Will Ohio State make the playoffs this year?
I sincerely hope not.
Ohio State will lose to NorthWestern....................
If anything give UCF a contender to play against so they just shut up..please give them the team at the fifth spot.
OSU will not get in over Oklahoma
They deserve in if they win! But the committee will do all they can to keep em out! OHIO AGAINST THE WORLD!!!
Another oculus ad🙄
*KEEP RUNNING*
Such a creepy ad
Oh no she’s never getting out
You too, eh?
Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Ohio State are ALL better than Notre Dame
OU should have beat Texas, Georgia should have beat LSU, and OSU should have beat Purdue. ND is 12-0. Get over it
@@PQwhatitdo Agreed. This dude doesn't know shi* from bricks. If Georgia is so good then why did they lose to LSU that has an anemic offense? Bama and Clemson are a bit better...but that's why they're ranked higher. OU and OSU have no defense. They're great on offense though, but they're not complete teams.
Patrick Quinlan 30-3.
I agree 100% when he says the idea of losing your last game and still getting in is absurd. You lose your Championship game that's it! You're out.
Conference Championships are not created equal.
Jamarey Carter exactly. Klatt makes no sense. It’s not a playoff of conference champions it’s a playoff of the four best teams.
Notre Lame should be banned from the championship game for life. Nobody tryna see them get blown out by 50 again. Actually I wouldn't mind seeing that ONE more time just to rub it in LOL
Blaise no one really does but that doesn’t change that they deserve to be in
I do! I enjoy watching Notre Dame getting blown out on national television.
Mike Coy Only 3 times they've been blown out on national TV in this decade have been last year's Miami game with an inconsistent offense and a shoddy defense, 2013s USC game, and the 2012 National championship game that should never have been (since it should have been ND vs. tOSU.)
OU got smoked in the title game by USC in 2005 they were in the playoff last year. OSU got smoked by Florida in 06 they won the title in 2014... your stupidity is bountiful.
you're just a hater
Joel Klatt 24 hour network needs to happen
Dan G he'd just be downing the sec and acc 24 hours... No thanks
Lmfaooooo
Do you think that Klatt is right when he says that teams should have to win there conference to get in? For example, let's say #1 Alabama is playing #4 Georgia in the SEC Championship game and let's say that Bama loses by a walk off 54yrd field goal as time expires. In that scenario Alabama would have the best loss against the #4 team in the country which would be better than all the other 1 loss teams. So would you still think that Bama wouldn't deserve to get into the CFP? But on the other hand a 7-5 Pitt team who let's say beats Clemson would? This is the reason I'm not a fan of Klatts theories and opinions on the CFP because to me he doesn't use logic but I do like Klatt the man though.
@@tjadams1089 exactly, FACTS!!
No thanks
I love Joel's passion enthusiasm and passion for the 8-team playoff and the attitude of earning it on the field. He is
right! I would expand that they should take out the bowls from the
equation from hosting because the Big 10 will never have an advantage
traveling wise with this current system. Frankly, last year at #4 seed,
Alabama essentially played a home game in the Sugar Bowl (the Sugar Bowl
is a SEC Bowl Game) against Clemson despite Clemson being the #1 seed. A
playoff you are supposed to have home field advantage when you are the
#1 seed. Have the first round and 2nd round on campus and have the Final
4 at 1 site like the NCAA Basketball tournament. This way you will have
teams from the SEC/ACC/PAC-12 coming to the winter weather and playing
cold weather games. And don't tell me they wouldn't sell well because
Michigan hosts outdoor hockey matches at the Big House and they sell
out. This system needs to be readjusted and balanced. It can't be
favored towards one conference because of the television deal they have
with ESPN/ABC.
Personally I hate this notion of "let the best team in" and not the most deserving. The reason you play the games is because you never know who will win, you can't just eyeball a team and say they are just better on paper. You'll get the same teams every year since every year the same teams recruit better than other teams so they are better on paper.
Let’s face it if Georgia wins, Alabama is still in. I hate Alabama but no one in their right mind can’t deny they are to good to not include in playoffs. OhioState lost to un ranked Purdue and Oklahoma defense is dumpster.
I completely disagree. Bama's only real win is against an overrated LSU team. If Bama loses, they shouldn't get in.
American Titan Notre dame beat Michigan by 7 so Ohio state should get in over them? Clearly osu is the better team
The H-Train no one cares if you disagree. To argue Alabama isn’t one of the best four teams in the country is just stupid, regardless of the winner of the SEC championship game.
