"O-H what could have been for Buckeyes"

ESPN headline. Still pisses me off that we lost to MSU and didn't get in the playoffs with this much talent.

Regardless, urban is 50-4 at Ohio State and they should be back in the playoff mix next year.

I don't understand the Big Ten hate this bowl season. 5-5 isn't great but it's not ACC bad.

Media does a pretty good job at calling the B1G terrible and then it permeates down to the plebs. The reality is, at worst, the B1G is the second best conference in the country.

Well, Sleeper was quoting Iqqy, who only posts here to be a "hilarioiusly" over-the-top bitch about everything in the most stupid ways possible.

I really don't feel anyway about any conference this season. These bowls all mostly had weird outcomes and the SEC was garbage during the regular season

Dumb by backup for Oregon....3rd and 7 and bad snap with 6:40 left and he picks it up and throws it away OB stopping the clock......should've taken sack and loss at midfield and let clock run down more.

Lol again Oregon backup doesn't understand time. Two times coulee taken a 1 yard loss instead of using up a minute

Need a TCU turnover but they'll likely score on the dead defense in less than 5 plays

Just like when Adams went down in the regular season, Oregon couldn't do anything without him tonight. Thought Lockie played well when Mariotta was out last year. Maybe not.

Conference records...

Southeastern 8-2
Pac-12 6-4
Conference USA 3-2
Big Ten 5-5
Mountain West 4-4
Sun Belt 2-2
Atlantic Coast 5-6
Mid-American 3-4
Big 12 3-4
American Athletic 1-5
Independents 0-2

SEC sets a record for most wins by a conference. Also, for as bad as they were last year, the SEC West bounced back by going 6-1 and all wins were by 21+ points. If not for the debacle going on at College Station, the West might have went undefeated.

If Clemson wins, the ACC goes 6-6.

Clemson also has 2 very good corners that can match up with Bamas receivers

SEC also set a record for shortest distance traveling outside the home state to the bowl sites.

Kinda shitty that Ms. Karma didn't completely fuck TCU over last night, she let Boykin off the hook...if Ore had been able to maintain what they started, some good Ol' TX rednecks may have been looking for a tall oak tree last night after the game.
