Are you okay with the BIG 10 changing the rules to allow tOSU in the their Championship?

[ellupo]

No, it isn't.

There are two parts to this:
1) Your hilarious misinterpretation of making money off football = sick, what I call sick is purposefully changing rules so all the benefits that you get would be financially-based is sick, as that is self-centered. No excuse for it. Making money off of football though because you earned that spot isn't sick. That's just common sense. Ohio State has not earned a CFP spot yet the B1G will make sure they do because of money. If money is the reason instead of a bonus then there shouldn't be criticism.
2) "countless" already ignoring dumb figurative language being used here, what jobs are being accounted for? The board? The department? The coaches? They're already well-paid enough, in fact, more than enough in many cases. Or simply they use millions of dollars to utilize and advance their own facilities and equipment? We all know how this game is played, only a sliver fraction of the money these schools get goes to scholarships.

That's the thing, there wouldn't be a chance that this would happen, right now. Let me explain: There's no basis to where I am wrong, as the point I made was that the Big Ten would only care for whoever has the best chances to make the playoffs, this is why they changed rules for Ohio State to get another game & chance. A 5-0 Rutgers in front of the division would not get this treatment as I'd bet my kidney they would not be ranked #4 as of now. You say I am wrong, but that would be assuming Rutgers would be recognized with the same prestige as Ohio State, which obviously isn't true to anyone. This has happened before. 2016. A team rightfully wins their division and conference, but did the B1G push them for the playoffs? No. They went with Ohio State who had a better chance. I think you know the incident I'm referring to fully well, and it's that exact incident as to why the counter of "Big Ten would've made the same decision for any other team" isn't being truthful at all. Face it. Indiana-Northwestern Championship Game gets played, will they both be ranked above Ohio State in the end? If your answer is yes, then your claim that the Big Ten would've made the change for anyone would be consistent, if your answer is no, then you're lying to yourself with your original claim.

Yes, it is up to the committee to make the right choice, do I think they will? No, honestly speaking.

Victim of what exactly? A boob who comes at me with dishonest counters? I believe I've had my fair share of that plenty enough. My last statement was rather a statement of expectation that I rustled a Buckeyes fan jimmies enough to the point where they respond back to me with the inaccurate claim of "yeah the conference would totally die on the Rutgers hill instead of the Ohio State hill" and you did not disappoint sir.

The players get nothing out of the games? A dumb or naive comment.

Yes countless as in I do not the number but you limiting it to those that are "already well-paid enough" is once again dumb and naive. You forget about the all of the support staff.

You say Rutgers would not get the same treatment, prove that statement correct. Right now it just sounds like some sour grapes from a butt hurt fan. The issue you are speaking of was the CFP committee, not the B1G. Apples to oranges.

Yes victim. Started a victim and continued the victim.

 

[redseat]

OSU was missing 40 for the Illinois game. thats why it wasn't played.

Maryland and scUM, OSU was ready to go, they cancelled those games.

Oh, thought they were referring that Illinois had those many payers out. Didn't realize it was OSU

 

[PIBuckeye]

Ran across an article from that rag Detroit Free Press- winners & losers from meeeechegan football's postponement vs. Ohio State

To nobody's surprise they say Harabugh's one of the winners because he avoided yet another potential beatdown.

Jimmy Jam- "amid a career-worst year, is a winner by not losing"

Somewhere maizeNblue09 is celebrating. You know who that 24/7 super-homer is? Just wait until next season. Because he'll be bragging that meeeechegan didn't lose to Ohio State.

I truly think the beatdown would've been outright embarrassing and ugly. Anyone that doesn't think that this wasn't in their minds while deciding to play or not is full of shit. and they had the perfect excuse to use sitting right in front of them............ "we'll just blame it on covid".........

It would've hurt them big time in recruiting.

 

[CaptainStubing]

They should have never had a 6 game requirement after they botched the whole beginning of their season.

Their leadership should all be fired after this season. Really pathetic

Good point about the recruiting angle. Didn't think of that. But you're right it would have been a straight up embarrassment for meeeechegan. It would have been one of the worst losses for them of all time. And I'm not taking the usual shots at them right now. Ohio State's just that much more talented.

JH's team is a complete trainwreck this season. It'll be intersting to see if he's brought back. If he is I'll have to laugh. Do you know what the spread of the game was?

It was a 29.5 pt spread. I think they would've covered that.

And conversely it would've helped OSU's recruiting...... really sucks that this game isn't being played. it's a monumental event every fall. plus it sucks as we could've evened up the record a little more with the win this year.

I'll say this, back when Carr left and the richrod fuckup started, it was fun to watch and enjoy........ never would I ever had bet that scUM's coaching and program mess would still be going on in the year 2020. I'm starting to hear from many that michigan needs to lower their expectations and that maybe they are now simply a second tier middle of the road big 10 program. I really don't think Harbaugh is all of that and a bag of chips. He looks confused and lost often on the sidelines.... his interviews are delusional and jr. high level canned comments. he doesn't come across as intelligent at all. seriously. After 6 years, with his horrible records he's been setting, I cannot believe they are going to extend him. it's laughable. especially with what they've paid him.

What's funny is meeeechegan's in a in-win situation. Extend Harbaugh and watch him lose big games or admit he was a mistake and move on. One thing for sure. With the hype he got he's the most overrated coach in the country.

