FSu dodged Virginia today.

And Temple dodged Cincinnati while Minnesota chickened out, ending a 113 year streak of playing Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Saban chickened out of losing his 3rd consecutive Iron Bowl while his players opted to move forward with playing the game.

I'm curious to see if the B1G is willing to change their current system should the Buckeyes not qualify for the B1G Title game.

Wisconsin would already be out.  I don't think they will,  that would be weak and I'm a buckeye.  No such rule for the playoffs though. 

No, there is not. But I really don't see the committee putting OSU in if they only play 5 games. I just think it undermines the entirety of the season and of the committee having to sort through all the factors this year. Don't misunderstand me, I (along with almost every CFB fan) are aware that Ohio St. is a top 4 team. I just don't believe they leave out an undefeated BYU or Cincinnati (or 1 loss Florida) in favor of a 5-0 OSU.

Considering no one played out of conference,  I don't know how anytime can say how good cincy or BYU is.  And do you really think  either wouldn't be smoked by Clemson or Bama? If the goal is to put the 4 beat in,  how do you put Cincy in there to lose by 35?

As I said, everyone thinks OSU is a top 4 team. Hell, we're all pretty damn sure of it. But they still have to show it on the field. And all I'm doing is using the same argument that Herbstreit used on GameDay this morning. Of the CFB guys, his is the opinion I generally respect the most. As of now, OSU has gone 4-0 against 4 teams with a combined record of 9-14. But if they should still be in based on what we think after 4 games, why risk injury and play another snap? Or after September any other year. And I don't mean this just for Ohio State, but any team.

All that said, I don't always buy into everything Herbie says. But I do disagree with a 5-0 team making it over 10-0 or 11-0....or even 9-1 teams.

fucked up season.  It sucks that Fields is missing all this time.  He's probably the most talented QB ever to play at Ohio State.

UGA looks like a totally different team offensively with JT Daniels at QB.  I hope he returns next year. Go Dawgs!

Everyone's beloved boy, Herbie, joins the asswipe parade, and then has to apologize.

These people are so fucking dumb.

That's Herbie being a homer. You hear that in the comments section of Eleven Warriors. 

If Homer = Dickbag, then we agree.

I happen to agree with this. Would you feel the same way if he were a former Notre Dame or Michigan player?

*edited to add "or Michigan"

No I would hate him every minute of the day since I'm a homer too.  I still hate Tom Brady and Brady Quinn.

That's right!  Same with Brian Kelly, and Ara Parseghian, and Knute Rockne.  I do like Gerry Faust though, because he sucked and is from Ohio.

I had fellow Irish fans texting me about that back when it was announced. And given the region I'm in, you can guess who they voted for. It was like they tried to use this story to sway my political opinion. Comically bad attempts.

And, here is a well written article detailing some of the reasons Dabo is being a donkey.

The whole problem was waiting until 2 1/2 hours before the game the cancel. I believe they were getting ready to head to the stadium when they got the news. Clemson offered to retest everyone and wait around a few extra days. Call it the night before, fine. Just seems odd to wait until 2 hours before game time to decide it isn’t safe to play, when Clemson followed all guidelines.
