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

[PIBuckeye]

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?

wow. be a bigger loon. good god.

blind hate and bitterness is no way to go through life.

 

[PIBuckeye]

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

Boy you sure showed me.

That meme covered the ridiculousness of the post it was making fun of. sorry if that offends you.

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

Do something about those losses and we can put in a good word for you.

You're joking right? The Huskers are 2-4 and have been outscored 190 to 140.

I guess it's a dumb rule for a season like this, but an even dumber decision to change it this far in. Don't kid yourselves, this is all about a chance at making more money, it's sick. It's no secret that football has become a money milking machine, but you somewhat knew that everyone had a standard that showed they truly cared for the game and not how much you rake it, this however goes right out of the window. You 100% need to accept they did this purely because it's Ohio State and its chances to the CFP. I doubt they'd do this to Rutgers in OSU's place and OSU is Indiana's place, and that's simply proven at this decision was purely CFP-motivated (this has happened before, 2016.) The sport of football shouldn't be how much money you make, it should be teamwork, family, toughness, loss, pride, etc. this decision just rubs me the wrong way, I could care less how much money we get if someone gets into the CFP, I'd rather be IN the CFP then see someone else. I don't have conference pride, and definitely not after this. There's no point, no need, and mostly I don't respect a lot of teams in this conference that I never really wanted to be a part of in the first place. That's just me.

Now let's move this to the biggest reason for the change, the CFP. It's simple, and OSU & other die-hard B1G fans need to accept it, Ohio State has not done enough to deserve a spot in the playoff. Stop this silliness, they've played half a season compared to most, and 80% of the opponents they've played so far have 2 wins each. And the three ages they missed...also currently have 2 wins each. Sorry Ohio State, on behalf of the teams you've faced, we suck. And you shouldn't get the playoffs by beating just one (soon to be two, I guess) teams, that's simply not enough. There is no bias here, just straight honesty, you don't have to agree with it and that's ok. I will not blame any other teams looking to pound Ohio State if they see them in the playoffs, I can see why.

Anyway, I'm sure I've rustled enough Buckeyes jimmies with this to be hurled random, inappropriate, inaccurate insults/claims, but these are just my two cents on the subject.

It is you that is being biased. Any other sport would not even have an argument as to who is the champion of this division.

Happens in baseball all the time. Just happened last year.

More cheating from Ohia state. Nebraska may be down but at least we're not a cheater.

How has Ohio State cheated? This could be funny. They didn't make the decision to allow themselves to play in the CCG.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I wonder if Ohio state has any bag Man?

I wonder if Ohio state has any bag Man?

Wonder if the Nebraska Cornholes will ever be relevant in CFB again?

I hope so i dont want the coach giving my "donations" directly to the recruits.

Not upset about it.

Not, gonna lie though. It'll be pretty hillarious if Northwestern somehow wins.

It is you that is being biased

Everyone is biased, doesn't take any value of what I've said.

Any other sport would not even have an argument as to who is the champion of this division.

Any other sport is just that, just another sport. Why would its rules be applied here? And it what way would its rule even correlate with this here?

Happens in baseball all the time. Just happened last year.

There were five teams in the Big Ten that went to the 2019 College Baseball Tournament, B1G had a decision to make, have a shot at 1 or no shot at all this year.
Pretty simple why for one sport they could afford this without much trouble.

 

[We Are Decent]

1) The basis is the CFP is not taking 5-1 OSU over 5-0 Rutgers who beat OSU.

Except for that one time where a Big Ten team defeated Ohio State and yet Ohio State was the B1G representative in the playoffs.
I don't think you want to accept the ever so fact that Ohio State is naturally the conference's best chance and why a slip up to another team wouldn't be as severe as a slip up to any other team.

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.

That's simply not true and if you unironically believe that to be true, really just lying to yourself.

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

The complaints are towards changing the rules so that the B1G will get into the playoffs much easier despite not having a strong enough resume and in general doing this for financial reasons. If OSU plays and beats/loses Michigan, they're still in the B1G CCG and if they beat NW, still would have a great shot at being in the playoffs, and little to none would not be complaining (except I guess A&M fans) but now you have essentially everyone from everywhere criticizing this decision.

So no, no complaint is irrelevant if you bring that counter up, the only irrelevant thing would be that counter itself as it has nothing to do with the original complaints.

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.

I think you may need to read over everything I've said at the start, as examples from the past show that isn't the case and in general the viewpoints of the committee. There's no proof that a 5-0 Rutgers will be in a 4-7 spot right now when 5-1 Indiana is in a 12th spot. You're not taking into account the other teams in this discussion (A&M, Florida, Iowa State, & Cincinnati) so it's really up to you to prove how the B1G would believe the Rutgers was their best chance.

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.

There was really no reading comp needed, your statement was simply poorly worded and placed in your post. But aside from meaningless jabs, OSU would've faced Iowa which is a weaker opponent to Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oklahoma, Iowa State (I guess?), etc. they'd have a shot, but it'd be a lot weaker.

 

[We Are Decent]

You showed nothing. Your past example was about the playoff committee not the B1G.

If you're failing to spot a connection, then that'd be on you.

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.

They're connected in this case, as you try pretty hard at denying the actual reason why the B1G made this decision.
OSU potentially becoming Conference Champions = stronger resume and better shot
OSU potentially not becoming Conference Champions = a much weaker resume and worse shot
OSU in playoffs = More money
OSU not in playoffs = Not more money

You're getting the connections or do I have to simply it even harder for you?

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.

Never claimed otherwise. What are you even arguing against at this point? If any B1G team would be in the Top 4, then yes, you'd be right, but a 5-0 Rutgers would not realistically be in the Top 4 and there's proof. What is so tough to understand?

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

No, you simply just don't understand basic concepts and you pull dumb replies like this. If you don't understand something this clear, then move along and proceed with someone else, but stop being the stereotypical OSU person and making yourself look more like a fool.

You keep trying to connect the B1G and the playoff committee. Ill help and talk slow, they are different. I'm sorry you are still upset PSU didn't get the invite but once again the is the playoff committee. The B1G had PSU in the CCG. See how that works, different.

Oh? I rarely follow MLB nowadays unless if the Pirates somehow become tolerable, or I'm forced to watch the Phillies due to Delco going non-stop promotion of a Philadelphia team in the playoffs.
Apologies for any mistakes I've made.

It's baffling how some bad apples out of the bunch just keep getting more rotten by the post.

The B1G & playoff committee are connected here. If there is no change to the rules, we have an Indiana-Northwestern title game with no stakes at all for postseason and we'd all move on with our lives save for the Ohio State fanbase complaining about not having their 39th B1G conference championship (the pain is unbearable, truly.)
Like seriously, name any other fanbase that'd be upset if Ohio State didn't make a CCG...
Instead there's a chance at more money and another appearance at the CFP if Ohio State gets in, tell me, which decision would look better?

Ah so you admitted that the CFP is more inclined to have Ohio State rather than Penn State, which falls nicely into my original example of the committee being more inclined to have Ohio State rather than Rutgers, so the B1G making sure the former gets in easier by helping boosting their resume.
Thanks.
