They'll let you down either way, every time. They win games they shouldn't, and lose a lot more that they shouldn't. As soon as you think you have them figured out, you lose even more money. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted November 21, 2020 Well ohiostate didnt bring there A game. Im gunna say more of a C-. But they still beat #9 indiana. And are safely on top of our conference. Next 2 games should be easy and then we have "that team up north" that one can be a wild card. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted November 21, 2020 LSU was not impressive , they had to tip a field goal attempt with 1.42 left in the 4th that would have tied the game , but a win is a win , 4and 3 ain't pretty coming off a perfect season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted November 22, 2020 I think it was only 3 starters on offense and defense that returned ---- Alabama started slow but got on a roll and destroyed Kentucky , they are undefeated , LSU 's game with them was canceled last week , and will not be played so they say , I was hoping to play them and at least have a chance of pulling it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention all this crazy crap with covid and shut downs and everything. A bunch of new guys playing with no crowd to get them hyped up. Having to create there own energy is tough. Our head coach was talking alot about that in his press conference. He was saying the players havent seen there familys or been home in months. Trying to stay in there own bubble so they dont get sick and have to postpone or cancel more games. Crazy what these kids gotta go through and still perform on saturdays. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And obveously Burrow. So a new QB on top of it. I caught most of the game. The announcers said that LSU lost TWENTY NINE players to the NFL last year. Tied for the most players ever to go to the NFL from one time (I'm sure the other was a bama team from some year, didn't catch it if they said who the other team was). Hogs played ok. I'm happy with our coach. After the last couple of years it's a yuge improvement. Refs sucked, but they sucked on both sides of the ball. LSU had a clear touchdown catch late in the game that they ruled incomplete (LSU scored later on that drive) and Arkansas had a targeting call on a player that was just good defense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted December 14, 2020 Ohiostate is #3 and has an 88% of making the playoffs because they have dominated most of the games they were in by a large points gap. The only game they had that was even close they were obveously told to tone it back or they were gunna start killing players on the other team. It was real obveous when they went from being caged dogs laying hard hit after hard hit then went to about 50% in a matter of a few plays. They didnt play alot of games. But not by there decision. The other teams canceled the games. There last game against michigan state they played without there head coach and a handfull of other top rated players and they demolished michigan state. Made them look silly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 14, 2020 I seen the Michigan State game ----- but still , 5 wins compared to 9 , 10 or 11 wins doesn't work out for me , is not fair to the teams that played more games , should be a 10 game minimum to be in the top ten or an asterisk next to the name ----- they had less chance of getting players hurt or contract the 'rona ----LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted December 14, 2020 See to me thats a coach whos team hasnt played like he hoped. They judge off your body of work. And they put the teams in that have the best chance to win the whole thing. The cfp committee makes that judgement. But to me there is only two sure things for the battle for the title and thats alabama and ohiostate. We all know what happened last time that game was played. And time will tell what it will be like when its played again. If it wasnt for a crap targeting call and refs. robbing osu of any momentum the whole game against clemson we would have seen the Ohiostate vs. LSU game we all know we should have last year. They may be making up for that? Who knows? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 16, 2020 "" Clemson coach Dabo Swinney didn't mince words this week when asked about the College Football Playoff and his opinion on Ohio State's half-season of games played compared to others in the final four mix. The two-time national champion doesn't believe the Buckeyes deserve to be in consideration with a six-game slate. "It's almost like you've got to have 120 hours to get a business degree and yet these people over here only need 60 hours to get a business degree," Swinney said, during a long-winded answer on why leadership within the SEC, ACC and Big 12 has performed admirably compared to the Big Ten.

SlammedRanger 1,556 Posted December 16, 2020 So now Dabo has been off since the beginning of all this. I remember watching the first college game and clemson played it. And he was asked would he be ok with waiting for the big 10 or other conferences to catch up. He said absolutely not. So my view on that would be if you leave out half the teams how could you have a "national championship?". If you won the trophy should just say congrats you beat the teams that could play enough games during a pandemic. That would require an asterisk next to it for sure. What would be the pride in beating half the nation in a national championship? I saw that as hes scared of playing the teams that they were hoping would be left out. Knowing his team beating ohiostate again would require more money to pay off the refs like last year. Then going to get stomped by LSU which we all know would have been a better game with OSU on the other side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,605 Posted December 16, 2020 I can see both sides, but watching the SEC teams KILL each other every year during the regular season, and then trying to play playoff games tends to put me in the "they need to play enough games" if we're talking "fair and equal". The SEC isn't as dominant top to bottom as it used to be, but playing an SEC conference schedule is just brutal and that can be said for almost EVERY year. But even the SEC had to cancel some games due to covid, so what would the magic number of games be to qualify? I'll say this.....I'm glad we at least have a playoff, where if a half season Ohio State beats the team they play in the first round, they have, at least to some degree, earned their way into the title game.
