Hopefully urban meyer os able to keep his team under control this year.

You never know with kids.

It's a crazy rivalry especially in Toledo.

I worked there for 5 years before I retired and couldn't believe it. No one wanted to work the day of the game. People would go around painting other people's offices the color or "their" team. I made big money on game day because my boss knew I would double over rather than watch the game.

I always rooted for OSU but up there it fanatical. Toledo is only an hour away from Detroit and is or at least was very heavily vested in the auto industry so it's almost a suburb of Detroit. (Don't tell anyone from Toledo I said that, they hate it.)

The city is pretty evenly split with the nearness to Michigan and the home state sentiment for the Buckeyes. Talk about a bunch of drinking and after the game, half the city celebrating and the other half crying.

Say the over/under for how many of the current Top 4 will actually make the playoff is 2.5. Would you take the over or the under?

BTW, this is a real bet you can make in Vegas!

So, which would you take? I'm on the under, I think two will fall out.

I already said I'll take the under.

am1 · Nov 27, 2014

Easy to agree with two will fall out. 1 by loss and 1 gets jumped.

What is the pay out for each? My betting site does not have this prop to bet on.

I'm guessing over 2.5 would have a nice payout.

Prediction two of the four team top listed are going to lose this weekend.

Don't know as I'm not really a sports bettor. I just heard it on one of the sports podcasts that I listen to that its a real prop bet in Vegas.

The Hogs are only crappy by SEC standards, they might win the All Cupcake Conference and would be an upper level B1G team.

End the season knocking off 3 ranked teams. Only lost to teams that were ranked at the time. All but 1 are ranked now.

TUGBrian · Nov 28, 2014

so, they have 1 top 25 win, and likely zero after this weekend and ole miss loses and becomes yet another 4 loss SEC hasbeen for 2014? =)

very strong indeed.

am1 · Nov 28, 2014

ole miss and mizzou, LSU may be ranked after this week. Especially if you are thinking ole miss and mizzou are out. Marshall is out. SEC may knock 3 teams out of the top 25. (not all)

Tomorrow will be an interesting day. Possibly more so then next week.

TUGBrian · Nov 28, 2014

mizzou is likely gone if they lose to another unranked team.

am1 · Nov 28, 2014

Id bet the hogs will be ranked after this week if they hold on. Mizzou may or mot be if they lose.

TUGBrian · Nov 28, 2014

mizzou making a game out of it at least!

thought it was over after the fake punt.

They better raise their game if they want to win the Championship game - they looked pretty "FSU" ish in that game - but kudos - they did pull it out at the end.

should be just fine, after all...alabama only beat arkansas by 1 point.

thats 6 less than mizzou just won by.

Two years running that a slightly above average team from the B12 wins the SEC east. LMAO

Guess some want to forget that the slightly above average Missouri finished the season in the top 5 last year.

I wasn't knocking Missouri's accomplishments. I like to watch them play and I think Pinkel does a great job.

Just observing that a team that was good, but not dominant, in the B12, can come in and win half of the SEC in two of it's first three years in the conference.

So then by your weird calculus Louisville must be a LOT better than FSU because they beat Miami by 18 while FSU just "squeaked by" by 4 lousy points.

See the silliness of your contention yet?

Ahhhemmm - well actually, yes you were knocking Missouri's accomplishments. And you were "attempted knocking" the SEC while you were at it.

Just sayin.....

I am shocked Mizzou is doing as well as they are but being in the SEC elevates a program. After yesterdays game they can have a pretty good rivalry with Arkansas.

I would like to see them playing more Big XII teams for OOC. Not sure why they need to play Arkansas state on the road.

Also would prefer they are in the SEC west for geographic reasons. The other east schools may as well.

No, I wasn't knocking Mizzou's accomplishments. Simply pointing out that a team that didn't dominate the B12, and would have been considered easy pickings by SEC fans 4 years ago has managed to come in and not only be competitive in the SEC, but actually win the east 2 out of 3 years. That's what I was sayin........

But thanks for trying.

That's OK, I was shocked when I found out Santa wasn't real.

I knew someone would pull out the "elevates a program". Quite the elevation to move from one P5 conference to another and be winning one side of the new conference in the second and third years. Maybe, just maybe, Mizzou was as good as the SEC east, even when they played in the "lowly" B12?
