Question for SEC fans. Do you accept Texas as one of your own?

Yes!  I know that a lot of SEC fans were critical of bringing them into the SEC, but it made no difference to me.  However, there are some teams I wouldn't want to see in the conference, but I'm okay with Texas.  We all have our likes and dislikes!

I don't think Texas played their best game (the last one), so I'm curious to see how tonight goes.

Was there an invocation before yesterday’s game?  That was a … surprise, we’ll say, to me today.

I miss the days that colleges were (for the most part) in conferences that made sense.

Well, they need to do something about their camera hogging overpaid water boy and backup mascot Matthew McConaughey

It's a 9.5 margin in favor of Ohio State to open things against Notre Dame one week from Monday

[roamyn]

Another gripping Playoff game.  Great for the sport. Bad for my heart.

GO BUCKEYES!!!!

Jack Sawyer will never pay for a meal in Columbus.

Just like the first championship expansion one decade ago, the tournament final will exclude the Southeastern Conference due to its final member losing in the preceding round. Thanks to the Ohio State. A B1G TY!

Not just Columbus, the entire state of Ohio.

Non Ohioans don't get that the Buckeyes are a state religion. LOL

I live across the river and I'm a convert.

That Sawyer TD was a thing of beauty.

After the shitshow that are the Browns, I’m happy that you guys get some football joy with OSU. 

[Carey]

For me, following the painful 8th place finish for Cincinnati, it's great to see Ohio State crushing it in the CFB Playoff.  Though it's not like they wouldn't have anyway had Cincy done better within the professional level

Thank you!  We disown the Browns until they get rid of Watson.

We also have the Cavs, currently on their second double digit win streak, who are #1 in the NBA.

At least you're not a Brownie.  😱

An article in the newspaper today was all “woe is Texas, who has not won a national title since all the way back in 2005!”  Meanwhile, here is Notre Dame, who gets the rap of “ugh they just win all the time I’m so sick of them”, who is going for their first natty in *37* years.

Bama beat Notre Dame for the title in January 2013.  

[mojoween]

Sorry - it was referring to victory, not playing for the title.

[mojoween]

I didn’t laugh at this, honest.

Marcus Freeman and that weird creepy haircut.  😅

[Carey]

When the ends comes, I'll be thankful that my life included College Gameday, especially the glory days (PEAK) with the Fowler/Corso/Herbie trio.  Probably is a boring lead into the College Football slate without the headgear from the Coach.

That being said, looks like that's it for Lee

[roamyn]

While I think it's great that Marcus Freeman is the 1st AA coach to play for a Natty and that it's long overdue, Noone ever mentions that Ryan Day is the first coach of Asian descent to play for a Natty.

Shouldn't we instead be focused on what they've done for their teams & communities?  And how they are great role models for ALL college athletes.

Sadly I agree.  He should've retired a couple of years ago.  It's sad seeing him like this.

What a very lovely football game!

I'm enjoying it immensely.

[mojoween]

Bleh.  This sucks.  I still think it will be hilarious for OSU to win because of Day’s record against Michigan, but I was rooting for ND for my mom.

I hope in that Chad Powers movie there is an explanation why they lifted dialogue straight from Armageddon.

First I want to congratulate Marcus Freeman. You make us Buckeyes proud for not only your career success but for your class & how you comport yourself.

That was one hell of a comeback try.

We won the first 4 team Natty and now the first 12 team Natty.

I LOVE MY BUCKEYES!❤️❤️❤️

[Carey]

Well, it ended up closer than one would like but thank you Ohio State!

Well, Ryan Day is not of Asian descent, so that's probably why no one ever mentions it.

Marcus Freeman, however, is of Asian descent, and it would've been nice for him to be acknowledged in equal measure as the first black and the first Asian head coach to play for a national championship.

I rooted intensely against both Ohio State and Notre Dame, so I both won and lost.  And I hated all of it.

However, in that perfect state of rage equilibrium, I achieved nirvana.  So, that's nice.
