NCAA GDT: Week 14: Championship Weekend

[ColePens]

Just watching this team all year, if OSU wins - I think they should be in. HOWEVER, I think Bama would have a better chance at beating a playoff team. For what the committee wants, I think OSU fits the bill. But honestly Bama would have a better chance of winning.

TD Badgers.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Irsay's cheap ass stadium.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That turf in the endzone is so squishy.

 

[Reality Check]

Haven't read through the thread but what is the consensus here if Ohio State just holds on.

They're in or Alabama gets another shot?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Wasn't expecting turf surgery.

My money's still on Alabama getting in if Ohio State wins but Wisconsin getting in if they win.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I’ll say wisc wins this game

Congrats osu

 

[mouser]

Rub some more dirt on the field, that'll fix it.

Nobody knows. Alabama probably gets it and honestly I’m hoping it happens. Outrage would be big and the commitee hopefully doesn’t choose anymore and we expand to 6 (pref 8)

I have no idea. I think tOSU would get in but I can see Alabama getting in. If you let tOSU in that opens a can of worms. Why not Penn State last year or USC, who has played a tremendous schedule.

Alabama is in if OSU wins. Beating Wisconsin with their weak schedule isn't enough to overcome two losses for OSU vs one for Bama.

I think 2 sec teams being in is worse. We got the playoffs cause we had 2 sec teams in a final. It could happen again. And there’s no argument like they really are the two best (they kind of were), also they aren’t the best conference anymore. They are like 3rd or 4th

Expansion will happen sooner than later. Money rules everything.

I'm not factoring in Wisconsin. If they win, they're in period.

But I'm curious if a close win by Ohio State and the division title will be enough to overlook the Iowa loss. I think Auburn getting routed didn't do any favors for Alabama either.

The chair of the committee said in a conference call that conference championships are very important. I think Ohio State is in if they win.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Chryst outfoxed Schiano. He spotted the ball on the right hash so he had room to run that clear out drag. Schiano never flipped his safeties.

I think Bama should get it, but I think they are so afraid of the idea of conference champs meaning nothing. That would be really bad.

 

[The Burdened]

I don't have any horse in the race, but I would hope if these current results hold:

1. Clemson
2. Oklahoma
3. Georgia
4. Alabama

I see no upside whatsoever of Ohio State making the playoff. They will get absolutley BTFO by Clemson for the second consecutive year. OSU should frankly kind of hope they get spared the embarassment.
On the flip side, you get a Natty re-match.

I think in order for Ohio State to make a case over Alabama, they would have to beat Wisonsin by 3 TDs.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Big 3rd down. tOSU going conservative.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Oklahoma has the Saban kryptonite. A mobile and accurate QB and speed.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I think he got it.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Goddamn that was nearly a disaster.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He barely got it.

 

[The Burdened]

at the rate OSU is going, this may all be for nothing.

1. Clemson
2. Oklahoma
3. Wisconsin
4. Georgia

Even if they win, OSU right now does not look like a team that should be in the playoff. If they win and the committe is so caught up on "MUH CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP" then just give the #4 spot to UCF. UCF stands about as good of a chance of beating Clemson as OSU does, anyway.

JT may not be a great QB, but you can never doubt that kid's heart and guts.
