So to summarize: It is now past possible and has evolved into damned likely that on December 6th the undefeated #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will be playing the undefeated #2 ranked Indiana Hoosiers at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship and the #1 seed in the College Football Playoffs. 
Uhhhhh…..I don’t even know what to say. 

Reminds me of that time undefeated OSU and Michigan played their annual game ranked 1 and 2

No chance we’re losing a home game or at Puredoo after a bye. At Maryland and PSU will still be tricky.

OSU still has a tough one at Michigan.

And watching ESPN spend the entire week before trying to talk around and somehow downplay that game will be hysterical.

I agree they both have losable games, no doubt. Maryland is concerning for sure. But they’ve both got the match on their rackets. Astonishing that this is where we are.

Honestly I think we are more likely to go 12-0. OSU has the hardest game left.  
 

Im curious if by the time we play Penn State if some of the NFL talent is sitting out 

[cthomas]

We will win every game left on our schedule if we play the way we are capable of playing. This is where Cignetti has to work his magic. Plenty of challenges left on the schedule and we are a marquee game for everyone now. We can laugh at Purdue all we want, but our game with them will be their Super Bowl. They have ruined our season more than once over the years. No self imposed limitations! Let's go win it all.

Ruhle’s boys doing their best to make sure PSU thinks twice about hiring their HC.  lol

Honestly, I think UCLA is gonna be the toughest game this season.  The team is getting the momentum at the right time.  Penn State may have to settle for an interim guy for the rest of the season as nobody's just going to come in midway through the year and try and take Franklin's boys just to go to the Pinstripe Bowl.

Or he was so busy with NHO he didn’t have time to get them prepped

Hoo Hoo Hoo is #2?

Memo to whomever makes the Nebraska uniform decisions: if you’re gonna do the breast cancer awareness unis, good for y’all, go for it. But do it or don’t. Don’t have some of it pink and some of it red. It looks ridiculous.

There’s a game to be played.  No getting ahead of ourselves.  Coach won’t allow it.  :)

Would Penn State really hire Matt Rhule after Nebraska looked so bad last night?  And for the duration of Rhule's rule at Nebraska?  They need to look at Alex Golesh before Florida fires Billy Napier.  Or dare I say Dan Mullen?

Between Rhule’s performance last night and Cig’s extension, this is how Penn State’s coaching search is looking so far…

Carson Beck's 4 INTs against Louisville has to knock him down a peg in the Heisman conversation. 

#Heismendoza is inevitable.

CFB media has always talked Beck up as a Guy. At some point someone needs to explain that. If you’re talking about him in comparison to the best QB’s in the B1G when would his name even start coming up? Maybe 4 or 5? 

[Demo]

Wow, McAfee just called out Saban after he picked LSU. “Have you ever picked Vandy?” Saban was literally stuck. Took probably 15 seconds to formulate an answer and admit that he can’t get his mind around the fact that they’re good. That was hysterical.

To me, Beck has always been a slightly above average QB that plays with a ton of talent to support him. At IU or OSU he would be good. At bottom dwellers like Purdue and Penn State...struggle bus

That seems exactly right. He’s as good as his team. Doesn’t elevate anyone.

They will look for any excuse to give it to Simpson. Ever since last year with Notre Dame in the CFP era the narrative is bad losses don’t exist for certain teams
