I can understand the OH love, by why ND?

Maybe Ohio State shows up at the stadium with cutouts of the Michigan players and Harbaaw. Or Urban Meyer accepts the HC when Harbaugh leaves, then backs out due to illness. Or an Ohio recruit commits and withdraws on SD to sign with The state university. They first played in 1918 in the middle of the Influenza Pandemic. Any skunkbear images with a yellow stripe?

1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic Made Ohio State – Michigan History

Ohio State is "in talks" with the Big Ten about either a substitute or changing the six game rule.

This is pure bullshit and the only thing that would be more egregious would be if the CFP committee actually considered OSU after a move like this.

B1G will 100% change the rule or find some other way to get tOSU into their championship game. What else are they gonna do, let Northwestern and Indiana play it so tOSU can stay healthy for the playoff? Oh wait...they could do that too...

I love this "stain" on Michigan. This will last a long time. Please keep Harbaugh forever!!!

Wouldn't be mad about that if we were to lose BK.....after he wins a natty or two

I hate Ohio State, but everyone has been making up rules on the fly all year. The ACC is straight up protecting ND and Clemson at this point with the scheduling changes... it's no different than the B1G changing things to protect OSU's chances at making the playoff, imo. You're doing what you think is most beneficial to the conference.

Now, I'd be pissed if I were Indiana, getting teased with the idea of fulfilling the 'games-played' obligation and sneaking into the B1G title game over OSU, but they also lost straight up to OSU, so their argument is kind of weak in that regard.

If I were running the B1G, I definitely wouldn't be okay with hanging my CFP hopes on one-loss Indiana getting enough love from the committee AND taking care of business in the title game.

If I were running the B1G, I wouldn’t have been a cuck and would have started the season in September. Problem solved. They created this issue by pretending to care about the players safety.

No way IU is deserving to be considered a TOP 4 in the country .. winning the BIG or not. They are having a good season, but come on now ... time to get real!

Not suggesting they deserve to be top 4, but they barely got beat on the road at OSU. What does that say about OSU?

Personally, I always give home field advantage a +7. So in my book, they were even. I view the ND/Clemson game the same.

Absolutely true. Should've started along with everybody else instead of trying to look high-and-mighty by "getting it right"... which has totally fallen apart with no wiggle room in the schedule and the virus effecting them anyway.

*Extremely Stephen A. Smith Voice*: HOWEVER.

Ohio State was one of the schools pushing to make the season happen from the start, along with Nebraska (LOL), so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this one time. I think they'd have run roughshod over a full 12-game schedule this year (unless Purdue was scheduled for a night game in West Lafayette).

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Man, you guys sure take the B1G's football scheduling decisions personally.

OSU is in a place where a loss would get them in the CCG but a canceled game keeps them out. It's a bad rule that's obviously led to a result nobody thinks is fair in and of itself.

Would there be a similar controversy over the rule if it wasn't OSU on the outside? I can't say. But the current situation is obviously an oversight due to a series of hasty decisions.

IMO, a one loss Texas A&M and an undefeated Cincy team is more deserving than IU, especially if you use the "eye test" that the committee always refers to. Florida would be too, but after Bama takes care of business with them, they'll just be another casualty of the Tide juggernaut and be sitting there with a 2nd loss.

I've watched all of them a fair amount. IU wins the eye test over TAMU to me. TAMU, besides the Florida win, just hasn't looked all that great. FL to me, is great on O, not good on D. That game FL/TAMU was early and pretty weird.

I agree on Cinci.

 

[phork]

Don't forget that IU is without Penix now.

And lets be clear, the ACC is kneeling before Dabo because Clemson doesn't want to go to FSU. ND gets the benefit because they could claim clear bias by make the Irish play Wake and allowing Clemson to skip FSU.

The BIG should just announce a 4 team playoff. OSU vs NW, IU vs Iowa, boom, problem solved. I do not believe that if OSU was to lose they would still be in the playoff.

Or have OSU play Texas AM this weekend since they are both open. These clowns can't pretend that it can't happen when BYU v CC happened in days.

I just hate the fact that if ND loses there is a chance they get left out, no matter the score.

When independence screws us, the B1G doesn't come to our defense. So when comically bad conference decision-making screws members, that's the bed they made and I hope it hurts them.

But that would go against the rules they set and are currently already trying to break to get OSU in the conference championship game!

They can get it done, but they won't because of too much P5 conference logistics. Money drives this even though it would be a phenomenal game, but Ohio St won't do it due to it being an elimination with them having nothing to gain.

But it would get them a game likely better than anyone I. Their conference then they would get a ranked iowa next week.
Better than no one at all this week.

 

[NDRock]

I hope they go 5/6-0 and make the playoffs. Will never have to hear about ND’s 13th data point again.

Maybe pre-COVID, not so much this year. IU is also now playing with their backup QB which can't sit favorable with the committee.

The ACC thing was about Clemson, not Notre Dame.
