So, "forever ago" wasn't 3 years ago? It actually was.

Look, I'm saying the B1G isn't strong. Show me a team that's consistently worth a damn in the B1G that isn't tOSU.

I'll give you Clemson is the only non high school team in the ACC, but dammit. . Clemson is actually really a good football team.

The SEC has Bama and GA, sometimes LSU and Auburn.

These teams get 5* recruits we WISH we could get. I'm not a Homer...... the B1G outside of us is weak.

In college football terms 3 years is forever. Is there anyone on either team that played a prominent role in that game still left? How about you make a competent argument rather then taking your ball and going home when the flaws in your arguments are pointed out.

So, the B1G should just get a pass because it's the B1G? Despite no recent history of life in the playoffs from ANYONE except us?

Yeah, yeah, tOSU isn't the team Clemson best, but wanna match recruiting classes since? CFP championships since? With Bama if not Clemson?

I'd rather not.

If you guys don't wanna face that the B1G is essentially a one team conference, I'm fine with that but the championships show the truth. You've gotta go back to the 90s to find ttun.

But look, there's a coupla SEC teams not named Bama, an ACC team not named Clemson, and a rogue west coast team in there but nothing from the B1G except our 06 and 14 wins. NOTHING.

Ya wanna get the breaks from the committee? Maybe you should be in a conference that's been competitive in the last 30 years.

While the SEC has had at least four different teams win national titles since 2000 (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU) the ACC has had three (Clemson, Duh U, and FSU). The Big 12 has also had only two (Texas and Oklahoma). And that "rogue west coast team" is the only Pac 12 team to win a natty in those two decades. So your implication that other conferences have a bunch of teams that have been national-title caliber is s bit over-blown (aside from the SEC). The SEC and ACC will continue to get the ESPN--and thus committee bias--mainly because ESPN has a huge financial stakes in the SEC and ACC Networks.

I don't think conference "strength", however we choose to define that, is the reason we don't catch any breaks.

I think the reason we don't catch any breaks is that a number of tOSU super-teams have shredded opponents all season, then gone on the National stage and choked. Florida 2006. LSU 2007. Clemson in 2013 and 2016.

As well, I think that the sports media know that we, as a fanbase, get all worked up over those games and like to whine about getting dissed, so they pour it on.

My assertion is that where's ANYONE other than tOSU in 30 years?

It's that the B1G is apparently us....... and nobody who can get in the playoffs.

True or False?

Guys, this isn’t how this works. You’re supposed to get your bitter arguments and anger out of the way BEFORE a big win, like the rest of us.
:lol: :drunks:

Just woke from my slumber and it turns out I didn’t just dream that Ohio State is playing the best ball in the nation right now.

It’s a great day to be a Buckeye.

Every day is a good day to be a Buckeye, but days in the B1G haven't helped us in decades.

Where's the B1G competition?

so that's a hard pass on making a competent argument and instead opening with a major strawman.

Of all of the absurd stuff you've posted, this might be the worst, and emphasizes my previous sentence.

Ehhhhh I don't really buy that either. "Clemson-ing" was a real thing until Dabo finally (mostly) put that to bed in 2015. Even then Clemson got beat the fuck down in 2016. Oklahoma was known for choking big games away yet no one every brings that shit up. Hell Notre Dame's entire history in national relevant games for the past 30 years has been nothing but embarrassments. They got destroyed in similar fashion to OSU in 2016 by Clemson yet talking heads can't stop gargling over Notre Dame keeping it close against Georgia and they should get in as a 1-loss team.

OSU is the only team who's past performances seem to travel year after year. I 100% buy the fact that there's a bias against the Buckeyes.

I would not be surprised to see Ohio State fall behind Auburn. And maybe Notre Dame as well, because their best loss is better than our best win. Pollsters will be looking for some way to screw Ohio State. We'd better go 13-0 or we're out of the playoffs for sure.

Well, when the Dolphins are relegated, we can become the third NFL team in Ohio. That way, we don't have to worry about losing players to the draft.
