The Polls (AP, Coaches, & CFP, etc.)

[LordJeffBuck]

Ohio State finishes #3 in the AP Poll.

Between 1936 and 2011, Ohio State had never finished #3 in the AP Poll, despite having 22 top-5 finishes (four #1; seven #2; six #4; five #5).

Now Ohio State has finished #3 three times in the past eight seasons (2012; 2018; 2019).

Wouldn't know. Didn't watch it.

Not did I for the most part, but they earned it. Silly posts suggesting that Disney aided their title are...silly.

So, if a certain 4 letter network put tOSU as number 1 in their FPI poll (and the team that won a title last night at #3)?

Colossal horseshit. Fuck E!SECACCSPN.

Disney aided their (Disney's) titles, because they fucked the Buckeyes right out of the picture. LSU, Clemson, no matter. Both are Mouse programs.

Fucking wikilluminati are everywhere man!

Forgot all about those guys.
Just bitch up and deal with it!

And anybody that doesn't think $ influenced the seeding and the decisions made at the S-E-C office in Birmingham must be the model that was used for Oh8ch's avatar.

We HAD our chance. We lost.

I don’t give a fuck about seedings. We couldn’t beat the team that couldn’t beat LSU. Disney doesn’t own that, we do.

I don’t give a fuck about seedings. We DIDN''t beat the team that couldn’t beat LSU. Disney doesn’t own that, we do.

FIFY

As you conveniently leave out the part about decisions affecting the outcome being made at the S-E-C office in Birmingham. Consciously or not, we all see things from a different perspective. With all the $ involved, and the S-E-C being in bed with sEcSPiN (as the B1G is in bed with Fox), bias does come into play. The only way not to see that is to go around as Oh8ch's avatar.

We got into the playoffs. We lost. Case closed.

We got into the playoffs. We lost. Case closed.

I couldn't disagree more strongly. I would like this case to be and stay open and for real change to come from the misjustice that was carried out.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

We got into the playoffs. We got fucked. Case closed.

I'm not gonna say we were fucked, but it's not exactly case closed, either. By almost every metric that you look at, our season was more impressive than LSU's. The only argument I would make for them would be that they had a better win than we did. But we played comparable schedules....and looked better doing it. We both had lethal offenses, but only one of us had an elite D to go with it. I think all of our non conference games were against teams who played for their conference championship. And we were sitting at 1 before the last game of the season. They beat a depleted Georgia, we were down big at halftime against arguably a better Wisconsin. That shouldn't have been enough to erase the entire season of us looking better than they did.

If we play Oklahoma first...even with an injured Fields, while LSU and Clemson beat the shit out of each other for 4 quarters.....I'd put pretty good money that we'd be the ones buying NC merch this week. I really would have liked to see an OSU-LSU matchup. I think we were the best team this season, and it took a lot of dumbfuckery....admittedly mostly on our part....to take that title away. That's not a "we didn't get it done, cased closed" kind of ending to me.

We lost to a team that didn’t come close to beating LSU. We had a chance. We had everything we needed with a spot in the playoffs. If we didn’t make it to the playoffs, I could see being bothered, but we did make it. And we lost. I’d agree that we didn’t play our best game. So what. We lost. And that dreaded conference again had the team that won. Oh well.
