Let's start with this tweet, which is timestamped at 12:36pm EST:

All the teams in the playoff picture currently playing are leading, except one. Looking at you, Ohio State. — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

Wow, all the teams. That seems bad. Let's give Pat the benefit of the doubt and look at the entire CFP Rankings when he turned on his hot take machine:

College Football Playoff Rankings Rank Team Conf. Record Status at the time of Forde's Tweet 1 CLEMSON ACC 9-0 Not playing yet 2 ALABAMA SEC 8-1 Not playing yet 3 OHIO STATE BIG TEN 9-0 Robbed of a TD by a bad review; missed a FG 4 NOTRE DAME IND 8-1 Not playing yet 5 IOWA BIG TEN 9-0 Not playing yet 6 BAYLOR BIG 12 8-0 Not playing yet 7 STANFORD PAC-12 8-1 Not playing yet 8 OKLAHOMA STATE BIG 12 9-0 Not playing yet 9 LSU SEC 7-1 Not playing yet 10 UTAH PAC-12 8-1 Not playing yet 11 FLORIDA SEC 8-1 Scoreless against South Carolina 12 OKLAHOMA BIG 12 8-1 Not playing yet 13 MICHIGAN STATE BIG TEN 8-1 Tied against Maryland 14 MICHIGAN BIG TEN 7-2 Not playing yet 15 TCU BIG 12 8-1 Leading Kansas 10-3 16 FLORIDA STATE ACC 7-2 Losing to NC State 10-7 17 MISSISSIPPI STATE SEC 7-2 Not playing yet 18 NORTHWESTERN BIG TEN 7-2 Tied with Purdue 7-7 19 UCLA PAC-12 7-2 Not playing yet 20 NAVY AAC 7-1 Not playing yet 21 MEMPHIS AAC 6-2 Not playing yet 22 TEMPLE AAC 8-1 Not playing yet 23 NORTH CAROLINA ACC 8-1 Not playing yet 24 HOUSTON AAC 9-0 Not playing yet 25 WISCONSIN BIG TEN 8-2 Not playing yet

It's a curious call-out. You'd almost think he has some sort of grudge against Ohio State.

Buckeye fans took notice and called Forde for his #badtweet, but Forde is a stubborn pro and he doubled-down on stupid:

@wmease I watched most of the game. Took Ohio State 11-plus to score. As stated in that tweet, everyone else in playoff pic already ahead. — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

Well, not everyone else. Just one team in the entire 25-team ranking.

@tzach15 Those are the only teams in the playoff picture? The top four? — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

@JeffreyBook3 It was 0-0 for 11-plus minutes, which is when that was tweeted. — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

Illinois field goal follies keep Ohio State ahead by two scores in Champaign. What a game. — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

There's the Ohio State score. Crabby Buckeyes fans, you have been heard. — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

Forde, who is inexplicably paid money by the Big Ten Network to share his thoughts, then closed the noon game frame with this parting shot.

Ohio State and Michigan State have cleared the decks for next week. Wonder if either will remember what it's like to play a quality opponent — Pat Forde (@YahooForde) November 14, 2015

The purpose of posting this here is not to give Forde attention. It's to remind you that you should not care at all about anything Pat Forde thinks, ever.
