Josh Pastner Busts Out A COVID Ball, Annie Agar's Week 13 Recap & Drew Brees Looks For Lights
Nope, I'm not happy the Big Ten had to change its rules to get Ohio State into the conference championship game
You know what I'd much rather be doing this weekend? Sitting down at noon ET with my friends and watching Ohio State kick Michigan's ass -- again -- on the football field and running Jim's career coaching record against the Buckeyes to 0-6. That's what I was rooting for. Saturday's going to be a rainy, horrible weather December day and I was looking forward to crushing some wings, beers and football. Now I'll be forced to find some random game to care about. It sucks.
There's a cottage industry out there for talking heads to crush Ohio State for a variety of reasons, but let's be real here, if Ohio State didn't push around Kevin Warren, the cottage industry wouldn't have Ohio State to crush this week. All the people who are suddenly in love with Indiana would've never gotten a season out of the Hoosiers if it wasn't for Ohio State. Is it a bad look to change the rules at this point? Yes. Was it the right call by dumb conference leadership? Yes. Take your fake love for Indiana and go back to your bunkers where you were begging for Kevin Warren to cancel the season back in August.
Now, should Ohio State make the Final Four? I've written this so many times, but here we'll go again. THIS IS ABOUT GETTING AS MANY EYEBALLS AS POSSIBLE FOR ESPN AND ITS SPONSORS. Remember Karen Rovell eating dog food for his sponsors? That's what the CFP committee is doing here. They're eating dog food, it's just in the form of putting Ohio State in with an incomplete season.

• Vandy sure has quieted down with its kicker situation. I see the depth chart has the COVID kickers rejoining the team and they're joined by Sarah Fuller. Now we get to see if she gets an attempt against Tennessee. Keep an eye on SECN Saturday at 4 ET.
• Browns-Giants Sunday Night Football on December 20 with all sorts of playoff implications. Let that sink in for a minute. The Browns could end up playing three of their last four in primetime. Get ready to be inundated with Baker Mayfield content.
