Saban is begging like a high school kid after prom, and beating Auburn on a fluke is now something the second best team in the country does, so it must be the first weekend in December

it will all be for naught i think, when there are 4 13-0 teams, but Texas incinerating OSU and leaving Bama to seethe would be pretty funny

my championship picks in order of game time:
Friday
7:05 CUSA - Liberty > NMSU
8pm Pac12 - Washington* > Oregon
Saturday
12pm Big12 - Texas > OK St
12pm MAC - Toledo > Miami
3pm MWC - UNLV > Boise
4pm SEC - U(sic)GA* > Bama
4pm Sun Belt - Troy > App St
4pm AAC - Tulane > SMU
8pm ACC - FSU* > UL
8:05 Big10 - UM* > Iowa

Liberty, Tulane, and Toledo all sitting at 11-1 fighting for that last spot. im rooting for Toledo, who was unlucky week 1 vs Illinois not to be 12-0

I hate the 3rd basemen and his fake beard so much .

Anyways , I cannot wait for this Oregon UW game. I’m hoping Oregon makes the title game and loses on a fg bc I don’t want to see 40 year old Bo nix hoist a trophy

If Washington wins , that 4th down call vs Washington State with Odunze might be the play call of the year , what a great creative play to draw up in that moment

If Jayden Daniel’s wasn’t such a freak , Penix and Nix could be duking it out for Heisman rights

and early on, Washington looks to be the more relaxed and confident team

i said in last week's post that being undefeated is a mental burden. they're "there" now and let all that go. seems to be the case thus far.

and then an important first down to get out away from their end zone

ducks might be waking up

A tale as old as time.

Just making it purple rain on these DBs.

They should be the top 2 WRs selected in the draft.

Keon, Nabers, Legette...lots of studs

They're really dialed in on defense and are making some really confident playcalls on offense. UW looks much better with their WR corp back intact.

funky lil zone blitz and Penix got baited into checking right into it

not sure why they are defending Muhammad.

Johnson is a beast at RB and Penix dropping dimes n

Oregon needed that score badly.

fuck this conference. good riddance.

just gifted Oregon a TD essentially cuz...............................WHY?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

yes i'm fucking furious.

could get 100

the push was innovated like 20 years ago

which is why hes a perfect fit for this offense

everything is timing or x steps and throw to a spot

Oregon came out with a lot of stuff on the DL during their surge, and UWs last 2 possessions have completely neutralized it

that is a short yardage call for when you have to have it

prevent defense with 2 and a half minutes left

ON THAT PREVENT SHIT.

HINT: FUCK IT.

You are supposed to have a shitty last year not the best year of your existence.

it eats everything.

Decades of bad decisions and poor leadership are to blame.

So sure it was about him trying to make more money at first and when it didn’t work out, instead of abandoning it and signing with Fox or ESPN, it turned into stubbornness and pride.

Also, not getting rid of the 9 conference games and going to 8 games cost the Pac12 money due to every team and sometimes a CFP contender catching an unexpected late season loss.

the fuck is Washington doing?

SEE YOU IN THE BIG 10 BITCHES.

Bo Nix should get some free shots at his ribs.

But they are both white, young and keep losing to their biggest rivals.

In two seasons under his coordination, Georgia's defense led the nation in rushing defense in both 2019 (74.6 ypg) and 2020 (72.3 ypg), in scoring defense in 2019 (12.6 ppg), and in rushing TDs allowed in 2019 (2, UGA record). The Bulldogs ranked 2nd and 3rd nationally in total defense in the 2020 and 2019 seasons.


Ryan Day has Urban's breakfast recepts to his name

Would you trade Lanning for Day right today?

Yes, Lanning succeeded as a DC under Smart but he hasn’t succeeded as the HC at Oregon. Success is winning a Pac12 championship or making the CFB playoffs.

He needed to beat OSU last season to play in the Pac12 championship and they lost 38-34. In fact, every big game Lanning has coached in with Oregon has been a loss where his defense has given up more than 30+ points. He has given up 37, 36 and 34 points to UW in 3 consecutive losses.

How much of his success at Georgia was due to Lanning versus Smart?

In terms of resumes, stop actin like Dan Lanning got the job becasue the previous coach endorsed him for the job,

his resume has enough merit and it stands alone.

You're just nitpicking now. Gn.

Specifically their ability to win their conference and beat their rivals.

Sure, he was a very good DC at Georgia and he earned the Oregon job. I am not disputing what he accomplished at Georgia or why he got the HC job at Oregon. I am saying as the HC at Oregon he hasn’t delivered the types of victories, especially against Oregon main rivals (UW and OSU) and championships that Oregon fans expect. He is a defensive guy and I’m sure Oregon fans are wondering why his defense can’t stop UW from scoring 30+ each time they play.

