Much as I predicted, the Ohio State/Michigan game went down to the wire and needed two OT periods to decide a winner. Michigan outplayed Ohio State much of the game, but the Buckeyes did just enough at the end to win. Jim Harbough, coach of the Wolverines, blamed the officiating. In a game this close, it often comes down to the guys in the striped shirts.
Harbough knows that even though they were ranked number three going in, and that they just barely lost, and the refs might have determined the winner more than the players, they are no longer going to be ranked among the top four teams in the country. Their chance at a national championship just went down the drain.
In other news, Penn State, number 8 in the country did win yesterday, so they are now the clear favorites to win the Big Ten championship game. As I said yesterday, Ohio State could win the national title, and not even be the best team in the Big Ten. Ohio State's only loss this season was to Penn State.
Guess which team feels they now deserve to be in the top 4 and the playoff?
Guess which team is not likely to be there?
THAT is your college playoff system in action.
