Conversely, we very likely get shut out in the playoffs, simultaneously ruining our reputation and any committee benefit of the doubt going forward for years while also hurting recruiting.

Yeah, OSU has never recovered from back-to-back blowouts.

I agree that this team is flawed and has about a 30% chance to win a playoff. But they'll still have to play a really good team like USC, Miami, UCF, Auburn, etc. which they could just as easily shit themselves against.

Anyway, i dont give a shit if we get in or not. Ever since the B1G adopted a title game system, it's been that much harder to get a title and I'm just happy to have this moment. My hope was to finish the season 12-2 with a title and bowl victory and it's still alive.

We lost to Clemson 31-0 in the playoffs last year and currently have the #1 recruiting class in the country this year. So there goes your recruiting argument down the drain.

If Ohio State goes 13-0 or 12-1 and wins the Big Ten title next year, do you really think that the CFB Playoff Committee would leave the Buckeyes out because they laid an egg this year? I'd like to hear that line of reasoning....

Lol. Except we've been building relationships with many of the 2018 players for years - yeah, they likely won't be swayed by the most recent year.

However, if you don't think two consecutive blowouts and being a national punchline after 31-0 will matter to future recruits - the current middleschoolers, freshmen and sophomores who will choose between us and Clemson a few years down the line - I'm not sure what to say.

I assume that in other parts of the country they think we are overrated, just like I think Texas, Notre Dame and USC are overrated every year. I could give a fuck what somebody in Mississippi thinks about Ohio State.

Do you care what the committee thinks when they decide who gets in the playoff?

And would you care to guess what parts of the country the committee comes from?

Have fun winning big 10 titles for the rest of your days. Never aspire to be more than that huh? This is great but if all we ever did was win our league then OSU wouldn’t be what it is today

Guess you have never seen the natties we have around the ring of our stadium

Have fun sucking my dick for the rest of your days. Ohio State (my alma mater...not so sure about your's) just won the Big Ten Championship. I'm all good tonight....third Martini helping a lot.
