Ohio State . . .

[TeufelHog]

You guys do realize that our win against Ole Miss today is basically gonna put tOSU into the playoff and negate a second SEC team from getting in. 

What pisses me off is Arkansas could beat tOSU.  Not a doubt in my mind.  tOSU has had a weak schedule this year and are sitting right on the cusp of playoff entry.  Absolutely disgusting.  Hopefully Wisconsin can beat their arse in the conference title game.

[Bebop]

You could tell starting about two or so weeks ago that the talking heads were trying to propel Ohio State in the 4 team play-off. Ohio State has been exposed many times. If they get in, they will be exposed again.

[dhornjr1]

If they're #4 and Alabama is #1, Alabama will skull-frick them in New Orleans.

[Atlhogfan1]

I believe Oh St to better than FSU, TCU and Baylor. 

[Doug]

Ohio State will NOT get in for one reason.

Date   Opponent   Final

[ShadowTheHedgehog]

Honestly, to heck with the other SEC teams, let's beat all the teams we can and if they dont make it to the final 4 who cares? Let's keep improving and get to the final 4 ourselves in a year or two.

SEC, SEC, SEC,  - Arkansas, Arkansas, Arkansas.

PS: I get the part about tOSU, most overrated school in the country. Hope Michigan beats them.

I agree if State and Bama win out, they are both in. Also, tOSU run defense is awful, Melvin Gordon looms

[TeufelHog]

I'd like to agree with you Doug, but that loss might have been "early enough" in the season to be "discounted."  I REALLY dislike tOSU!

Would love to see Michigan beat them!

Wrong. If they win out just watch.

I agree assuming both MSU and tOSU go undefeated. No way will the committee put tOSU you. People need to stop listening to the Big Ten homers on ESPN game day and other shows who say the same thing.

You absolutely can not compare the two losses. When Bama goes undefeated, which they will after they beat UGA in the SECt game, that means they are the undisputed #1 team in the country. Where will Va Tech finish? They may not even be bowl eligible in a terrible ACC. The ACC is terrible according to the playoff committee otherwise FSU would be #1 right now instead of #3 behind two one loss teams. So knowing how bad the ACC is, according to the committee, no freaking way can they justify giving the 4 slot to tOSU over MSU when comparing losses. The loss tOSU suffered? At home to one of the worst teams in the ACC who likely won't even make a bowl. The loss MSU suffered? On the road to the committee's undisputed overall #1 team.

Not a chance they slot tOSU ahead of MSU. Not a chance. Zero.

The committee, namely Long, has stated that they are not counting when wins and losses occur.

tOSU loses at home to a 5-6 ACC team who will not even make a bowl game

MSU loses on the road to undisputed #1 Bama team

No chance a Big Ten makes the playoff. None.

[BigoBoys]

I don't give a xxxx about OSU.

Only flaw I see in your logic is that tOSU would have won a Conf championship game wile MSU sat idle. The would put tOSU in, I'm afraid.

[Danny J]

I just don't see it. The committee stated earlier this year they would not put any special emphasis on winners of conference title games against teams/conferences that don't have a title game. That loss at home to Va Tech will keep them out assuming that all the teams ahead of them win out.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

My thoughts as well.  Will be much pressure to get tOSU in the playoff.  Need Baylor, TCU, OR and FSU to all win out.

better bowls means more money for us to share

[Danny J]

You guys are using the old BCS requirements and special emphasis rules. This is not being done that way. No way will they put tOSU ahead of all those teams. Their schedule strength along with their loss are pure garbage. They can't justify putting FSU at #3 because of their weak conference(ACC) schedule and then at the same time jump tOSU up to #4 when their loss was at home to one of the worst(bottom two) ACC teams.

[dmaxfan]

Hell, if we played Bob's Community College every week like OSU, we'd be undefeated. Strength of schedule really needs to matter more.

