I hate Philadelphia everything. Eagles Sixers Flyers Phillies Penn State The Union. They can all rot.
I definitely dislike Pennsylvania. But mostly Pittsburgh. Hate the Penguins and Steelers. I’m not a huge baseball guy but if I was I’d hate the Pirates. And ofc I hate Penn State.

Now, Michigan? That entire state can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.

Well said!

conference championship games should also be abolished
It makes me sad to say it, but I'm starting to agree with this. In a 12+ team format, I'm having trouble seeing the upside to one. Ohio State would have been at a greater disadvantage had they played in the Big 10 title game this year.

Conference championships already don't make sense with the woefully uneven scheduling in conference -- which is unavoidable. Getting rid of the conference championships makes a lot of sense to me.
I agree, but I also don't know the answer. Weighing strength of schedule can be so difficult until the games have actually been played.

UGA supposedly had the toughest schedule in college football, but that's looking more and more like a joke. OSU played Oregon, Penn State, a Michigan team that just dominated Alabama, and an Iowa team that only lost by three to Missouri. Isn't OSU's strength of schedule looking unquestionably tougher than UGAs now that the games have actually been played? Somehow the four top teams according to strength of schedule are SEC teams...

Right, there could have been three Oregon-OSU games. Agree with the other arguments too, since they have these massive conferences now that are too big for everyone to play each other and no Divisions, dare I say the conference tiebreakers are equivalent to the nonsense USTA league tiebreakers when every team match is tied 2-2 lol.

NIL is wild. Rumors that Michigan State is willing to pay 4-8 million for one year of Quinn Ewers. Why? Dude is mediocre with expansive talent in Texas. What would he be with the farmers and tax accountants Michigan State has?

I’m the farthest thing from a Notre Dame fan but that pass interference call leading to the Penn St TD was one of the worst calls in recent memory.
 
After the impossible to miss holding noncall and then the DPI call on the interception, I just smh again. Kudos to ND for overcoming both. I can’t watch football much anymore bc of the DPI rule and its application and how it favors offense so much. 3rd and long? NP, just throw in up for grabs and you’ll get DPI. Wide receivers can do as much pushing off as they like and they never get called, but corners make any contact whatsoever or impede WR in anyway & its DPI.

Bucks doing ok so far.
Ok is the key word, Ohio State needs to calm down and stick to what they've been doing. A number of balls have just Ben dropped our slightly out of reach for OSU's receivers which would have opened the game up.

Also I'm an Ohio State die hard. There was no targeting on the Texas tight end, and OSU 100% interfered on that 3rd down last possession.

Head coach has p1ss and sh1t running down his pants again. Please man they’ve annihilated us with their RB’s.
Yeah, his inability to make adjustments makes me really nervous right now. He threw haymakers against Tennessee and Oregon and they landed. He hasn't had to / couldn't (in the case of Michigan) win a dog fight against a team as tough as Texas this year. Fingers crossed here...

Ewers is just good enough to not get benched. Might win them a national championship but it also might cost them one.

Ohio State feels like the better team here.

The frustrating part for most of the game is that Ohio State played uptight and nervous for almost all of regulation and they struggled. When they are relaxed and aggressive they're virtually unstoppable.

9 minute drive baby. I think at this point, since I don’t like either team especially, go to 9 OT, then ND can win.

Stop the bleeding a bit. Buckeyes got too comfy and started panicking when ND fought back. That last play was a huge break for them, we can finish off the game here. Go Bucks
