Who are we rooting for today?

Today is going to be a great day. The regular season is over and this can be a stress free Saturday for Hawk fans. I don't really care who wins today but will enjoy watching.
 
How fun will watching college football be today? No pressure; just sitting back and enjoying all the matchups.

As soon as work is over with I've heading to the bar to watch some football with a friend. Nice not having to worry about the Hawks winning today.
 
Michigan for sure, right? It would be nice to know if MSU won before deciding who to root for in Ann Arbor, oh well. Win and we're in playoff, so I guess our rooting interests should be based on best chance at Rose if we lose (or potentially total chaos "best chance at playoff if we lose")

I guess for OSU-UM game we need to assume MSU will win

If OSU, Clemson, Bama, OU, ND, Florida, UNC all lose this week, and next week Clemson and Stanford lose could we still make CFP at 12-1? It would be MSU, Okie St, and who else?
 
I'm for Ohio st. They are the reigning football champion. To be the the best you have to beat the best.

Go Hawks! 12-0
They already did get beaten therefore they don't carry the same lore.

They are the recognized National champion until another team has won it. Ohio St. Is still relevant in college football. Michigan and Michigan St. Have lost as well during the year.

Go Hawks! 12-0

Yeah, and apparently only one guy remembers their last NC - the dude on GameDay holding that stupid sign. Don't get me wrong, I have no love for tOSU, but that's just a homer thing to do.
 
Does the scenario exist where a 12-1 Iowa team does not make a NY6 game? If so, root against that!

Unlike ESPN I never say zero and 100 percent. But, there is really no scenario where we aren't in a NY6 bowl.
 
OSU will probably jump us for Rose Bowl if they win and we lost B1G title game.

MSU in B1G title game is probably better matchup than OSU in title game, but it going to be a tough game either way. I guess Iowa vs Michigan in Title game would be best matchup for us...
 
Starting to think MSU is the team I want the Hawks to play LEAST.
They went into the shoe and won, for chrissakes.
UM
OSU
MSU
 
There's no chance the loser of OSU-Mich finishes above us in CFP rankings, is there?
 
From a national perspective...Stanford. Hawks pretty much control their own fortunes, imo.
 
Honestly I think we would match up well against Ohio State because they hardly pass, and the pass is what usually kills us.
 
Anyone watching OSU right now would want nothing to do with them.

That chance is as close to zero as you can get, but I suppose if OSU loses a close game and MSU beats us by 40, there is a slight chance it could happen.
 
Would like to see Iowa and MSU... I think we match up well with them. Plus, I simply can't stand Michigan and OSU and the idea of the Big 10 ever becoming the Big 2 again. Let them both sit at home and watch the Big 10 title game.
 
With OSU being impressive today, I wonder if PSU wins if we're right where we were before last week? Beat OSU go to playoff, lose to OSU go to Rose?

It would be OSU OU and ND as one loss teams going for two spots. OSU gets a chance to defend their title I would think.
