I want OSU to lose

[kicker22]

Bama had 3 losses and I'm not a Bama fan by any means, but Bama's win against Georgia is far superior to any win on ND's schedule. I agree that Iowa is a better team, but we had our chances as well and came up short. My argument is that I think Bama should be in but rather if it came down to Miami, ND, and Bama in my opinion it's blatantly obvious that ND should be left out and rightfully so. Do I believe there's a bias toward the SEC in the polls absolutely. But ND's schedule was an absolute embarrassment. You ask who I think would belong over ND? I honestly think Texas or BYU had a better resume and argument then either ND or Bama.

I'm not going to sit here and hide the fact that I despise ND. They played a Charmin soft schedule, they lost their two biggest games, they beat two teams ranked 20-25, while demolishing absolute bottom feeders the remainder of the way. It is their own fault they didn't have one more chance to secure a win against a top 20 team, but refuse to join a conference. Why should they get preferential treatment?

Alabama is getting embarrassed and I love it. Cignetti is running up the score. Good.
F@@@ tide. Now 38-3. Still 10:00 to go.

I will never, ever understand how Indiana evolved over night.

Nobody saw that coming... But with how this yr went I did see Indiana smoking Bama coming. Bama got down 17-0 their previous game and I said then to my brother they damn well better not get down 17-0 against Indiana cause they'll keep their foot on the gas and blow you out. That's exactly how it went.

Bama didn't deserve that playoff spot frankly. Everyone kept saying that was between Miami and ND. Well that wasn't the case Bama with their terrible loss to FSU stuck out like a sore thumb to me. If Bama and Indiana played 10 times Indiana rolls them 8 or more of em. I think the better game woulda been had ND been in. I'm no ND fan I'm really glad they got screwed honestly they should be in a conference. But from just an on the field aspect they woulda gave Indiana more a run for their money.

Cignetti is 100% the real deal, total package.

He's there to win ballgames and not money, and knows he can do both at a program that isn't gonna fire him after a 9-3 season. He doesn't get too high on the highs, nor too low on the lows. The guy cut his teeth at Alabama and learned how to do what he does at a lower tier school first. Keeps his team firmly grounded when everything is going wild. Gets 100% buy in from players and knows how to recruit. It would also stand to reason that he hires coaches who have a similar mindset as him. Now that NIL is legal he operates in a world where Indiana can get the players that Bama, Texas, nebraska, and Miami used to get with, money, hookers, and covering up crimes...although I don't see him as the type who'd recruit kids who beat up their girlfriends or hang out at nightclubs till 3AM.

Indiana or not I'm a huge Cignetti fan and I'll always root for a guy like that (unless he was coaching at nebraska) over a Saban, Osborne, Kiffin, or Smart.

Every single day of the week. Go Hoosiers.

That's also why I'm not bitter about Iowa's losses to Indiana and Oregon. We're better than ND IMO, but we knew the path to the playoff going into the season and we didn't get it done. It's black and white because there's a sure fire way into the playoff...win your conference...and it's like I used to tell players bitching about balls/strikes...take it out of the umps' hands and you won't have to worry about it.
