Ohio State -10 at Michigan

[KingKolzig]

Conference championship game is pointless

Buckeyes should play it conservatively

Dumb idea but not pointless as loser has to play the next week. And they will play a more rested lower ranked team

Retarded they should have eliminated this game

No doubt, waste of time

Pretty much went exactly as I said....I hated Ryan Day and OSU but I have a tremendous amount of respect and don't hate coach anymore for what he did after the game, not allowing players to plant the flag. Shows class, unlike the embarrassing display last year from the team I root for when the coach was nowhere in sight to stop it from happening. Can't stand our joke of a coach. We need a real one, and some big time step up in recruiting some WR.
Underwood stinks, can't believe he is/was #1 QB prospect, doesn't even look like top #100. Its going to be a long decade or so, recruiting gap is so wide its comical.
All other teams are tripping over one another (one week Georgia, one week Texas, one week Miami-FL, TxA+M this week, etc) no one will challenge OSU. Indiana had 1 win against Oregon, good, but didn't really play a tough schedule...again for the 2nd consecutive year. OSU in the bag for 2nd straight natty...yuck and congrats in advance to their fans.

I wouldn't give up on Underwood, he looked like shit but he's a freshman and went up against an epic defense. Michigan did go 10-3 but they do have a leap to make to catch Ohio St.

No they don’t have to play the next week

Ohio State has a bye locked up

Indiana probably does too

Should be a great game Indy Vs OSU...I mean how often do you get a conference title game that features #1 vs. #2? Answer: Never LOL.
At least the basketball team looks promising for UM. Love coach May.

*Stormy, your Bucks look good:
1) Yes, both IND/OhioSt likely have a bye locked up.
2) Sort of a lame game. Not much to play for.
3) Stock up for HC Day. They've now rattled off 16 straight wins.
4) I think the Michigan coaches look lame. That was their best?
5) How do you like your Bucks down the stretch? I'm pretty surprised that they could put all those guys into NFL and still repeat. QB/WR combo looks nice.

Loser wont get a bye

 

[stormtrooper8]

Loser wont get a bye

Yes they will

Ohio State is a 100% lock to get a bye

Unless it's like a 60-0 blowout

 

[KingKolzig]

If they lose like 35-20 their wins arent good enuff at all. 11-1 SEC teams will jump them

1) Agreed. Hard to see either team losing a bye. Indiana a slight chance if they get boat-raced, but think they are close to locked in.

2) Yep agreed

3) Michigan game last year changed him and the program for good. Just took them to a new level.

4) That's Michigan's best when they are forced to play by the rules/don't run into some injury luck. They just have always had an outdated philosophy, which is why they can't get the horses Ohio State gets

5) Anything can happen, but I like their chances to repeat. They lost a lot of talent from 2024, but they always seem to reload. I was not as high as I normally am on them entering the season, but I quickly became impressed. This team is more complete than last year: their defense is much better in LB/secondary, their WR's are elite as always and more mature, they have great TE and offensive line, defensive line has outperformed expectations. And above all, they've upgraded at quarterback pretty significantly (liked Howard but Sayin is much better). Only area they really dropped off from is the RB room, but even that is proving to be pretty damn good in its own right and their OL blocks very well.

I don't really care how the Big Ten championship goes; they may lose it or barely win after the big Michigan win. Just not sure they'll be as up for it (as much as they say they are).

I think they're gonna win it all if I had to guess

 

[stormtrooper8]

If they lose like 35-20 their wins arent good enuff at all. 11-1 SEC teams will jump them

No shot they'll drop out of top 4 in that scenario. They've been #1 all year, and they're not gonna get suddenly passed because they lost to #2 in a conference championship game.

They also aren't gonna lose to any team by 15 on a neutral field unless they don't play their starters

They also won't allow 35 in all likelihood. That's 5 touchdowns.

Their starters have allowed 5 touchdowns all season long.

 

[chuckythegoat2]

Good stuff, Storm:
1) Michigan is like a dinosaur. It's like they haven't updated their schemes at all.
2) Howard was very good in the PLAYOFF games. But you're right, Sayin is very good. Better than I expected for a 1st-time starter.

Loser of this game will not get a bye. One reason is that will make the game completely pointless maybe talk about it being dangerous/injuries

SEC title-bye
SEC 11-1- bye
T.Tech 11-1- bye

Dog fight/controversy #4 bye

lol yes the loser of the game gets a bye unless Indiana is absolutely torched then maybe they fall to 5. Doubtful though

Ohio State 100% is getting a bye

 

[stormtrooper8]

Loser probably falls to #3

 

[stormtrooper8]

If Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas Tech all win the top 4 will most likely be

1 Ohio State
2 Georgia
3 Indiana
4 Texas Tech

 

[KingKolzig]

Cant agree. Ohio state doesnt have a great win. If they lose to IU they fall out of a bye

Id bet on that. They would have lost to the only solid team played

Happy to wager on this if you want

Only two teams that could jump the loser are Georgia and Texas Tech . And Texas Tech is a stretch

 

[stormtrooper8]

It’s actually possible Ohio State and Indiana could still both be the top 2 seeds after the Big Ten championship game

Most likely the 1 and 3 seeds

 

[KingKolzig]

Not going to wager but still disagree. Going to watch the Cbs show today and see what they think about it. It has to be talked about its a major format fluke. Because if you are right then the game is pointless should start backups
