How to watch, anyone have a stream?
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
I am getting older, so not as much of a stream, more like a dribble.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:37 PM ^
Underrated. And disgusting, but mostly underrated.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
How long do i have to watch this garbage before they make the announcement.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
Last year it was fairly quick.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
I read 12:15 EST. They can’t drag for too long I think because fans want to transition to NFL.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
Michigan defeated TCU?
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
Saw that lol. Good job ESPN.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
They dont even try anymore for anyone other than their SEC Brand
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:16 PM ^
ESPN is probably tighter with the ACC then the SEC and they don't even have the playoff games. Wouldn't they want the SEC teams in their bowls? That's kind of how I see it.

Breaking: TCU to B10
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
inside info -- mortal lock
1/washington
2/Blue
3/ Texas
4/bama
they will screw FSU -- we remember 1973 selection by Big 10 that year --
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
No way Washington jumps Michigan. Nothing about the last 2 days would change the committee’s mind about the 2 teams.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Id take it. Let Michigan be #2 and avoid the Bama for a week.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Not suggesting that it's happening, but beating Oregon is a lot more impressive than beating Iowa (not a jab at Michigan).
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
Counterpoint, I'd much rather beat ohio state once than Oregon twice
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Washington needed a last second field goal to survive unranked Washington State just a week ago. That should matter.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
And doing it a second time as a 10 point underdog. Agreed.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
That line was idiotic though.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
With very real respect to OSU, I think Michigan's win over OSU is the best win of the year. Including Bama beating Georgia; this iteration of Georgia is not what they were the last 2 years.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:15 PM ^
But it’s not like this is the first ranking. We have weeks of history. Even when Michigan’s best win was UNLV and Washington had a win vs. Oregon, the committee had Michigan over them. So for them to reverse course now would make no logical sense.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
Committee: Hold my beer
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
sure, but why would you just compare one game? seems arbitrary.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:21 PM ^
You could just as easily say (and I'd argue) that the win over OSU (who I think is legitimately the second best team in the country) and a road win over top 10 Penn State are better than 2 wins over Oregon (one home, one neutral site).
December 3rd, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Buckeye Chuck, but 3 straight wins over OSU, 3 straight Big 10 championships and a complete shut-out in the last championship game is more impressive than that.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:33 PM ^
Never listen to counterstrike guys that live in their moms basements and drink game fuel for a living.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
ESPN has a correspondent at 6 school's locations, but no Ohio State? What happened!
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
Disrespekt
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
Herbie is there!
*edit and Joey
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Same reason they didn't send anybody to LSU or Oklahoma.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
I know you are taking a dig. But if they have at Georgia they should at OSU. OSU has better wins than Georgia
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:19 PM ^
OSU's loss is also much better aside from the fact that The Game wasn't a CCG.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
Just show the teams so I can stop watching ESPN and not have to watch Reece and Joey
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Let's go live to Tuscaloosa so Nick can plead his case this year.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Michigan, Washington, Texas, Alabama
Should be FSU, but the committee isn't going to lock out the SEC
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
Terrible, I gues the games don’t matter, so no need to watch the regular season anymore.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
This is insufferable
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Looks like the Herbie has Bama has #4 per his helmets in the back
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Wolverines get entire week off? Finals?
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Palm at CBS has Texas as the fourth, the ESPN predictor tool as well.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
All of these knuckleheads on TV keep talking about how these teams have looked on the field the last few weeks as if Bama has looked incredible. They needed a miracle to beat a .500 team a week ago! Hello! No one wants to mention this on TV?
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
Washington will get rose bowl
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
Your trolling didn't work today. But keep trying everyday just like every other posts in the past.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:50 PM ^
Hey look, another thing you said that proved to be stupid! You should go to Vegas because you're batting 1.000 in saying dumb shit!
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
Michigan would be favored over FSU, Texas, and Washington.
I see the Alabama line as a pick em.
How do you penalize the #1 team wiht the toughest matchup?
JUST PUT US IN THE ROSE BOWL PLEASE!
Playing Alabama or Texas in the Sugar Bowl is not ideal.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
They want to talk all about the eye test, in the time since Jordan Travis has been out I'd much rather face Alabama's defense than Florida State's. There is no obliterating Florida State, I don't know why people talk about them like it would be putting Eastern Michigan in the playoffs.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:21 PM ^
The committee made their bed when they put FSU 4 and Bama 8 just last week.
A win vs number 1 could move you to 4th and Fsu to 3rd but you dont jump two teams over FSU after finishing off their undefeated season. If FSU is #5 today they lied last week and lied badly.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:22 PM ^
Florida State's undefeated in the SEC, beat LSU by three touchdowns and held them to their lowest point total of the season. Holding them to 24 didn't seem like much at the time but we learned better as the season went along.
December 3rd, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
E(SEC)PN. Be very interested to see the reaction from 'Bama/FSU when one of them is left out.
