Wait…the PAC12 refs are in on it too?!?

Stuhoo. OSU didn’t win the game or get any gifted calls or non calls to impact the end of the game. That’s how it works. In theory.

 

Actually OSU complained of a targeting call that didn’t get called (or reviewed) that the announcers agreed was a targeting call that would have extended a drive with about 7 min left. Would the B1G refs have called or reviewed that? Could that have had an impact on the winner of the game. Subtle call or non call here or there can have an impact.

Then I’m confused…who’s in on it?

B1G wants it’s best team to make the college 4 team playoff.  The money is worth it to them.  Usually Ohio State is the best team in the B1G.  If the B1G and it’s refs can help it’s best team look impressive enough for the comittee to select it’s team to compete in the College Playoff, money is to be made. Ohio State appears to be the beneficiary of this thought process by being the best team in the B1G recently.  
 

Today OSU didn’t get as friendly as a whistle today as they may be accustomed too.  They lost.  Would B1G refs have made the difference?  That’s a question you can ask yourself.

Now the question in my mind, is with an early loss does some other B1G team become the conference darling or is OSU still its best College Playoff option?

It will be interesting if Penn St runs the table up to their game vs O$U which would include wins over Auburn and at iowa.

Really? Lol. Great stuff.

Why wouldn’t they get refs from another conference to do a inter-conference game? Does it make too much sense?

I thought they said it was a Big-12 Crew for the OSU/Oregon game?  Maybe I heard that wrong.

As long as Iowa doesn't choke this game away, they'll probably have had the most impressive first two weeks of the year. Their defense is cintage Alabama good 

Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing the AP justify keeping Iowa St in the top 25 despite getting blown out at home

OSU unless/until they lose again, is my guess. 

Iowa will win a lot of games. Not sure there is anyone else capable. I expect PSU to lose at home to Auburn next week and Michigan will fade.

Worse than Texas? It's bad for college football, but I will enjoy watching Texas get regularly thumped in the SEC. 

I mean Washington lost at home against an FCS team. Amd they looked inept.

Both are just examples of how dumb preseason rankings are
