Wow on that last td. Props for the tb stopping but not sure whay was going on with day after that. Either there was something said before the game that day was pissed about or he was just being an ass.
Ohio State
- Thread starter msfboiler3
- Start date
If I were Day I'd have taken the knee and hoped IU got in the playoffs. But it sounds like OSU was taken aback by how confidently IU approached the game and it was a "welcome to the big leagues" statement by them.
More of a "you don't belong here" I think
Here's gonna be the interesting scenario as it applies to Indinia. SMU and Miami both win out, play each other in the ACC CG. Both ahead of Indinia. One of them loses. Does that team drop below Indinia in the final rankings? That's the key. The committee keeps telling us that getting to, then losing your conference championship game shouldn't hurt you. I think they're going to get dropped significantly Tuesday, but then they can beat Purdue and sit back and let other teams lose. Gonna be interesting.
Kinda, and I almost said that, but can only see one team getting in from the Big 12 no matter what. The loser today is done. Meanwhile Kansas giving it to Colorado early.
If you say so. Don't really care or follow it that closely. Just know their resume is bad.
they have a bad resume, yes but I think they belong in a 12 team playoff, that game was closer than it looked, they gave up 14 points to special teams which is correctable and the last TD was just window dressing
Speaking of the Big 12, I conjured up an 8-way tie for first place at 6-3. Unlikely, because Okie St has to beat Colorado. But if it happened, Baylor and Kansas State would come out of the dead to play for the title.
You could also argue that Indiana's late TD was garbage time too. Effective final score of 31-7.
It's going to be interesting to see where they end up, particularly where it relates to SMU.
Meanwhile, Penn State got a gift PI call late in the first half, ended up scoring to theoretically tie the game, but the XP was blocked and returned for 2 points for Minnesota! RTB up 19-16.
Didn't look like PI along with it being uncatchable out of bounds. Double bad call.
The rb blew through the line when iu knew a run was coming and slid down at the goal line, so the last TD was not really window dressing in terms of not being a reflection of relative strength. And OSU had at least 5 sacks. So I don't think it was closer than the score looked.
If the playoff committee really looks at strength of schedule like they said they will, iu should be left out. They can still play in the Muffler bowl, so they got that going for them.
That was ridiculously bad.....they've also missed a couple of face-mask penalties on Penn State. Penn State's play-off push is going to be "We played Ohio State close....."
I was just going to post that, on Minny last drive the receiver had his mask yanked on the 30 and the announcers even said w/ a possible facemask and nothing was called, would have taken it to the 15

IU was talking shit before the game and Day didn't like it when IU went for 2 and the on side kick when the game was over.
Several other key losses today helped IU’s cause. I have to believe 1-2 teams will be upset next week. And somebody will lose in a championship game. I understand the results of a championship game are not supposed to matter. But if you look at past college football and championship game results and bowl bids, it does matter. I’ve seen several sec and big 10 teams that were not in the championship game get better bowl bids than the teams that lost.
I expect somebody in the sec or big 12 or acc will be upset next week and IU will gain the last playoff bid. The only question I have is being the last playoff team better than the potential bowl bid they would receive if they finished the season with 1 loss but were not in the playoffs?

Agreed —- the object of the game is to score touchdowns.
I feel pretty confident in stating that none of these butt- hurt IU people whining about OSU’s “classlessness” will have any problem with IU tacking on meaningless TD after TD next week against Purdue…
