Need to write this season off, make the needed corrections, and get back to where the tOSU program belongs. The two losses hurt, but two losses to hot garbage really hurts.
Another year where the championship will be of no appeal to anyone outside the Deep South.

I don't understand how the "powers that be" want this. They could have made a first round Bama/Georgia game, so this scenario would not happen. I may tune in for a brief moment, but I won't watch the full game.

Neither will I. College football on a Monday night with two teams from adjoining states in the SEC = zero appeal.
It’s the two best teams…..I’ll watch. Not sure the need to satisfy the nation. What two schools would bring the whole country in to watch?
Sounds like butthurt that SEC has the two best teams.

Not butthurt, just no interest. My lack of enthusiasm today is probably somewhat due to both those games yesterday being terrible to watch.
Boy these bowls today have uninspiring atmospheres - empty seats and quiet NFL stadiums

That’s fair. I’ll always watch but I’ve lost a lot with the NCAA basketball, but even then I watch a few games and see teams playing great and it sparks the interest.
Same with NBA….I have minimal desire to watch it but when I turn and start watching a game, I see the high level play and talent and typically enjoy.
I feel like college football is following college basketball into being much less interesting. I know this has happened gradually and not like a switch flipped. I just remember spending so many New Year’s Days watching bowl games with great interest. There is such a “meh” factor anymore. Maybe it’s just me.

The stars sitting out doesn’t help. I’m with you on these games today. OSU will be fun (hopefully) but the Penn St/Ark and ND/OkSt games are on because it’s pouring down rain outside and just a meh day.
Waiting for NFL tomorrow
I can’t get on board with the “I won’t watch today’s games because they don’t matter” mindset. Especially when Alabama continually just runs a train on everyone anyways. The Outback and Fiesta bowls today have already been more interesting than either of yesterday’s games.

I feel like same way. I think that playing the semifinals on new years day might help. I also used to like many big bowl games being played at the same time. If one game sucked, you could always switch to another. Like many things in sports, I will still watch, but new years day football was so much better 25 years ago.
What killed this for me is having awful bowl game starting so early and awful bowl games after today.
It’s incredibly pedantic, but I want NYD to be the ultimate and last day for the sport, after a few weeks of games leading up (not an entire month plus). The championship game should be after, but semis should be in with these games. They can be standalone, but they should be today.
Osu with a ton of guys out, but new wrs look good. Special teams… questionable.

Vegas is set up so they really can’t get screwed

Not to mention 71% of the money in that game was on OSU to cover...and they didn't. Literally the opposite of Vegas getting screwed. They cleaned up.
Sugar Bowl Trivia:
What former Ohio State player holds the record for most tackles in the game with 20?

Seemed like David Fulcher had that many against the 49ers back in 1989…but not OSU
Vrabel seems like a stretch.
