Good game, Tpost.....the better team won, for sure.....the quershun is, if Bama beats Jawjuh, today, will the CFP committee have enough balls to kick them outta the top four because they have 2 losses, then move your Sooners up to the #4 slot.

Personally, I think they will move your Sooners up.....that earlier loss was a "good loss" to a good #9 Texas team.....Jawjuh will have the expected loss to Bama, but also, their loss to a, now mediocre, LSU team.

I guess we'll hafta root for a Bama win, but I dang sure hate to. ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

I don’t know if it was good enough for the committee or not but it was good enough for me. Probaly was our most complete game of the season. 88 total yards rushing for Texas. And our 4th Big 12 Championship in a row. The Big 12 is an offense first league, that is tougher to win than we get credit for. Nine conference games is a beast. But I like it better than the old two division setup we used to have.

Bama better get their shot together or we’ll have to see if the Committee has the balls to
keep them out of it. No way don’t want to see two SEC teams back in it again. If you can’t win your conference championship, you stay home.

#1 should always play #2 regardless

[BarryBobPosthole]

Damn but that was a good game. (Alabama-Gawjuh) Somewhere, Niner has yelled until he lost his voice.

And its still not over!

Dang good ballgame, no matter who you were rooting for......with GA’s performance tonite, the committee will be scratching their heads, now.....mighty hard decision to boot GA outta the top 4, even with their 2 losses.

[Chicken Dinner]

Simple, really.

it really is simple.... 8 team playoff

[BarryBobPosthole]

I don’t see a two loss non conf champion beating anybody out, Muddy. I think the biggest decision so far is what to do about Notre Dame. That’s about the only remaining team with a halfway valid argument IMO.

Aw, poor stunned Tommy. This guy may be the biggest douche bag in college football.

Is Pitt really the second best team in the ACC? So the committee won’t look at UCF but Clempson is fine playing a team in their championship game that is just one game above bowl eligibility?

Clempson is a fraud this year.

[quercus alba]

Clempson can't be a fraud, the NCAA holds that title

Yep, GA played a heck of a game against #1Bama, and that's their only claim to glory, but it still gives them 2 losses, and they'll prolly get sent home.....if so, I still think your Sooners will get in.

As for what to do with ND.....give 'em a miniature statue of Rudy, and send their azzes home. ;)

[Chicken Dinner]

As much as I hate to say it, ND will get in because they’ll put asses in seats and eyeballs on TV’s. Hopefully, it’s the Big 10 champion that gets screwed and the Sooners get the 4th spot this year.

I don’t want anyone to get screwed out of anything. But if the CFP has any validity, they will have considered a teams ‘full body of work’ since the CFP rankings first came out and then added or subtracted from those teams’ resumes for each following week’s rankngs. So any changes would be based on how the most recent games affected that. I don’t think Ohio State did enough this week to jump Oklahoma in the rankings. As it was, OU played its most difficult and best game of the season last night. TOSU, IMO pulled away late but played inconsistently in their game. They played their best game of the year last week.
Notre Dame didn’t play. So I think the Domers should drop to fifth and Ohio State should move to 4th and OU to 3rd.
I believe that is what will happen.
That’s my take from listening to the committee members talk about their process.

BKB

ps...I would like to understand why Texas was the only team going into the final week that had a five position descrepancy between their poll ranking and their CFP ranking. 9th in both polls and 14th in the CFP. When it gets down to tie breakers, SOS means a lot and the difference in those rankings means a lot. I smell a rat.

[quercus alba]

No need to be paranoid just because every one is out to get you Posty. We all know the NCAA is gonna do the right thing being all about integrity like they are. They've got an 1100 page manual full of rules to prove it

[BarryBobPosthole]

We’ll all find out in about three hours!

Let's start with the easy part. Alabama is in. Clemson is in. Notre Dame is in. Those are the top three seeds.

Now for the hard part. Who is No. 4?

There's three possibilities: Big 12 champion Oklahoma, Big Ten champion Ohio State and Georgia.

