2683797, GIVE IT TO ME, AGAIN!!! (c) Bama/Clemson: Chip Game ‘19
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-07-19 07:43 PM
I don’t have a horse in the race...but I think I’m leaning Clemson. Something about that QB, I like.

2683832, how so?
Posted by will_5198, Mon Jan-07-19 09:29 PM
not paying attention but Clemson is much more dangerous with Lawrence

Bryant is a very good player, it's just the truth...same as how bama is better with Tua than Hurts
2683837, The way the mentioned him transferring was just disingenuous
Posted by Ceej, Mon Jan-07-19 09:35 PM
He had every right to, and wasn’t a bitch about it at all.
2683845, well that part I agree with

Posted by Marauder21, Mon Jan-07-19 08:46 PM
UGA and MAYBE Ohio State are the only two with the talent to play with these two, and they weren't as consistently dominant week to week as Bama and Clemson.

This is not a good year to make the 8 or 16 team playoff argument (and also because we do not need an expanded playoff, any year.)

surely they can give up one of those games

It ain’t like the stands are filled to see those shit show games.

Keep the conference championship games.

2683872, The stands are sold out for those games, though
Posted by Marauder21, Mon Jan-07-19 11:06 PM
Literally, they sell out. Those games keep the smaller programs afloat, so you'll never get rid of them.

I do think the ACC and SEC need to switch to 9 conference games and 3 non-conference. The conferences are way too big nowadays to justify only playing two teams from the other division.

Like, I've got no reason to hate him, except that he seems like he was probably bummed he couldn't watch Imagine Dragons at halftime.

But the hype he's going to get the next 2-3 years is going to be Tebow combined with Manziel, but bigger.

I might not be able to handle it.

Posted by Marauder21, Mon Jan-07-19 11:19 PM
By the start of his junior year, ESPN will have a full-time Trevor correspondent who will also produce his reality show on the ACC Network. This will be legal without paying him somehow.

At the same time, I want the Vikings to start dismantling their team now so they can get the #1 pick in the 2021 draft and take him.

He's about to get a ring so no reason to stay.

Yet he can't go pro for two more seasons.

He's already better than a few NFL starters and a GANG of back up NFL QBs.

He'd be the #1 pick right today and he's stuck being a college kid for 2 more years.

Now, maybe he wants to be. I'm just sayin.

Posted by 3xKrazy, Mon Jan-07-19 11:56 PM
brilliance in various moments but never showed it for a full 4 quarters.

at one point I thought it was because they never needed to but now I'm thinking they were just never capable of it. it was a poorly coached and emotionally indifferent team.
2683911, To be fair, they didn’t need to bring it for 4 quarters in 9 of their games
Posted by calij81, Tue Jan-08-19 12:04 AM
Because they had such a big lead at halftime.

However, I feel like Bama did bring it for 4 quarters against LSU, aTm, Mississippi State, and Georgia.
2683913, I was fooled
Posted by will_5198, Tue Jan-08-19 12:08 AM
LSU was probably their high point, and they went into coast mode after that

talented as always but most of their starters this year were inexperienced underclassmen who never had to lead when shit got rough

you saw them get punched in the mouth for the first time, and they couldn't get up
2683918, as good as advertised, beaten by an equal.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Jan-08-19 12:33 AM
seen both in person this year (clemson/wake and bama/tenn). clemson played a knockout game tonight. venables should ask for another raise. he was in his bag tonight w/ the scheme. and saban knew early his D couldnt stop them. especially #4 for bama D was getting worked so bad his leg gave out.

round 5 next year
2683930, nope sorry. bama folded like a cheap suit.

Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Jan-08-19 09:36 AM
If the Big10 or Pac team was the defending champs and undefeated no one would have a legit argument for them being imposters.

They just got mopped by some senior leadership who waited a year for payback.

Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Jan-08-19 12:21 AM
It was brutal to watch as a Bama fan. Some questionable missed calls, but it probably wouldn't have made any difference. Clemson played unbelievably, and Bama did not.

I'm not a sore loser, they came to win and did. Props to Dabo and the whole entire team. They were ready and they did it. I give respect when it's due.

Maybe next year....

Posted by will_5198, Tue Jan-08-19 10:14 AM
bama will keep rolling on offense, since Tua and his receivers are all back

but that defense will lose 5-6 starters, likely including their best player (Quinnen Williams)

Clemson actually has more starters returning on offense than bama

losing that nucleus at d-line will be a concern, but they have been talent evaluating at a high level and Venables is one of the best assistants in the country

Clemson blowout draws lowest TV ratings for CFP title game

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Clemson's blowout victory over Alabama in the College Football Playoff drew a 14.6 overnight rating for ESPN across its multiple-channel broadcast, the lowest-rated title game in the 5-year-old postseason system.

The viewership numbers reported Tuesday by Nielsen provided some better news for the network. ESPN said Nielsen reported that 25.2 million viewers tuned into Monday night's game on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The figures do not yet include ESPNEWS or streaming viewership. The 2016 national championship game between Alabama and Clemson that was decided on a last-second touchdown drew 25.3 million viewers.

The third championship meeting of the Tigers and Crimson Tide, and fourth straight playoff meeting overall, was also the most lopsided CFP final. The ratings and viewership topped out at 16.2 and 27.8 million in the first half when the Tigers extended their lead to 15 points.

Clemson won 44-16, the largest margin of victory in a college football championship game since Alabama beat Notre Dame by 28 in the 2012 BCS title game.

Last season's Alabama overtime victory against Georgia drew a 16.7 overnight rating.

Overall, the New Year's Six games, including the Cotton and Orange bowl semifinals, averaged a 9.0 overnight rating, which is up 8 percent from the second year of the playoff when the semifinals were held in the Cotton and Orange bowls on New Year's Eve.

The College Football Playoff pivoted away from its original plan to play semifinal games on New Year's Eve, moving several sets of games off weeknights to Saturdays instead.
