Herbstreit just de facto called Michigan chickenchit and implied they will dodge Ohio State that was hilarious.

Rece Davis tried to clean that up and Herbie didn’t really back down.

I think that is Harbaugh's plan but can we wait for it to happen before we start calling people out.

Decent apology but incredibly stupid remarks.

 

[Briancuse]

As he should.

 

[DeGrozz]

Didn't catch Herbie's comments, but his apology seems legit (and commensurate with what I heard second-hand).

He's been a good enough guy for a long enough time that he deserves a pass if he made a mistake during a global pandemic.

It really wasn’t that bad.
It was only an issue for him because he never says anything critical and always spins the positive because he gets an access from the coaches.

He said Michigan would wave the white flag and use Covid to shutdown their football program and screw Ohio State out of the Big Ten title game.

It’s probably true but Herbie isn’t the type of guy to say that.
He is only apologizing because he doesn’t want to lose that access he gets from other coaches.

He said Michigan didn't have the guts to play Ohio st. He shouldn't have said it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I hope they do not play I would LOL. Or play and beat those OSU bozos

 

[upperdeck]

i hope the dont play.. i got futures tickets on Indiana/NW..

Well what if he is right?

Anyone else think that a 4-0 team shouldn't be ranked ahead of Florida, Texas a&m, Cincinnati and others... 4 games isnt a big enough sample size to be ranked ahead of other teams rn.

Can he wait for it to happen first?

 

[upperdeck]

are we saying who we think the best 4 teams are right now or who we think deserves to get in 3 weeks from now?

OSU wont be 4-0 anyway.. probably 5-0 or 6-0 if they dont play in the B10 title game.

Any does winning 2 more games in the B10 really mean anything considering how bad the play is there this year?

 

[Alsacs]

Here is the clip of Herbie calling Michigan out preemptively.

No their schedule is terrible this year.

 

[bpo57]

No their schedule is terrible this year.

It's not the players fault of course but if OSU is left out and has any grievance they should take it up with Kevin Warren and several of the other B1G administrators.

 

[upperdeck]

so who did play a good schedule?

Clemson played ND and lost.. I guess if you think Miami is any good then nothing else
OSU played Indiana then nothing

ND played Clemson and Miami

Cinci is gonna live off Tulsa? and? turns out army/SMU were not very good either
BYU played no one

now OSU played less games

the SEC is left

ALA beat TAM and GA
GA played only Florida who was any good and lost
FL lost to TAM and beat GA
TAM beat Florida and lost to Ala

is a couple more games against Ark and Miss better than not playing at all?

Committee is using the eye test for about 70% and then sprinkling in head to head and conference strength for the other 30%.

BYU is really the only school the committee isn’t giving respect too.

I do think BYU should be ahead of Indiana.
I got Wisconsin -13.5 over Indiana this week and feel that is safe.
Wisconsin is going to be pissed and Indiana without their starting QB. Wisconsin big this week.

I also think Ohio State might be better off playing the Iowa-Wisconsin winner next week than Northwestern.

Northwestern beat both of those teams so they are definitely a top 25 team but Wisconsin-Iowa have bigger football brands.

Ohio State needs atleast 6 wins to get into the CFB IMO.
I really don’t care they didn’t play Maryland or Illinois they beat both by 3 TDs atleast IMO.

Just beat one of Michigan schools and the best West team they can play on December 19th.

I wouldn’t put them above 4 in the final standings though.

If Clemson beats Notre Dame you have them play the rubber match in the semifinals unless Florida beats Alabama.

If Florida beats Alabama then I could see Ohio State being left and if Clemson beats Notre Dame we get a pair of SEC vs. ACC semifinals.

I think Notre Dame and Alabama have clinched spots in the Final 4 barring losses this weekend.

I picked up IU earlier in the week at +14.5 Penix is a big loss but Tuttle, the back up QB, looked good in relief and was a four star QB coming out of Cali. Allen's team plays hard every time out. This game should be competitive.

 

[Alsacs]

BYU is going to play Coastal Carolina if Liberty can’t play them this week.

USC might also be available if Wazzu can’t play.

 

[Willy75]

This would be a good year to experiment with an eight team playoff.
