They lost to Ole miss, and were getting waxed in that game till late. Yet on the show they say if you watched the game Bama was better. They needed 17 in 4th quarter to beat Arkansas...

I just don't understand the obsession with Bama. I don't think they suck, just see no reason why they are in top 4. Now if they win Saturday then it'll be hard to argue.
Makes me wonder if they did it purposely for that game Saturday. 2 vs 4, the first week of the rankings? Pretty damn intriguing. But I agree with you.

Alabama is ridiculous...nothing about their resume is impressive...obviously a win over LSU would change that

No...according to Sleeper, the CFP committee has no reason to do that because they wouldn't have any reason to compromise the integrity of the sport since ESPN has already signed the agreement.

Notre Dame being ranked 5th is much more laughable than Bama being 4th.

Was just going to post this. Burrows jumping Collier is pretty big for him. Good chance he's the #2 QB next year providing Cardale leaves.

Minnesota will take away Zeke and force Cardale to beat them throwing. With his 7 mediocre or worse starts, I would go with Miller who takes reps as a QB every week in practice anyway. Now let the bashing and telling me what an idiot I am begin.
Not going to bash you or tell you that you are an idiot, but I believe it is clear at this point that Braxton's shoulder can't handle throwing the ball. He hasn't attempted one pass when lined up at the QB position and when warming up with JT on the sidelines, he was throwing underhanded back to JT. Maybe I am making more of that than what the situation is, but two shoulder surgeries on your throwing shoulder, not good. I don't think Urban will risk losing Braxton by playing him at QB and him possibly re-injuring his shoulder for just one game against Minnesota that Cardale should be able to win, albeit not pretty.

That was my guess but didn't know. We play Watterson next Friday in the regional semis and Urban's son is on that team....hoping for a guest appearance but unlikely.

Why do they insist on late games for all these mediocre fucking teams?

Rutgers at night, Minnesota at night?

I miss having nice afternoon games and then being able to go on with my day.

Now I won't even be able to watch the game because I will be watching Bama/LSU.

The Buckeyes know how to suck the life out of their fan base and ruin the novelty of a night game.

Also, LMAO @ those ticket prices. "Dynamic" pricing at the fucking college level. I have seen it all now.

What's the difference between big time college and the NFL anymore honestly? Also that is a horrible fucking home schedule

You must not be an OSU fan. I don't care what games are happening when my team is playing...I watch my team.

And if you are an OSU fan...why would you complain about prime time games nearly every week? That's fucking retarded.

I'm all about the early games but I don't mind primetime either.

Why? Because I'm not a miserable geriatric loser.

Only reason I dislike the prime time games is because I have to work at 4 AM on Sunday's. But that usually doesn't stop me from watching them.

I'm assuming Iggy hasn't experienced the Shoe at night. Regardless of the opponent, the atmosphere is awesome.
