Tennessee did not beat a single FBS team with a winning record this season. 

Neither did Missouri. Yet it took until the very end of the season for either of them to stop being ranked.

I recently saw a comparison between LSU and (I think) Minnesota showing they have nearly identical resumes over the past 3 years, but LSU was ranked by more weeks by like a 4:1 ratio

It's so nice to see everyone laughing at the SEC and labeling them frauds.  Two years in a row Bret Beilema has ensured I have a very happy New Year.  

GO ILLINI 

[Derwood]

Could've been 7-0 but USC crapped the bed last night

[Tryptamine]

It was a fairly successful year for Illinois, but damn that Wisconsin loss haunts me.  

[bukie]

Illinois has had a total of 8 seasons with 9 or more wins over their 127 year football history. 2 of them have come in the last 2 years.

This has been a wildly successful run for the program.

The color guy on this Mich/Tex game is brutal. He really needs to shut up every once in awhile

Yeah. He said Underwood showed a lot of improvement as the game went along. Completely ignoring the 3 ints he threw.

OSU down 14-0 in the second quarter, just like we all predicted.

[Derwood]

That sideline interview has me convinced that this Miami coach is a complete psychopath who needs psychiatric evaluation immediately

[Hortonhearsawho]

The replay officials bet on Ohio State how do you overturn that first down? 

[Derwood]

OSU is getting their teeth kicked in

[soccer10k]

Heard somewhere earlier, maybe during the Mich-Tex game, that a key to this game was whether OSU's OL could hold up against Miami's defensive front. So far, they definitely aren't. They're getting a ton of pressure on Sayin.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Miami keeps shooting themselves in the foot though. That should have been a field goal but the 2 negative plays pushed them out of field goal range 

[Hortonhearsawho]

That kick was dreadful OSU really needs a new kicker.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Ohio State ran all over Miami on that drive. Miami is probably still going to lose. 

[soccer10k]

Down go the Buckeyes.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Miami held on. Teams with a bye are now 0-5 wild. 

[Derwood]

They're going to change this format if these 1st round bye teams keep losing

It is pretty stupid that the bye teams were off for 25 or 26 days. And that could have been as high as 33 days because if Texas Tech lost to BYU, Oregon probably gets the 4 seed and they would have played on Nov 29 and then Jan 1.

If the last couple years are any indication they're going to change the format no matter what happens 

[Andy]

Miami could've saved everyone involved a lot of bloviating and controversy if they had played weeks 2-7 like they've played the last 6 weeks.

Unless I'm missing something, there are no bowl games on network TV today.  Has that ever been the case before?

"Network TV" is a pretty antiquated idea. It's all just channels now (outside of the handful of OTA channels that literally no one uses an antenna for anymore)

[Hortonhearsawho]

Ban the bye week.
