Both announcers and the rules analyst in the Navy game mystified that the booth didn't review a catch made by Temple because the receiver only got one foot in bounds and they were sure his second foot wasn't in. They couldn't understand how it was a catch.

How do people get these jobs?

Twice in a row now, Temple stalls out and forces their kicker to get some practice in on long FGs. Fortunately for them, he's 1-1 in these last two drives.

Also, Navy is uncharacteristically loose with the ball today - two turnovers when they had less than ten all year, I think.

What nobody is talking about is why in the world is Ohio State is rated so damn highly?

They are a single bad ref call (Michigan) and a single bad play call (MSU) from being 0 for 3 against the power teams of the Big Ten East.

Let that sink in.  Ohio State could easily be zero for three against Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State.

What exactly is it that is supposed to be so phenomenal about them this year?  That they beat Oklahoma in September?  That's nice.  How does that make you an undisputed #2 in the entire country?

Oklahoma is struggling with OK State right now.  Root for Ok State to beat Oklahoma and win the Big 12.  It will take some of the false luster off of Ohio State's September win.

If Ohio State does make the CFP, it should be no better than 4th and they should have to play Alabama in the 1st round.

I agree, but they do only have one loss.  Who should be ahead of them?  Clemson?  Washington?  Both of those teams had issues and near losses too.  and weak schedules in some ways.  I hate Ohio but they should definitely be in the playoff.  Maybe as a 3 or 4.

If Oklahoma loses, OSU won't have a win over the Big 12 champ and of course they won't have won the Big Ten or even their division.

So if Clemson and Washington are their conference champs, they should be ahead of non-conference champ OSU.  They will aslo have an extra win versus OSU.

Ohio State has not done anything remarkable enough to be ranked ahead of teams that are conference champs and have an extra win.

Sucks. I have no interest in these games. Had UM defeated OSU like they should have (oh wait, they did until the refs forgot about OSU's paying them extra), I'd be watching all of them.

We will not be getting any breaks or even a fair shake from the B1G.  Only 1 solution....be more insane than he already is and build a machine that blows out every thing in its way.

Just shit on everyone and smile when you lift the trophies.

WTF OK State??

You have the ball on the 40, 12 seconds left, a time out, and you just run it out?

And people keep talking about Michigan's errors?

What does everyone think of Baker Mayfield's Heisman chances? Last I saw, I think Mayfield had the 2nd highest odds behind Lamar Jackson.

Still think we have a chance with a Clemson loss. Thankfully there won't be long to wait to hear what will happen should the upset occur.
