He only shows up here when OSU loses. He has no one to root for, only roots against the Bucks. His favorite team has now won 6 games in 5 years.

KnightRyder still goes to all his high school's game (he graduated 10 years ago), so just ignore any of his comments regarding college football

But he's just a loser that wants attention. Ignore him and he'll go away.

early Heisman frontrunners... Darnold, Barkley, Hurts, ???

Mike Weber.

Baker Mayfield is a very good college QB. He isn't Johnny Manziel on the field. He won't play in the NFL. I also didn't understand why he gets nominated for the Heisman as a pure system QB if you're going to pick and choose. Lamar Jackson winning was dumb enough, but Mayfield over Jake Browning is also puzzling.

Well, if you have to have a good team to be a candidate, there will be plenty of good QB's.

Mayfield, Hurts, Browning, Darnold, etc.

Derrius Guice and Saquon Barkley will be the early RB's with a ton of hype.

However, it's hard to imagine Louisville doesn't ride Lamar Jackson just as hard next season. I'll bet he puts up the same or better overall stats.

He prolly will, but if one of the aforementioned players from a higher profile team does anything close, they'll win it...imo, Jackson gad a great season, but it almost feels he won be default. Also, I sure wish they'd wait until after the bowl games to vote--not sure why they don't.

Wrong, would like to guess again? Clemson is just another team that OSU cant beat

Only shows up after OSU losses. Thankfully we don't lose much and we don't need a rapist at QB to win national titles.

I thought Iowa was decent because they beat Michigan and they sucked. Penn state is looking OK. Wisconsin beat a fucking MAC team. If it was one team I might think they were still a good conference but they were all pretty fucking horrible. (Maybe I'm still feeling the shutout)

Well, if you want to look at these one-game bubbles, here are a few tidbits! The B1G was 3-7.

1. Three of those losses were unranked B1G teams against ranked opponents. They were 1-3 in those match-ups with Northwestern beating #23 Pitt, but Indiana lost to #19 Utah, Nebraska and their crappy back-up QB lost to #21 Tennessee and Iowa lost to #17 Florida. The only one of those, I'd call a bad loss was Iowa. Nebraska was 2 TD, but when I saw it wasn't Armstrong playing, that was a foregone conclusion.

2. They were also 1-3 in major bowl games against high-ranked opponents. YOU can call WMU a "fucking MAC team", but they were 2-0 against the B1G (including bowl-winning Northwestern) and arguably would have been the fifth-best B1G team this year if they'd been in that conference (behind OSU, PSU, Mich and Wisc, with Minn and Neb at, barely above or barely below them), so that's still a quality win, if not an exceptional one. PSU and Michigan were in evenly-matched games that went down to the wire and were essentially coin flips. OSU was the only bad loss.

3. They were 1-1 when no one was ranked, although I'd say Minnesota's win was noteworthy just because half the team was suspended.

3-7 sucks, but two of the marquee match-ups could have gone either way and the conference was stuck in the position of underdog in most of the intermediate bowls. Ohio State doesn't look like shit in their game and they got 1-of-2 between Michigan and PSU and it would have been a successful bowl year. Instead, it's a blah one that looks worse on paper than in reality, especially considering the number of regular-season quality wins teams in the conference had.

All I am saying is the roles were reversed, and it was the SEC who just went through what the Big10 did, people in B10 country and on this site would be lambasting the SEC as being overrated.

I can live with that. I really thought OSU and Michigan were really good this year. I'm not shocked Clemson won, but I'm still pretty surprised they shut them out. I thought Penn st was good but when the game started so poorly I gave up, then they came back and I started to believe and then they choked at the end.
