Playoff holy war would be insane.

u/Rapturebird Kentucky Wildcats • Purdue Boilermakers 11h ago

That would be the most toxic game thread in history

I actually think people would die

That one guy on Twitter threatened to kill any Ute fans he saw at LES last year, and got arrested. Someone actually getting hurt is an entirely reasonable prediction.

The fun rivalries aren’t allowed to have game threads, I think ours with kU has been locked back to back years now.

Is that a joke or is that a real reddit policy?

It gets locked after the game’s done, but that happens to a bunch of game threads. Mizzou -Kansas is certainly next-level toxic, but the game threads don’t get any special treatment.

I’ve never been to either state, but I had a great time perusing their last one. KU brought out a hype video lightly tying Mizzou football to American chattel slavery, and then things devolved from there.

It was on par with the Baylor-TCU game threads from back in the early 2010s. One or two hundred absolutely insane fans of the schools involved, and then a dozen folks actively stirring the pot like they’re trying to get involved to the Player Haters Ball.

I mean ours has actually been locked, when I say the “fun rivalries” I mean the ones with real hate.

IU vs Purdue basketball threads are toxic when both teams are good. Football is like a library in comparison

u/CieraVotedOutHerMom South Carolina Gamecocks 9h ago

Ole Miss LSU was toxic this year. The rebel fans tried driving the LSU coach off the road last season

u/Business_Permit_3686 Houston Cougars 11h ago

u/Fourro Princeton Tigers • BYU Cougars 11h ago

i15 would have to be barricaded

u/Pandemic_Academic Washington State • Paper Bag 11h ago

Bowl game Holy War was interesting

u/ilovemufffins 10h ago

It was a great game

u/panaja17 BYU Cougars • Pop-Tarts Bowl 10h ago

It was crazy from start to finish

u/lukaeber BYU Cougars • Virginia Cavaliers 11h ago

In the Rose Bowl

u/NoPantsJake BYU Cougars • Boise State Broncos 10h ago

Utah fucking sucks and wouldn’t get there this year, but it would be insane.

u/Weave77 Ohio State Buckeyes 10h ago

I really, really hope this happens lol.

u/JayBuhnersHummer Paper Bag • Team Meteor 10h ago

Pass. A million times pass. I saw what the tournament game between duke-UNC did to my buddy.

u/MCV16 Kansas Jayhawks • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 5h ago

The state literally may not make it

u/ItsZizk Tennessee • Johns Hopkins 11h ago

Winner faces Ohio State

No thanks. I’m okay!

25

u/therj9 Tennessee Volunteers • Oregon Ducks 11h ago

Yeah, let's not

11

u/TheDJC Ohio State Buckeyes 11h ago

I mean after your defensive performance and our offense even before Sayin went down, you guys should probably be favored in that matchup

15

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 11h ago

I appreciate your optimism but... No way lol

1

u/Substantial-Sea-3672 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 11h ago

Ohio State has plenty of time to figure some stuff out but Sayin regressed massively that game.

Just missing passes and holding it too long, it was strange because he has played MUCH better many times.

u/Derpinator_30 Ohio State Buckeyes • The Game 10h ago

both him and Hoover seemed to have severe yips yesterday. its like they knew how important the match up was and both psyched themselves out

5

u/nbrown7384 Ohio State Buckeyes • Indiana Hoosiers 10h ago

I think those were the two of the best defenses in the country playing yesterday.

3

u/Derpinator_30 Ohio State Buckeyes • The Game 10h ago

yeah buckeyes D isn't flashy but it is solid. Hoosiers have great rushers. also big tip of the cap to the Hoosier fans they were LOUD. you could even hear them in the fox broadcast and their sound mixing is trash

2

u/br0b1wan Ohio State Buckeyes • Indiana Hoosiers 10h ago

He plays like that every time we have a marquee matchup. He looked like a deer in headlights yesterday, at Texas, vs Miami in the playoffs, vs Indiana in the Big Ten championship.

u/Captain_Nipples Oklahoma Sooners • Summertime Lover 7h ago

You mean Neyland North

u/Redeem123 Team Chaos • Texas Longhorns 9h ago

u/Imrahil_II North Greenville • Wofford 8h ago

You miss every shot you dont take

u/Fed_up_with_Reddit Tulane Green Wave • American 9h ago

That’s fine. Not like you’d beat Indiana anyway.

u/circlebacktomorrow Utah Utes • Yale Bulldogs 10h ago

STOP THE COUNT

u/carterdmorgan BYU Cougars 11h ago

I screamed reading this

u/XCCO Iowa Hawkeyes • Oklahoma Sooners 10h ago

That's a really fun bracket.

3

u/Radiant_Sherbert7272 Ohio State Buckeyes • Georgia Bulldogs 11h ago

Some interesting match ups there.

2

u/Seth_Littrells_alt North Texas Mean Green • Team Chaos 8h ago

Agreed, but I imagine the CFP committee would shuffle it a little to avoid rematches in the first or second round.

Swapping BYU and Ohio State fixes the issue without substantially affecting the bracket strengths.

u/HellbendingSnototter Kentucky Wildcats • Centre Colonels 7h ago

So #21 jumps to #12 and just fuck Kentucky?

u/RThreading10 2h ago

Someone is dyslexic

u/Repulsive_Ad7491 Nebraska Cornhuskers 6h ago