The only dumb and naïve person who thinks players get the amount they deserve is you.

Yes countless as in I do not the number but you limiting it to those that are "already well-paid enough" is once again dumb and naive. You forget about the all of the support staff.

You don't know what countless means because what they do with the money is mostly limited.
And yes, if they don't go to the playoffs for just one year they'd have to cut their entire support staff. How could Ohio State ever rebuild from that travesty?

You say Rutgers would not get the same treatment, prove that statement correct.

I already did with past examples and just being completely real blunt with questions. I'll ask yet another question: Which would the committee be more interested in or otherwise more favored to put them their four: A 5-1 Ohio State or a 5-0 Rutgers? Be. Honest.
If you think the B1G is doing this to help boost Ohio State's chances at getting in the playoffs, then you'd have to admit that you would also believe a 5-0 Rutgers right now would have a great shot at making the playoffs, if not already guaranteed to make the playoffs.

It's that simple but I doubt you'd wanna answer the question directly because it contradicts your original opinion that the B1G would've made the same decision for anyone else.

Right now it just sounds like some sour grapes from a butt hurt fan

Oh yeah I'm real butthurt that Ohio State is a great team with the chance to go to the playoffs. This is truly the first time in history that this has happened.

The issue you are speaking of was the CFP committee, not the B1G. Apples to oranges.

In this conversation, right now, they're the same thing.
B1G doesn't change anything, OSU isn't making the playoffs.
B1G changes this, OSU has a good shot at making the playoffs.

They're connected in this issue bud.

Yes victim. Started a victim and continued the victim.

Once again...of what?

To answer your first question if the same situation as OSU/IU - meaning Rutgers is 5-0 and beat 5-1 OSU - there is no doubt they'd put Rutgers in the CCG. do you just ignore if OSU played UM and lost they are still in the CCG? That is their main reason for the decision.

Guessing you will also ignore if BIG makes no change OSU still plays next week and if they win has a good shot at making the CFP.

 

[PIBuckeye]

Can someone point me to the 3-4 threads of outrage when the ACC changed their rules to get their two best teams in their playoff?

thanks in advance........

 

[We Are Decent]

To answer your first question if the same situation as OSU/IU - meaning Rutgers is 5-0 and beat 5-1 OSU - there is no doubt they'd put Rutgers in the CCG.

Where is the basis of this, with knowledge that OSU would be the best shot at the playoffs and making more money?

do you just ignore if OSU played UM and lost they are still in the CCG?

I don't know why you people bring this up like it means anything. That is not the complaint many have.

That is their main reason for the decision.

That's just plain fanatic and shows you're one of those types of people to die on any hill your team is on. I don't mind that, but at least recognize that with allowing Ohio State to play in the Big Ten championship would help booster Big Ten representation in the playoffs by a large degree.

Guessing you will also ignore if BIG makes no change OSU still plays next week and if they win has a good shot at making the CFP.

...what? Was this statement suppose to be a counter to anything I previously said?

 

[HuskerPower52]

It's completely ridiculous at Ohio State gets to play in this game they're ineligible. If Ohio State only played one game this year and it was against Indiana and they beat them would they still be making this the rule?

You showed nothing. Your past example was about the playoff committee not the B1G. Even your new question is about the committee and not the B1G. When discussing the B1G maybe ask a question about he B1G and not the committee as they are 2 completely different bodies and work differently. Try to stay on subject.

Of course a top 4 team has a shot and if they do not play that have less of a shot, that has been stated many times and would happen for any B1G team that has a shot.

Your point is less clear each time you post. Try to stay on subject.

...what? Was this statement suppose to be a counter to anything I previously said?

1) The basis is the CFP is not taking 5-1 OSU over 5-0 Rutgers who beat OSU. Reason you cannot wrap your head around it is you realize Rutgers is not beating OSU and going 5-0. But if they did, they are the BIG's best shot for a CFP participant.

2) I bring it up because any complaint is irrelevant because of that fact. But complainers will complain.

3) I think you may need help with reading comp. as I clearly said if Rutgers was 5-0 and beat OSU they would and should choose Rutgers.

4) My statement was to counter you saying "B1G doesn't change anything, OSU isn't making the playoffs." as mentioned, OSu has a solid shot of getting in if they won their game next week even if not the CCG. If you want help with reading comp. you only need to ask.

Nebraska doesn't have enough wins to play in the Big ten championship game either can we back door our way into that

Yeah that's what I figured, a meme. Nothing to support your argument.

Boy you sure showed me.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Did all the schools in Big ten and athletic directors and the commissioner agree to the rules before the season started?

Did the Big ten amend the rules to benefit Ohio State only?

Six wins is the minimum you need to play in the Big ten championship does Ohio State have that?

So I'm asking if Ohio state doesn't have enough wins to play in the Big ten championship why should they? And why shouldn't Nebraska have just as much claim to play in the Big ten championship game as Ohio state?

Six games is the minimum not six wins. Nebraska doesn't have enough wins to play in the B1G championship, Ohio State does but didn't have enough games according to the old rule

well, they came up with rules...not sure if everyone agreed with their choices but we can say they all did if you'd like
no
no
Number of wins was never a criteria. Try again.

Here's one for you....were you going to cry over all situations in which OSU was in the CCG?
