Yeah, he makes a good point. Clemson was the playoff champ last year, oh wait.....
I think the SEC officials (refs) were the clear cut winners.....

My guess is Kirby (and Ohio State) truly believe an 8 game playoff is inevitable and you have to really, really challenge yourself if you're gonna get in with 1-2 losses.
Ohio State has been scheduling a top-tier Power 5 every year since 2005; for the Buckeyes at least, playoff expansion wasn’t part of the decision to go that route.
Some of the top-tier teams were less top-tier than others; I was excoriated for predicting that Cal would be no big deal by the time Ohio State played them, but I was right. Scheduling historically good teams like the Dawgs is a better bet than flash in the pan teams, but you never know.
Well, that was smart to get them up here first. If it was the other way around - no way they come. I'm still not 100% convinced they will yet.Calling it now: Alabama will not play in CBus in '27, '28 or beyond. They'll TCU us. Move their game to Birmingham and then not come to Columbus. Maybe we can make a vbet?
I'm not too enthusiastic about Stanford or aTm series; however, the other 6 would be OK. It's always nice to have an Ohio State non conference game be the premiere college game in September and the "talk" of college football.

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...ama-to-play-home-and-home-series-in-2027-2028Per the terms of the contract between the schools, as obtained by Eleven Warriors through a public records request on Thursday, the visiting team will receive $1 million and 5,000 tickets from the home team for each year's game, while either school would owe $3 million to the other if it backs out of the agreement. Per the contract, “the teams agree to discuss in good faith a future date(s) for the game(s) to be played” if conference rule or alignment changes dictate that a game between the two schools cannot be played in 2027 or 2028.
Same with Duh U, and to an extent VaTech and Washington.Some of the top-tier teams were less top-tier than others; I was excoriated for predicting that Cal would be no big deal by the time Ohio State played them, but I was right.

But "theoretically" they could win the National Championship. The Citadel, Florida A&M or any of a number of other teams that have been scheduled by the big powerhouse schools cannot.We did the "middle of the road teams" during the Richt years simply because it was easy to get them to say yes and drop the "sisters of the poor" from their schedule.
Arizona State, Okie State and Colorado were fine opponents, but nobody gushed about them on the schedule
Arizona State can't. Because Joe Germaine and David Boston said so.But "theoretically" they could win the National Championship. The Citadel, Florida A&M or any of a number of other teams that have been scheduled by the big powerhouse schools cannot.
