I remember the IRISH were mentioned how good they were this year and should be the best team in the country! Looks like it is finally coming true tonight!!!!!!!!!!
It’s worth noting that dating back to the December 6th, 2025 BIG 10 Championship Game, Ohio State has a record of 6-5. I’ve followed this team for over 60 years and given the era we’re in with the transfer portal/NIL that’s sort of shocking. It makes me think of the John Cooper era.
These next 3 games might be the most crucial in Ryan Day’s tenure as HC. The triumvirate of HC Day, OC Smith and DC Patricia are up against a wall, if they can’t find a way to win out they may all be gone.

I dont expect much from a true freshman QB, but I didn't think the team would just quit. Hopeful that Day will be able to get them up for Michigan.
The defense hasn't really played very good all season. The QB situation is unfortunate but Day/Smith have now had three weeks to find ways to help Fahey, either with personnel changes or a scheme/play calling, and they can't seem to figure it out. Football, either in the Pros or High School starts at the line of scrimmage and this current iteration of the Buckeyes is woefully inadequate on both sides of that line. They can't pass block and they can't pass rush. Until those problems are fixed it won't matter how many Jeremiah Smith's are on the team.
of the next three games the only one I see this team having a reasonable chance of winning is Nebraska. If that happens it'll mean a record of 7-5 with Ohio State closing out their home schedule with losses to Oregon, Northwestern and Michigan.

One thing I have learned from a lifetime of playing/watching sports is that injuries are a major and often unavoidable part of any team, season and championship. It often works out that the best team, the Champion, is the one who has been least affected by injuries to key players.
As this College Football season winds its way to the playoffs it sucks that three teams have fallen to that fate. Oregon, Ohio State and now Miami have all been derailed and at this juncture the main beneficiaries appear to be Georgia, Notre Dame, Utah and UCLA.
If you really enjoy this Sport like I do and want the top teams and best players to be competing, join me in hoping there are no more major injuries.

Reading an article about the upcoming change to a 24-team playoff field.
--- Why is ESPN so invested in this change?? Considering that network's involvement with the SEC it would seem there's a conflict.
--- The major Conferences are saying they'll get rid of their Championship games. There will be four spots designated for the Power 4 champions and one spot goes to the highest-ranked Group of 6 champion. How will each Conference determine there Champion?? In some cases it'll end up being some ticky-tack way of points against common opponents which doesn't seem a good way, especially if a first round bye is at stake.

You cant unless only one team goes undefeated in conference play. Otherwise, there will be co champions.
The rankings are rather interesting, the mixture of Alabama/Tennessee/Kentucky is what puzzles me. How does Alabama lose to number 1 Georgia by 3 points but to number 8 Tennessee by 16?? How does the CFP Commitee put so much value on Alabama's wins but then discount that loss?? To my way of thinking the 'Tide and the Vols should be closer together in the rankings, maybe even at 5-6 with Tennessee ahead.
I would pose a question for @Bullsitter since he's more tuned in to the workings of the SEC: if Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky all win out who plays in the Conference Championship Game?? By my reckoning it would be Georgia and Tennessee, right??
Alabama --- beat Kentucky, lost to Georgia and Tennessee.
Kentucky --- lost to Alabama and Tennessee, didn't play Georgia.
Tennessee --- beat Alabama and Kentucky, didn't play Georgia but lost to Texas.
That highlights the absurdity of the ranklings. And where does Texas fit in?? Their losses are ugly ones to unranked teams but they beat Tennessee by 3 points. Somebody from these top 5 teams in the SEC needs to lose to help sort things out.

Ga/Tenn/Texas play 2 more tough games while Bama has 1.
Bama has zero tough games remaining, unless you consider Chattanooga(sec cupcake week) tough?
What happened to rivalry games are always difficult and anything can happen in them?
True, however Auburn has been on a downhill slide, losing 2 out of their last 3 games, and they just barely beat a bad Arkansas team last week. Bama should be a heavy favorite at home.

You also should be aware of the last that 4 of the last 6 Bama Auburn games have been decided by one possession including 3 by 3 points or less. and Auburn has won 2 of 3 before that. Itscertainly hasnt been on a downhill slide

I think the committee watched the Ga/Ala game and saw how Bama got robbed.
If they picked today, yes, Ga/Tenn would play in the last SEC Championship.
There are 3 more games left for each team to play.
Ga/Tenn/Texas play 2 more tough games while Bama has 1.
Don't forget Kentucky even though they could lose their last 3 games.
