This game is taking forever.
No kidding. They say spread offenses extend the game. It feels like OSU is crushing Wisconsin, but it is still just an 11 pt game. They need to win by 3-4 possessions if they want into the playoffs. This game makes the entire Big 10 look bad. Especially the West and Michigan.

A lot of it has been commercials--shortish possessions in the first half meant lots of breaks.

Would be hard to keep rhythm as a player when every few plays there's a really long break.

I would argue that Ohio State has 2 bad losses though. That loss to OU wasn’t even close, and OU dominated it even more than the final score showed. It was a bad loss to a good team. The Iowa loss was just flat out bad anyway you spin it
That's true. What's better, 3 good wins and 2 bad losses or 0 good wins and 0 bad losses? There's an argument for and against both teams, I don't envy the committee.

Can they at least seed it so it's not an all-SEC championship game?

That's only a matter of time anyway.

Seeding is actually tough other than Alabama has to be 4 and Clemson shouldn't be worse than 2.

I look at it the other way. Seed it so it's a no-SEC bowl game. If you put SEC at 1&4 or 2&3, you're guaranteeing that one of them gets in.

Right. I don't see enough separation between the teams...Georgia did look good today...so did OU.

And if they both win, we're back to the drawing board...what year was that, 2011?
