Congrats Buckeyes! They deserved it and were undoubtedly the best team this season as a whole

Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs
- Thread starter MtnBuff
- Start date
To be fair there was about 9:30 left
- make the 4th down
- score a TD
- make the 2 pt conversion
- stop OSU
- score another TD
- convert another 2 pt conversion
- stop OSU again
- win in overtime
If you kick, you have to score twice, but no 2pt conversions, no OT, and the rest is basically the same. I think the math works out.
Ryan Day is a tool
A whole lot more Roster Quality and he has some pretty darn good Assistants
Feels like Dabo 3.0

Not anywhere close to the level of Cunk on Earth.
In case anyone needed any motivation - JD Vance went to OSU and was passing on the evening’s festivities to be able to watch the game to root for OSU.
My bad. You are correct.
Go Buffs!
What like about this even more is we finished in front of 9 game winners, LSU and Louisville, both of which won their last 3 in a row where as we lost 2 of our last 3.

Ohio State went through a tough slate to win the Championship so there should be no controversy.
Overall I think College Football has to do some fine tuning on the playoff system. I am not sure that you want to keep the conference championship games - none of the conference champions got out of the second round. Trying to protect the conference champions ended up with a ridiculous seeding scenario. Do it more like College BB and seed on merit. Neither ASU and Boise deserved a bye, IMO. Just because you win a conference should not give you a #1 seed.

OSU beat every team in the top 5 (I include OSU in that list as they beat themselves against Michigan) and six of the top ten, all but one of those games by two scores. That's pretty damn impressive.
Move Army/Navy to the week before current week 0. Make it the only game that day, big spectacle. Start of college football.
That gives back 1 week.

Give conference champions spots, but don't hand them byes.
I don't have an issue with ASU getting a bye, but Boise had no business getting that bye. We'd have been better off sending tOSU or ND to the Fiesta Bowl and letting Indiana or Tennessee host Boise.
Another thing with bowl season....we can play bowls like whatever the **** the game the John Denver fan club (aka West Virginia) played in was called to Sundays.

My kid and I were watching last night and he was talking about who he was rooting for (literally changed twice) and asked who I was rooting for. I told him that with just a couple of exceptions, if either of these teams were playing anyone else, I would be rooting for the other team instead of OSU or ND.
He was like, "So CU?"
"Of course."
"And CSU?"
"Well..."
"Oh, but Arizona or Arizona State?"
"Well...."
That's when I realized I am a petty, petty, petty college football fan.

Do both. Zero reason for Army/Navy to be its own week at the end of the season.
Plenty of reasons for the schools who actually play the game (and schedule it) to play it when they do. Sorry it doesn't fit anyone else's agenda.
The service academies think of football much more differently than any other school does. It's about teaching lessons to both the players, and also the other students, that they are expected to utilize throughout their careers as military officers.
It's not about advertising, alumni relationships, fund raising, media revenue, exposure, or any of the other things that you and I normally think of that are true for civilian universities.
It's about using football as a team sport to train military leaders, and that mission is not accomplished by a week zero game.
Letting your son make the picks paid off, congrats!
I'm not seeing the connection from the last three paragraphs to the plenty of reasons that the game should be played the week after the CCGs.
