2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Also 2 of the 4 games were stinkers.

Indy smoked Bama it was enjoyable only in the fact that listening to Herby mock how bad Bama was getting murdered was enjoyable. Who even watched the Ore vs TT game? Too early and boring game.

OSU game was very good. And the Ole Miss game was a barn burner. I will say I was disappointed massively by OSU (I know all here agree) as OSU never rose to the moment. I was expecting a finish similar to Georgia vs Ole Miss where both teams threw haymakers.

I am 100% pulling for a Indy vs Ole Miss Final. I can’t get enough of the Indy Team of Autistic humans starting with the HC. And the Chambliss kid from a small town in MI who played at Ferris is just too good of a story. Who ever wins that game would legend.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Didn’t watch the games yesterday but looking at the scores I think we have enough data points on rest vs rust.

Next year should be 16 and get rid of the byes. Indiana just has an underdog mindset that keeps them focused. Only top-4 seed to make it out of 8 so far.
I prefer to keep it 12 teams but first 2 rounds are home games for higher seeds. Additionally, the quarters should be played before Christmas. Way too long of a break.

What advantage did OSU get by being a top 4 seed? They played an away game at a half empty stadium. Again the whole set up is about money and not the actual game of football.
The teams with byes should have a home game and it should be mid December. Then all 4 teams have a 2 week layoff until the New Year Days bowls. Then the Final Game around Jan 8-10

This seems so simple and logical to me

I think we are willing to when there’s a great player at a position of need. That’s what gave us Caleb Downs.

I hope so too because add Koi to the mix and we have the best secondary in the big ten. It won’t be what it was this year because Downs will be missed and Koi isn’t at Caleb’s level. However it can surely sustain a high level with the addition here.
I'd love to see Koi in this DB room. But do you play Delane alongside him or McClain, and risk losing one of them?

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

Seems like almost every season the Oline is an issue. Run blocking always seems to be a problem. This year pass protection was an issue against good defensive teams. Is it scheme? Is it the coaching? Is it the Jimmys and Joes? Or just some combination of these?

I find it odd that the Buckeyes can’t field a solid Oline year in and year out. Hopefully, it will move in a positive direction for 26.

I hope so, I really do. But his former coach just beat OSU, and is at a school that has no problem with overpaying for players if they really want them. OSU hasn't shown that yet, maybe this loss will bring that out. But Perich has more of a direct connection to Miami than OSU at the moment

Nah no way. He’s coming here to go into the system that produced Caleb Downs in an NFL system.

We were his second choice (almost got him too), his position was featured, and his position here is available now.

I’d be shocked if he goes anywhere but Ohio State. I think it was Birm who joked after the Minnesota game that Koi will look great in S&G in 2026.

Anyway I’d be shocked if he goes anywhere but OSU.

You have to think that Miami will be a BIG player in getting him from the Portal

OSU almost got him 1st time around could there be a 2nd chance? His other finalist was Florida St if I remember correctly

Year 1 he had Miami’s defensive coordinator and better players around him. He’s still a very good player
