100% agree! Maybe they are that good, but how can anybody say? This is OSU BS at its finest. Anyway you slice it, it doesn't fit the smell teat, but I say, "line 'em up, and tell us who we have to play". We seem to fare pretty well against "The Ohio State". They crow like they were Cola chickens, but they, certainly, haven't had much to crow about in quite a while when playing the real TIGERS. I expect this year to be no different. Funny, but after our games with them, the excuses start rolling in. Excuses won't matter, mind you, but pundits will try to excuse the failure, anyway. Some things never change. And, oh by the way, I know ESPN was hoping, beyond all hope, that Trevor and 5 of our Defensive studs would be out so ND could eek out a win again this time around. They are going to be sorely disappointed.

Past does not matter... Tigers need to beat the F off ND


Dec 8, 2020, 11:03 PM

I dont care who's ranked what anymore. CU needs to be in final 4 for CFP (and then win it all).

So easy said. So so unfair pressure on Dabo and the team !

I have become that bad. Sorry.

I agree with your sentiment, but remember, “strength of record” is not the same as “strength of schedule”.

CFP Committee's quandry...


Dec 8, 2020, 8:10 PM

They can't let tOSU in without a quality loss, even though they have ONE quality win against IU! Clemson has a quality loss (ND) and a quality win (MIA), and after we whip the Domers in two weeks, we'll have TWO quality wins and a quality loss. The Domers will then have ONE quality win and ONE quality loss. If Florida beats Bama in the SECCG, then both teams will have quality losses and quality wins... so, based on the logic of the ESecPN bobbleheads for the last 5 years, tOSU is O-U-T!

Go Tigers.

Dec 8, 2020, 8:24 PM

And of course, both secheat teams automatically are in. I don't really care who gets in, other than us, because I think we are perfectly capable of beating whoever we play. That said, our OL must show up. They are the key, and they have been MIA at times this year, so that is my main concern. I'm not afraid of our competition, at all. I'm afraid we don't provide the protection Trevor needs to dissect whoever we line up against. Oh, and by the way, I am counting on our defense to be up to snuff. JMHO

Re: CFP Committee's quandry...


Dec 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

I'm with you - don't really care who else. We know a few things: 1. we win and we are in and we lose and we are out, as we should be. 2. Bamma is in no matter what 3. ND is in no matter what - well the only way they are out is if FL beats Bama and both AL and FL are in AND we take ND to the woodshed and OSUcks gets handed the Big 10 champ by rule change. I don't see any other way ND is out.

Like you my point of concern is the OL. Not overly worried about our D - in regulation, we gave up 26 points (7 were scored by their D) and 7 more came on the first drive when we weren't ready to play - for whatever reason AND the last 7 came against our second team (what at least 6 starters out?). DJ was fantastic but with TL we have the passing game (hopefully some receivers back for more depth), ETN as always and the threat of the QB run which we did not have in ND game one. Just a lot more for their D to worry about this time around. After DJ apparently won the game and we stopped them, you tell me we can't get ONE first down and/or run more clock with Trevor in there?

Going to be fun to watch - GO TIGERS

ENTIRE body of work for all of the teams, but for OSU they saw Justin Fields play well in two games, so that's enough for them. Literally what he is saying here.

The fix is in, boys!

Ryan Day's whining works. Screw OSU. Would love to whup them yet again.

With OSU thrown in there at 4th, the head line should be, OSU ranked #4 in the updated Payoff poll!!!

So OhSt opponents are 14-19, one at 0.500


Dec 9, 2020, 8:22 AM

or above, while our opponents are 40-37 5 at 0.500 or above.

So 33 games total played versus 77 games total played (I took out Citadel from this since they aren't P5).

I am not a statistician but do they have enough information to say OhSt is one of the 4 best?

Good grief I hate them more and more.
