RE: Conference Championship Games
Ohio State doesn't belong in the title conversation. They got hammered by both Iowa and OU.

Ohio State does have name cachet, but Alabama has more. Therefore, I'm not worried.

Ohio State has only 4 first downs so far.

It's still very much a ball game. But yeah, if Wisconsin loses, then Alabama probably is in.

Hope so, but not sure.

RE: Conference Championship Games
Wisconsin just scored in the 4th Q to cut into the OSU lead. But during the Wisconsin dive play into the EZ, the field turf got torn or dislodged at the goal line. Repairs being made.
Reminds me a bit of the last time we played the Aggies in College Station a few years back. The grass in the middle of the field was new and there had been a lot of rain. The turf was coming up in big clumps. They put sand etc down during the game... but it still seemed dangerous.

Wisconsin goes for 2 and converts After. The field coming up was pretty funny

24-21 tOSU up

Wisconsin gets 2 more after the delay. Interesting decision to chase the point that soon.

Ohio State 24-21 Wisconsin, 12 minutes left.

I agree with it. Momentum etc as well as it changes your approach going forward.

Worst case They missed it and they are down 5. Not materially worse than being down 4. Even if tOSU got a FG it's still within 1 score.

Especially because I don’t think Wisconsin believes in their own ability to get it in the end zone on offense.

Yeah, but if you miss and the opponent gets three, the best you can do with one score is tie.

Five minutes left, OK, you chase it. But the point is still valuable if you are down by five with almost a whole quarter to play.

I can see both sides of it in this case.

2. OU
3. Georgia

Agree with the last part. Definitely merits to both sides.

Looks like tOSU will try a FG.. So making the 2 points is huge

27-21 tOSU

Punting? Oh my goodness.

I don't like it. If Ohio State gets a first down, this is pretty much over.

Looks like the badgers have 3 mins to score
