Texas spent $23 million. Ohio State spent $20 million…

They love bringing up Osus roster cost when Texas and Oregon literally paid more

[Mike_Rithjin]

OSU fan here, to say Texas was no match is ridiculous. They have a great defense and lots of talent on offense. They held the best WR in college to 1 catch for 3 yards. They held OSU's rushing attack to 81 yards. They lost their best WR early in the contest. They had ALL the momentum after tying the game in the 3rd quarter. They were on the cusp of a potential overtime. They're a great team and I hope they shred the SEC next season to shut these haters up.

“With this $20 million roster.” Texas and Oregon spent more. Can’t win the game in the first quarter? That’s exactly what the buckeyes did against Tennessee and Oregon.

ESPN is broken. Anyone who watched the game knows how close it was.

I'm an OSU fan. Texas gave us all we could handle outside of two monster plays which were the difference in the game. I was puckering midway through the third quarter.

Why do they keep saying 20 million dollar
Roster for OSU ….TEXAS AND OREGON literally spent more on theirs 😂

[GabrielMartinez-sdpc]

I quit on ESPN man. You’re going to tell me it was a 7 point game for literally 58 minutes and Texas was “out matched”? Y’all are trash.

[whydoineedachanneltocommen]

Credit where it's due, Texas did a lot better than most of us expected they'd do against Osu. They had no business in the Top 4 this season, but this is easily still a Top 10 team.

[paulidson]

ESPN went all in on a league on the decline and that hasn't been in the final two years straight
Begging for Alabama to be in the CFP, the same Alabama who got beatdown by a 7-5 Michigan

[matthewspears]

When it's close to the last few minutes, Texas deserved to be there and had a chance. Stop the annoying headlines and fake controversy.

If Penn State's QB didn't stink up the place so badly, it would be an all Big 10 Final, but he was terrible. I was astounded afterwards, when I remembered that, pregame, the announcers were talking about him possibly forgoing his Senior year and entering the NFL draft, and that there were NFL scouts in the stands. What a massive disappointment.

Everyone likes to talk about Ohio State's NIL payments this year. No one wants to talk about the decades when SEC teams paid their players under the table. Now that the playing field is level, no more SEC teams in the finals.

[tigerhoods]

Steve Sarkisian embarrassed himself so much at the goal line, the Chicago Bears have decided to interview him tomorrow for Head Coach.

[KimBanez]

Texas and Oregon spent more on NiL than OSU. OSU didn’t rebuild their roster with transfers. They ranked 121 of 134 FBS teams for transfers during the offseason. Most of the NIL money was for returning players. Can we stop with the $20 mil roster and the best team money can buy?

[octaviuscochran]

As a buckeye fan i did not think will Howard was any good but he's proved me wrong❤

[therealkillaB]

You guys are idiots. Give props an quit talking about how Texas lost the game. Start talking about how osu won the game! 2 great teams tough game the better team won. No excuses! Stop making excuses!

[easyenetwork]

OSU has guys you can hand the ball off to and get in the end zone sometimes. They are not elite in short yardage situations, but they can get tough yards.

[michaelmarshall]

ESPN loves mention B1G money as if the SEC isn’t spending even more on its players

[Reese-uv]

Battle of who can buy the best players.
