Yeah, probably true. I’m as sick of the SEC bias and narrative as anyone. But we had a chance to change that narrative and did nothing but feed it. We deserved to be in the playoff for sure. Just seems like a lot of us are leaning on a very misleading final score and having a hard time accepting what that game was. We chatted a lot of $hit, didn’t back it up, and we’re getting crushed for it. We should wear it. 

Meh, who cares. Sure, we didn’t play well. But outside of the 98 yard run, our defense made Notre Dame earn everything. Our offense couldn’t do anything, but it’s not like they were scoring touchdowns left and right. 

Regardless, I mean Alabama scored 3 points and gain 234 yards against a crappy Oklahoma team a month ago and the SEC stans are acting like it’s some big injustice that they were left out of the playoff. We have a similar game for the first 55 minutes against Notre Dame and they’re acting like it’s the end of the year. If Tennessee keeps getting throttled like they have been so far will any of the SEC folks keep the same energy they’ve had about IU? Of course not. I just don’t care what any of them have to say. They’re dishonest hacks.

Actually kind of astonishing they have that many fans there.

Because of the road team demand you would think the Stubhub prices would have been high but they were cheap which means a TON of OSU fans were selling. Surprising.

Overconfident in an OSU win and planning on attending the next game, probably.

Although that confidence is looking justified so far.

OSU is better 

[go iu bb]

I'm not sure Tennessee deserves to be in the CFP based on how they're playing so far.  They're on pace to get blown out worse than IU at OSU. The game that supposedly showed that IU didn't belong.

I’m thinking the SEC should have had one team in the playoff.

[Magnanimous]

When it’s all said and done, we’ll likely have played the closest game of the first round road teams. 

[southsidehoosier]

Wonder if Herbstreit talks about Tennessee not belonging like he did IU

[Hoosierfan1901]

Tennessee should have been left out, am I doing this right?

[cbp4iu]

My goodness Tennessee is terrible

[Hoosierfan1901]

Yeah that’s a PI on OSU

No disagreements here. D played admirably. And again, I loathe the SEC bias. I unfortunately have to live in it. 
 

Related…they keep saying there are 40K vol fans there but haven’t seen a single camera angle that makes me think there is more that…10K? 15K?

I’m rooting for the Buckeyes, down with the SEC!

One side of the stadium is completely OSU and the other is majority, but admittedly a lot of orange, OSU.

No way there are 40k TN fans there. 10,15,20 (impressive ) but not 40k.

[Hoosierfan1901]

That’s close

It was but figured it would go the way as called on the field.

As mentioned it was also very clear PI but that can’t be reviewed. In these games I can’t believe how much grabbing, early hits, etc are being allowed this year.

Here comes Tennessee

Ohio State almost 300 yards in the first half.  We need to do something about letting these lame SEC teams in the playoffs.
