Don’t disagree. Gotta figure they’ll blow this whole thing up in 2026 for something much more favorable to the B10/SEC as a whole.

-The Freshman WR for OhioSt is as good as advertised.

-They never get called for any penalties. 3/25 yards.
Side note. There were 29 assessed penalties in all three playoff games yesterday. Last two trips to Knoxville, 32 penalties have been assessed on BAMA.

-If OhioSt plays like they did vs tenner, they'll win the natty.


In 12 games this season 92 penalties have been assessed on BAMA.
In 13 games this season 55 penalties have been assessed on OhioSt.


Uga 75 in 13 games
Clemson 69 in 14 games (ZERO in their Champ Game)
Tejas 87 in 14 games
Oregon 71 in 13 games
ASU 78 in 13 games
PennSt 69 in 14 games
BoiseSt 63 in 13 games
Indiana 61 in 13 games
Tenner 105 in 13 games
ND 76 in 13 games
SMU 114 through 14 games

Numbers don't tell the entire story obviously. For instance, I didn't check to see how many penalties were declined vs each team, and a few teams had real outlier type games where they had a lot of penalties assessed against them in blow out wins. Indiana had 14 penalties vs UCLA for example.

OSU is a really good team. They played like idiots against Michigan and tried to run it down their throats.

Tennessee was a paper tiger. Bama had no business losing to them.

The only conference the current setup screws is the SEC. The Big 12 and ACC know they're getting at least one team in despite being absolutely horrific conferences, and the B1G/ND dominate the committee and just got to host 3 of the 4 on campus games. The whole thing was a massive economic and PR boon for the Rust Belt. Why would they want to change anything when the SEC continues to shoot itself in the dick by giving its best non-Texas teams the most challenging schedules it can?

If Sankey doesn't swing his dick in the next committee meeting and make some demands, he needs to be shown the door, with prejudice.

If Sankey doesn’t whip his dick out and throw it on the table next set of negotiations, fire his arse immediately and send Saban in there to resume negotiations for the SEC.

The SEC represents the best football conference, biggest TV contract, the most eyeballs on a weekly basis, and typically a 75-80% share of the “most viewed” games yearly. To get fricked like the conference did this year due to committee incompetence and this laughable format is ridiculous.

A very wise old college football coach who led my alma mater to a Division II national championship … the wise old timers out there will know immediately who I am talking about … one told me there’s one inalienable, unchangeable constant in the sport of football: “S**t happens.”

That is how you explain Michigan beating Ohio State.

Bama wasn’t going on the road at any of those stadiums and winning this year. Now we beat Oklahoma and get a playoff home game at Bryant Denny we could have made some noise. Texas’ path to the Natty should be our path but we shite the bed in Norman.

Well, I'd say that was true when we lost to Ole Miss under Freeze - the game we had 5 turnovers.

But OSU play whooped UT... similar to the way OK whooped us.

Ohio State is arguably the most talented team in the country and they had something to prove last night. Nobody was beating them.

That home field is very important, and that Ohio State played mad.

They whipped the stinking Vols on the LOS so badly it was hilarious.

We’d have made a better matchup, but unless Milroe plays his LSU game, we lose.

If we had a qb that could read a defense, adjust, not get easily rattled and make short to intermediate throws, we would have beat ut this year.

If the refs don't arse-rape BAMA, they win even with Milroe playing like hot feet smell.

It reminded me a lot of the 2022 Peach Bowl, Ohio State outplayed Georgia for 3 qtrs, but Georgia has been behind in playoff games before and was able to withstand the onslaught and was able to come back. This was Tennessee's first time in the playoffs and they crumbled. I don't think they were ready for the different intensity level that are in playoff games.

Saban was talkng about crowd noise and how that affects the road team.
He said when it is so loud that the center cant hear the QB, then you have to go to a silent count, and that is just awful. And what make that even worse is when the home team gets an off week before the game. and the officials call back a TD pass because of a bogus "touching" call.

But what concerns me is how poorly out defense played against the hurry up, RPO quarterbacks with quick feet. lime Vandy, So Car and Oklahoma.
We couldnt get the ball back from the Vandy team. Our defense had no clue.
Auburn has the Oklahoma QB now, and we go to the barn. Lots of luck with that unless we get someone that can coach to stop the rpo offense.
