Cackle...
We resemble that remark
OSU should be disqualified from any consideration for a playoff spot on the basis of their one loss to Purdue High School. :-P
I meant “not going to lose”
No, more likely to be disqualified because he tried to help someone save a marriage years ago.
That is not a recipe for success in college football. It's amazing that this pattern has continued for nearly 40 years with the Georgia football team.
Uh ... whut?
Disagree. A close loss by Alabama keeps them in the hunt. Oklahoma nor Ohio State would be more deserving. Just facts. If Georgia loses then an equal result between Ohio State and Oklahoma should put Oklahoma in the playoffs.
You think OU or OSU could beat Georgia?
FYI, the SEC has 4 teams in the top ten for a reason.
Look at all the SEC national champions over the last 15 years or so.
What team or conference do you support? When did they last win a national championship?
And wtf are YOU smoking?
BTW, I am a disjointed PSU fan that hates the direction of PSU football and will never get over the Sugar Bowl PSU vs Alabama.
Enjoy the big game. I know I will. #RollTide
The Ohio State coach was suspended at the beginning of the season because Zack Smith’s wife may have told Urban Meyer’s wife that Zach had been mean to her years ago.
Remember, it’s the seriousness of the charge, not the proof thereof, that counts. So Ohio State should be excluded from the national championship because of third hand hearsay.
Accusations of abuse being, of course, not uncommon in messy divorce cases where one side is trying to gain financial advantage. Sometimes, they are even true.
Does that explain why Ohio State lost to Purdue High School by 29 points in the eighth week of the season? :-)
Well, Penn State did win the National Championship against Dawgs in the Sugar Bowl. Back in the old days when they could match up the two best teams in the country.
How does a team that loses to Purdue High School by 29 points get to play for a national championship under any circumstances?
Sure. Meyer was back at the helm. Players lost their motivation.
As a Gator.....Roll Tide! The evil leghumpers must be stopped.
Back in those days, conference champions received automatic bids to the major bowl games: the Southeastern Conference champion to the Sugar Bowl, the Big 8 champion to the Orange Bowl, and the Southwest Conference champion to the Cotton Bowl. The Big 10 and Pac-10 champions played in the Rose Bowl.
With that arrangement in place, an independent team always had the ability to see the rankings at the end of the season and then accept a bid to play the highest-ranked team in one of the major bowls (except the Rose Bowl, of course). So if Nebraska ended the season ranked #1 and Miami was #2 (or vice versa), then Miami would accept a bid to the Orange Bowl to ensure that they were playing for the national championship.
This also explains why there were so few Big 10 or Pac-10 national champions from that era. Since those conference champions had to play each other in the Rose Bowl no matter how good or bad the opponent was, they never had the opportunity to "force" a matchup against a #1 or #2 team. This cost Penn State a national title in 1994, when they finished the season undefeated and ranked #2 but were forced to play #12 Oregon in the Rose Bowl while #1 Nebraska and #3 Miami matched up in the Orange Bowl.
My boy is a freshman at Georgia Tech. THWG!!
And who is going to replace Paul Johnson????
Bama is in, win or lose
