OSU and the Big 10 only have the Big 10 to blame


Dec 9, 2020, 11:41 AM

First they say there will be a season and they even release a schedule. Then they say, nope, no season. Too risky. Too dangerous. Then, after the ACC, SEC, and others announce they're moving forward with a season, they change their mind and decide to have a season. They allow room for ONE cancellation and leave basically no room for games to be rescheduled. They require teams play 6 games to qualify for the championship game. Now they're in a bind, because their best team likely won't qualify for their championship game, which would severely hurt their CFP chances. They only have two options - keep things as they are and risk losing OSU in the CFP, or change their own rules (AGAIN!) so that their top dog can play in the championship game and make it to the CFP. Be consistent, or make an exception so that you can play along with the other big boys. That's pretty much it.

Had they stuck with their original plan, they wouldn't be in this mess. That's pretty much a guarantee. But they caved to political pressure. Had they consulted with the SEC and ACC on what their protocols were that made them comfortable proceeding with play, then they wouldn't be in this mess. If people knew that their decisions could be trusted as well-thought-out and final, then they wouldn't be in this same mess, but it would be known that rules are rules and OSU didn't qualify - simple as that.

What a joke of a conference leadership!

It would be fitting if they were left out even after they play and win the conference. "Sorry still not enough of a resume" Prob won't happen, but fun to think about. Hey a one loss Florida team? 2 ACC and 2 SEC teams would make a fun playoff for the south.

Why have a rule if you can just change it when it is convenient?