Haven’t watched Oregon since Cristobal and them came into the shoe and left it in rubble

(Until this year)

where would they be?

a second year coach winning 11 games and only losing to maybe the best team in the country is also success, and a bowl win cements that

cmon lol

giving up 2 first downs shows he made the right call

And losing to your teams biggest rivals.

Lanning has now lost 3 in a row to UW and also lost to Oregon State last season, which cost them a chance to play in the Pac12 championship last season.

Lanning is now 1-3 against Oregons top 2 rivals and those losses have cost Oregon a shot at the CFB playoffs.

He is the defensive version of Ryan Day but when his defense faces a decent opponent they get shredded.

they gave the championship game MVP to Penix and NOT to Dillon Johnson.

but DJ ball controlled the Ducks for 100 plus yards, scored 2TDs, and busted a 3rd and long to win the game...all on a bum foot.

i think he was more deserving. significantly more.

That really opened up the running game for UW tonight.

Penix was throwing dimes in the first half.

Especially given how Johnson iced the game with his run on 3rd-9.

Penix was excellent, but I felt UDub's running game was their rock when things started to get tight.

Now go freeze your asses off in the Big10 until our teams meet again.

Don’t forget to turn the lights out on the Pac12 network on your way out tonight.

and theyve left 4 huge points on the field in the kicking game

Like, Tim Tebow throwing a knuckleball pass in practice bad.

these passes are thrown right to them

Don’t wanna hear shit about uga getting in the top 4

Michigan
Bama
Washington
Texas???

FSU due to their QB

assuming they win tonight.

Can’t leave3 undefeated teams that won their conference out of the playoffs.

just stop taking their phone calls and pretend like they dont exist

no explanations, no excuses

I don't think anyone saw him early in the year, especially against Texas, and saw him as the reason Alabama beat UGA in the SEC Championship.

For anyone who doubted Dark Lord Saban as a coach, this should be Exhibit A of why he's the greatest coach of the modern era.

that's what you get for your weak-ass scheduling

Then get blown out in semifinals of course

Even if one of them stumble it should be Texas over Georgia.

even if FSU loses tonight, Texas won their conference and beat bama. bama won Georgia's conference and beat Georgia.

Georgia...beat Missouri at home? bye Kirby! bet you didn't think you wouldn't even make the top four, did you? completely wasted a defending championship season

to show how trash he is.

kicking a field goal on 4th and 1 at the 20???? That is just odd…

How is Iowa 10-2?

Did they bore teams to death?

This is why I said if PSU does get rid of Franklin, this would be the year to do it since they won't have to play both Michigan and OSU next year.

That being said, I don't think they should get rid of him. Yes, his offense been awful the last couple of years but dude gets 10 wins a year and took over a program in transition.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commercial after the call on the field, had a LONG break, came back and there was a change of possession so Klatt had to give a long explanation of what happened and why half the crowd was pissed.

my point was they dont give a fuck. its about the money.

The commercials this year have been outlandish at times.

This is some painful football to witness

cmon

is Notre Dame good? they played an ACC schedule.

which they are not

ranked there. after the top 12 it is a bunch of mediocrity, relatively speaking. they were 14th and 16th headed into the games -- Louisville beat the team ranked between them (Notre Dame) and the 19th ranked team as well (NC State).

there is a much better argument against Iowa, since they didn't beat anybody and looked bad doing it, but the P5 teams ranked below them had 4 losses each and plenty of their own warts.

and i told you its because they had 10 wins

i added that they were losing to undefeated top 5 teams because thats exactly whats supposed to happen to teams ranked ~15th.

im not sure how many other ways there are to interpret that one

its impressive how bad this conference is at the QB position.

and the offense was terrible even before he got hurt

its not the players

>its not the players

lol what?

yet they still got what they always get

the mediocrity of the offense was baked into the program because of who was putting it together

we'll see who takes that job next year, but if they continue not putting ppl in position to succeed, those ppl will continue not to succeed regardless of how well regarded they are

in the SEC. Both transferred to the PAC 10 and immediately put up Tecmo Bowl numbers. Granted, they’re on much better coached teams now, but do they put those same numbers up if they weren’t in the PAC 10??

QB play is down right now in the Big 10, but it’s not as easy to put up those numbers up regardless due to better defensive play.

> but do they put those same numbers up if
>they weren’t in the PAC 10??

