I’ll bet TN isn’t thrilled with a night game at OSU. I can’t stand OSU but hate the SEC more. Go OSU!!

Mizzou holds on to beat Kansas and Tamar Bates gets 29 points.

So cold might not matter to a great extent but hopefully it is dry.

IU will forever be the answer to a trivia question…. Name the two opponents in the first ever 12 team CFB Playoff.

8:00 PM in South Bend. Could be a very chilly game. Who does that help/hurt ?

And he keeps babbling about their strength of schedule but two of their three losses were against crappy teams. Their LOSSES, not just the schedule, need to be emphasis more by the commentators (thankfully the committee didn’t listen to ESPN and decided to keep Bama out).

5th and they are hosting Clemson

I enjoyed one of the commentators stating that OSU lost to a “very good Michigan” team. Wait a minute……Isn’t that the same “terrible Michigan team” that IU beat ?

I’m so sick of the SEC blathering. Man, I hope they all lose their first game. I will be watching all the SEC playoff games primarily to hopefully see them lose.

Enjoyed the the emphasis on how bad that Bama near the end of season loss was.

The ESPN boxed summaries of each team lists key wins. They should also show the key losses but that would hurt some narratives.

Are they going to torture us for 20 minutes before revealing the teams ?

I would prefer: 1) ND 2) TX 3) OSU In any case, we were picked to finish 17th in the BT and are going to the playoffs!! Mind blown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bama vs SMU. Who should get in the playoff ? HELLO, the NCAA only has ONE mandate and that mandate is $$$$$$$$$. They have an insatiable desire for more $$$$$$$$$$ and the Bama/brand name/SEC TV ratings/matchups are why Bama will get in instead of SMU. It’s really not that hard to figure out.

These a-holes always conveniently neglect to mention the Alabama losses. They lost to Vandy and Oklahoma which is like losing to Washington and Nebraska. Why the F isn’t that brought up? If Bama was wearing an IU jersey, with the same results, they would be in the “others getting votes” category.

I’m not celebrating an IU mid-major win. I’m not saying Woody is the guy. My only point is that we would not be happy with a 2 point win against Iowa at home. That’s IT. That’s the only point I was making.

Maybe not celebrating but your own quote seems pretty close to that “Michigan 2-0 in conference now. So glad we bought a team instead of getting dusty!” Again, and this seems to be a difficult concept to understand, but I’m NOT defending Woody but rather stating that we would not be happy with a 2 point home win against Iowa. Not sure why that is debatable/controversial.

So you are saying my first SIX sentences stating “not a defense of Woody” and “I prefer Dusty over Woody” weren’t clear enough???? LOL And PS…I agree we should have pulled the trigger at the end of last season.

I get that but, to my point, would you celebrate a 2 point win vs Iowa at home?

Not that this makes it right but…… In many games, especially against “name brand” teams, we complain about missed holds/missed PI’s etc, but to be fair those missed calls seem to be common in every game I’ve watched today.

All I am sure about is that I think the NCAA BLOWS but kudos to them for going to a twelve game playoff. The playoffs haven’t even started and I have paid attention to at least a dozen games, because of the expanded playoff, that I wouldn’t have watched in the past. Let go Hoosiers. No teams look invincible. I hope we kick some @$$!!!!

This is not a defense of Woody This is not a defense of Woody This is not a defense of Woody I would prefer Dusty over Woody I would prefer Dusty over Woody I would prefer Dusty over WoodyI but…..UM beat Iowa at home by 2 and Dusty is being “crowned”. If IU won by two at home against Iowa the panic button would be worn out.

To this point in the game neither Texas or Georgia are blowing me away.

I don’t want to go to GA but going back to OSU wouldn’t be a party either. Is there a path to us playing at ND ?

That is the medical policy. I remember a few years ago when Coach K famously put in Joey Baker for a few minutes in the 24th or so game of the year and it completely burned the kids year of eligibility. In the post game presser Coach K acted as though he didn’t know the rule.
