Go Michigan, Again (Again)
-
They were prepared to grind out a win down the stretch, Buckeyes weren't. McCord's stats under pressure are some of the worst in the B1G and his legs aren't quite enough to compensate. Hats off to them for making the plays we've become accustomed to seeing tOSU pull out the previous two decades. Loss aside, nobody argues with watching a good football game.
edit: That said, once... just fucking once, can I get a post-game presser where the *ichigan coaches or players just shut the fuck up and act with some humility? Coach Moore was fine, but Roman Wilson is the new one to run his mouth. Jesus Christ, boys. That sort of thing and you're lucky you're allowed in front of the podium under Tress, Urban and Day.

Well, it’s not like Michigan is a classy organization to begin with.

This is adorable. Really.
Losing to Michigan three years in a row and all you got is "but, but, but playoffs!"

What, this is too much for you?
"Definitely not," Wilson said when asked if the Buckeyes played with more physicality on Saturday than they did in 2022. "I told the receivers this whole week, like, you’ve got guys back there [on Ohio State’s defense] who want to put on the Louis V, the $1,000 outfit and you want to act hard. But when we’re out there, you’re not hard. I see the film. You’re not tough."
Remember, Day at one point said he was going to drop 100 on us. Let's not start with this "humility" BS like OSU is the champion of it. Give me a fucking break

The ultimate goal is to win the CHAMPIONSHIP. Beating TTUN is a bonus. At least that’s how OSU sees it.

@tiamat63 hey, at least OSU coaches are staying classy and taking the high road, right?
Miss me with that "just have humility" stuff. Seriously. OSU fans eat this shit up when they win. But lose and Michigan does some vaguely close? Here comes the pearl clutching.

Remember Hairball wasn’t concerned with Covid until OSU came due on the schedule.
Good times.

True, but they play each other and I expect the loser of that game to fall behind Ohio State in the polls.
However, Louisville will still need to beat Florida State.

And the other remains ahead, so it's a wash. Still have to root for Bama or Louisville to pull another out of the top 4. Iowa can do it as well against Mich.

Usually they can't both stay ahead of the 6th ranked team. But who knows. When you lose you usually drop out of the top 4 and the vacuum pulls at least one team into the opening. The other opening gets create by the loser of Wash/Ore, thus pulling OSU into the top 4.

as i said before we need bama fsu and tex to lose. and here ya go
w, I know, you don’t want to hear it.
I can hear you telling me that the Buckeyes don’t deserve the playoffs. You don’t want them there. You don’t even want to entertain the idea of the playoffs. That’s fine, but I have a job to do.
Five Buckeyes Earn First-TeamAll-Big Ten Honors On OffenseRead MoreAnd there are actually people out there who will be wondering what needs to happen, so let’s just let them live in peace and help them out a bit.
After all, the Buckeyes needed a bunch of help last year and they got it.
Crazier things have happened.
And what actually needs to happen this time around isn’t all that crazy.
But a warning for some of you, there will be no doom and gloom from here on out. We’re just going to deal in what is possible.
Step One: Step one actually happened on Saturday when Kentucky gave Louisville a second loss. Louisville is one-half of the ACC Championship Game, but with two losses, they won’t stand in Ohio State’s way.
Step Two: No. 20 Oklahoma State (9-3, 7-2) must beat No. 7 Texas (11-1, 8-1) in the Big XII Championship Game (12:00 pm ABC, Jerry World). This step got a whole lot more difficult when Oklahoma State survived against BYU this past weekend. Had the Cougars won that game, Oklahoma would have gone to the Big XII Championship Game to face Texas. The Sooners probably would have given the Longhorns a better game, but perhaps their guard will be down this weekend against the Pokes. A win for Texas will almost certainly see them jump Ohio State because they will have both a win over Alabama and a conference championship. Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon leads the nation in rushing. The Longhorns have the No. 5 run defense in the nation. (Line: Texas -14.5)
Step Three: No. 1 Georgia (12-0, 8-0) must beat No. 8 Alabama (11-1, 8-0) in the SEC Championship Game (4:00 pm CBS, Atlanta). An Alabama win is going to move the Tide ahead of Ohio State in the pecking order and it won’t drop the Bulldogs below the Buckeyes. A win for Bama could lock up two spots for the SEC, but it will also create the kind of mess that would have Ohio State lost in the wash regardless. (Line: Georgia -5)
Step Four: No. 3 Michigan (12-0, 9-0) must beat No. 17 Iowa (10-2, 7-2) in the Big Ten Championship Game (8:00 pm FOX, Indianapolis). A loss for Michigan could eliminate both the Wolverines and the Buckeyes (assuming the Buckeyes aren’t already eliminated), which could create some difficult rooting interests for people. (Line: Michigan -23)
Step Five: Louisville must beat Florida State in the ACC Championship Game (8:00 pm ABC, Charlotte). Right now Florida State is hanging on and if they win this game, they will be a first-round bye for somebody. A loss for the Seminoles here eliminates them, and the committee won’t put a two-loss Louisville team in the playoffs. (Line: Florida State -3)
Assorted Addendums
- The Pac 12 Championship Game is Friday night and has no bearing on Ohio State. The Pac 12 is getting a team in, so that is already factored into OSU’s chances. The winner is in and the loser is eliminated. The committee does not like Washington because of ugly wins over Arizona State and Stanford (and now Washington State) — and also because of their bad defense, but if they’re undefeated, they’re in. That would also create a second loss for the Ducks, which would eliminate them. If Oregon wins, Washington will drop out of the picture faster than the first Aunt Viv.
- Right now, the guaranteed spots belong to the Pac 12 and the SEC. Michigan is all but guaranteed to be in, so you can go ahead and put the Big Ten in as an effective guarantee because either Michigan is in or they lose and nobody from the Big Ten makes it and this exercise has become moot.
- So, basically, if you are an Ohio State fan who wants the Buckeyes to make the playoffs, you’ll need to root for a 14.5-point underdog in the Big XII Championship Game, a 5-point favorite in the SEC Championship Game, a 23-point favorite in the Big Ten Championship Game, and a 3-point underdog in the ACC Championship Game.
- A $10 bet on that four-leg parlay would pay out $168.
- To put it in a more optimistic light, all Ohio State really needs is for Texas to choke, Georgia to be Georgia, Iowa to be Iowa, and Florida State to lose with their backup quarterbacks as only a 3-point favorite. This will all get very interesting or very “over with” by 4:00 pm on Saturday.
- If the first two games happen as they need to for Ohio State, the television ratings for the ACC Championship Game will actually be good for a change, but maybe only in Ohio.