Usually you see this with BYU and Mormon players who have taken a leave to go on their mission and come back to play after.

that was a wretched performance

if UGA won, Texas wouldve ***NEVER*** jumped FSU

if Florida fucking State cant play until they lose, the national championship is as fake as its ever been

once again, for the third year in a row, id rather just play a traditional Rose Bowl and be done with it

what a terrible time for injuries at the QB position.

their resume over the past 3 years is irrelevant

Based on the criteria used by the selection committee the first three should be clear (regardless of order) - Washington, FSU, and Michigan are undefeated P5 conference champions. After that you have Texas, Alabama, and Georgia. Texas and Bama are one loss conference champs and they need to decide whether Texas beating Bama or Texas having a worse loss is more important. But either way Georgia is out - both because they lost to one of the other three teams in the conversation AND they didn’t win their conference.

that is not one of the best 4 teams in the country w/o him. they look like shit.

just sayin’

lol

fine tuning which decisions they make doesnt change that

Louisville, Iowa, along with undefeated Liberty who has played no one.

OSU and UGA are the exact same thing, no matter how pathetically kirby smart begs you to see differently

>OSU and UGA are the exact same thing

If it's about "the four best teams," well, there are multiple teams that would be favored neutral field over Washington. But they're in because they went undefeated, not because they're one of the four best teams. But if going undefeated in a major conference matters, then FSU should be in.

People will pretend that "every game matters," but they don't, not always-- and they'll pretend "it's about picking the best teams," but it's not, not always. The only consistency is "which of these four teams do we think will give us the best ratings?" Which, fair enough. Every tournament bracket not solely determined by record is certainly prone to such biases creeping in. Just sucks when it's just four teams.

And I can't see a world in which teams in contention don't start flagrantly lying about injuries going forward, lol. If FSU had just lied and said "actually, Travis might be okay in a couple weeks," they could be in!

And honestly if you let TV networks run your sport, this is what you get.

No way should an undefeated FSU be left out of the playoffs, regardless of injury.

Going undefeated doesn't mean jack when your biggest win is LSU in the first game of the season. Schedule harder out of conference games and stop crying. I'm glad they looked at the QB injury. It makes a difference. FSU is not the same team and putting them in for pitty sake just means surrendering a game. No one wants to admit the right decision was made, we get the best game rather than Michigan curb stomping FSU and their third string QB.

Would you be good with an undefeated Bama not making it?

but I think their scheduling was fine; their SOS problem is because Clemson was down big and the ACC in general sucked this year.

their non-conference schedule was LSU and @ Florida. how many other P5 teams are scheduling a harder non-conference than that?

Alabama’s SOS was only 31st so it isn’t like Bama played a top 10 SOS this season.

FSU beat two SEC teams fairly comfortably. The ACC was down this year. If Clemson and Miami were marginally better, as in won 1-2 more games each their strength of schedule would have probably been in the 35-45 range

The biggest issues with FSUs schedule was playing North Alabama.

and if we're being technical, Rodemaker is now the starter, and they beat UL with *his* backup

Rodemaker will play in their bowl game

We JUST saw Oregon favored to beat them by 9.5 on a neutral field, and Washington won. Before Friday night I heard a lot of analysts saying Oregon was currently playing the best in the country. So the “would be favored on a neutral field” thing isn’t really relevant.

That being said, there are no consistent rules/criteria to how they figure this stuff out. They justify whatever they want based on ratings or whatever. Especially in a case like this where whatever decision is made would go against some type of justification that has been used in prior years.

Washington wasn't favored, and they won. so bama being "the favorite" matters as much as Michigan being the favorite over TCU or Georgia being the favorite over Ohio State. if we're just going by betting favorites, the actual wins on the field don't seem to matter that much.

> Before Friday night I heard a lot
>of analysts saying Oregon was currently playing the best in
>the country.

especially since these network talking heads are just going to bat for their affiliated teams

i get what you're saying tho

Strength of schedule matters. Im glad Georgia and their cupcake schedule were left out. Same with FSU. Schedule harder games and you don't have to worry.

Georgia, and both Michigan and Washington to loose in the CFP leaving a 1 loss Texas or Bama as the CFP with an undefeated FSU arguing they are the REAL champs…

That is about to be the least exciting and lowest viewed game. They might as well just put it in the Pac12 network and play it after dark.

and prove they fucked up.

throw it all away.

if they were worried about getting shown up they wouldnt have given a rabid FSU the chance to beat UGA

.

I know people are down on tOSU this year, but top to bottom, they're a more talented roster that is a bit down from their usual excellence, and which chief rival has their number. Mizzou played well throughout, but if there's a theme in the program since the school gained any sense of notoriety, it is their consistency being outplayed by top-tier teams.

