ACC Champions 8 of the last 10 years!  Clemson can’t help the CFP playoff is what it is and that they will be in….with a host of other teams that also don’t belong.

Tough to win games when you got no run game.   A hurt Phil Mafah on the field the last 2 games is just painful to watch.   It’s like watching a FB with heavy ankle weights on run.   And it put way too much on the shoulders of Clemson’s QB.  

Dabo tried to do the Lord’s work and knock Bama out.  The work should be done.   But you never know what the devil got cooked up.

  12. SMU

First Two Out: Bama, Ole Miss

All but 1 ESPN analyst has SMU in over Bama.  Interesting.  I guess their showing last night was deemed impressive enough.  We will see

I wanted SMU to win before the game started. Once Clemson jumped out, I wanted them to throttle SMU, as I think a throttling would have allowed the committee to sneak Bama back in. Then, as SMU mounted their comeback, I wanted them to pull it out. 

The new system hasn’t changed anything, other than the amount of teams in the field. The arguments that folks used to have about the #4 seed are now just had at the #11/12 seeds (depending on where the fifth conference champ is ranked).

Hell, the same arguments are used for bubble teams in a 64 team field in the basketball tournament. There are always going to be teams barely in and barely out and folks squabbling over them.

SMU vs Texas

Indiana vs Notre Dame 

I think they find a way to rank them to get that outcome.

    • I don't know; I think it's close for the first half and if it gets ugly it'll be in the second half.
    • The thing is, I feel like last Sunday validated what I have been saying about Bryce.  And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic. He isn't a good QB, let me make that clear before the brigade storms into this thread, but the biggest difference between Bryce before last week and Bryce in the second half of last season was his lack of confidence and willingness to make plays downfield.  Last week was the first time this season he's had that "F It" mentality, the same he had when he came back last year when he just looked and played care-free (in a good way; he had a positive energy).  We need him to keep that energy the rest of the season because if he does, we can win games. It ain't always about being good.  Hell Jameis Winston isn't good (better than Bryce, but still), but he plays with such a confidence that his teams always have a chance.   If Bryce is down to be as aggressive as he was last week, I think the opportunities will be there against a weak and injured 49ers defense.
    • I don't have a great feeling about this game, but after last night I have a real good feeling about our chances to win the division. I think we might actually have a fair amount of wiggle room if Baker is out for an extended period of time, especially if he misses one or both of the games against us. 9-8 could very well win the NFC South this year. Hell, depending on how long Mayfield is out I wouldn't be shocked to see 8-9 win it.
