Extreme Cold Weather = Advantage Big 10

Whoever runs long distance knows that it’s very easy running down south, especially in the winter.
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, super easy to breathe during outdoor runs in the winter.
Where as running up north in extreme cold takes acclimation. It initially hurts to breath during the first few runs, especially sprints until your lungs get used to it.
In my 21 years in the Army, outdoor running down south was definitely easier.
The cold frigid outdoor climates will favor the Big 10 during future playoffs.
Take the NFL as example. The Dolphins are atrocious up north in cold climates.

There’s more to football than just running around.

Let's try actually sending a good team up there to play and see how they do before we start throwing in the towel.

Cold weather benefits the team who is more physical up front and controls the line of scrimmage. There have been plenty of high flying Packer offenses that lost at home in the playoffs, and you could argue the cold is what slowed them down.

UtK is situated in the Appalachian mountains and I'm pretty sure it gets cold there too.
The cold had nothing to do with the arse pounding UtK took.

I’m not sure why they don’t use the bowl games as early rounds

The speed of the SEC sets them apart from the rest of college football.
That speed advantage gets negated when you’re sucking in wind breathing for your life.

25 degrees isn't that cold. This isn't like going to Green Bay or Minnesota in the winter time.
Tennessee just isn't a very good team and OSU finally got it's head out of its arse.

I get that they say this but it has only been cold a few weeks and isn’t cold most of the year.
Just bc they played in cold one time doesn’t mean they are suddenly great at it.
The advantage was being at home.

The weather effect is all mental. If you let it affect you, it will. If it does, you’re already beaten before you take the field. Once you’re out there running around, you should warm up and forget about the weather. Both teams have to play in it.
I absolutely love the playoff games being on campuses. There is nothin like that kind of atmosphere. I would love to see every round on campuses until the championship game.

The two best players on offense for Ohio State last night were a kid from Miami and a transfer from Ole Miss.
The team with better players and coaches wins. Ohio State had both.
Also, do people travel? The difference in climates between the Big-10 and the SEC September through November isn’t like Jamaica vs Siberia. Outside of Florida the weather isn’t that drastically different.

The same teams, but played in the bowl games. How does that suck?
Same teams
Location generally better weather
No home team advantage

I was wondering the same thing.
It was 28 at game time in Columbus, and my home weather station had 32 at game time just north of Atlanta. Big difference...
