Tired of the rest of the country talking down thee B1G.
I want every BIG team to win their first round games.
- Thread starter RickinDayton
- Start date
I have no confidence in Indiana but that would be great
Oregon and PSU should be decent favorites in their games and I would think OSU (at home) should also be a favorite until I realized that Ryan "Cooper" Day is still HC. But the one I'll really be pulling hard for is Indiana although they'll probably be a big underdog against "holier than thou" Notre Lame
I'm hoping for freezing weather and maybe even some snow in Columbus when Tennessee plays there. Welcome an SEC team to a northern stadium properly
Same with SMU when they play at PSU. Cold, Cold, Cold and maybe some snow. Go B1G. Actually, I think PSU handles SMU rather easily

Not me, I hope Tennessee kicks the shit out of duhO$U - and imho duhO$U is in a ton trouble without their corrupt b2g Officiating security-blanket. They are not going to get away with the massive holding and DPI along the OL and Defensive Secondary that they perpetrated on an every play basis against PSU.
Indiana and Notre Dame have had pretty similar results in large wins against mediocre to bad competition. Notre Dame has a close loss to a bad team; Indiana had a big loss to a good team.
I know the pundits will rate ND as a big favorite but I think it’s actually a toss up and wouldn’t be surprised to see the Hoosiers win

Only one common opponent…PU.
ND 66-7; IU 66 zip…This should be a good game. ND’s strength is run game. IU led the country vs the run. Will be interesting to see this spread. For all the belly aching over IU’s SOS, ND’s is not much better.
I'm completely indifferent to the outcome of that game. In some ways, OSU losing would be interesting because it could spell the end for Day and they'll push hard for Vrabel or Marcus Freeman. But generally speaking? Meh.
But good Lord. Take a step back from the conspiracy theories for a moment.
Day is TOAST if he loses that 1st round game to Tennessee. That would seal it with their alumni and grads
The OSU alum are pushing for Vrabel. They would instantly go from the soft-pussy-finesse rep they have now under Day to a tough minded squad of SOBs under Vrabel. It was reported in the past that Vrabel was not fond of recruiting but with NIL now in play, who knows ?
I am hoping that TN kicks Day out of the Shoe for good. We can worry about his replacement when recruiting gets started again.
Go Vols! Go Hoosiers! Go Ducks. Go Nits!!!!!!!!!

Might want to be careful what you wish for as the last time the OSU fanbase wanted a coach out - John Cooper - they fired him and replaced him with some small college coach from Youngstown State named Tressel and we all know how that turned out.
I think most of the OSU people now realize it was a mistake to promote an asst coach with no previous HC experience. You can bet they'll end up with someone really decent this next time around after Day is canned
My prediction in the 1st round - Tenn 24, OSU 21 as choke Ryan Cooper Day puckers up again in a big game
Yeah, OSU is hard to predict in the Playoffs. Are they dejected (and don't care) after their Michigan fiasco or are they just totally POd and turn into the machine many thought they would be ? With Ryan Cooper Day as their HC, they probably don't care and many of their stars are just concentrating on the NFL
There's no way they "don't care". I'm not saying we're going to get an elite version of Ohio State but they absolutely care--it's their legacy at stake--this isn't a bowl game.
They've beat 2 two teams in the playoff which is also a boost for them.
I'm not a Day fan but I have less faith in Nico and that Vols offense
That's definitely the best game on paper though
I would expect they want to prove the Michigan loss was a fluck and they play to win. The talent is certainly there.
I don’t want Oregon or tOSU to win. But I would love to see IU beat ND.
I don't want Tennessee to beat both tOSU and Oregon. I'm rooting for the Ducks no matter the outcome of the first round game.
A bunch of keyboard warriors and bandwagon fans are pushing for Vrabel. I don't know a single fellow alum that is. Vrabel has said repeatedly he has no interest in coaching college football again, even at OSU. He's an NFL guy through and through. He doesn't like recruiting, the portal and NIL. Considering the job he has with the Browns right now, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets a look for the Head Coaching job there if they fire Kevin Stefanski after the season.
If "duhOSU" loses it will be due to their injury ridden OL, not the officials. That is why they lost against Michigan. Nice hate post though.

I would like Ohio State and Indiana to win. After the first round, I would probably prefer both of them to lose. What I want to have happen is for the SEC to not win a game.
good point, wasnt looking at the bracket when typing. Just want to see the SEC put in their place
It's real important for Penn State and Texas to win their first games so future years don't see two ACC schools getting in. That will eventually hurt us.
Ohio State and Indiana winning would be great.
Honestly...this sets up nicely for Oregon vs Texas and Penn State vs Georgia in the semis. Hopefully it plays out like that. These are the best 4 teams.
The talent is definitely there as I read they could challenge the record by Georgia a few years back for the most players drafted in one draft at 15.
Their problem is their moron HC who was born on 3rd base. OSU is paying the price for that stupid hire now.
I'll probably get roasted for this but I really believe Franklin is a better coach than Cooper Day. CJF has had lesser talent than OSU during his time at PSU. He's played OSU extremely tough over the years
