I wonder why the SEC and ESPN talking heads all stopped the narratives of bashing 11-1 teams from other conference and promoting 9-3 teams from SEC, after this game.
I get this is an SEC/Tennessee focused podcast, but playing the injury card is weaksauce. Its the end of the season. Every team has injuries. tOSU is without its 1st round LT, and the 2024 rimington winner in Seth McLaughlin. Its next man up.
@JustN0pe3 umm tOSU didn't play Georgia yet this year kthx. And no one said tOSU only lost to Georgia in the CFP because an injury. An uncalled targeting penalty sure.
@@bcroswellSo it was just the "bad" call now, and not MHJ being injured. See I've seen Ohio St fans cry for years that they lost due to him not returning for the rest of the game. You're fine that MHJ was injured, just not fine that the non-targeting was called targeting?
@JustN0pe3 did MHJ going out affect the outcome? I imagine it did but I wouldn't stand here and cry that it was the only reason. Injuries happen in football and you have to deal with them. OSU didn't do a good job of it that day. Unless the injury is some karate kid sweep the leg intentional thing then it sucks but it's next man up.
Funny how SEC folks complained about Texas' schedule, while they had the same SEC schedule as Tennessee, except that Texas beat A&M and Tennessee beat Bama (who both finished 5-3 in conference play), oh and Tennessee lost to Arkansas.
@@LockedOnSEC I've been assured for years that all SEC road games are tough. Texas beat Arkansas on the road. Tennessee lost to them. Texas beat Vandy on the road. Bama lost to them.
@@Educated2ExtinctionTexas lost twice to a mid Georgia team. Once at home and once to a back up. I'm not sure what you're on about. There hasn't been a dominant SEC this year. But TX going on the road and struggling to vandy isn't really debating that SEC road games can't be hard
SEC SEC SEC..... my ass !!! (🤣) Good thing OSU's OL had been DECIMATED (!) - or what would have happened if they were healthy ? ( 🤔) Their OL was down to 9 deep !!!!!!!!!
Since the inception of the BCS the SEC has won 15 of the championships. That’s all you have to say. It’s a tough conference to play in. Tennessee has only won one of those. Ohio state is where Tennessee would like to be and they will get there so acting like this conference is not one of or the best in the nation is just either stupidity on your side or just plane ignorance. So don’t speak if you don’t have facts or know the history. Alabama has 18 championships
Buckeye fan here.. hold your heads high.. we were here not too long ago.. once lost to Georgia by 1 point for the Natty.. go home n rebuild for next season.. much respect to your young QB.. learn n move on…hats off to your team. You hv the most dedicated fan base.. the Shoe is a tough venue to play in!
@@LockedOnSEC So the whole conference rides on the coattails of other teams accomplishments? Go figure, thats what all the SEC teams did rode the coattails of 1 man and whoever was second in the SEC that year. The rest of the SEC was just food for the big dogs and they cover up the non conf with fcs teams to boost records. SEC got exposed with the team that finished #3 in the conference and looked like OSU playing northwestern. Now you're all food for the big dogs.
@@5wi5h614Like what the b1g, and every other conference has done? Did you know SCAR has just as many OOC P4 regular season wins as Oregon, Ohio St, Penn St, and Indiana combined? Georgia has twice as many. When was the last time somebody other than Michigan or Ohio has done anything in the b1g? When was the last time zero other conferences, including the b1g, didn't play fcs teams? It's the holidays, I've got time to wait.
After that Michigan loss the Buckeyes were angry with the eye of the tiger....it wouldn't of matter where they played, they were gonna win that game. At 1st it was were gonna win in your stadium and then it was we woulda won if we played at home. Wouldn't have mattered.
Don't feel too bad about the game.Believe me, as Buckeye fans , we feel empathy for you. All of us got too amped up about conference champions, bowl games and the national championship. Isn't the regular season enough anymore watching week after week ? Should be.
They’re delusional. Ohio State easily could have dropped 60 on their head. They played backups almost the entire 4th quarter. All the down to the 4th string qb. There’s not a single team in the SEC as good as Ohio State. National championship game is the Rose Bowl.
Regardless of injuries and players out and whatever the case may be it's over for Tennessee until the 2025 season starts so just hope to go a long way next season cause it ain't easy, the Vols had a really good year anyhow.
I’m saying there were holds on both teams but why were them not called I’m not saying one team or the others but why don’t they call holds on both sides? Yes I saw tn hold and said here comes a penalty but they never called it. Like I said legit question why were holds not called on both sides?
It's unfortunate, but in the new college game Josh Heupel is not going to be drawing the best talent. He does a good job, however, getting results from the talent he has.
OSU didnt "come alive": You gave them room to live. You guys are totally underestimting Michigans DL. They are head and shoulders above Tennessees, getting serious pressure (and stopping the run) with just 4 DL. Which allowed moving 1 more player to the backfield and confusing OSUs Qb all game long.
Yep, it absurd people were trying to compare Tennessee's DL to Michigan's. Graham will be a Top 5 pick. Grant will be a Top 15 (maybe Top 10). Stewart has a chance to make it into the first round. Tennessee's DL talent is not close.
We passed as an extension of our run game. That didnt work either in the mich game. Some times box score can confuse those who dont actually watch. We opened it up and let the boys make plays. Played to win instead of playing not to lose.
Let's really just face the facts of the matter. Now that putting bags of cash behind the outhouse. No longer the way it's gonna work. Just wait till Larry Ellison wife gets done buying players for that team up north. The SECs new cry will be for a salary cap soon.
Y'all say a 3 loss Bama was a good win for Tennessee? I don't think so! This isn't a Saban Bama team any more. 2 of Bama's 3 losses were to 6-6 teams and they got absolutely destroyed by Oklahoma! And of course their 3rd loss was to Tennessee that the 4th place team in the Big Ten just completely dismembered and put in unmarked graves so that their mamas can't find their mutilated corpses.
At this point, I have to say 12 team format sux. Only 8 teams are needed. If you must do a 12 team round 1 please play on neutral field. The 9-12 slots giving away home field may as well just be dropped. WORST CFB weekend I've watched so far.
Also if we’re gonna do the 12 team format, give the conference champs auto bids but not auto byes. Give the byes to the top 4 ranked teams straight up. That would make the first round matchups much more even/ give the teams with byes an easier path to the natty. Right now Arizona state has a much harder path than Texas/ penn state.
@@Al-RudigorMy team had a bye this week. I've hated this format since it was announced. Autobids with 12 teams was an awful decision. This was done for money, not so that a G5 or similar team could get in.
How does Tennessee only put up 17 points (10 really without a garbage time TD against 3rd stringers) yet Michigan, with a walk on QB and without their two best players on offense can put up 13? Especially against this soft @$$ Ryan Day team? I didn't realize the SEC was so bad outside of Bama and Texas.
Michigan won because OSU screwed up. M fans like to beat their chest and they won so they should but that victory was NOT because of that they did, it’s what OSU didn’t
If this is how bad the 10-2 SEC teams are, imagine the 9-3 teams
Ohio State is 5-14 against the SEC all time, but that record drops to 2-13 in bowl games.
@@rncgsu And Michigan is 26-13 vs SEC teams.