@@coreyh9175 No one cares about your opinion. You're wrong.
I think the actual results this weekend have to be factored in. If Bama loses by 10 and OU blows out Texas, I think you have to go with Oklahoma. Even if they lose a nailbiter, if OU or OSU deliver a dominant performance and show improvement in the flawed portions of their game, the committee needs to at least consider leaving Alabama out. They haven't played any strong offenses this season and have sleepwalked through stretches of the last couple games. Now, I think they're the best team to this point in the season and I really don't see them losing to Georgia, but I hope that the specifics of how these championship games unfold are taken into account.
Nobody is better than Joel.
Lol so no one is going to mention how alike klatt and Meyer look in the thumbnail
If you can't even win your own conference how do you deserve to go to the playoffs? This shouldn't even be a debate. The playoff should be every conference champ goes and then have some at larges. Its that simple.
Bama could lose 60-0 and they'd still get a playoff invite. I don't think Georgia will beat them so it doesn't matter, but their conference championship is completely irrelevant.
Harry Garris when’s the last time you saw Bama lose 60-0? 30-0? 30-10?
@@catharticwicks I don't know but I'm sure it happened in the early 2000s. Bama was going through a pretty rough stretch before Saban got there.
Harry Garris this playoff committee didn’t exist back then, if Bama loses by a couple scores the comittee won’t leave out a one loss big 12 or big 10 champion
William Lemons you’re crazy if you’re saying Bama doesn’t get in. The committee proves every year they always lean on Bama and rightfully so
@@harrygarris6921 Even when Alabama was going thru tough times NO ONE ever beat them 60 to 0. They did get beat 31 to 0 by LSU with Nick Saban as the LSU coach in 2002 , that was the worst loss by far during all of those years.
why nick disrespecting memphis like that? does he not realize that ucf only beat memphis 31-30? lmao if it weren’t for poor game clock management by memphis then they could have kicked a FG and won the ball game
Is it me or does Joel and Urban Meyer both look like they could be siblings or that they could just be the same person. Lol
i like joel klatt
It has to be a combination of the best teams and the most deserving teams, otherwise why play the regular season? With that combination, if they all win out, I think it should be Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State.
Ultimate Warrior no it should just be the most deserving
Kiwi Aka the only fruit John likes 30-3
Remember when Joel Klatt believed Michigan St was better then Syracuse
7INEntertainment you can’t really blame him, state usually is better and state was only bad because most injuries in cfb.
Not making excuses just stating the obvious, Syracuse is having a nice year.
Remember when Joel Klatt believed Michigan was better than ND? Like after ND had beaten them he still believed that?
I look forward to seeing murray in the green:)
Even if they lose to GA...which is a statistical improbability...They ARE the best team in the game and will still make the playoff.
Dk how is that statistical improbability? (i’m curious no hate)
Vefek Well Alabamas offense is top 5 in the nation, and the defense is barely outside that but kept two ranked opponents in a row off the scoreboard in consecutive weeks while Georgia’s offense scored around 12-15 points per game less than Alabama, and their defense gave up more ppg than Bama’s did. Also, Vegas odds have Bama at a 13 point favorite right now. I don’t hate Georgia and I’m not saying its outside the realm of possibility for GA to win, but it’s statistically improbable.
Facts
You need to ask Nick Saban OSU's chances, because he is in total control, not the playoff committee. Saban will decide who is in and the committee has nothing to say about it.
Just in January, Joel said that a Conference champ isn't always the best or most deserving, but now he said otherwise.... He needs to clarify if his stance has changed and why...
Brian Kellahan Link him saying that. Because he’s always said that you shouldn’t get in if you don’t win your conference. He said Ohio State should’ve been in over Alabama last year.
@@gmslayerhalovideos2277 I was mistaken because I confused statement with what he stated on playoff expansion on the Cowherd show back in Feb. I am man enough to admit when I am mistaken or wrong about something.
The last time he was on Cowherd, he was arguing for Michigan to a have a higher seed than ND even though ND had beaten them in the season earlier on a head to head and also in the only same opponent, ND had won by higher margins. He was sticking to it because Michigan had a superior defense and was playing better. Safe to say, his prediction for Michigan’s fate was wrong. Now he’s saying Bama won’t get in if they lose to Georgia. Dumb.
