear.

So, two ACC teams In the playoffs, teams that should have met in the ACC CG.

Stop the bull shit. If Notre Dame wants in the playoffs, let them play their way in like everyone else.

Next fall I will be rooting again for Michigan to beat the Irish as the best possible way to keep the Irish out of the playoffs.

We won a B1G championship, beat the shit out of the team up north, and are headed to Pasadena. Damn fine season. I am considering flying out to the Rose Bowl and catching my first one, should be a fun game against UW. I don't really agree with the committee did...but don't lose to an unranked opponent by almost 30 points and we are in. Nobody probably wants to hear that, but you can't just ignore it. But I'm not going to be bitter about this at all...11-1 season where we beat the team up north and won the B1G championship, going to the Rose Bowl. Hell yes. Go Bucks!

 

[OhioState001]

Release the other bowls. I'm much more interested in them than the playoffs

 

[Taosman]

We've been insulted by these "rankings' so let's go beat the shit out of the other team in the Rose Bowl!
It's the only answer.

I'm all for making the West as weak as possible. Because right now having a strong division is a handicap. Committee just told us conference games dont matter. We should instead stack the deck in our favor.

Look at every other conference. They are doing the exact same thing.

Hate to be the wet blanket, but I’m so disappointed our B2B Championships come without a crack at the National Title.

It’s absurd. Delaney needs to do something......stick up for the league.