They need to be kicked to the Group of 5 for embarrassing the SEC.
😂
O well. Next year.
Illinois should have been in! SOS matters!
They were perfectly in line to get into the playoffs. Hindsight is 20/ 20
If both teams played to their fullest capacity until the final seconds ticked off ,this game could have been 60-3.
All those fans and they forgot to bring a team with them
I didn't expect the game to be that one-sided but if anyone is going to choke it is going to be cocky Tennessee.
They didn't choke, they just don't belong with Big 10 teams!
That was a 10-2 SEC team? 😂😂😂😂

That’s what you cocky/ loud Tennessee fans get. Y’all walked into a BUZSAW!!!! Hahahahahaha. You disrespected this Ohio state team at every turn.
I've never seen that much disrespect from a team going into Columbus.
The crowds for every game from here on out will be about ½ and ½.
Nico only threw for 30 ish yards against OSU's first team. last 70 something yards came in garbage tine against 3rd and forth stringers.
~ And Dillon Gabriel threw for 350 lol... Imagine that.
Did this guy really predict a Tennessee win in Knoxville? Yes, home field advantage is worth 30 points.
Over rating costs you players, and fans…the SEC is over rated and Tennessee has to play to great to win. Winning was easy for them in the SEC.
you the same squad that lost to mediocre Michigan... again?!?!

Tenn did belong in the CFP.
There are blowouts every year in the Playoffs. You'll be fine. Lick your wounds and learn.
I think Old Miss and Bama should have been in the 12 best in the CFP. Just sayin maybe they didn't pick the top best 12 teams seeing the scores now.
TN couldn't score more than 17 points against UGA. This isn't a surprise.
@@rncgsu Ohio State had 3rd and 4ths in the entire 4th quarter.
When you had a winning season and then lost to a good team it doesn't make you a bad team

CUCKED
How many holds were called on OSU? Legitimate question? Can’t get pressure if you get held.
Stop cryin, refs missed a pi on the interception in the back of endzone and the roughing the passer call was awful
😅😅😅here we go. ACC officials not B1G
Jack Sawyer 33 was held at least half a dozen times

@@dlallen5036don’t forget that Pi on squirrel white that didn’t get called to extend a drive
Tennessee brought a skateboard to a boat race.
The whole committee should be fired immediately. The teams that lost over the past few days had no business being in the playoffs in the first place.

He does a good job, however, getting results from the talent he has.

Nah, Ohio State (Chip), kept trying to run right at Michigan. He should have just opened it up. Oh well, on to Oregon and the Rose Bowl.
@Al-Rudigor That's false. Ohio State threw the ball more than they ran it vs Michigan. You can literally look this up in the box score

Oregon is going to win it all so the other teams still in better get ready to lose at some point, the further you go the harder the loss after all.