[rusvegashog]

If OSU wins their conference championship than they are in, especially if MSU struggles at all in the Egg Bowl. I fully expect Ole Miss to play a much better game than they did tonight. IMO

[Danny J]

It does matter....a lot and it is reflected in the rankings. Otherwise FSU would be #1. People need to stop listening to the game day Big Ten lackeys. The Big Ten and ACC are tied as the worst conference in football. They are WAYYYYYY behind the SEC, Pac 12 and Big 11. Hell....the Pac 12 is over-rated and they are a MUCH better conference than the Big 12.

They may jump TCU but they are not going to jump MSU no matter what happens in the title game.

[ShadowTheHedgehog]

I am sure we will be OK.

[Huds_HawgTide]

The only problem with your statement is ole miss was #8 not #4...missST is #4 and poised to keep their spot...i wish we had knocked msst off but u have to realize before posting there are 2 MS Schools

[Bubba's Bruisers]

If OSU wins their conference championship than they are in. IMO

Provided a few others ahead of them lose.  If Bama, TCU/Baylor, OR and FSU win out, then no.

[Hog N Bama]

Why waste Hogville server disk space talking about O St? Irrelevant...don't play anybody 

[Lord of the Styes]

OSU will make it in after Florida beats FSU next weekend. Fl St has been getting by on other teams collapses. Gators send Muschamp out on a high note. Book it.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Correct.

[WooPig90]

Who cares, they will just get murdered in whoever they play in the playoff game.

[staffhog]

Bear, you forgot to factor in Kannel and Roberts Smith.  The upnorth media boys will not rest until tosu loses or wins (er is given)  a spot.

[Danny J]

Not so sure....the game is in Tallahassee. The one thing I have learned since they played Auburn last year is never count them out. They just have that knack no matter how bad they are playing to put together a couple late game drives to win.

[PORKULATOR]

Gordon will have 200 yards on the ground against tOSU.

[redeye]

Unless it's the reason Arkansas won't get it, I really don't care.  We should take pride in ruining other SEC team's seasons and I do.

True but I just hate tOSU with a passion.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

I would love for them to get in and get that butt beat by Bama

[rusvegashog]

Everyone's got opinions and mine are that Pete Carroll and Urban Meyer are the two best coaches out there. If tOSU slides in I wouldn't count them out to win it all. If they don't get it done this year they will sooner than later. I have no dog in the fight, but MSU or TCU would be great even Baylor. Screw the traditional powers.

[pigbacon]

So... did they do enough to get in? We shall see. I say there is a 33% chance. I would not be surprised.

[TeufelHog]

I think the committee is gonna' bump TCU out and put tOSU in because the Big XII didn't play a conference championship/didn't crown an undisputed conference champion. 

[LRRandy]

Gordon will have 200 yards on the ground against tOSU.

or he could finish with 76 yards at 2.9 yards per carry. But, nice prediction.

[Bryant Disciple]

I think the committee is gonna' bump TCU out and put tOSU in because the Big XII didn't play a conference championship/didn't crown an undisputed conference champion. 

I agree. The lack of a Big 12 Championship game, plus the inconvenient fact that Baylor beat TCU, may leave both Big 12 teams out of it.

By including Ohio State, the Playoff Committee can send a message about the importance of championship games, while also dodging the head-to-head results issue.

[ronmahony]

I wish we had OSU's problem, do you start the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd string QB. Our first string QB could have a broke leg and they would have him out there on crutches!

[TeufelHog]

Congrats tOSU . . . signed the Arkansas Razorbacks . . . the team that beat Ole Miss which allowed you to jump up in the poll.

Our Hogs could actually beat tOSU.

[rzrbk4life]

I hope bama kills them

[rhames]

It was always going to be conference champs

Putting a beat down on Wisky didn't hurt.

[JONAS]

The reason the SEC is not going to get 2 teams is because Mississippi State lost to Ole Miss.

[Pulled(PP)pork]

ok, sure

Yep...had MSU won that game then they would be #4.

What are u talking about?  Ole Miss were eliminated when they lost Auburn.  hogs/ole miss game had no impact on playoffs.

Hogs would have no shot vs Ohio State.  None

They would have been 5.

Ok but that was posted 30 minutes ago.  Could be joking i guess, i dont pick up on sarcastic posts easily
