Yeah its a joke. Can't wait for a few of them to have losing records at seasons end.

This no longer bothers me as much as it used to. The SEC is perpetually overrated and that's why I want OSU to always face the SEC champion every year in the CFP.

^^^This all day.

The playoff has changed things. I'd welcome Bama again, but who I'd really like to smash is The Hat and LSU on NYE.

I'll take whoever, but continuously beating Bama to a pulp is more fun than beating anyone else.

Not cocky. It's reality. Name a team that has enough talent to compete with OSU this year. There isn't one.

If people think OSU struggled against VTech, they need to get their eyes checked. That was a dominant performance inhibited only by self inflicted wounds. 100% of VTech's points were off turnovers. Zeek will not be returning punts and Dunn will not touch the ball ever again at OSU. The interception was pure luck rather than any credit to their defense.

The SEC can have the whole conference ranked.

The way the playoff is set up, it's going to be a miracle if any league ever gets 2 teams in the playoff.

As much as I root for the SEC, I can't say I disagree. The voters did a good job of evaluating their 4 teams pretty much as it should have been.

Now, if we expand to 8 teams, that obviously changes everything. And I believe it will change how some of these teams schedule. You will start seeing teams not in the top 2 or 3 leagues playing other tough teams OOC to build their resume.

I'm only saying beating Alabama once is not continously beating Alabama. I hope we have many championships to come but I don't expect them to win the next 10

yeah, especially when the all time series is 1-3 in Bama's favor, including a junkyard ass whoopin that the bear put on woody.

The past does not matter. It's 2015 and we have Urban Meyer.

Too early to tell on the next ten, but the next one is ours and I hope it comes with a thorough beating of Alabama.

There was no struggle per se Sleepster but the O-line did not dominate. Most of the yards came off the edge and interior blocking was serviceable at best. Huge improvements in getting Zeke free will need to happen if we meet Bama again.

The O-line was underwhelming but that is a unit that does improve with time. The Buckeyes will be hanging 70 on teams this year and Hawaii may be the first victim.

If they want to play a cover 0 bear front, you take what they give you on the outside.

Interestingly enough, the same thing was said about 2002 Miami team....how did that turn out for them?

Biggest difference is they were coached by Larry Coker....We're being coached by perhaps the GOAT (or at least in the discussion)

You and the rest of the world.

TCU looked like ass against an unranked, Bama beats on #20.

This. In case it was not noticed, it was tackle at the LOS or long gain.

You know me Big Chief...I only spout the clear and decisive truth. I'm even throwing you a bone this week...your Clowns will take down the NY Shits 31-17.

LOL at the Browns scoring 31 points against the Jets on the road.

I'd love to hear the last time the Browns won a road game by double figures and scored over 30...appears the last time was 2010.
