November 4, 201510 yr Ohio State/Michigan Sate winner. Michigan has a pop warner offense and teams are figuring out how slow they are defensively. Oklahoma/TCU winner Clemson Notre Dame
November 4, 201510 yr No way OSU is left out, even if they lose a game. They are the Yankees of college football for crying out loud! See that is where it gets interesting. If OSU does lose a game, then Notre Dame who could also arguably be called the Yankees of college football also are sitting there with just one loss. A lost on the road by one yard against a team that could still be ranked #1 in Clemson. Not to mention a much tougher scheduled played for Notre Dame. So if Ohio State is to lose a game, they would have a very tough argument in making it in over Notre Dame if Notre Dame still only has one loss. Edited November 4, 201510 yr by futurecoach
November 4, 201510 yr So are you a superior fan because you only cheer for OSU in every sport? I've never understood this. Can you explain to me why this matters? Or why you're even concerned with who someone cheers for? If you notice, he is a UK basketball fan. The irony is hilarious.
November 4, 201510 yr Author If you notice, he is a UK basketball fan. The irony is hilarious. There is nothing wrong with cheering for multiple schools if you have reason. Like for me I am a Die-Hard Ohio State football fan. I was born in Columbus and my hospital room had a view of the Horseshoe. But I am also a die-hard UK basketball fan because I have a diploma with their name on it. While I like both football at UK and Basketball at Ohio State, I am not a hugely invested fan of them. So it is possible to have a logical reason to cheer for both teams. But what I don't understand and will never understand is rooting for a conference. For instance I want Michigan to lose every football game they play and I want Louisville, Duke, and Florida to lose every basketball game they play. I'll use Florida as an example, if you're a UK basketball fan, did you root for Florida to win back when they won back to back championships? I know I didn't. I couldn't stand them because they are one of kentuckys rivals. Is the concept of a rivalry not that you want that opposing team to suffer as much as possible? I find great joy in seeing Michigan lose. I still laugh uncontrollably every time I see that play against MSU. Am I just too harsh or too big of a fan, because I thought most fans thought that way. IMO it's just Kentucky football fans or other non-power SEC schools that do that. I don't think Bama fans want Auburn to win a championship, I don't think Ole Miss fans want Miss. St. to do well. Why do you all as UK football fans? Edited November 5, 201510 yr by Jumper_Dad TOS

Why do you all as UK football fans? I personally feel like it is a cop out to choose a different school based on the sport and I feel like that doubles when one favors another school over his alma mater, but I'm not here to tell anyone who to cheer for as its not my place, and it doesn't really matter at all. Also, I'm a Louisville fan through and through so I won't speak for UK fans because lord knows I can't begin to comprehend how they think. My post however wasn't about cheering for different schools, but about the walking contradiction that is John Anthony. He ragged on UKMustangFan for who he chooses to cheer for when he literally does the same exact thing. Edited November 5, 201510 yr by Jumper_Dad

So the fact that I was raised an Ohio State football fan automatically change because I went to UK? I generally agree that you should pick a team and stick to them unless you go to a different school, or you move to a different area and live there for an extended period of time at least 10 years IMO. But personally I don't get all of the backlash thrown JA's way. He is just calling everyone out on their SEC fanboy ism. Everyone just gets all bent out of shape because they are just too stubborn or too prideful to admit that they have no logic behind who they root for and no logic behind who they hate. Ohio State football fans are every bit as stubborn and prideful as UK basketball fans don't get me wrong, but OSU football fans don't walk acting as if cheering for SEC teams is some sort of national pride or something. UK is simply not good at football and they like to ride the coat tails of Bama and LSU and others because it makes them feel important.
November 8, 201510 yr This week 1 Clemson 2 Bama 3 Ohio State 4 Notre Dame 5 Baylor 6 Oklahoma State I like ND and Clemson in it. I think Baylor should be in it instead of Bama.
November 8, 201510 yr I like ND and Clemson in it. I think Baylor should be in it instead of Bama. Bama is in, but SEC nation better hope they don't lose again or SEC gets shut out.
November 8, 201510 yr Bama is in, but SEC nation better hope they don't lose again or SEC gets shut out. I think Baylor against Bama would be a good game.

Everybody on this website has known my position for almost a decade. I was born in Ohio, moved to NKY in 1996 and feel in love with UK bball. I graduated from a KY high school and an Ohio college. I have a reason to support who I do. UKmustang fan likes Michigan because of a comic book character which is fine but don't go questioning why I like two "on BGP only rival" schools.

It was me and Rambler dealing with the fanboys for many many years. If you ever think about leaving the site message me first I'll cover your membership, you and Faux lol. I really feel like the fanboys have been muted and our leader 'Ru is gonna get a Ferrari off of all the Ohio State hate on here lol. Only on this site a non Michigan site will people pay to hate OSU.
