Oklahoma is better than Ohio State. Ohio State doesn’t play much defense. Oklahoma would show it.

And you think Oklahoma plays defense? Lol. Ohio State would beat the crap out of Oklahoma

ND finally takes a lead. If ND wins pretty much guarantees the Irish, Bama Clemson

Eight team playoff would be a terrible idea. Too watered down

[Hoosier Guy]

I hate how there’s so many bowl games. Way too many. Don’t reward this “everybody gets a trophy” crap. Don’t reward mediocrity

6-6 should not get you a bowl.

It was even worse when 5-7 teams got rewarded that one year

Strongly disagree and that’s okay.

LSU & Texas A&M going into the 6th OT.

 SEC Network

 

Edit: 7th OT 66-66

Edit: A&M wins 74-72

 

 

[hoosierdogg]

Holy cow - 7 OTs!!!   74 - 72 A&M, incredible.  

[HoosierAloha]

Why did they even play 7OTs when they knew the winner before end of regulation... they really hyped up the "rivalry" after this game. Odd...

WOW...maybe one more football program that is more of a mess than ours. Heck, their whole athletic department.

It seems like the big ten has 3 or 4 teams ranked unrealistically high every season.  Like last week when our sh*tty team gave UM a good game, it was obvious they (UM) wasn't very good.  I don't follow college football very closely at all, but I use our team as a good barometer for how good the other BT teams are - if they don't beat us convincingly, they're probably not that good.

What? Using individual games as a basis for evaluating how good a team is makes literally zero sense. Michigan was absolutely shredding teams going into our game and the OSU game. They were playing like one of the 5 best teams in the country.

 

Using this same logic Virginia was an absolute garbage in college basketball last year, I mean they had one bad game so therefore they were never any good.

With all the questionable calls against LSU it is probably worth going to twitter. Find some LSU fans' accounts and see them collectively lose their minds.

USC is committing to Helton despite a 5 win season.

Indiana should go offer John Harbaugh. Just throw him 5-6 million and tell him there will be more with some improvement. How much extra cash could be made off a Harbaugh game when Indiana played Michigan? ESPN would eat that up forever.

I am sure he would love to come here after we canned his brother-in-law less than two years ago.

I'd be ecstatic for a hire like that, but I'd say the chances of that happening are less than zero.

1.  He'd be taking a big step down from the NFL to a perennial doormat.

2.  Glass wouldn't take a big boy swing like that, he'd probably hire the person that woke him up from his nap then fall asleep again.

3.  We just fired his brother-in-law.

I agree with 8 team playoff. Only adds one more weekend and having the opening round around Dec 23rd will not extend the season. The ratings would be through the roof for 4 more games and it would allow a non-power 5 school in. 

It would add eyeballs but not hurt the existing bowls as there are already too many and the only people that care about the Motor City Bowl, as an example, are the participating schools and channel surfers. That won’t change because of 4 more teams in the playoff.

Absolutely. If you're #8 you don't deserve a shot, IMO. It would also be the final blow to the bowls. 

There are 39 bowl games. 78 of 126 FBS teams get in the postseason. Needs to go back to the days when 6-6 wouldn’t guarantee a bowl game. If a team is mediocre, they shouldn’t be in a bowl game. Don’t reward mediocrity

Simple, don’t watch those mediocre bowl games. Let the fans of those teams enjoy 1 more game.
