Not a chance, you haven't been paying attention.
I really thought that OSU losing to lowly VAT then losing their QB just before the Big 10 conference game they would not have been considered and I've stated before that I'd be fine with that. That's what the committee is supposed to do, consider all the circumstances.
I think the thrashing of a pretty good Wisconsin team got them in even with the third string QB in there for the up coming semi final game.
No tears at all if TCU or Baylor got in ahead of us, I don't fret over things I can't control. What got me going was all the renewed crying from the TCU fans after their wonderful bowl game win, somehow pointing to that win as proof that they should have been in and not OSU.
After OSU couldn't score a touchdown on two first and goals, had an interception and fumble that resulted in 14 pts for Bama I was getting ready to write that I didn't think we needed the committee or the playoffs, the number one and two were going to be playing anyhow. The coach even tried to give the game away with a pass on the first down of the last series when running out the clock was more important than a long play.
Ha, you missed the very FIRST blunder, the first play of the game, where the Bucks left a live ball to sit in THEIR end zone, just waiting for some random Buckeye to pick it up and do a touchdown dance. My husband pointed that out to me immediately. The sportscasters caught up to it sometime during the 2nd quarter. I just wrote it off, no one seemed to notice (including us). Imagine if Bama HAD scored on that hail mary, or otherwise managed to beat us by a touchdown. We would all been saying the "if only's". Did I think OSU was ready for primetime last night? NOOO. I did not. I was very apprehensive when I found out we were going to the Sugar Bowl, and am feeling equally apprehensive about going to the big game. But no one asked me my opinion before they picked the teams. I held my breath, rooted for my team, kept my trash talking to myself (I didn't have enough confidence to do any), and silently prayed that we COULD beat 'bama, cuz everyone said we COULDN'T. And guess what? We did.
I am nothing but impressed with Cardale. He took awhile to settle in, and his nerves may have gotten the better of him in the 4th, but all in all, all things considered, I thought he stepped up to the plate and delivered more than anyone could expect, given his lack of a seasons preparation. So, as far as I am concerned, the naysayers can shut up now. Let's see what happens on the 12th, and may the best team win.