The Sooners avenged their only loss of the season Saturday by beating Texas for their fourth conference title in a row. Their maligned defense was shaky at times but also made some key plays down the stretch.

The Buckeyes won convincingly against Northwestern, breaking open a close game with two late scores.

The Bulldogs had their best game of the season Saturday in a loss to Alabama. It was a classic, but also their second loss of the season.

So where does the committee go? Their hand appeared to be tipped last week when Oklahoma was ahead of Ohio State. Nothing about the performances by the Sooners or Buckeyes would seem to indicate a switch. It is possible the Big Ten title could be valued more than the Big 12 championship. Yet, there is also the matter of Ohio State's 29-point loss to Purdue.

Georgia was outstanding for three quarters before falling apart in the fourth quarter. But while the eye test from Saturday might say the Bulldogs are one of the best four teams, the resume does not. More importantly, they fall short in two of the key criteria used by the committee - record and conference championship.

It's close. All three teams will be on pins and needles when the field is announced. Only one will be happy. And the signs point to it being Oklahoma in the end.

PS: I love copy/paste...:D

[BarryBobPosthole]

I still don’t understandwhy everyone considers Notre Dane a shoo-in. Maybe we should all go independent so we can play the Ball States of the world and claim we’re the best.

BKB

[Big Muddy]

Yep, ND had a sucky schedule.....having only one top 10 team(Mich.) on your schedule should not get you a spot at the big dance.....jmho.

However, if they do wind up playing Bama, I'll be a "Domer for a Day". ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

One thing sure.....Championship Saturday was sure a pleasure to watch. I thought the SEC and Big 12 games were the best I’ve seen all year.
Maybe I was wore plum out but the Big 10 and ACC games bored me to tears. I wonder if the committee members were fidgeting watching Pitt running yet another jet sweep. Same for the Pac 12 game on Friday night.

Butyesterday’s first two games made the day!


How long till bowl season? I’m ready for the Planter’s Emerald Nut Bowl !

Sweet Mother if Abraham Lincoln! I can’t root for either one of those teams...

Do you believe in Unicorns as well? I don’t disagree with your point and I’m all for forcing ND to join a conference if they want to play. The Committee has used the no conference championship against the Big 12 in the past. But, that was just a convenient excuse. There’s no way they’ll leave an undefeated ND out.

Can anybody explain that fake punt call in the SEC game? Smart wasn’t very smart.

Do any o'youse ball-watchin', couch-potato, dufebutts realize it's hunting season? I know it's an oxymoron, but I guess this place should be called "Good Ball" from here on out! :stirthepot

Boomer Sooner! I hope you guys whoop their butts. It pains me to say it, but I think the right four got in. Hopefully, Clempson can expose ND for the frauds we all seem to think they are.

Fake punt bit Kirby in the azz and lost the LSU game.....same thing, yesterday.....went from a hero to a zero in the blink of an eye, in both games.
GA fans calling for his head, today, and I don't blame them.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I think the player on the field, #14 mostly likely in this case, is supposed to make the decision on the field to call off the fake if the other team lines up in a safety defense instead of a punt return. I think whoever was responsible missed the call and the coaches on the sideline who should’ve called timeout missed it that he missed it.

Either way, it likely cost Georgia a spot in the CFP.

BKB

And ps I just googled it and Smart is getting slamed by everybody. Except ESPN. I switched them off right after the CFP announements but they didn’t mention it a bit. Other media are salling it ‘stupid’ and ‘disastrous’. Did ESPN avoid mentioning it because of the committee?

[Chicken Dinner]

One play away from knocking off Bama and notching your ticket to the playoffs and they want to fire the guy. Hubris.

So.....you aren’t gonna do all of the bowls? Is it too late to get our money back?

The smaller bowls are my favorites. Especially when the deploy the Hooterville Cam so the camera shots never show the tiny size of the crowd.

A month long celebration of all the hard work these kids have put in for this season! You can do it!

I can do it, the question is can we sticky all them under one topic at the top? I don't wan't to scroll thru 8 pages just to make one post in the Kumquat Bowl topic