I honestly know much about UCF's backup but without their starting QB this would be a bad time for them to go. Everyone would use a bad loss as an example that group of 5 should never get in.
They could have Joe Montana and they wouldn't deserve a playoff spot they play nobodies if you gave ucf's schedule to any top 10-15 school They would go unbeaten for a century if they want a playoff spot have them schedule a top team in the regular season and beat them until then they dont even deserve to be in the conversation
CC ain't say nothing lol
By the way UCF is the Knights, the Golden Knights is an NHL team. And UCF's only chance of getting in the playoff is if Georgia, Ohio St, and Oklahoma lose.
To be fair, they were the golden knights like 10 years ago. Dropped the golden at some point.
Nick F haha true, I only say it because it's my school
The Golden Knights are also Army's parajumping team, but w/e.
How does OU get the preference...? Their defense will give up 70 points in the playoffs I don't understand how they can ignore an historically bad defense
I think Michigan’s problem along with Ohio’s State having better athletes, is just the style. Michigan isn’t an offense built to win in shootouts. They need to become more flexible. Have a multiple face/front offense. That way you can mold and shape the game plan to win against any style or type of defense or team
Due to Bama's weak schedule, if they lose they will be out!
What legacy?
To exclude Bama from the playoff because of a lost to GA (number 4) would just be wrong. It doesn't matter when you lose. "Making Bama earn it against GA", what about wins over MST, LSU, TAMT. If Bama loses, it would be the best loss of all top 10 teams by far. Plus, why reward a conference champ when they lose to a sub-par team during the season but then wins their conference when the opponent in the champ game is sub-par as well. Texas....really? 8-4 Nortwestern....really? Winning a conference isn't always that impressive.
Bishop Edwards Again, Bama's ONLY quality win is against (pretty much) tOSU's 3rd string offense. So, if they beat Georgia, they get in. If they lose, they are 1-1 against quality opponents, whereas tOSU is 3-0 against quality opponents.
@@davidpfeffer6505 Bama's SOR would disagree. Any unbiased watcher would admit that LSU, MSST and TAM are good teams. Not only that, Bama dismantled everyone they played. MSST beat Kansus, LSU beat Miami and GA, TAM lost to CLem only by 2.
Bishop Edwards wow, MSST beat 3-9 Kansas? And LSU (tOSU's 3rd string offense) beat 6-6 Miami? And Texas A&M lost by 2 points to the possible champion of the worst, by far, power 5 conference in college football? Those are the points you are using to beef up Alabama's schedule? Seriously?
@@davidpfeffer6505 You may not give these teams any credit but real fans of football do. I mention those games because everyone seems to forget how the first two week of the season was dominated by SEC in non-conference games.
I think we should have a 6 team playoff with #5 and #6 teams playing each and #3 and #4 playing each other, with the top two teams #1 and #2 automatically advancing in the first round similar to the like the nfl playoffs. 5 conferences champions and other teams going undefeated. This year ALABAMA AND CLEMSON ARE THE TOP TEAMS BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS ON THE SAME PLAYING FIELD. NOTRE DAME, OHIO STATE, GEORGIA, and OKLAHOMA should make up 3-6 spots...maybe include UCF by taking ohio state and Oklahoma out just to shut them up.
Ucf shouldn't ever be considered for a playoff spot even if it went to 10 teams they're a joke Notre dame shouldn't be in it they dont even play a conference championship game they are just gonna get blew out the first round it should be the winner of the sec Ohio state Clemson and Oklahoma
Joel Klatt was devastated watching his #1 defense sweetheart Michigan get mauled by Ohio St. I wonder if Klatt still thinks they should be ranked higher than ND still because they were “playing better”
If Clemson, OU, Bama, and Ohio State go down does this mean UCF can call their travel agent and say, Santa Clara? LOL
Maybe if all 4 planes crash and somehow all the other schools can't make it then sure y not
I like Utah more than Oklahoma.
If Alabama loses by 7 or less then they still deserve to go. Last year is a perfect example of it. They didn't win their conference but were in fact the best team in the country.
So Bama should be automatically eliminated for getting their first loss in an extra 13th game against the #4 team, but Ohio State is allowed to lose by 30 to a 6-6 Purdue and still have a shot? Why do so many people willingly promote recency bias? How is finishing an amazing season by losing once to a great team considered worse than being so underwhelming all year to the point you get blown out by an average team?
