The Big Ten might have to reconsider Oregon’s membership. It’s embarrassing that a school would be humiliated like this in the semifinals.

On the plus side Ohio State will finish 12-2 with close losses to the National Champions and the runner up. Not bad for a rebuilding year off of an NC and with two new coordinators.

This is kinda what I came on to post.  Ohio State's close loss to IU turned out to be REEEEEEEEALLY impressive.

At this rate we have to start talking Indiana among the greatest teams ever if they win the whole thing
Indeed.

Initially I thought that the bad loss was losing to Indiana but now it looks like that was a "good" loss and the bad one was losing to Miami.

Since you are more neutral than I, how would you rank the teams after the NC participants? Are the other two semi-finalists automatically 3/4 or no?

That's goddamned ridiculous.

Now, I kinda see the point from Kiffin's perspective... He's asking LSU:

"How much do you really want me? If I stay just another couple of weeks I might be in line for some pretty massive payouts. If you really want me, you'll compensate me for forgoing that."

But to write it into the contract in a way that gives him exactly the same amount of money, contingent on the same outcomes, for which he is no longer involved? That's BS. Negotiate out some signing bonus or whatever that makes him whole for what he's giving up but without actually making it LOOK like you're making him whole for what he's giving up.


I had a friend do this with a regular job. She was like a month and a half from a bonus and some stock vesting, and got the other job to give her that bonus and the stock.

Sorry dude, not your night.
That is a REALLY apt comparison...

The premise of "not your night" was that the mob had the fix in on the other guy team...

If *that's* what you're going for... I totally understand.

Well my first thought is, "is Miami even 2nd?"  But they are.
Looking at the seeds, OSU at 2 had the 'worst' loss in terms of seeding, but now it's not so bad.
TT us out of the top 5, obviously, Georgia is the tough one to rank.
I'd have Ole Miss 3rd, Georgia/Oregon 4th/5th maybe....then OSU.
As bad as Oregon's loss is to IU, their win over TT was big.
Maybe UGA-OSU-UO, in that order.  It doesn't really matter, it's just splitting hairs.  The thing about OSU is that it hurts your ranking, losing your final 2 games.

Just got home from an awesome night hanging out with friends, after a memorial service earlier today for a friend who left us way too young.  Made me hug my kids a liitle extra tight today.

But aside from that-- holy cow, Indiana.  This team is just killing it right now.  So impressive.
