AubTiger14 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ohio St. was on the bubble...needed to win big Wisconsin was favored by 4.5, and had been playing good football. Ohio St. wins 59-0 Barry Alvarez is on the committee Ohio St gets in the playoff Wisconsin's coach leaves for......Oregon St??

BJ17 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) I doubt Ohio State is really 59 points better. It is clear now that Wisky's HC had already made up his mind by then to leave for Oregon State. He and the staff had zero focus in that game. Also it's no surprise that OSU got in over TCU or Baylor. They played an extra/conference championship game. Also I think part of the rules is that the committee members don't have a say in schools they have ties with nor the conference either.

AubTiger14 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I thought it last week too. Wisconsin's coach leaving the school now makes me even more convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I thought it last week too. Wisconsin's coach leaving the school now makes me even more convinced. I don't buy that explanation...the coach planning to leave does not mean the players tank the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackydoodle 200 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Is real life so boring for some that there needs to be some mysterious conspiracy behind everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 My personal take is that when OSU got down to their 3rd string qb Wisconsin may have gotten a little cocky and didn't have the right mindset coming in. Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Once OSU got on a roll they couldn't be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think Ohio State was a team that improved throughout the season and the better team simply won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
