National Title Game may be delayed due to COVID issues at Ohio St.

Good point there's a s*** ton of $$ tied into that. Solution: Let Clemson play in it.

Do our guys have their unis cleaned yet!

Were there any guidelines for the bowl games/postseason? This isn't the big 10 rules anymore.

I'm guessing no, so Alabama could refuse to postpone and tell Ohio State they're playing.

I'm pretty sure I read/heard last week of a postponement date of Jan. 18 if necessary.
Yep, https://www.espn.com/college-footba...ts-makeup-dates-covid-19-forces-postponements

Sick of Bama's success but damn are they my favorite team right now.

 

[ca4cy]

Oklahoma, you're up.

FIFY

Ohio State just wants more time for Justin Fields to heal.

Maybe they could borrow Spencer Petras for a few days. Can’t imagine Alabama having a problem with that.

I totally agree with your sentiment, but there's way too much money tied up in this game for them to cancel it, unless it's the last resort. It's not about Ohio State...I mean, it's not ENTIRELY about Ohio State. People want that money. And if it means pushing the game back, they'll do it.

and that’s exactly why they should kick OSU to the curb on it and pick the next man up. OSU had no right to hold such a huge money making event hostage because they have issues staying healthy. They’re no better than everyone else.

Let Indiana play in their place.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

You just know Big 10 leaders are trying to figure out a way for Ohio State to not have to actually win or even play in the National Championship Game so they can declare them as national champs.

Sounds suspiciously familiar to something else going on right now.

Let Indiana play in their place.

Giving Indiana the death penalty, harsh.
RIP Indiana Football

 

[DurangoCy]

Just came to say - Seriously, **** Ohio State.

The game is January 11th end of story. Bring the 50-60 best players on your roster that aren't in COVID protocols/sick and take your medicine. Dan Mullen can help you craft your post game comments.

Heard they reached out to Iowa to fill in for tOSU.

KF declined, wouldn't be fair to college football, Iowa Fans, Iowa Players, Alabama players, broadcasters, equipment handlers, marching band, to name a few....

But they won't, though. Everyone else is done. Players are home. Coaches are on vacation. I don't like Ohio State any more than you do, but you're pissing into the wind, here.

Right on. I want it to be a slaughter. Feels weird to back the Tide.

 

[CascadeClone]

Per Ohio State rules, I am declaring myself winner of the 2020 Olympic Gold for mens luge.

As annoying as the IU-love has been, this'd be amusing ... more in-fighting and back-handing within the BiG.

 

[Al_4_State]

Guessing don't want Saturday Night because NFL Playoffs going at that time (this week & next). Friday would work but guessing TV execs don't want that because at least in "normal times" that usually isn't a good viewership night numbers wise.

I would bet viewership would increase. I haven't finished a national championship game since maybe the first Clemson one about 5 years ago.

 

[cmjh10]

Have us play, most announcers call us OSU at least once a game anyway. Most people probably wouldn't notice.

Staying healthy is a skill in sports.

To a point I agree. I find it alarming that Naz long had the hips of a 60 year old man before surgery. We push it too early in this country.

Naz's hip problem is pretty common. I have it. It is congenital and unrelated to the amount of basketball he's played.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Yes. Yes we can.

12-0, SEC and Rose Bowl Champions. Has a nice ring to it!
