Ohio State should consider resting some starters against Indiana

[Avocado33]

Probably a hot take but there’s not much benefit to winning the game for them other than “a perfect season” or a “big ten championship” that doesn’t actually have value

Either rest or just play very vanilla since it’s hard to beat a good team twice in such a short span of time, and they could see Indiana again in the playoff

They should just consider eliminating these games altogether at this point with the CFP format

LMAO

LMAO

Not saying it's gonna happen (won't)

But they should consider it

 

[REDEYE]

You can rest them against us. Don't have a problem with that..

Hope they run into Oregon in the playoff. Good battle, good brands

Why? The 26 days they get after this game won’t be enough rest?

Less about "getting rest" and more about injury risk and not showing your cards to your (potential) opponent in a game that actually matters down the line

These games shouldn't happen in general

lol, you are funny. I’ll give you that.

What's funny about it?

Game has zero impact on their national championship aspirations

You keep saying that. I’d love to see you say that directly to the team and then watch them beat the crap out of you. Like I have said before, you have never played competitive sports before. It’s so obvious.

 

[5o'clockcharlie]

Do you realize that the Ohio St coach has already said how important winning the big 10 championship game is? Good thing you aren’t the coach. LMAO.

I have played competitive sports and understand that. I am speaking about what's best for the team.

Coaches say what they're supposed to say to the press. I'm sure they want to win a Big Ten championship, but again it matters less than a national title and beating Michigan

Don't be scared of Indy the Refs won't let Brutus lose

lol, what’s best for the team is going undefeated, getting the number 1 seed and winning a NC. Trust me, the players want nothing less than that. Your thinking is totally fucking wrong because you have never played sports on a winning team. But you keep those thoughts in case your team loses. That way you have your excuse.

Should rest players. LMFAO!!!

I have played sports on a winning team many times lol

Loser of the game is #3 most likely and getting a bye. Pretty meaningless for seeding if you get top 4

So this game for these college kids is meaningless, a Championship Game. But in the other thread you think every pro team has their foot on the gas and motivated every week! You are Comical. LOL.

You're taking what I've said and spinning it to an extreme level

I'm saying it has ZERO impact on their national championship aspirations

Explain how that's the same for the NFL teams who are vying for an extremely valuable bye and home field advantage in playoff games

It’s the most important game in Indiana history

Gonna be the 5th most important game of Ohio State’s season

Frankly they shouldn’t have conference championship games with this format

 

[Acebb]

Well, of course Ohio State never considered this idea for 2 seconds.

Was the game of the day.
