I’m cheering for Michigan so hard today not because I’m afraid of OSU but because I Heismendoza to have no excuses to be screwed over and all those OSU tickets that were bought will flood the market

This is exactly what the B1G, and every other conference for that matter, want. Meaningful games being played on the final week of the regular season. 3 teams with conference championship games on the line. Remarkably happy for myself and all of you that we can sit back and watch with zero stress as we've already sharpied our spot. Personally, I'd prefer a UM win and Oregon loss.

The Texas narrative right now is pi$$ing me off to no end. “Oh, if they hadn’t had the ball$ to play OSU early they’d be in after A&M. So they really should be anyway and not penalized for it.” Stop it. If they hadn’t lost to a 3 win team with no HC and scored a late one so it didn’t look so bad and then gotten straight beat down by UGA they’d be in. Here’s my solution: if you lose 3 games, 25% of your schedule, you should be ineligible for the playoff. Period. No exceptions.  If you’ve lost 1/4 of your games you don’t get to pray that you get on a heater late and compete with teams who’ve made it happen all year. If they get in I don’t even know what to say.

The only upside is that if they let Texas in maybe they screw Notre Dame. Or more apt give Notre Dame what they deserve.  Their Marque win against Pitt and all

OSU absolutely gifted a TD on that touchback!

Got to say, if Kiffin takes the LSU gig while pushing to coach in the playoffs and Ole Miss tells him to F off and rolls with an interim they will immediately leap to 2nd in my personal rooting order. My loathing for Kiffin outstrips my loathing for the SEC.

Yea.  If Lane goes I think they will tell him to leave.  It’s an absurd conflict of interest and a poll of ADs 100% said you take another job you’re out.

The only people pushing the “let him coach” angle seem to be ESPN/GameDay — it appears Jimmy Sexton/CAA got to ‘em.  Which is pathetic on their part -- par for the course at this point really.

ESPN says Kiffin will take LSU gig. 

If that happens and I'm Ole Miss, I say: Pack up and get out. Absolutely no way I let him coach in the playoff
