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.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By CRA · Posted

      Renfrow is just sort of a 1 of 1 on the roster.  No real comparable.  If you ask him to play like others he will be lesser.  You have to want to do what he does.  That was never the Canales O nor did it suit with Bryce.  I think there usage/development of Jimmy Horn has really stunk.  It's like they had one gimmick and then that was it.  Outside of that really random ball he caught early on.  But, scheming up gimmick Jimmy Horn plays is probably a bad use of a pass down given what our O is.  Really just need to keep it basic.  Progression should be Tmac, Coker and probably RB in the pass game as the big 3 pass options.

      What are the chances the match vs TB gets flexed to Sunday night?

      Hey, at this point, just happy to be here. I do want to rob Tampa and end their streak, though. That would be perfect.

      I love college football and generally enjoy it even more than the NFL but it is undeniably a mess right now with this NIL and transfer portal stuff and the whole ND thing is just beyond absurd. I know NFL fans bitched about the Pats for years and then the Chiefs for years about how they got special treatment but honestly most of that was just about the media and announcers dick riding them and a perceived friendly call here and there. They didn't get to not have to play in a conference, have their own special individual rep to lobby in their behalf when no other team does, nor literally get special clauses just for them to create a different standard for qualifying for the playoffs versus the standard for everyone else. And ND fans really have the nerve to take about a bias against ND? Well, no poo. If you don't hate ND you're not paying any attention.
