Championship Thread Ohio State vs ND

[RioDog]

WhatIfSports.com: College Football Boxscore

My simulation has Ohio State winning 31-10.

Looking about right so far. ND pass defense is dismal.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Meh, another Championship blowout. Boring so far.

Yeah NDs first drive gave us hope of a good game, but they're getting torched in Defense and the ND QB is constantly running for his life.

Getting to beat down levels

 

[superjohn]

Ugh, they got smoked. Back to CNN.

GGs

 

[Bomber36]

What a boring, crap game.

 

[mike012]

These playoffs get a low C- in my opinion. A few good games but mostly blah. The final is the cherry beat down on top.

 

[Scoe]

Here come the hot takes.

 

[mike012]

final is so close and competitive I am watching ghostbuster 2 now.

 

[Scoe]

ND has no passing game, their defense really lost this game though.

 

[Bomber36]

So this fiasco begs the question…who would have given OSU a game?

 

[Bomber36]

Here come the hot takes.

There are no hot takes when it’s 31-7 with 5 minutes left. Just takes.

Umm the Fenway bowl champs?

Thats a take I’ll take…I’d love to think so. We are the school of champions, after all.

Already seeing some on twitter, like Marlon Humphrey saying Bama would’ve done better, can’t blame him for feeling that way but it’s a dumb take you got blown out by .500 Oklahoma and Vanderbilt.

 

[Bomber36]

Now if ND can get a stop and another score, they’ll only lose by 10 or so.

I thought you meant here, because there have’t been any…so far.

Well it’s coming soon enough we’ll hear how a 4 team playoff was better.

 

[B1GEast]

Really surprised by this game. I thought ND would put up a fight.

They're just not at the same level as Ohio State. I cannot see them winning a national title any time soon.

Having a bye can really help, but they're not in a conference so the best they can do is the 5th spot.

After watching this game, I think that will be their Achilles heal, but hey at least they're independent. Right?

The production of the broadcast is hideous. I feel like I’m watching a circus that gets periodically interrupted by a football game.

ND made $20 million just in the playoffs. They don’t have to share with anyone in their “conference”. Maybe they can up their NIL.

The B1G payout per school is about $60 million per team. It would be even more if ND joined.

A boost to their NIL may be the only way to become more competitive

 

[Scoe]

It's not quite 2011 ND vs Bama bad, but still too much of a hole. Marcus Freeman teams don't quit, this isn't a Brian Kelly team.

 

[Bomber36]

Ugh…go for the FG on 4th down and then miss. if it wasn’t over, it is now.

They also got the revenue from the first round home game. They’ll survive.
