Will it matter? The ads are paid for, the ratings are in, that's all the NCAA cares about.
Truth be told not even sure I'd care as a UM fan. Saw the game and they won....if someone wants to say it didn't happen I'd be OK.

Yeah that's kinda true of all the 'vacated' stuff in sports. Or the Hall of Fame snubs. Everyone knows Bonds and Clemens belong there.

If vacating wins isn't the stupidest "sports punishment" ever, it's definitely in the convo.

As if pretending a game didn't happen isn't stupid enough, they don't "vacate" the opposing teams loss.

So, while they're pretending a game didn't happen, they leave evidence that something happened. lol

They should let Alabama play Washington next week just in case.

I'd watch...why not?

Never had games of this magnitude vacated but think a major bowl win and many other games were for OSU. Pretty much gave it no thought.

Much as I hate UM I know I'd take no pleasure to see their title vacated.

Grammar left something to be desired but thought this was a fantastic comment by Watson to his critics (who are probably mostly Browns' fans)....

"Tһey wіn аnd go to tһe Bowl, I’m goіng to tһe Bowl. Tһey get а rіng, I’m gettіng а rіng. I аіn’t trіppіng on none of tһаt. I’m һurt so I cаn’t do notһіng. People just wаnt sometһіng to sаy аnd tаlk аbout. It’s аll personаl for tһem. Tһіs s**t entertаіnіng for me."

I was impressed by his celebrating with Flacco and him loosening up. It can't be easy to be in that spot and only confidence in himself will get him out of it.

His last half was a great one. So he needs to pick up from there.

Any Browns fan suggesting Flacco as the 1 next year is bonkers. If Flacco and Watson are cool with Joe as the 2 then great. I doubt that happens though.

the only thing I ever saw that was truly fucked was the football deflating. There was something to that. If you looked at the fumble stats it's impossible to be that lucky.

I don't recall anything egregious with Atlanta other than them blowing it.

The DPI...maybe.

they ignored the CB ripping the dude's helmet off by the facemask when it would've kept them in FG range.

the ref was 3 feet from the play

they also held Grady Jarrett the entire second half because he was way too dominant in the first half and that had to stop.

the falcons too biggest drives of the second half were bogged down by holding calls that moved them out of FG range.....

the game was called to the score (at best) but when it was time to call it straight and it had the audacity to benefit the falcons...crickets.

and the nfl admitted none of them were wrong despite the blatant video to the contrary.

Idk how you can pretend Sanu wasn't dragged down by his facemask when the dude tackled him by his facemask, ripped the helmet off his head, and waved it around right in front of the official...
