Fighting fathoms going to do it.

Wish I could say I was upset, but the NIL and portal and extended playoffs has made me very ambivalent to college football.  With that said, the refs were a total joke.

Does Indiana get in now...?

After getting blown out by a team that just lost at home to a 6-5 Michigan team without a passing attack?

Not even convinced PSU is all that great...but you can say the same thing about the SEC being down compared to prior years.

We should be in anyway, but yes this gives more credence to that W over Michigan.

Couldn't even make the playoffs with a Heisman caliber QB in Ward. 

Once again, while he's an excellent recruiter, Cristobal sucks as a GameDay coach. Guidry needs to be fired at once. 

We've played with fire all year...eventually you'll get burned. I was worried all week about this game because Syracuse has a great offense and our defense is trash.

Looks like I was right to be worried.

I don't mind the extended playoffs but if I'm going to watch professionals play, I'll watch on Sunday. I would have preferred the people making the most money from college athletics, the colleges, to pay stipends. I think the transfer portal has problems and needs to be tweaked. 

But I did get caught up in the UT - Aggie hype and watched. I'm surrounded by a lot of UT grads and former employees among my in-laws and my daughter's in-laws so it was a good night.

Too quick to rules yourselves out there, no? Although I guess committee will find any reason to put Bama in.

If Clemson wins the ACC, I really don't see how they can keep SMU out but put Bama in. SMU would have to get destroyed by 50 for it to happen. Miami vs. Bama is a legit argument, although you can argue 2 of Bama's losses should be disqualifying. Miami's losses were at least to 2 pretty solid teams, although you could also argue that they should have lost at least 2 more games to 2 really bad teams (VT and Cal). South Carolina is probably the hottest team that can still make the playoff, but their loss to Bama probably disqualifies them to the committee.

Can't believe Iowa State is one win away from the playoffs...but such is the state of NCAA football this year.

Colorado would have drawn much better ratings with Deion and two of the top five picks, including the likely Heisman winner in next year's draft.

At any rate, hopefully they provide better games than Iowa or Wisconsin in B10 championships recently.

And maybe Boise State, Indiana, SMU or ISU can give it more of an NCAA bb tourney feel as cinderellas with unaligned fans getting behind them and not just cannon fodder.
