You lose that game and you are out, even if that is your only loss. Then, the playoff scheme should be the final 8, not the final 4. I think that would improve things immensely. I’m a Buckeye and I agree: winning one’s conference should be required of any team going to the playoffs for national championship. From all the conference champions, pick the best four (or eight) to go to the playoffs. Second-place teams shouldn’t get a second chance to win a championship. I know some people think the national championship process should be trying to find the best team. (For example, [FiveThirtyEight](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-12-team-college-football-playoff-would-be-big-enough-90-percent-of-the-time/).) But I disagree–it should be the champion of champions. (I hate getting “charity” when trying to advance. Earn it properly or go home. And get off my lawn. 🙂 ) ---

The Kansas Jayhawks won a football game in Austin tonight. First time ever. They also won a Big 12 road game for the first time since 2008. They twice held a 21-point lead in the second half and managed to allow Texas to tie the game with 22 seconds left. Texas got the ball first in OT and scored a TD and kicked the extra point. KU scored on their possession and rightfully went for two, and converted, to win the game 57-56.d Texas was favored by 31 points. This was the largest spread upset in Big 12 history. Texas has now lost five games in a row after starting the season in the Top 25. Good luck in the SEC, Longhorns. ---

Texas paid $25 million just to make Tom Herman and his staff go away so they could hire Sarkisian. I wonder how much they’re going to have to pay to make him go away when they hire whatever hot shot coach they’re convinced is the missing puzzle piece that will restore them to their rightful place as national champion instead of the fifth best team in their own state. ---

And the Longhorns drop their sixth in a row and lose bowl eligibility. I don’t really blame Sark, he inherited a lot of misfunction. The problem is that alumni and fan expectations are so ridiculously out of whack at Texas with where the program is that it’s not clear he’ll be given the time he needs to rebuild from the ground up. I bet right now UT athletics is telling the administration to slow their roll on negotiating a buyout with the Big 12 that would get them into the SEC before 2025. ---

> [@flurb](#): > > I bet right now UT athletics is telling the administration to slow their roll on negotiating a buyout with the Big 12 that would get them into the SEC before 2025. The same thought has crossed my mind. Oklahoma might leave the B12 a year or two before UT makes their exit. ---

Time for The Game. Michigan looks good but they don’t look OSU good. CJ Stroud had forever in the pocket against MSU and looked like a Heisman winning quarterback. With a collapsing pocket from Hutchinson and Ojabo, will Stroud put up such numbers again? Hopefully changing up his rhythm will have a big impact on his decision making (at least not 6TDs in a half). The only way Michigan wins is controlling the time of possession and some key takeaways. This OSU offense has too much firepower to stop consistently. Go Blue! ---

With their win this week, my Kent State Golden Flashes are now bowl-eligible. And something that I wouldn’t have dreamed possible is now one win away from happening: the Old Dominion Monarchs, who started the year an abysmal 1-6, have won four straight games, and if they win at home next week against Charlotte, _they’ll_ be bowl-eligible, too. ---