It's your turn it happened to o state a year or two ago they had a great season lost a late game to a good school and got eliminated from the playoffs I agree it should be changed but it's it's ok for everyone else it's ok for bamma
@@jordanwillett8456 you're referring to 2015 when they lost to MSU. that year was a lot closer with more good, contending teams whereas this year everyone is questioning what's worse #5 OU's defense or # 6 OSU's inconsistency. plus MSU beat them on the road with their backup QB. This year's Bama team is the first team since 1888 to beat all 12 opponents by 20+ points, and they have more wins vs ranked opponents than any other team in the top 6. There is no logical reason to leave them out except not winning their conference, which the committee has already proven is okay with 2016 OSU and 2017 Bama because its about getting the 4 best teams. Bama is clearly a top 4 team, unless they somehow get blown out this week.
Bama is in Win or Lose. The game itself is a waste of time in general.
if all the favorites lose, Im thinking Michigan or UCF
Steve Wolgamot Me too as a Michigan fan I’m hoping for this to happen
These playoffs are absurd! Head to head: ND beats MI 24-17. OSU beats MI 62:39 (and 14 of those points were just give up touchdowns.) OSU beats MD 52-51. Texas LOSES to MD 34-29 - and Texas beats OU! The rankings should be 1) Alabama 2) Clemson 3) Ohio State 4) OU 5) ND and 6) Georgia. Conference championships should count! ND has continuously decided to stay independent. Good for them, but there should be repercussions for not winning a conference championship when that's 25% of the decision for the committee. All 4 of the top 4 I have listed SHOULD win... but should GA win, then they take Alabama's spot. Done. If two should lose - say Alabama and OSU, then you take Clemson, Georgia, OU, and ND. No matter the case, conference championships should be the first round of playoffs. If a 1 loss team, or a no loss team goes down in those, then you invite other undefeated teams into the playoff. That should not be the end all be all.... Suppose Bama lost to LSU - but went 11-1 but had to sit out. And GA was 9-3 but beats LSU in the conference championship, then that should open the door for Bama to move in. Either way, to suggest that bama should still be included even losing the last game is absurd. To take a non conference champion (ND) over a one loss team such as OU or OSU should they win, is absurd.
Josh Peters ok let’s see if you want to do that eastern Michigan beats purdue Purdue beats Ohio state it’s a dumb argument by that eastern Michigan>Ohio state of Oklahoma beats army who beats eastern Michigan who beats Ohio state Oklahoma>Ohio state
Michigan state almost lost to Rutgers Rutgers also almost beat penn state who didn’t play Alabama.
Rutgers #1
Alabama out of the playoff
Lil Lit how is it not
Josh Peters that’s all fine and dandy that you mention they “need a conference championship to be considered” even though there have already been one loss non-conference champions that have still made the top 4 in recent history
That guy's nothing but "full of it" with the comment of bringing-in more "flawed" teams! Let's see what Ohio State does to Northwestern vs. what Notre Dame did. Look at some other comparisons with Notre Dame and, then, explain how that undefeated team isn't flawed. And, that's with the Refs helping them through the season!
I like Joe but I’m sorry man, I gotta call you out on this one. Unless Bama is absolutely dominated by GA (which they won’t be) then they are gonna be in the playoff. They are clearly the best team in the country. Also you say that you didn’t like them getting in last year but they WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP ANYWAY. What you’re saying doesn’t make sense.
If Buckeyes smash Northwestern,bama wins,and Oklahoma loses or struggles against Texas...Bucks are in.
I say keep Notre dame out until they join a conference. I gotta feeling Texas is going to beat Oklahoma again. Bama beats Georgia 30 the 17
8 team playoff
So Harbow is responsible for bringing in kap?makes sense that he had a part in almost Ruining professional football
Haskins might deserve to go to New York but I really don't get the point. Tua and Kyler are just so far ahead of everyone else.
I disagree I believe Haskins is right there with Kyler and tua. You take tua from bama this year bama still competes for playoff. Remove Haskins and OSU has a 4 to 5 lose season and one of the worst urban Meyer lead seasons of his career .
Bama is in regardless let's b real they can lose 2 games this season and be in not a big game for them but a big game for Georgia
buckeye beat down coming at northwestern saturday
Accept better students.
For anyone who defends Jim Harbaugh tell me what his best win is at Michigan?
