Not me. I think this is very very bad for us. There was already chatter about putting Michigan ahead of us when we were undefeated and they had one loss, but the fact that their one loss was to us kept us ahead of them. Ohio State now has a completely dominant win over a common opponent that we beat by 7 in week one. Do you guys really trust the committee to keep them behind us?

I think y'all are putting WAY too much stock in the Purdue game. I think the fact that it was such a blowout actually helps OSU because the committee is more likely to see it as an outlier.

If they’re gonna keep us out for some one loss teams they’re gonna find a way to do it regardless imo,... I doubt it, we win tonight and we are good.

Bit it's not just the Purdue game. It is also Nebraska and especially Maryland as that was just last week.

No way OSU passes us.

The PU loss was pretty bad. Our 7 pt win (which was not as close as the score) was in the first week, and one could argue we are a lot better now. So, for right now, I don't seen much talk of OSU over ND...

Now if pOSU goes and beats NW by 30+ points (triple our margin), then the talk will go full tilt. Even then, I don't think it will be enough if we beat USC by 20+ tonight. If we look like ass, well....

Mascots are an Elephant and Tiger, yet “war eagle” and “roll tide”. Shit makes zero sense. Lol.

I agree with you all on what SHOULD be. I'm saying I don't trust the committee. I don't think they're anti-ND, I just think they're random and full of shit.

Gotcha - and your fear is probably reasonable...

Multiple stories of how both (elephant and war eagle) came to be. Not even the schools are sure.. Did you know that Bama used to be referred to as the Red Elephants? lol

I'm honestly not sure why Alabama's offense is so successful. Tua's long balls are noodle-arm rainbows.

This game and the Purdue game were both outliers. OSU is a team that wins by one possession consistently against mediocre teams.

Either way we can argue we were playing our backup QB and back up RB against Michigan and we're a better team now.

It's not 2012. On a neutral field I'd favor Alabama by 14 or so over us. I just don't think Tua's as good as he's made out to be. Obviously he's good enough for the most talented team in CFB to be undefeated.

Another shitty ball bailed out by the WR. Our safeties are so much better than Auburn's which isn't a sentence I thought I'd ever say.

Tua has made his living this year throwing up 50/50 balls and hitting wide open WR's. I'm not saying he sucks, I'm just saying I don't think he's as great as the media, particularly the SEC homer CBS announcers, make him out to be.

In their tacky ass 1986 CBS-branded sport coats, probably autographed by Jim Nantz.

I do like the elephant though. He makes me laugh.

i agree he's not the NFL pro bowler they paint him to be, but he is very good, and makes good decisions for the most part. it's easier to be good when you are surrounded by 5 stars lol.

Not watching, but, it sounds like what you're saying, is... "Book better :p"

Suck it, Bama
