Game Thread: B1G Title Game

Somewhere in Guantamamo...they are thinking of getting Gus Johnson and Brad Nessler tapes to torture the inmates....

I used to like Nessler, but gary danielson has infected him with annoyance.

Seems like they're not talking about the touching story of how Dobbins was almost aborted the entire game today. That's a win...yikes. What an uncomfortable and personal subject matter to make a centerpiece of your coverage of a player in a game. Fox Sports is really got a way to go with the broadcast crews but that injury music bumper owns.

Yes, Gary would make them talk no doubt!

A lot more football to be played but I am in the Eastern Time Zone tonight. I think that is about it for me. OSU is going to win this one going away.

Looks like Ohio State woke up in time to save their unbeaten season.

A massive Suck Infusion....

How's ol' Kirby Smart feeling right now about Fields? Probably not the same as Saban feels about Jalen....

Ohio st is starting to pull away but Lsu and Clemson are the teams to beat.

LSU will suffer the same fate as we did last year. They are only as good as their offense will take them which is a trip to NOLA. Anyone thinking they are going to blow Clemson and Ohio St just hasn’t watched enough of either. Both are better equipped for shootouts than LSU.

Probably can stick a fork in Whisky, they are done.

Wisky got LSU the 1 seed and really homefield advantage throughout in the playoffs.

Disagree...LSU can stop the run so force the other team to be pass heavy...which they are meant to be DBU right? I think they are good enough on D....but above average on O so can compete in either scenario

Wisconsin needs to force a turnover here to have a chance.

And you don’t think Clemson and Ohio St can pass? Beating UGA isn’t that impressive. Hell USCe did it.

And you don’t think Clemson and Ohio St can pass?

Not saying they have no game there....Clemson has WR's that are tall and fast so do cause issues BUT when you know its a pass its different. I think LSU can make either more one dimensional..and plan accordingly

 

[CrimsonSEC]

I'm not convinced that they elevate LSU to #1 if tOSU finishes out strong tonight. The top three look like a wash to me.

Etienne and Dobbins will be by far the best backs that they have seen all year. Both teams use the run a lot more than Bama did and are far more committed in establishing balance. It really comes down to what defense do you trust more.... I don’t think LSU shutting down a crap UGA offense is going to suddenly convince me that they have a better defense than Clemson or Ohio St.

so blowing out a #4 ranked team vs overcoming a #8 team isnt enough? I think LSU definitely passed the eye test today....OSU not so much....so it would be LSU vs OU and Clemson/ OSU...

I can see that. But no one has really challenged Clemson - every week is an FBS game pretty much so they are healthy and fresh. OSU is better prepared but showed some weakness today...and UW does not have elite talent at QB and other positions, although i like Taylor. Thats why we play the games i guess.

Do you really believe UGA is one of the best 4 teams? UGA lost to USCE at home.

Agreed....but UGA lost players before and during this game....hard to judge on that. They did have good wins over other ranked teams though. The committee rankings have no logic in my eyes so cant say one way or the other where they should be....Bama at #12 is a complete joke.
