Don't be fooled, both are champions:

Ohio State -- 2016 Big Ten East Subchampion
Michigan -- 2016 State of Michigan Subchampion

Actually Western Michigan has that claim. They beat more Michigan teams that Michigan.

Pretty much Conf title or an extra round

I'm taking A and sorry if this is not even a close decision.

I would agree, personally, but you're overlooking two things:

1) "playing for a championship"/NCG appearances are something you can sell.

2) Bama would be 13-2 in the second scenario and would likely claim 2016 as a National Championship in future media guides anyway since they'd still be #1 in various computers unless the team that beat them was OSU.

You probably just triggered ILP

Most everyone else is going to be past it.

Go Buffaloes!

Hoping for at least one big upset this weekend. Don't want all the favorites to sweep.

****, Bama should go ahead and pre-emptively claim the championship this year.

I'd prolly take B if I had to choose because it's one more game

Does the SEC CG mean anything to either team?

Probably means more for Florida this year. If they lose, it's like a virtual repeat of what happened last year to them and I'm sure no Florida fan wants that. Also getting crushed in the bowl game after lol.

Bama losing doesn't matter. They are getting in the playoffs and I'm sure Bama fans don't give a **** because of that

Colorado 94, MSU 15, and tOSU 16, are the three worst losses of my life.

Sick speed for a Punter.

The Penn State kicker used to be a stud soccer player. Till he decided food and not having to run was a better option.

Obviously they care about losing to the gators. I'm assuming most will get over it quickly and shrug it off knowing they got another meaningful game in a few weeks and if they win that could mean they are probably on their way to another natty. That's what I meant. Last I checked winning nattys probably means more than losing to the gators
