Running CFB playoff thread

[Chef2]

How about the guy that put .85 on a 14-leg parlay…….last leg was Ohio State M/L for $147,000…….sold it for $17,000
Whoops.

Nah, take the cash.

Herbstreit tearing up in the postgame, wtf?

I’m 50-50
Yes. He’s a professional journalist
Yes. He’s also the father of a player

 

[Della9250]

Yes. He’s also the father of a player

Who hasn't played in a game in two years.

It's not Bob Greise calling Brian in the Rose Bowl

Herbstreit tearing up in the postgame, wtf?

"but this team because of what they went through to get to this point"

oh the adversity

 

[SixToe]

He's a journalist?

 

[swingline]

Is it just me or does Fowler still kinda suck on PxP?

I don’t usually pay attention to Fowler when he’s doing a game, but he seemed to get a lot of stuff wrong tonight.

Ohio State wins National Championship

Still fires Ryan Day for losing to Michigan.

OSU finally fires Day!

Say whaa?

Who made the call to let this fat **** on?

I was only half watching at that point, but the second his face hit the screen, I turned the game off and went to bed. **** that noise.

They just won the national championship. Hard to call them delusional after that.

He did graduate from and play for OSU.

So out of the 11 playoff games, there was one that was legitimately dramatic (Az. State-Texas), one competitive with a late decisive play (OSU-Texas), one kinda upset (ND-Georgia), and the rest blowouts. In the 10 NFL playoff games so far, there have been three wildly dramatic games decided in the last two minutes (Commies-Bucs, Bills-Ravens, Eagles-Rams), one big upset (Commies-Lions), and the rest snoozers or absolute blowouts. That really looks like random difference to me. And yet, I get more interest in the NFL playoffs as they go on, while the college playoff is eerily like its March Madness equivalent. I was more interest at the start than at the finish.
Is this me, or is it an experience endemic to college sports?

Yes, three decades ago and OSU has won national titles since. I don't think Herbstreit has had a great few weeks with all the playoff flip-flopping and criticizing, and then he goes full waterfall after the natty. Just not impressed.

It occurs to me that Ryan Day's baller move would be to jump into another thread and take one of the vacant NFL jobs. "Let Chip beat Michigan for you, you ungrateful jerks. I'm outta here."

They're never going to talk about how emotionally fragile that man is, all the way down to needing an emotional support animal. Then again, maybe they can't at this point because it's a HIPAA violation.

Would be great if he retired and moved someplace warm. He can't need more money and his family would be better off. That fan base cannot be satiated; last night will wear off in nine months.

Ohio State fans not only want to win 85 pervent of their games, beat Michigan and win the national title. They want you to be an unrepentant asshole while doing it. And they expect you to be from Ohio. So John Cooper and Ryan Day, no matter how much success they have, can never be Paul Brown, Woody Hayes, Jim Tressel or Urban Meyer.

It’s an insane standard. He should stay one or two more years and then cash in at an NFL or less pressure-filled college program that will still pay him like a top five coach with a 10-year contract and treat him like a king.

I think I can speak for another poster when I say we were wildly more interested at the start than at the end.
