he should have called King Barry
both programs wouldn't have to defend their weak schedules this season
Wouldn't help, he won't play true road games.  Wisconsin already played them in Jerry World a couple years ago.  Hollis told him if he didn't want a home and home he could shove it and pay up back out of it

good for Hollis.
That is how it should be. Neutral site games in Dallas and Atlanta are lame. Michigan has done them as well, and I hate it.

Wait! What?!? 

BS explanation by the committee. 

When the SEC plays nine conference games, get back to the rest of the college football world.

So Ohio State lost to Iowa at Iowa? Isn't this the same Iowa team that beat Iowa State? The same Iowa State team that beat Oklahoma?

And the fault of losing terribly to a bad team.
It's that 9th conference game thing as opposed to, I dunno, maybe Mercer?

Saban wouldn't come to Madison either. Only "neutral" site games in the South work for them.

Nick Saban just said Alabama had to play Mercer because it couldn't find a game with anyone else. 

Coach, with all due respect:  You are full of SHIT!!!

There was some crappy sketch comedy show in the 90s that had an skit featuring an automated censor machine. 

It was clearly a robotic voice that would be dubbed over the dialogue with comically cheesy substitutions for curse words. 

"Buttocks" was one such correction that was frequently implemented.

If the Big Ten is serious about the CFP, the path is clear...

1.) Move back to 8 conference games
2.) No more road OOC games
3.) Bring back FCS opponents.

For all the talk, the committee clearly still looks at just how many losses you have.  Alabama doesn't have anything resembling a good win.  Hell, MSU has better wins than 

 does.

Bingo, although it unfortunately hurts the fans. But the committee needs to quit touting scheduling as its BS.

I have no issue with OSU being out, they were up and down, got housed by an average Iowa team, they were a very good team, but not great team. 

But, if you are going to let Bama in this year how did 2015 Ohio state get left out with very similar details. That team was hands down better than this Alabama team, it lost 1 game in a rain storm on a last second field goal.

Last years penn st team should have gotten in over Washington as well.

The SEC has a lower bar to clear than the rest of the P5. 

If you lower your standards to theirs, it will only be used against you.
