So with #3 TCU losing, but their only loss in OT championship game to #10, and being the only 12-1 team, they SHOULD just drop to #4 with OSU going to #3, but I bet this is the committee’s perfect excuse to sneak Bama in there yet again.
Championship Weekend Open Thread
- Thread starter NUCat320
- Start date
If I heard correctly, the announcers for last night's USC/ Utah game said that Purdue won three straight against their last top 5 opponents.
Fitz: Just hire Chris Hampton, the Tulane DC. It's a no-brainer.
Georgia looks like they’re going to be the new Alabama. Holy cow.
Unless the 4 seed pulls off a major upset - and maybe Bama or dOSU could - Georgia will win both games in a rout.
Curious how Kirby broke through there. Has Saban finally lost a step, or is this a 2 year fluke?
Michigan is good, maybe great, but not unbeatable. I doubt they have close to enough to beat Jawjaw.
And for the record, I will be cheering for Purdon’t against scUM this evening. No questions asked.
Why not their WR coach too? Nice victory by them, and that is an underrated academic school in a fertile recruiting state. Fitz, Gragg: cut some checks!
Ye of little faith. O’Connell has exceeded expectations for his entire collegiate career. Why should he stop now?
This Purdue team is scrappy, spunky, and has been all season. Let’s hope they pull it off. Go Boilers (for one night only!).
There’s a whole lot of football left. Never give up; never surrender!
Gus Johnson just mistakenly referred to Purdue as Iowa during a big play. Surely that’s the first time he’s ever made that error while calling a Big 10 Championship Game
Purdue WRs are coached well. They are doing a great job of getting to the soft spots in the defense, using short, intermediate, and deep routes, stretching that zone defense perfectly.
I heard that as well. It was on the fake punt that Purdue converted. How can this guy forget which teams are playing in the games he's calling?
I loved Purdue's fake flea flicker. Have never seen that before. Too bad they turned it over on the next play.
Purdue ran a fake flea flicker, and they picked up 25 yards on the play. That was cool.
Michigan's QB is pretty good. Did NU recruit him out of high school? 😒

That's the type of play you can probably get away with only once. When the RB stops for a couple of seconds, he's a sitting duck. If the defense knows it's an option, they stay with the RB and take him down.
Just saw Hunter Johnson take a snap in garbage time in Clemson game/ACC title game. Didn't realize he transferred back there. Weird.
He transferred back but I thought he was like a grad assistant. Cool that Dabo gave him a snap.
He went 5 for 5 for 9 yards tonight. That seems impossible.
At least the talking heads after the Big Ten Championship Game were in agreement that the 4th man in would be OSU and not Alabama. They also agreed with the sentiments expressed above that TCU's loss in their championship game should not be enough to keep them from a playoff spot.
