Ohio State vs Illinois Cancelled

[BigTurk]

Easy, just change the rules and let OSU in even if they don't play another regular season game.

I was listening to ESPN radio today and the talking heads (not sure who they were) said this. They said there are so very few good teams deserving of the playoff that OSU should be allowed in even though they don’t meet the criteria because they are one of the few very good teams. I yelled at the radio and shut it off.

Go MSU! Cinci will get into the playoff if they decide to penalize tOSU. Really gonna be kicking ourselves for the Louisiana loss but oh well.

Door just opened a little more.

No question. Ohio State will get in. So many Big Ten **** suckers out there will creatively, mental masturbate themselves into believing Ohio State belongs.

 

[NWICY]

Fox commentators before the evening games were spending the whole time discussing why tOSU has worked so hard they need to be in the CFP, it's not their fault the Rona is interrupting their season. JFC they had OSU's **** so far down their throats I was surprised they could talk.

 

[HFCS]

Playoff committee would love a team with five data points when they also say 12 isn't enough.

Looks good to me.

what they get for doing what they did

 

[Gunnerclone]

Penn State to the CFP then.

 

[Cyclone06]

Thank goodness the Big10 took a stand and delayed the start of the season. They really have things figured out because of it! Well done, we are so impressed with your fore thought and leadership.

I mean part of why they're having lots of issues appears to be a more stringent standard in terms of quarantining players and such who have been exposed.

You can argue on those criteria, but if that's what they'd decided, it seems like they were right if they saw this as the inevitable result and wanted to try going in spring. But then it became clear that everyone else wasn't going to do that so they got forced back into trying to make a go of it in fall.

 

[Cyclone06]

47! my word. Might as well get it in and out of that same time I suppose.

 

[BCClone]

Must not have 6 foot between oars on the boat.

 

[HFCS]

Seriously, it doesn't make sense for the conference to get a spot this year.

The Big Ten loaded committee once told us 12 data points wasn't enough. Now 5-7 data points is magically enough to know about these teams when lots of other teams are going to have 10 or 11?

If only the B12, SEC, and ACC would’ve adopted the b1gs protocols they wouldn’t have had to end their seasons six weeks ago. Nothing you said is even remotely true.

Is someone arguing that 47 cases is better than what the big XII has? What big XII has popped that many? Did Baylor? MN obviously has no controls in place if it spread like that.

Well the B12 isn’t testing enough nor quarantining long enough apparently. So we have all those positive cases playing in games. Yet it’s working somehow. It really is amazing.

It's weird that the group that had the most time to learn what to do, didn't learn anything at all.

The NFL looks kinda stupid too. They should have shortened the season by a couple of games and gave more chances for postponed/make up games.
