10 point spread is about right for that game. Ohio State could easily win though. Auburn presented the formula for beating Alabama and Ohio State has the tools to duplicate that plan.

Proving that it needs to be 8. Hell, when you have FIVE power conferences and FOUR playoff spots...derrr

As much as I despise Ohio State, it would have been equally as shitty if they were sitting at #5. They deserve a shot just as much as TCU and Baylor do.

I'm pretty sure it will be 8 before long. From what I understand the 4 is sort if a trial anyway.

the Suckeyes will get wooped by an SEC team in a bowl game again. it's as good of a guarntee as any Atlanta sports team getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

If I'm not mistaken, it is a 12 year deal. However, I can't imagine anyone complaining too much if that were to change in short order. More games = more money. And money is all that matters.

Bowlsby needs to just flip everyone the bird and say the B12 will have a CCG with only 10 members. With the P5 being granted a lot of autonomy, I don't see why he couldn't. Screw the NCAA.

Pretty much. What are they going to do, not count the Big12 team as champion? Oh that's right bowl selection is supposed to be independent of the ncaa.. What's the NCAA going to do? Throw out the big12? Fat chance.

Some people think the B1G had the Badgers throw the game so OSU would make the playoffs....Thoughts? I am a Wisconsin fan and dont buy it. Either way, I will be rooting ROLL TIDE! HATE OSU

Edit: Not War Eagle, WTF is wrong with me...lol I will be rooting AGAINST Auburn in that bowl game! LETS GO BADGERS!

Don't believe it

Don't believe it

Me either, the points they bring up could make "sense", but too much has to go into play and too many people have to sacrifice too much to throw a game. They are just upset, like I am, about them loosing 59-0

Don't feel to bad. Georgia does that every year but It's usually to someone they are double digit favorites over. :terry:

What I don't really like about this playoff system is it encourages teams to run up the score. I know the BCS was sort of like that also but margin of victory seems to be way more important now.
