Hey, it was a guess. Never had one.

But what about actual buckeyes?

Toxic, if eaten raw. Nasty, but not toxic, if properly prepared.

Well now I see why it's a Gelato. To stay on topic, I'd probably rather eat Wolverine Gelato than that. Especially if it's apple wood smoked Wolverine.

Oh no, I have tickets to the Bucs game and I won't be able to watch the playoff selection show.

no Ohio State pleaae.

There's an Ohio State joke hiding in there somewhere.

Maybe a whole website dedicated to: "yo' nuts so nasty...."

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Washington
4. Florida State


5. Oregon


If Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and FSU win.

Georgia vs FSU

Michigab vs Washington


If Oregon win....


Georgia vs Oregon

Michigan vs FSU

it is clear that FSU is the weakest team out of the 4 teams.

Sorry bro

Big Ten Conference fact of the day

The West representative has never beaten the East in the conference title game.

[Navybuc]

I hate the transfer portal. It’s part of the whole reason I think college football is going down a bad road that’s not good for the game. “Hey I don’t like my coach. I’m just going to go play for another one.” What’s the whole point of signing day? Still think there should be one-year penalty for anyone who wants to leave their school. NIL can stay intact if they want.

Then there’s this stupid 12-team playoff. Why should teams like
Missouri and PSU get a shot at playoff when they’ve already proven they can’t beat the best? 12 teams is just way too many…kinda like these stupid conferences alignments.

I hate to vent, but I don’t like what’s happening to the game I love. It’s going down a bad path.

I admit that I'm kind of bias seeing how FSU has absolutely murdered the portal.. that said something irks me about it. To your point about 'Hey I don't like my coach'.. it's also not fair that a kid comments to a program because of staff only to see the coaches leave (for whatever reason) and then to expect the kid(s) to stay committed to a program when they were committed to the coaches that recruited them.

My neighbor committed to FSU/Jimbo and then transferred to A&M when Jimbo left. It turned out that he transferred back to FSU after a serious injury but point is, he was committed to Jimbo.

But... but..... they are supposed to be more concerned about the academic institution, because that's what they are there for: to get an education. Right?

I'm not sure you're allowed to suggest they're there for any other reason because that would be racist.

when the professors sit in the living room of an athlete, then this angle would have plausibility

[Phantom]

I concur with NavyBuc . Due to that, my interest has waned, cause me to solely focus on the Michigan game.

Perhaps they should. In fact, that's a pretty damned good idea.

If a kid signs somewhere because of a specific coach or system you don’t think that kid should be allowed to leave that school if the coach leaves?

And as far as they playoff and proving you can’t beat the best.. In 2020 the Saints beat us twice in the regular season. Aren’t you glad the Bucs got another chance?

Ohio State would love another crack at Michigan on a neutral field I’m sure. Same for Alabama and Texas.

All sorts of things happen during a season that may cause you to lose a game or two. It has always been silly to me that you can’t play for a championship if you slip up once.

I love the transfers and playoff. I’ve been more interested in college than ever before because of it.

One thing I can say in FSU's favor from that meme is that FSU's close game with UF featured 2nd time starter, Tate Rodemaker. Um... Who? Yes. Tate Rodemaker. His one saving grace is that this is his 4th season in this program. So he is at least capable of understanding what FSU likes to do on offense now that he's been forced into a starting role. If he can beat Louisville Saturday, he will most likely be the unquestioned starter as a 5th year senior next season. I'm assuming Jordan Travis is heading to the NFL this offseason.

[Snake]

Everyone knows Georgia Michigan and Ohio State are three of the top four teams. The question is, who is the 4th?

[Phantom]

As of right now, Washington, but tonight game will answer your question.

I’m not saying a kid can’t leave. I just like the old system where you have to sit out a year if you decide to transfer. However, I think there should be a petition process where in your scenario, a player can file to enter the portal without penalty and that be granted if found appropriate. My fear is this is going to lead down a road where everyone wants to just leave a school because they don’t like it. It takes away the signing process and it could hurt the smaller schools who have developing athletes stolen away by power programs. In the NFL, you can’t just walk away from a team if you don’t like it.

As for the playoff, I like the expansion…I just think it’s too many. I’ve always proposed six teams. I even think 8 would be okay. I just think 12 is too many.

But of the three concerns, conference realignment is my biggest gripe. The fact you are forming these super conferences with teams from the east coast and west coast together is just plain stupid. There are growing rumors FSU and Clemson may be interested in the SEC. Well that would destroy the ACC.

[Phantom]

I believe that the conference championship will be eliminated.

Interesting but not surprising. Pundits automatically buried FSU when Travis got hurt, so now they're looking anywhere and everywhere they can for confirmation.

[Phantom]

Who is the new #4?

Texas, Alabama?? If they win the conference championship.'. Great news for them

Florida State Seminoles Football quarterback Tate Rodemaker, who started the team's final regular season game, will be a game-day decision for Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

[Noles1724]

Fsu wins with freshman 3rd string qb, that should only solidify their status as one of the best "teams"

[Phantom]

Definitely

[Navybuc]

Haha I mean, a part of me would happy to get into final 4…the other part would be “Oh shit, we have to play Georgia with a backup qb. We’re screwed.”

[Navybuc]

So if this was next year, would this weekend mean anything? I mean Oregon vs Washington, instead of being virtually playoff game, would be “Who is going to get a bye.” Same with Georgia-Bama game. Michigan-Ohio State would play yet again for seeding purposes only.

Part of reason I wish they only expanded playoff to just 6 or 8 teams.

[Phantom]

Read above what I said, it is possible that they will eliminate the conference championship.

[Navybuc]

it is possible that they will eliminate the conference championship.

I guess, but these conferences are too big, and half these teams aren’t even gonna play each other, plus there’s gonna be no divisions….ugh….just a headache thinking about 20 team super conferences.

[Phantom]

Blame it on the Big Ten West division. lol

[Phantom]

I believe that the SEC and Big Ten will be similar to the NFL.

Think of AFC and NFC.

Big Ten vs SEC National Championship!!!

[Doctor]

Penix > Nix

[Navybuc]

If Washington and Georgia win, I would assume Georgia would choose Sugar Bowl game. Which means Rose Bowl gets one final Big 10 vs PAC 10 matchup on New Years Day.

[Phantom]

Oregon always chokes in big games.
