As it sits in ESPN’s (see Heather Dinnich’s) projections, I see three fairly comfortable wins in the first round (ND over Indiana, Texas over SMU, and Penn State over Clemson).

put all 3 in a hat and pull a name.  Someone going to get upset.  Top of college football has proven it’s not the top of prior years IMO.

There will be at least 1 upset.  Heck, refs will ensure that IMO.   Because in theory that was the whole point of expanding.  For those moments.

The refs don't have to, the top 12 this year is all average. There are no dominate teams.

I think Clemson can beat Penn State.

You don't think Oregon is dominate?

 

They are the betting favorites to win it all. I can't really comment on Oregon because I haven't watched a single full game of them all season.

Nah, I don't think they are.

That’s my take as well. I know it’s been done in the past, but I don’t like punishing teams for losing in a conference championship game, especially games that come down to the wire. 

Yeah you might get teams declining to play in their conference championship game to make sure they get in the playoffs. It’s just a bonus game that shouldn’t penalize either team.

ND in the playoffs has historically meant ND getting their asses beat down. I wouldn't be so sure of a comfortable ND win. LOL

Yup... It's actually insane if SMU misses the playoffs given their ranking last week. It'd be different if you were talking a team ranked right on the bubble going in... But playoffs should be about this season alone and not past glory. SMU should be in.

Why not?

SMU missed all of the ACC big boys this season and lost to Clemson. Texas don't currently have a ranked win and lost to Georgia's backup QB. Now that it's a crapshoot with regards to your Conference schedule, the Championship Game has to matter.

Kick 'em both out.

I don't think you should kick a team out that plays in its championship game if it was highly ranked going into it.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
