Hey Kirk did the committee get it right by including Tennessee come on man don’t be a hypocrite stay consistent
Zero surprise. As repeatedly said by anyone with half a lick of common sense… FB up north in the cold is a different animal. The game was over after Ohio St. cracked Nico’s helmet in the first quarter… Those SEC boys just proved they aren’t built for FB in the cold weather 🥱
OHIO SOUTH
That Midwest weather different
Thought Tennessee’s defense was so great? They looked frozen and got run over
Kirk Herbstreit is a loser. What a total douche bag!!!
Kirk is a P.O.S and a corporate stooge. C’mon Kirk, tell us how the Vols didn’t belong
Pat mcafee: WHERE YOU AT🤷🏻♂️!!
THE S.E.C SUCKS 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻💯
Bama fanatic and milroe hater but bama would have done better than smu and Clemson and Tennessee
Glad we won’t have mildew next season
Roll tide till the day I die
I know a Buckeyes fan who told me Ryan Day should be fired if he doesn’t win it all in the playoff 😂
I feel like a petition to never have Herbstreit on a Buckeye broadcast again would do some numbers.
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit are moving the goalposts so much to protect their precious SEC teams and it is so comical 😭😭😭 this is a joke!
Playing in the north is going to be tough for the southern teams! Was rooting for Tennessee but, figured it was going to go this way. Good luck Ohio State , too bad you still can't beat us… GO BLUE
SEC should only have 2 teams going forward, not good enough
ESPN deleting comments, can't handle it
I thought the SEC was supposed to keep games close? If we gonna talk about an SMU not deserving to be in the playoffs are we also gonna talk about how how Tennessee beated less teams with a record over .500 than SMU did?
Did TN really belong in the CFP? Should the SEC have had only 2 teams in this year? Maybe the SEC just isn't good enough?
New center for OSU. Moved center to Guard. Still have not fixed kicking field goals. May need to go back to our starting kicker.
First complete game that Ohio State played all season.
Who cares about Michigan. It feels like we won the Big Ten and we're playing PAC 10 or 12 champ in the Rose Bowl. Lol.
This is sad Tennessee not giving the sec the reputation we deserve. Making the sec look like shii losing like this pure sad
You all are retarted, is it your life? Is it your kid? STFU yall are stupid
So about all those Indiana comments 😆
I want to see Herbstreeit say Tennessee doesn’t belong like he did Indiana after they got blown out
Maybe a 3 loss SEC team would have done better 😂
🥶🥶🥶🥶 the national championship records would be extremely in favor of the Midwest if bowls were historically rotated.
Kirk is an absolutely pathetic hypocrite. 🤷
Proof the committee messed up choosing smu over Bama. What a travesty this year. Fire the committee. Hire people who actually understand football
Ohio State lose next week
Their the worst announcers can't stand them
Im not seeing anything resemblance of competition…..i hope this aint what playoffs football becomes…..
Impressive win. Nevertheless, OSU couldn't beat the unranked U of Michigan in Columbus. They were kept to 10 points and lost 13-10 in their house. Interesting.
This game wasn't as close as the core might suggest, the refs did their best to get the Vols points on the board. The committee needs to stop letting in these undeserving SEC teams into the playoffs 😂😂😂😂
Tennessee didn’t belong.
Am I doing that right, ESPN?
Kelly Stouffer saying that SMU & IU didn’t belong but NOT Tennessee, who had THE WORST LOSS IN CFP HISTORY? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tennessee didnt belong
Will Howard probably had the best game
So the 2 loss sec team gets beat down but wanted the 3 loss sec team in 🤣🤣
Shame the Oregon-OSU re-match is in the quarterfinals. The winner of that game may well be the NCAA champion.
Great job SVP1!! Herbsqweek is horrible. No wonder OSU fans dislike him. God shut up already.
Don’t look so disappointed Kirk 😞
There's a reason Kirk is a broadcaster and not a coach.
S-E-C

Herbstreit was a QB at Ohio State. Now he sounds like an Ohio State fickle fan. Go buckeyes!
Tennessee is not an elite team and hasn't been since 1998. That's a long time! I don't see them improving much from where they are not even in the next twenty plus years. Maybe ever. The program doesn't have what it takes to attract multiple elite talents during the same year and a coach to compliment at the same time.
Can someone timestamp the moment where they all say this game proved Tennessee didn't belong in the playoffs like they said after Indiana and SMU got beat?