I would still rather have Jim Harbaugh than the rich rod/Hoke Era, sure Harbaugh needs to learn to adapt and maybe let go of the offense playcalling and go get a big 12 mind at OC. But in no means should Harbaugh be fired
Andrew Scott Top tanked Wisconsin, MSU, and PSU
Andrew Scott All top ranked teams the only team he is having trouble with is OSU and he was robbed of a win 2 years ago when they gave Barret an undeserved first down
@@smittyj383 a 7-5 msu is top ranked? a 7-5 wisconsin team is top ranked? and even penn state was a fraud this year, played ot with app state and should have lost to iowa.
Andrew Scott MSU is a rival, Wisconsin was undefeated when they faced them and exposed Wisconsin, and PSU was good when they faced them. Michigan exposes these teams
So Alabama has to go undefeated to make the playoffs just because they didn't get blown out by 29 on the road in the regular season??? How would losing by 1 point in Georgia to the number 4 team in the country eliminate bama yet losing by 29 to an unranked 6-6 team doesn't eliminate them??
Who cares when you lose? Georgia is playing at a level at if they were to somehow beat bama playing at their best, then they would beat any other team in the country as well... Meaning, if Ohio St or ou were in bamas shoes they would have lost as well, except that would be their 2nd loss while it's only bamas first.
Bama losing to Georgia would show us that GA is better so no need to put Bama in since we already saw GA was better. Bama should be penalized for losing and not given a second chance for losing and forcing GA to have to post beat Bama again. Most teams throughout the year would fall out of the top four after a loss, end of the year should be no different.
Bama played 3 Fcs schools. They had three byes on their schedule. Ok, Osu, Nd played 12 real teams. They tested themselves. In those 3 weeks bama gets to rest starters and play inexperience players without having to sacrifice any important playing time. Bama loses they are done. No playoff. GA not sure at their schedule but i'm confident they played at least 2 fcs schools.
Jose Vega bama didn't play 3 fcs schools but ok lol
Jose Vega they played one FCS school all year. Of course, y'all don't wanna hear that lol
@@tjadams1089 Arkansas state, Louisiana, and the citadel the week before Auburn. Weak schools to me. I don't count Louisville because that is a power five school. Non conference was nobody. Only real team they faced was LSU.
I'm sorry but Michigan doesn't have the #1 defense, stats padded by a weak schedule
Errol Horn The BIG 10 is the toughest conference. PSU, MSU, Wisconsin, PSU hardly sounds like an easy schedule this isn’t Alabama
bryan joiner No what happened was they lost focus for that game and were so focused on the playoffs. The offense showed up by putting up 32 points but the defense who lost key players during the game didn’t show up
It’s the Ucf knights not the golden knights do some research it’s your job
They're not important enough to research they play nobodies if you gave any top 10-15 school that schedule they'd be undefeated for a century even if they made they playoffs they'd be murdered in the first round it's a waste of a space give them an ok bowl game that's all they deserve
Jordan Willett ya, just ask Bama, since that's basically their schedule every year since 1927.
i want bama out stop being cheaters always they find a way to put this team in the college football playoff
Everyone's writing Georgia off. The Buckeyes need a dominant win and I think Texas needs to knock OU off. ND does NOT belong! They need to join conference.
Notre Dame should not be in the playoffs. If they want to maintain their elitist, holier than thou attitude, and cherry pick their schedule, then they should pay the consequences of not being in a conference. The PAC 12 and the Big 12 are probably not going to be represented in the final four, so much for the committee's "reverence" for conference champions. We all remember what happened to Notre Dame the last time they were invited to play for the National Championship. They were humiliated by Alabama. There is a reason that 13 of the last 14 National championship games included an SEC team, with an SEC team winning all but two. The only northern school worth a flip is Ohio State (as demonstrated by it's complete domination of Michigan). The SEC championship IS the national championship. The ACC, Big 10, and PAC 12 Championship games are going to be snooze-fests. To keep Alabama out of the CFPs would be an abomination. They simply want to avoid three Georgia-Alabama games in two years, even though, Georgia and Alabama are obviously two of the best three teams in college football. Defense still wins championships, and Oklahoma and Ohio State don't have one.
7700Purplexity It’s not like ND picks a easy schedule. They played a traditional powerhouse in the Big 10, PAC 12, and the ACC. Unfortunately those teams are down this year. In the beginning of the year people were saying how tough the schedule is and now they are saying how easy it is. Plus what other team travels from coast to coast like they do? They deserve to be in.
