THE Ohio State University 30 - Michigan 27 2 OT: Playoff Chaos???
ESPN ^ | November 26, 2016 | Me

Posted on 11/26/2016 1:08:26 PM PST by C19fan

Game lived up to the hype. Some thoughts:

Michigan gave up 14 points on turnovers.

Michigan's defense ran out of gas in the 4th quarter.

THE Ohio State University might actually prefer Penn State to beat Michigan State. Penn State will play in the Big 10 = 14 Conference game instead of THE Ohio State University. In this case, THE Ohio State University has punched their ticket the playoff.

Hated THE Ohio State University wearing the all black helmets.

If I’m not mistaken, the ball only has to touch the first down marker - not necessarily go over the line.

I think they have new helmets. They wore the black helmets last week too.

Don’t count on it. *ichigan has 43 seniors and will also likely loose some juniors to the NFL. On the other hand, OSU started the season dead last in the FBS in terms of returning experience and finished the regular season 11-1 with a team dominated by freshmen and sophomores. If Barret returns for his last season, they will roll again.

Forward progress on the line was all that was required. Barrett made the line from the replay. Home field advantage didn't matter today.

The youngest team in Div 5 football... Number 2 in the land... Give some of these first year Buckeye's a full year in the weight room under Coach Merotti, coupled with the incoming class of 17, and they will be the next dynasty in College Football - Bama will probably lose to OSU again given the loss of Jackson.

THE Ohio State University accepts your apology.

I will say, Woody Hayes would have loved Trump.

Woody was a lifelong conservative Republican.

BTW, Urban Meyer has a picture of Woody in his office. Meyer had the picture in his office even when he was coach at Florida.

Looking like Penn State is going to win the East.

The Ohio State running back did not brake the plane. Period.

You mean it ran off the runway. Didn't anyone teach him about thrust reversers?

Yep! I thought JT hit the line as well. And Harbaugh cries like a little baby. Urban is in his head. Kinda sucks to beat the #3 team and not make the conference championship. But I think they’ve more than punched their ticket to the big dance. 5 wins against top 10 teams this year should solidify the spot.

Represents the worst of what college football has become. Just a disgrace.

Oops meant to address post #44, dfwgator. Though that 4th down call against Michigan in OT was terrible as well

Correct call. Barrett hit the line before he got knocked backwards. Forward progress, first down.

Am I the only one who thinks that college games should simply end in a tie if the score is the same at the end of regulation?

I do. I don't think a team should be rewarded the same for an OT win as a regulation win.

I agree. He fell back but he had the ball beyond the projected first down line and yard marker just beyond it. When you watch the re-play in slow motion, when Barrett runs into the tight end who is blocking the defensive player, you'll see the stripe of ball appear momentarily so you can tell exactly where the ball is. The tip of the ball is above the yard line. The officials got it right.

Michigan, Ann Arbor and Hillary Clinton whine and cry about the results and facts on the ground.

Winner = Donald Trump = THE Ohio State University.
