2024 College Football Thread: Ohio State advances to play unbeaten hypothetical SEC team (2 Viewers)

[culdeus]

Why are these games on TBS and TNT instead of ABC or ESPN?

Money.

Wouldn't they get more eyeballs (and money) on ABC?

They don't make money for # of eyeballs. They make money from what each network will pay.

Do they get a refund if the games are straight $$$?

 

[MAC_32]

This is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen

 

[whoknew]

Wow. Jack Sawyer sure had a lot of energy in that pre-game scrum. Maybe he should use more of that in big games. #0-4 #nogoldpants #extendRyanDay

 

[Osaurus]

Shuke looks cold on the Vols sideline tonight

 

[Desert_Power]

There are a lot of Vols in that stadium. Wow

 

[Joe Bryant]

Herbstreit impressed with how many UT fans there.

 

[sho nuff]

Heck of an opening drive by OSU. Tennessee is a really good team. Should be a fun game

We'll see. Tennessee can sometimes be a really good team.

 

[Desert_Power]

This could get out of hand early. OSU is playing with a lot of fire right now.

 

[whoknew]

Clearly the SEC should have more teams in the playoff.

Yeah, not a great start. Tennessee has so much talent and potential…need to put it all together.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Good start Bucks

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

When do we claim Tennessee doesn't belong in the playoffs? Or is worse than Indiana because Indiana at least hung with Ohio State for about a half.

I'm sure it'll happen now. Is that good?

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Don't need to defend against osu offense if they aren't on the field.

 

[stbugs]

I’ll take that for 5-12, that was entertaining.

For a Clemson team that wasn’t that good this year, they at least battled back. Sucks that they ran two **** plays at the 1 and got a needless blindside block that turned a TD into a FG. That’s an easy 10 points. I don’t think they would have won as their run D was atrocious, but it would have made a more interesting last few minutes.

I still wish Dabo would use the portal and I hope Garrett Riley doesn’t keep sucking so bad at key times. They need a punter who can kick more than 30 yards and it will be nice to see the young RBs rather than plodder Mafah. I think they will have a really good team next year. It was a fun watch at least, especially since I took my boys and nephew to the ACC championship and had seats in the end zone with all the score and GW FG.

Tennessee better get a stop here, else OSU gonna woodshed them.

 

[Jayded]

Can we get one competitive game today? Sheesh the road teams this weekend.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Why is Tennessee even in the playoff?!? Alabama somethingsomethingsomething

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Hendo!

 

[Corporation]

Oof.

 

[Dez]

The road teams are not having a good time in the playoffs so far.

 

[BlackCrowes]

Where’s that woodshed?

 

[Capella]

We will get the occasional banger but most first round games will be like this. Some of these teams should be in the Outback Bowl.

It's almost like 12 teams is way too many and lets some serious garbage in.

Crazy that two of the best 3 teams in the country will be facing each other in the quarterfinals. I am calling it now, whoever wins the Rose Bowl will win the National Championship.

 

[Desert_Power]

Not even holding Sawyer can keep him from the QB.

Ohio State just lost at home to 5-loss Michigan.

 

[Jayded]

How did this Ohio State team lose to Michigan?

 

[ChiefD]

Can we reduce the playoff to 8 teams next year?

Michigan has Ryan Day's head in a blender and voodoo dolled him into a hilariously inept ego driven game plan

6 with round 1 on campus sites, been saying it for years

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I’ve seen better QB play from a service academy

Shocking yes, but Vegas agrees with me they are a top 3 team.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Tennessee looks slow.

With the way Tennessee looks, are any of Alabama’s losses “good”?

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Either ASU and Clemson are getting in (if conference champions do) or Tennessee and Indiana still get in.

Ohio St @ Texas, winner gets Georgia
Notre Dame @ Penn St, winner gets Oregon

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Well these games sucked, but at least betting against SMU and Tennessee was easy money. Just wish I hadn't let this thread make me doubt my conviction a bit and bet half of my original intent. Still good money though.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

How did this Ohio State team lose to Michigan?

I don't know if this rhetorical or not. But the answer is they are a finesse team and tried to play big boy football for some reason.

 

[Osaurus]

A non-tOSU TD. Interesting

Works this year. Next year when there's 5 or 7 good teams people will want it changed again. Besides, no one is agreeing to leaving conference champs out until the SEC and Big Ten just break away from everyone else and form their own tournament.

 

[sho nuff]

not sure he had control in bounds…but too hard to overturn. Tennessee needed that

6 usually works out pretty well and no matter what is done there will always be people unhappy.

 

[fasteddie_21]

What? He tackled him too hard?!?

 

[Dez]

That was a BS call he was in mid air tackling him as the QB threw it like he should done what ? Fell on him too hard what was he supposed to do ?

 

[Instinctive]

False start on several players that was hilarious I've never heard that before

 

[SFBayDuck]

Biggest problem with this format isn’t three loss teams not getting in ahead of teams that didn’t lose to bad teams. It’s that it’s looking like the two best teams are from the B1G and they’ll play next week.

 

[Beef Ravioli Part 2]

They are going to let Tennessee back in this game. Awful third and short play.
