Stories and blog posts have been coming out this week about another covid outbreak on campus in Columbus, OH. I am not into Outkick much at all, but this is an interesting article. Serious questions and concerns are raised. Is there REALLY an outbreak? Or is OSU looking for extra time for Fields to heal? If the game is postponed, it is a bad look on the game, considering the fact that OSU has basically dictated the season and the playoffs......and not on the field. It is that program that pushed hard for the conference to have a season, minimizing the risks of covid, and yet this campus/program has been the one in the conference with the most significant impact. So, they get a consensus in the conference that says yeah, ok; how about we set a standard for minimum number of games to play to be in the conference championship? They reach a majority for that decision as well. We get to the end of the season and OSU has not played the agreed upon number of games. The concern is that not allowing them to play in that title game would keep them out of the CFP. so, the rules are changed again for OSU's benefit. So, they win that game; make their way into the CFP. Granted they played the best game of football I have seen in quite a while against Clemson. So now we are at the title game. The CFP committee did have an alternate plan in case the game had to be delayed. There is still a chance it could be. (Move it to a Saturday evening please; Monday is a bad day for this game). Lord knows OSU has been caught doing some shady things in the past. I too wonder now....I say play the game no matter what. Tell OSU tough sh*t; play the game; you have been given enough breaks.
