OSU v UM Axed

[agcy68]

Just announced that tOSU and Michigan football game cancelled.

Looking forward to all the mental gymnastics from the national sports scene on how tOSU could/would/should be allowed into the CFP.

Boy I would LOVE to see tOSU excluded. It won't happen, but it sure would be great.

 

[mj4cy]

CFP will still take them I'm sure. However, sounds like there is a chance on the 19th that OSU could play Iowa.

 

[Gunnerclone]

This coupled with the Subway Shooting should go over well in CBus tonight.

Wisconsin losing last weekend makes it easier for the BIG to change the rules. No team on the team on the west would be affected.

Nebby fans gunna be irate when osu gets to schedule another game.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Doesn't seem too different from most years -- listening to reasons why OSU should be in or in extreme cases, how they can still possibly get in.

 

[KCClone1]

If I'm Indiana, I would prepare my nutcup. By the rules the conference set, they should be playing in the conference championship game. I guarantee the Big 10 will flip flop and let OSU in.

 

[Peter]

So right now it's Northwestern vs. Indian in the B1G championship, correct?

 

[JM4CY]

The only thing osu needed to do was play one game to get in the CFP.

I read that Maryland was the back up plan and Rutgers would take a bye.... LOL. Whatever they need to do to get that 6th win.

Herbie the Humble puffing out his chest as Rece the All-Knowing apologizes-- "Kirk, you were right, Michigan is dodging your all powerful Buckeyes. Shame on BigBlue. Dez- Your comments?"

Won or lose.

 

[JHUNSY]

Maybe it's just me, but I can't help but feel like it's bit of a misnomer when media members say Ohio State is "clearly a top-4 team."

Could they be? Sure, it's possible. They've got a lot of talent.

But I haven't seen anything from what they've done this year that would "clearly" put them above the rest in the chase.

 

[lionnusmb]

I wonder what will be the "Game Changer" this time.

 

[ca4cy]

The BiG will blink and let them in the championship game so they can piss pound NW. There's no way they're going to cut their own throats and stand by some arbitrary rule they set a couple months ago that would keep their flagship out of the CFP.

Besides, tOSU deserves it....the BiG has 10 teams with 2 wins. They've run a veritable gauntlet of quality football. Where else do you see such parity? Really, this whole debate of whether they belong in the CFP is silly. We should just hand them the 'ship and forgo all the formalities, because tOSU!

 

[cycloner29]

Big Ten......

 

[cycloneman003]

I mean... the Big 10 is absolutely going to either change the rules, or scrap someone else's game to get OSU a game this weekend, no? And ESPN/CFP will lap it up and get the Buckeyes in the playoffs. No standards in that league. Would love for them to surprise us for a change.

They should be irate!

Will we see Iowa vs OSU???