So let me get this. If Alabama loses to Georgia. They don't deserve to be in but Ohio state got blown out by Purdue and they get a chance to get in? This is why I don't listen to Joel Klatt.
Yes. Bama would be a conference champ and a lost early is better then one late.
@@Cpnweze lmao if you say so.
he values con champs a lot it seems . idrk how i feel about that
They build for Conferences Championship so yes I like that better than award some a team that didn't earn it smh but then again its The Alabama Invitational and Saban runs college 😤😤😵
If Alabama loses they should be OUT! Not because they lost to the #4 team and Ohio State lost to unranked Purdue or OK lost to a weak Texas team, but because they only played 8 conference games, they played an FCS school, had a bye, and ONLY BEAT a weak and overrated LSU team led by an Ohio State reject QB. That's why Alabama should be out and OK or OSU in if they win. Not even saying OSU should be in over OK or other way around. You lose you drop out of top 5. Period. Let alone for the reasons above. If Alabama lost to GA at the beginning of the year and they were #1 and GA 4, and the other teams 2 and 3 won that week, Bama would be put out of the top 5. Should be the same at the end of the year too.
I love Ohio State.....I went to OSU....I graduated from OSU ==> and I believe Urban Meyer is CLUELESS and should get ZERO CREDIT for our 2014 Championship and NONE for Dwayne Haskins either. UM (hate those initials by the way) has only wanted the RUN FIRST QB's as his starters. The ONLY reason we won the NATTY in 2014 was because JT Barrett broke his ankle and Urban was FORCED to play Cardale Jones (which brought BALANCE and a DFT to our Offense). He (Meyer) loathed Kenny Guiton, Cardale Jones and Joe Burrow.
PROOF ==> Urban is the ONLY COACH IN FBS HISTORY to BENCH an Undefeated, Natty Winning, MVP...and when he did, we LOST !
Urban Meyer was OK with OSU losing to TTUN in 2017....and if JT hadn't got hurt (again) => Dwayne Haskins would not have entered THE GAME, and we would have lost. Please watch the game if you've never seen this. Dwayne only needed 1 quarter to win it !
All last summer when every MEDIA person asked him whether he thought Burrow or Haskins would START, all he could talk about was Tate Martell...…..Please don't believe me...….watch the interviews. W/O the all the pre-season garbage that Urban brought TO OSU and on himself, we would have seen another RUN FIRST QB at OSU. Collectively, they've never helped our team win anything but it's the ONLY thing UM knows. Why has Ohio State struggled this year ? Well, it got WORSE not better after UM returned to the helm.....and the reason is, HE DOESN'T understand how to utilize a Pass First QB in the spread Offense......and doesn't care to. He's been FORCED TO PLAY PASS FIRST QB's => 4 different times....and we've won every game but one during his tenure when this happened => but it was NEVER HIS CHOICE, it was forced onto him and thankfully it was, as we won.....a Big Ten Championship....Dwayne can make it 2...….a CFP BAMA victory....a NATTY...…..a victory over TTUN...…..and a 24 - 1 record !
In 2018, OSU got better on Defense when a Targeting Call brought Brendon White in the game.....and an injury brought Chris Olave into our Offense...…..not any VOLITIONAL CHOICES by UM. We could be GREAT THIS YEAR. WE have the players we need. They just can't get an opportunity with UM's mindset. His history shows this to be true......
PROOF ==> Did Urban Meyer bring Burrow off the bench at any time during Ohio State's 0 - 31 loss to Clemson ? Our WR's were wide open......please watch the 3rd quarter to see it (over and over again). Did Urban change QB's in the IOWA game ? Did Cardale Jones get to play even one quarter of the 2015 game vs MSU (because that was all he would have needed to win the game for us).
We have the BEST TEAM in FBS THIS YEAR....and have for the past 7 years...….but Urban can't SEE the volitional decisions that need to be made. Nick Saban barely did. He had his COME TO JESUS MOMENT during half time last year. He had been short sighted same as Urban for years......losing to Cardale Jones and OSU in 2014, losing in 2016 vs Clemson and he was ABOUT TO LOSE to Georgia when it HIT HIM...…..and he VOLITIONALLY benched the Running QB for a TRUE FRESHMAN who brought a balance attack and a DFT to the game......and he (TUA) won the thing in just over half a game.
Joel sees some things...….but he's NEVER fully grasped these historical FACTS......as TRUTH !!! Hope you do now !!!
Hate to see Ohio State make the playoffs....Why be abused by Alabama?
