What is the Ohio St vs Bama top 40 win vs loss record?

[Bama1985]

Top 40 win-loss record Ohio State is 3-2, Alabama is 4-1

If Ohio State beats Wisconsin this could be the key criteria that puts Bama in the Playoffs. Need to make sure Rece Davis has this tool next time he is taking on Joey Galloway and Kurt Herbstreet.

I just watched the show and I absolutely HATE Galloway!!! He gets under my skin worse than Kanell and that is saying something. I did catch Booger saying Clemson vs Bama in the Sugar. I hope that happens. I believe we will see a very determined Bama team! RTR!!!!

 

[GrayTide]

Don't watch ESPN, Jay. You know what they are going to say plus it helps with the stress.

What GT says. Besides, it's not like these talking heads on ESPN or any other channel knows any more than your average fan. I've gotten better info on this site than I have on any TV sports show.

Getting rid of the cable box was one of the best things I have ever done.

Galloway and Kanell are the two biggest idiots alive in the sports talk world. They really hate Bama and I love it.

galloway gives Clemson a mulligan when the loss to Syracuse is mentioned but makes no mention of the plethora of injuries to Alabama.

He aslo give no credit to Bama for the FSU win while they were the #3 team in the nation. However he mentions that Auburn beat the number one team 2 out of 3 weeks. Actually to be consistent, they beat the #5 and #6 team. If Alabama's win is in the past, then so is Auburns. He'll say whatever to keep Bama out. He has no consistency in his points whatsoever!

It stresses me to listen to those people on ESPN although I do like Reece Davis.
Does anyone know the stats comparing us to Ohio State? Offense, defense, etc. I am pretty sure we lead in most categories except maybe 3rd downs. It would be interesting if the committee would look that deeply into the stats if they had to choose between us and them.

Yep it just proves how much they hate us. Everybody has an excuse to lose now except when it comes to Bama, they act like we are at 100% and never had a player hurt as well. They use every excuse in the book to make us look bad while being hypocrites to make the other teams look better than us. It says enough that Kanell was ran off mainly because he's an idiot. Galloway won't be too far behind.

There are certain media people that should be banned from being around the Alabama football program. Joey Galloway is one of them. He gets my blood pressure up when he rips us. Never mentions the 55-24 his Ohio State team took at Iowa. If tOSU gets in over us then there is absolutely something shady going on with ESPN, the national sports writers and playoff committee. OSU has no business being in the discussion.

I'm just curious as to what you use now that you have gotten away from cable? I have been thinking of doing this, and going with Just Roku and Internet service.

 

[crimsonman38]

Kirk Herbstreit mentioned that the playoff teams should at least win their conference championship. I don't remember him saying this last year when Ohio State made it in over Penn State. I use to think he was a guy of reasoning until he said this. Joey Galloway is a total dummy and I am not sure why ESPN would employ such an idiot.

I've been using Hulu live which includes local CBS station. Only football games I couldn't watch were Notre Dame since they're on NBC. ABC/ESPN/Fox sports are included in their $40 package.

The criteria has always been "4 best teams." Conference titles are only part of the measuring stick and that is why Ohio State made it in a year ago. If the resumes are close, then a conference title can be the tie breaker. But it is not a requirement, no matter how much these pin heads wish it were, just a year removed from the same pin heads saying it should not be.

Alabama and Ohio State do not have similar resumes. Alabama's is a a great deal better, and that is why a conference title should not help Ohio State. Some of Ohio State's wins are impressive. Most of them are just beating lousy competition. And then there are the 2 losses, which unfortunately trump the one impressive win they have. Those two losses are bad. One is very bad (Iowa) and the other is still not forgivable. Losing at home to Oklahoma isn't a sin. However, getting boat raced at home by Oklahoma is. So Ohio State made the B1G championship and could win the game. Congrats! Florida played for the SEC title each of the past two years and was not considered for the playoff either time. Missouri did in 2014 and was not considered. Fantastic for the Buckeyes! But they are not a playoff team simply by winning that game.

All of this is reasonable and logical, and I know the committee is not beholden to a bit of it. Which is why I'm beginning to lean towards hoping Wisconsin beats the snot out of them. I'm sure Joey Galloway will have something intelligent to say after that.

 

[KrAzY3]

Yeah, because 4-2 and getting blown out by a mediocre team is better than 4-1. Makes perfect sense.

The problem is Wisconsin is one team we can be sure Alabama will jump. Now that losses don't count, we can't be sure Alabama jumps Clemson or Oklahoma if they lost for example. So, Wisconsin still remains one of the safer bets.

I'm hoping Wisconsin and Oklahoma lose, that should open the path far enough to keep the committee from doing anything stupid. But... this year is shaping up to be their coming out party.

Oh I know it hurts us. I don't really won't them to win, for our sakes, but for spite there is a part of me that would love to see them maul Ohio State.

IMO, it would be more than a shock if Clemson or OU lose and remain ahead of Alabama. It's just not happening.

The precedent of putting a two loss Auburn ahead of an undefeated Wisconsin is hard to overstate. Something like that hasn't happened since the 40s (thanks Selma). This means yeah, they can say well Clemson beat Auburn a top 4 team and they lost to Miami a top 4 team, so they're still a top four team. We know they shouldn't, but they're choosing which wins and losses to count now. What happened to Auburn's loss to LSU? It basically didn't count.

 

[Bama1985]

Also Bama is Co - SEC West Champion. When people say they did not win the division that is not true. Auburn is representing the West but both teams have one loss in the division. ESPN actually showed Bama as Co - SEC West Division Champion during their show on Tuesday.

But it is obvious that Bama was more highly regarded than Wisc before the loss. IMO, you are overreacting. While I agree that losses should matter more than the Committee seems to think, one has to realize that the AU situation is unique - they have beaten 2 different #1 teams in 3 weeks, one of their losses is a 1 score loss on the road to #2, the other is a close loss to a ranked team on the road. They are not ignoring losses, they are valuing big time wins more and giving AU some relief because of the type of losses they suffered. The loss to LSU did count. If we're going to rake OSU over the coals for a horrific loss to Iowa, and I agree that we should, we should remain consistent and note AU's type of losses, how close, to whom and where.

Back to the original point, IMO, it will be more than shocking if they put a losing Clemson or OU ahead of Alabama. The BCS might but not the Committee.

Good point, I had never considered that.
