We Are Decent
Depressed Penn State Fan
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.
