2017 Cotton Bowl | #5 Ohio State vs. #8 USC | December 29th, 2017 @ 8:30 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yup. I'm half-pissed, half-happy we didn't get into the CFP.

Obviously I'd love the chance, as 2014 proves that anything can happen, but I think Clemson would've rolled us. Now we get to root against Alabama so that the committee can look like jackasses.

Fun year. I'll never forget that Penn State game. Going to miss JT, even though he wasn't perfect.

What I just realized is the Buckeyes haven't had a senior QB finish his career as the full time starting QB since Troy till now.
 
Man I get criticized all the time for being negative but for a game that was never close there was a decent amount of bitching.

JT owns basically every record and did so with 3 different offensive coordinators. That regularly gets overlooked.
 
My biggest frustration is Clemson runs an offense that plays right into OSU’s front 4 hands.

An average QB, in a spread offense, with a good but not great O-line.

Our defense would’ve made their life hell. Which is what pisses me off.

And the SEC is 0-3 in Bowl Games. And the Big 10 is 5-0 in Bowl games.

So yeah.....

All the pundits will get to play hindsight being 20/20 after this bowl season, but the SEC sucked this year. Sucked. And they got 2 teams in the Final 4.....it’s astounding. ESPN/CFP should be embarrassed and ashamed.
 
Seriously....

SEC 0-3 in Bowl games. Alabama’s best win against a shittybLSU team that lost to Troy.

Big 10 5-0 in Bowl games, and OSU now has (4) top 10 wins.

But this is what happens when ESPN owns rights to SEC while getting to shit on Fox. It’s fucked up.

I’m not trying to be political, but it’d be like asking Fox News or MSNBC to pick the president. OSU got absolutely rail-roaded.

Yes, Iowa beat our ass.

But yes, Bama lost to an average Auburn team, should’ve lost to an average Miss St team, and had other close calls like Texas A&M. And Bama didn’t beat a single team better than our top 4 wins. And they don’t have a conference championship in the best league. It’s all kinda sick....

Lots of good points. We will have all offseason to discuss this. Right now the committee is praying Alabama shows up.
 
Are you really beating your chests because Ohio State won their Dec. 29th bowl game with almost zero contribution from J.T. Barrett? Come on now.
