    NO

    Not when you blow a 21 point lead...that's a fucking farce if that happens

    Hell of a year for this team. Given our shortcomings on defense, I'm honestly shocked that we went 12-1 with a B1G Championship.

    This honestly might've been Urban's best coaching job at TOSU. Definitely deserves the B1G COY award, but we all know how that goes.

    I hope Kelly Bryant was watching this game. If Haskins leaves, we should be at the top of his list.

    That being said, I hope Haskins stays for one more year.

    In its last 4 games Ohio State has beaten 3 committee ranked teams by 20+ but somehow each win has been diminished

    It was never about wins. It's about losses. 24-55, 20-49

    It sucks that Haskins was paired with arguably our worst defense in my recent memory. If we had a competent defense who knows how far this team goes.

    Wrong. Go back to the first two years of this system and it was about who you played and your quality wins. Now, each year it has changed to fit the teams they view as the best and not necessarily who deserves a shot at the title. Stop calling it a national championship because it is only for a few schools and most are shut out of the opportunity.

    Why are they not talking about ND NOT playing an extra game? The same team that beat NW by 10 pts.

    Because the system is broken.

    Because they are undefeated.

    This system isn't broken. That implies that it was once functional.

    We've never had a proper way of determining a National Champion in College Football, and it's ridiculous that we get into these arguments at the end of every season. I hope this lights a fire under the Big Ten's ass, and that they push for EXPANSION immediately.

    I've been saying this since the BCS... We need a 10-team playoff.

    7, 8, 9, and 10 are wildcard "play ins," and 1-6 are autobids.

    P5 conference champions automatically qualify, and the rest of the top 10 fills in the remaining spots with no conference allowed more than 3 teams.

    This year's playoff would've been.

    1. Alabama (autobid)
    2. Clemson (autobid)
    3. Notre Dame
    4. Oklahoma/Ohio State (autobid)
    5. Oklahoma/Ohio State (autobid)
    6. Washington (autobid)
    7. UCF
    8. Michigan
    9. UGA
    10. Florida/Penn State/Washington State (depending on final vote)

    How the bracket would play out:

    #1 Alabama
    #8 UM or UF (wildcard)

    #4 Oklahoma
    #5 Ohio State
    ---------------------
    #2 Clemson
    #7 UGA or UF/PSU/WSU (wildcard)

    #3 Notre Dame
    #6 Washington

    This would also make Conference Championship games must-watch TV, as the winners would automatically qualify for the playoff, and the losers would have to hope to stay highly enough ranked to finish in the top 10 (and likely have to play in the wildcard game.

    This format would also add just one game onto the playoff season for the top 6. The Wild Card teams would obviously have two games added.
