Clay Travis over at Outkick.com introduced an interesting concept last week that I think I’m going to appropriate. A loss erasure game. It’s when a college team has taken a loss early in the season but manages to “erase” it with subsequent wins. A PRIME example would be the Buckeye’s slip vs Oregon. I’m thinking 56-7 over the #7 team in the country is enough to “erase” the loss.

Speaking of that score, OSU and #1 Georgia BOTH won 56-7. OSU did it vs the #7 team in the country touting a legit Heisman Trophy candidate. Georgia did it against #188 1-AA Charleston Southern. Cupcake week.

So let’s look at our post season bids. Undefeated Georgia stays that way and likely will Top seed. Undefeated UTSA and Cincinnati stayed that way as well but failure to play a D1-A schedule comes with a price.

Next, our one-loss teams. Ohio State has erased their loss (for our purposes) and will likely run the table, by 6 over tsun and double digits vs Wisconsin. Second bid. Alabama’s second loss will keep them out this season. Michigan’s annual loss to OSU will consign it to the same fate. Notre Dame? Do wins over Wisconsin and Purdue “erase” the Cincy loss? I think so. Third bid. Then we get to the Big 12. Okie State is gonna beat Oklahoma. If you’ll recall I called the Baylor win and suggested that Iowa State might also get the win which they nearly did. So believe when I tell you the Cowboys beat the Sooners, twice if need by, take the Big 12 Title and the fourth and final bid.

Everybody lease has 2+ losses (including Oregon, which was predicted on these very pages). That’s your field. Ohio State vs Notre Dame. A classic matchup. Buckeyes by a touchdown. Georgia over Oklahoma State in an interesting game. Hoping the Big 12 video game offense runs ’em ragged. Georgia by double digits. And the Georgia D vs OSU O should be one for the ages.

In HS news my Roughriders edged the Fort Frey Cadets 16-14 to head to the final four where they’ll face Coldwater. An AWESOME program that’s beaten us like five times in a row. Game’s in Piqua. Their schedule wasn’t as tough as our this season which is good, but we have one common opponent – Mechanicsburg. The Indians beat us 30-13 but lost to the Cavaliers 42-6. That does not bode well.
