Ohio State is the worst possible matchup for us since they have the best defensive line in college football and our entire OL is in triage at this point

Houston also beat Vanderbilt 34-0 while Florida only beat them 9-7. You can say we didn't play any quality opponents but we beat 3 ranked teams in 4 weeks, won our conference and are looking to be even better next year. We play Oklahoma in the opener and I'm liking our chances at this point.

Iowa Football Hawks B.tch 12-1, undefeated regular season, 10-0/11-0/12-0 first time in school history. Go Iowa Awesome  Please send this team to the Rose. OSU is a loving 5 star magnet NFL factory, they'll be back next year and every year after with Urban. We get a crack at it a few times a century. Do the right dang thing

Big 12 schedule makers really hosed us (WVU) this year. Our 4 hardest games in a row, 3 of which are on the road, and then make us play on conference championship week so now all the good coaching options are snatched up and we're stuck with Holgo for another mediocre at best year. It's quite obvious at this point that, at least as a head coach, he's never going to develop the level of offense his reputation suggestion before his hire.

that nine minute drive by michigan state is why I still watch this stupid beautiful sport in a year where GT and Purdue combined for three FBS wins. That was game of the year far and away for me- just two really, really good teams beating hell out of each other until one barely won at the last second. Hoping MSU at least gets to the championship game and Iowa beats hell out of Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

My new totally wrong playoff team predictions (that's probably right this week) Week 4: Ohio State, Baylor, Ole Miss, UCLA/Utah Winner Week 5: Ohio State, Baylor, Alabama, Florida State Week 6: Baylor, Utah, Florida State, LSU Week 7: Baylor, Utah, Alabama, Florida State Week 8: Ohio State, Baylor, LSU, Clemson Week 9: Ohio State, Baylor, LSU, Clemson Week 10: Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma Week 11: Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, Notre Dame Week 12: Clemson, Alabama, Michigan State, Oklahoma Week 13: Clemson, Alabama, Michigan State, Oklahoma Michigan State will probably jump Oklahoma, and possible Alabama as well, with their win. And I expect Stanford to be in the 5 spot as the first team out. If they jump Stanford to 4 and knock out Oklahoma expect actual blood to be shed.

I'm an OSU fan but I felt really bad for Iowa and hope they get in the Rose Bowl instead of us. Losing in the conference championship in the last second shouldn't change you from being a playoff contender to not good enough to be in the Rose Bowl, at least not if it was that close of a loss.

As far as Iowa getting to the Rose Bowl I could see the committee going either way. Ohio State lost to Michigan State by 3 at home, Iowa lost by 3 at a neutral site. And that's the only loss for both of them. Northwestern is a better win than Michigan but only slightly, #14 in the CFP for Northwestern to #15 for Michigan. And for both of them that is their only ranked win (though that could change in the final ranking). If Iowa does get passed I bet it is because the committee agrees with Zeke and thinks if he had gotten the ball more Ohio State would have beaten Michigan State. And as far as "punished for losing in the championship game" I don't really agree with that, Iowa lucked out with the division schedule that they played two of the worst teams in the East division, so I think it is more valid to say that their ranking so far was a reward for not seeing Ohio State, Michigan State, or Michigan during the regular season and now that they actually saw Michigan State Sparty did the same thing to them they'd done to the other good teams. Swap Ohio State and Iowa's schedule/results and you have a 12-0 Ohio State losing by 3 to Sparty in the B1G Championship and an 11-1 Iowa sitting at home hoping to pass them. Neither Iowa or Ohio State to the Rose would surprise me.

Well you see Urban Meyer has never coached in a rose bowl in his four long years of being a big ten coach so he's really earned an opportunity to be there. He'll definitely never have this chance again. E: the east had three good teams and the rest of it was crap. Ohio State can't play themselves, and they lost to one of the other good teams aat home. Penn State is not a good team, I am so sick of hearing how we lucked out avoiding them. OSU didn't play Wisconsin, who is at least as good and probably better than PSU. Pitt was better than anyone they played in non-con too. MourningView fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Dec 6, 2015 |

I'm devastated but at the same time I recognize that game was a legendary Big 10 game. Losing a game like that is so much worse than getting blown out because you'll always have small moments you can point to afterward as the "if only this thing happened." That said Iowa needed the stop in that last drive and had 23 chances to get it. Good luck Sparty, I hope Iowa gets another championship with you next year.

Yet, he's turned my favorite program from a laughingstock into a playoff team. Sparty's win over Stanford in the Rose Bowl already felt to me like a major turning point in the transition to a lot of people (including me) viewing MSU as one of the major college football powers. That was even before this season and Sparty making the playoff.

It's very frustrating that such a fantastic defense is wasted by a godawful offense. UF only lost by 14 to eventual-national-champion-Alabama-Crimson-Tide with zero offensive prowess...I guess that's a positive? The withered husk of our o-line is the fault of one William Muschamp, and I will never forgive him for it. I'm looking forward to Mac cratering him over the next three years. SC goons better pray for a tiny buyout--don't get Weis'd!

Being completely incapable of bringing in a qb or coaching up any qb in his "anyone can learn it in a week" system sealed it for me on him. My problem is at least mediocre is winning, whereas coaching carousel will likely make us BFFs with kansas in the basement.

I was in the Atlanta airport last night for a while about an hour after the SEC championship game was over and I want to formally express my disappointment that there was not a single person there decked out in Bama gear for me to say "Roll Tide" to. I know nobody from the game would be there that quickly, but you'd think there would be some fans in transit or something given the location.

Alabama and Oklahoma are the 1st tier, Clemson and Michigan State are the 2nd. All of them are absolutely good enough to win it though (if I was going to guess Sparty would need luck than the others), it's not like last year where FSU was a dead team walking.

It's a little weird. For whatever reason, Saban is kinda poo poo in not-championship post-season games. His secondary also tends to do pretty badly against good WRs or good scrambling QBs. something Oklahoma and Clemson have both of, in large quantities. Dabo's team still seems really undisciplined, and his OL is good but not great, and Alabama's front seven is great. If they don't script a couple great series early on against a team like Alabama, they're not gonna have a good time. His defense is pretty good but kinda thing along the front line. I don't really watch Oklahoma on defense. Sparty's gonna lose bad So I guess, Clemson/Oklahoma, then Alabama, then Sparty
