I hope they feel deep, immense pain from that loss. Fuck Cryami forever

Cig found gold in Mendoza. He's been able to keep his staff together. Year 3 will be the test of Ohio State's system of recruiting your team of 4 and 5 stars vs Indiana's system of screening the portal works best.

The amusing part is it no longer matters whether he can sustain it or falls back to 8-5 his statue is guaranteed

but the NCAA passed on doing that. They had decades to adapt and failed.

This is what happens.

I'm enjoying watching it burn, myself.

Couldn’t agree more. Time and time again they just kept coming up big.

We should’ve beat Indiana but that’s because we should’ve scored touchdowns not field goals, missed field goals, and failed 4th down attempts.

Not only that there is no Guarantee we win the 2nd one if we won the 1st cause unless us beating them collapsed their whole belief we would end up facing them again.

Next year’s schedule sure is not kind

Whoa. The last time a school won its first national championship was Florida in 1996.

2017

This has been updated after the final polls for the 2025 season.

OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved (the Coaches Poll started in 1950), I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

For each year since 1936, a team earns points based on these criteria:

NC (#1) in either poll = 100 points
02 -> 05 = 65, 55, 50, 45 points, respectively
06 -> 10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30 points
11 -> 20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 points
21 -> 25 = 08, 06, 04, 03, 02 points
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2025 final polls:

01. 3137 - Alabama
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2818 - Oklahoma
04. 2651 - Notre Dame
05. 2287 - Michigan
06. 2123 - USC
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia (jumped Nebraska)
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida (-10 for losing record in 2025)
16. 1113 - Auburn (-10 for losing record in 2025)
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State (-10 for losing record in 2025)
19. 0842 - UCLA (-10 for losing record in 2025)
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas (-10 for losing record in 2025)
22. 0612 - Ole Miss
23. 0579 - Texas A&M
24. 0525 - Georgia Tech
25. 0489 - Wisconsin (-10 for losing record in 2025)
26. 0443 - Oregon
27. 0409 - Pittsburgh

Other schools: Iowa (377), Minnesota (341), Boise St (312), Colorado (285), Army (267), BYU (263), Syracuse (257), Stanford (215), Va Tech (198), West Va (156), Oklahoma St (37), Purdue (05), and Illinois (-77).

Since 2007, I have created separate ratings by adding National Championship credit for those earned prior to 1936, on a sliding scale based on 12-year periods.

1869-1899 - 10 points for each MNC (no top teams here, almost all Ivy League)
1900-1911 - 25 points for each MNC
1912-1923 - 50 points for each MNC
1924-1935 - 75 points for each MNC

Here are the all-time totals, updated with the pre-1936 MNC points:

01. 3412 - Alabama (MNCs in '25, '26, '34, 2/3 for '30 = 275)
02. 3036 - Ohio State
03. 2876 - Notre Dame (MNCs in '24, '29, '30 = 225)
04. 2818 - Oklahoma
05. 2462 - Michigan (MNCs in '01, '02, '23, '33 = 175)
06. 2323 - USC (MNCs in '31, '32, 2/3 for '28 = 200)
07. 1937 - Texas
08. 1705 - Penn State
09. 1639 - Georgia
10. 1630 - Nebraska
11. 1555 - Tennessee
12. 1439 - LSU
13. 1379 - Florida State
14. 1272 - Miami
15. 1175 - Florida
16. 1113 - Auburn
17. 1013 - Clemson
18. 0847 - Michigan State
19. 0842 - UCLA
20. 0744 - Washington
21. 0690 - Arkansas
22. 0650 - Georgia Tech (MNCs in '17, '28 = 125)
23. 0629 - Texas A&M (MNC in '19 = 50)
24. 0612 - Ole Miss
25. 0534 - Pittsburgh (MNCs in '10, '16, '18 = 125)
26. 0491 - Minnesota (MNCs in '34, '35 = 150)
27. 0489 - Wisconsin
28. 0443 - Oregon
29. 0377 - Iowa
30. 0367 - Army (MNCs in '14, '16 = 100)
31. 0312 - Boise State
32. 0290 - Stanford (MNC in ‘26 = 75)
33. 0285 - Colorado
34. 0263 - BYU
35. 0257 - Syracuse
36. 0198 - Virginia Tech

Note - USC and Bama received 50 points, rather than 75, for disputed titles in '28 and '30, respectively

Note - Illinois, with MNCs in '14, '23, and '27 fails to make the top 35.

I know nothing about Northwestern’s team this year, so I wouldn’t read too much into this. Penn State rolled 51-0 with two falls, a forfeit, two majors, and five tech falls.

174: #1 Levi Haines PSU tech fall #32 Eddie Enright NU, 19-4 (TF; 6:48) 5-0

184: #4 Rocco Welsh PSU tech fall J.D. Perez NU, 22-7 (TF; 5:27) 10-0

197: #1 Josh Barr PSU pinned Alex Smith NU, WBF (1:50) 16-0

285: #13 Cole Mirasola PSU tech fall Gabe Christenson NU, 19-4 (TF; 2:47) 21-0

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU tech fall #26 Dedrick Navarro NU, 20-5 (TF; 7:00) 26-0

133: #4 Marcus Blaze PSU maj. dec. #24 Sean Spidle NU, 15-4 30-0

141: #7 Braeden Davis PSU maj. dec. #32 Billy Dekraker NU, 9-0 34-0

149: #1 Shayne Van Ness PSU tech fall August Hibler, 18-3 (TF; 7:00) 39-0

157: #3 PJ Duke PSU pinned Gunnr Myers NU, WBF (2:42) 45-0

165: #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink PSU win by forfeit 51-0

There aren’t many surprises here. I’m not sure which ranking system they are using either.

Here are the results of the match with Iowa from Friday too. Penn State gave up two takedowns total.

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU dec. #6 Dean Peterson IA, 11-5 3-0

133: #4 Marcus Blaze PSU dec. #8 Drake Ayala IA, 4-2 6-0

141: #11 Nassir Bailey IA dec. #7 Braeden Davis PSU, 3-2 6-3

149: #1 Shayne Van Ness PSU maj. dec. #17 Ryder Block IA, 13-4 10-3

157: #3 PJ Duke PSU dec. #12 Jordan Williams IA, 4-2 13-3

165: #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink PSU maj. dec. #3 Michael Caliendo IA, 11-2 17-3

174: #1 Levi Haines PSU dec. Gabe Arnold IA, 4-2 20-3

184: #4 Rocco Welsh PSU dec. #1 Angelo Ferrari IA, 2-1 (TB) 23-3

197: #1 Josh Barr PSU pinned Brody Sampson IA, WBF (3:42) 29-3

285: #13 Cole Mirasola PSU dec. #5 Ben Kueter IA, 4-3 32-3

I took the results from Penn State’s team website.

From what I’ve heard OSU is done.

There is an additional window now for Miami and Indiana kids. I just wouldn’t expect any more moves from OSU here.

OSU is looking at one OL. Could be more as well if they see someone from Miami or IU - although i highly doubt it.
