Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 30 OBD Fans It's Week 10 and We're Still No. 1! It's Electrifying! So Watts! 2005 - The regular season concluded at 10 games. 11 - With a 24 team playoff, FCS plays 11 regular season games. 2024 - The Champion of College Football in 2024/25 will play 16 or 17 games. 1/20/25 - The date the Playoff Champ Game will be played in Atlanta on a Monday so as not to conflict with NFL Playoff games. Gentlemen and Ladies, start and end the season earlier. It's not that hard to figure this out. 'Hey, Brutus, where in The H did the O go?" "Indiana you say? The Hoosiers are dotting the I? HOO knew?" 64 - net rushing yards. 2.1 yard average, .79 yards before contact put up by tOSU against Nebraska on Saturday. This vs. a Nebraska team that in the process of being Hoosier Husker Hosed the Saturday before in Bloomington, surrendered 215 rushing yards at 6.5 yards a clip. 1 for 10 On 3rd Down - Chipper has the run game rolling, right? 3 - Number of healthy O Tackles on the Buckeyes roster. 1 Red Shirt Sophomore with next to no time on the field of play and 2 True Frosh with no time on the field of play. Not only did the Buckeyes lose in Eugene losing starting tackle Simmons was a B1G blow to Brutus. 13 of 19 - completions by Michigan QB Davis Warren for 123 yards and a TD in the win vs. Sparty with QB Alex Orji rushing for 64 yards and a TD on 6 carries. 187 yards from the Michigan QBs in 2023 is Michigan-Man Tom Brady-like. Less than 100 - A 'perfect' Big 10 game. In Iowa's 40 to 14 win over Northwestern, neither team put up 100 yards passing. Streaks - Good and Not SO Good. 0 - The number of minutes 8-0 Indiana has been behind this season. 0 - 7 - The number of games Penn State won from 2021 through 2023 when trailing at the half. 3 - 0 - The number of games 7-0 Penn State has won in 2024 when trailing at the half. 1-22 - Penn State's record vs. Top 5 ranked teams since 2000. 1-9 - James Franklin's record vs Ohio State. 4-16 Franklin vs. Michigan and Ohio State. 2-22 - Matt Ruhle's record vs ranked teams. 2016 - The last time Nebraska went bowling. Longest 'losing' streak by a Power team. 27 straight losses by Nebraska to ranked teams. 35 One-Score games in a row lost by the Cornhukers. 0 preseason Cornhusker respect accorded to No. 1 OBD. 104 - Before Saturday's loss at A+M, the number of games in a row won by LSU when leading at halftime by 10+ points. WOW! 2nd - B1Ggest loss by Illinois last Saturday since the Illini started balling in 1890. Week 10 Games With a Playoff Punch. No. 1 OREGON -15.5 at NR Michigan - 12:30 CBS No. 4 Ohio State -3.5 at No. 3 Penn State - 9 AM FOX No. 10 Texas A+M -2.5 (Hmmm?) at NR South Carolina - 4:30 ABC No. 13 Indiana -6.5 at NR Michigan State - 12:30 Peacock No. 18 Pitt +7.5 at No. 20 SMU - 5 PM ACC Network No. 15 Boise State -23.5 vs NR San Diego State - FRIDAY 8 PM FS1 No. 5 Miami -20.5 vs NR Duke - Another brutal ACC game for the Canes. For Duke coach Manny Diaz, this one is personal. 9 AM ABC Taking a nap - No. 6 Texas, No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 9 BYU, No. 14 Alabama, No. 16 LSU, No. 22 WAZZU !, No. 23 Bowl Eligible Colorado, No. 25 Mizzou.

Jon Joseph Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted October 31 9 Losses in 6 Seasons. Coach, You Stink! Forget Michigan. For Ryan Day, Penn State might be the most important game SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Ohio State doesn't have any wiggle room left. It has to beat Penn State to stay in contention to reach the B1G title game ... and possibly the Playoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar No. 4 Share Posted November 2 "35 One-Score games in a row lost by the Cornhuskers." That is almost statistically impossible without human intervention and intent. Does the Oracle of Omaha or other local Berkshire Hathaway buddies have a vendetta against the Huskies, paying players and coaches sums of money they can't refuse to throw the games when they are close? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 5 Share Posted November 2 (edited) On GameDay, Saban said that "Oregon is the only team in the top 15, offense and defense". Can that be right? Jon Wilner is the 1 AP voter who didn't have Oregon No.1, he had 7-1 Georgia. Apparently, wins over Clemson and Texas, offset a loss to Alabama and puts Georgia above 8-0 Oregon, with W's over Boise State, Illinois and Ohio State.

HappyToBeADuck No. 6 Share Posted November 2 If tOSU loses to Penn State it will weaken OBD's quality win over the Buckeyes. As long as Georgia stomps Florida I expect the committee to vote Georgia #1. Bias? Maybe. If Georgia wins out they will add powerful wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee to their resume. OBD's have no meat left on their schedule. But thats the course in a beauty pageant. Just win out, put the BIG Trophy Title on the mantle and make a deep run in the CFP.

Jon Joseph Author Moderator No. 7 Share Posted November 3 30, Saint Nick is NEVER wrong! Happy, didn't happen. But, Illinois lost at home to Minnie-Ha-Ha. This does not help the cause but Boise's blow out win helps. Iowa State and K State lost today. Boise should it win out may not be the 12 seed and could be a conference champ 4 seed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
