It is going to be a really close call. One of them is gonna be pissed. I think I would take OSU honestly if they win convincingly tonight

OSU has been the committees darling from the start of these playoffs. So I can't imagine them not getting the benefit of the doubt here.
But on the other hand ALABAMA
Also, Kirby Smart is only 41 years old?? One year on the job has aged him

Auburn getting blown out hurts Alabama's chances a lot.
The two teams that win tonight will join Oklahoma and Georgia.

Is there anything less interesting than an SEC team trying to come from behind? If it ain’t play action it ain’t happening
So...erm, I may have called that putt a bit early. I'm still not impressed by all of the mistakes and stupid penalties Georgia has committed, but today really justifies the decision to move on from Richt, whose teams never rose to the occasion on days like this.
This whole game has felt pretty uninteresting, IMO. SEC may be the "best," but it's certainly not the most entertaining. Not by a longshot. The QB play across the board is really, really tough to watch.
I'm still surprised by all of the Ohio State talk. It's almost a foregone conclusion in everyone's minds that they beat Wisconsin tonight. Maybe that's a result of what happened a couple years back when OSU blasted them 55-0 or whatever, but I've been on this Wisconsin team all year, and I will be personally be shocked if they lay an egg tonight. I think their defense is unbelievable, and Jonathan Taylor is going to introduce himself to the world and everyone is going to say "Why isn't anyone talking about him for the Heisman?"
Now watch, OSU will beat them by 40+.
Is Arkansas really a step up from Auburn? Or is it just about money? They are just going to offer him so much more than Auburn would?
No not at all, but it is home for Gus so I can see why it would be attractive to him.
I know he's from there and he coached at Arkansas State, but I don't know if he went to UA. Even still, would that be enough to leave a pretty damn good program for a program that hasn't really been that for a long time?
Haha
I asked same thing last week
It's not
I guess money and closer to friends and stuff
He's absurdly on the hotseat every year at Auburn, he'll be a god in Arkansas
By what metric? Points scored? They held Iowa to 14 points. What did Iowa do to Ohio State?
I think there is a ton of money involved, and even if that's the reason, I've got no issue with it. Just seems curious to me. If he can turn that program around, he'll enter a new level among college coaches, that's for sure. I just don't know if it can be done, and to leave a National Title contender....It would have to be a loaaaaaaad of money.
Assuming he does leave, who would be on tap for Auburn?
I would rather have a bad loss and several good wins than no bad losses but literally no impressive wins the entire season. Alabama's resume is a joke and Auburn getting blown out today didn't make it any better.
By that metric, FAU is a better offense than any offense Ohio State has beaten, right?
As a Hogs fan, this is the answer. He goes 2-4 vs Bama and he gets a statue not a debate over whether he needs to be fired.
Same here. I know quite a few Wisconsin alums, and they're great fans, so my judgement might be clouded a bit. But I do love their defense.
If Hornibrook plays a good game, makes the throws he needs to make, I love them tonight. If they fall behind, and leave it on him, or if he makes some mistakes along the way, they'll get beaten.
Would love to see Miami win against Clemson, so the debate becomes Miami or Alabama instead of Ohio State/Alabama. If Clemson and Wisconsin win, we have our four, but if Miami wins, or if Miami and Ohio State win, all hell breaks loose.
I'm basically here. Not quite sure Bama's resume is a joke, but at the same time, it just isn't that good. It certainly isn't good enough to make it into the final four despite not winning their division
I'm not a big J.T. Barrett fan. The little bit of Haskins I saw looked pretty impressive, but Barrett is starting. Which is good.
I think Miami is in if they win. Should be and will be.
Can’t see Bucky winning tonight, but rooting for them given my sister is an alum.
I will be flipping back and forth, but which game should I primarily watch?
Edit: Gus Johnson is on the B1G game. Problem solved

Urban is so smart, any team he is coaching winning a game would never surprise me.
It'd really depend on the polls, wouldn't it? Same goes for Ohio State if they win.
It was 5 1/2 this afternoon and now down to 3.5-4. People are pounding Wisconsin
Yup. Just as the announcers were singing his praises, "best six quarters of his life, first Big Ten game without an int last week," yadda, yadda. You could almost feel it coming. Receiver was perfectly covered. No window to throw that into. They need to get back to running the ball, no matter how good he looked in the beginning of the drive.