If MIZ and tOSU play 100 times, MIZ wins maybe 15. I'll eat my words if MIZ pulls the upset. I'll be happy if the margin of victory is less than double digits.

thats not how i would characterize one killer mistake

If Missouri has a full squad of their regular starters versus a bunch of OSU second string players, I like Missouri’s chances.

We always seem to lose that big game...even back to the Pinkel years. I won't pretend to know enough about OSU roster to know what elite guys might sit out, but at full strength, I gotta think they're a handy favorite.

has nothing to do with my feelings on osu's capabilities at full strength

FSU with an 8 snap frosh ain’t it

It sucks, but cmon, u know they shouldn’t be there and they’re not.

But again, alls well next year, YAY GREEN WAVE

and if a backup QB (Glenn) wins and the starter (Rodemaker) is expected back for the playoff, thats allegedly supposed to be treated like a positive

and, if UGA wins, there is no way Texas gets in over FSU. 4 undefeated teams is what theyve been waiting 10 years for.

i have no affinity whatsoever for FSU, and theres no reason for Michigan to fear Bama. i just hate that the default decision is always to make it faker. this has never been a real national championship, and today its even less of one than it was yesterday.

its just one more thing that allegedly meant something getting tossed aside in the mental gymnastics required for them to customize a TV event in lieu of crowning a champion.

This committee was put together to make this exact call if the opportunity came up and not just rely on numbers and rankings. And it finally happened and people are up in arms.

and im firmly in the camp that was always disgusted at the concept, and even further disgusted by the way it changes and contradicts its own precedent to suit the needs of the broadcast

Most Michigan fans in their Bobby Bowden feelings are not being honest though. It might not be the fuzzy happy ending decision, but Bama being in is the right move.

>Most Michigan fans in their Bobby Bowden feelings are not
>being honest though.

everyone ive ever spoken to about this in my offline circle never wanted anything other than the Pac 12 champ

real Rose Bowl Big Ten/Pac game.

Also, while I feel like FSU got played and should be in, I don’t think we should be playing them. It should have been the three undefeated P5 champs at 1-3, and then decide between Texas and Bama for the fourth spot. With the question of whether Bama’s win over #1 Georgia was better than Texas’s win over Bama. And whether Bama’s loss to Texas was a “better loss” than Texas’s to Oklahoma. THAT’S where the decision should have been made. You’re leaving someone out but they would be a team who had lost a game.

And honestly given the above, I think it still should have been Bama at 4 with Texas being left out, and Michigan would still be playing Bama.

dont you remember 2 weeks ago it was Oregon that might actually be the best?

i never thought U(sic)GA would lose, but i did think it would be

U(sic)GA
UM
(pac12)
FSU

no matter who won. But I was giving that major side eye even tho I would have been happy for the game, because even that sort of drop seemed contrived and sleazy.

I *severely* underestimated them.

Once bama won everyone became huge FSU supporters all of a sudden, weird coincidence.

>Once bama won everyone became huge FSU supporters all of a

They’re taught to throw a screen pass for a negative yardage

There’s actually very little creativity in Ryan Days playbook

No pre snap audibles , shifts , adjustments , no tempo or hurry up

Just slow and lethargic ….all the team speed we used to have isn’t there anymore

texas ohio just tradin qbs

so you'd think there's a plan of some sort. riley leonard is the only legit option i see as of now. dante moore is super talented but was dreadful this year and cannot be relied on to come in and win a NC, let alone the big 10..

mccord wasn't good enough but gave it his best and played through injury...I hope he can find success elsewhere.

both guys can run the ball so that will be a bit of a change of pace

Have we ever seen Ryan Day utilize a mobile QB? And would he relenquish playcalling duties to an OC or be the control freak he is now?

would not be surprised at all

wild how quick these QB’s bounce. Is it because there is more money in the portal than staying with the same team?

for talented QB’s of course.

as is Oregon St, who's losing DJU and his top 50 recruit backup

not a fan of it at all if it happens

he tore Oregon St up bad

>he tore Oregon St up bad

and those moments are not going to fly at osu where every interception becomes a national emergency

there isnt that much "win now" in the portal. Gabriel, Ward, Will Howard...and that's about it. i think Dequon Finn is the next guy below that tier fwiw.

>there isnt that much "win now" in the portal.

I think he's the type of player that looks better when his team has lower expectations

but hey, maybe he improves with greater talent -- although in that case, I think his best fit would be Oregon

> I think his best fit would be Oregon

- "Best" 4 teams
- Even more polarizing short-term fodder to be argued over endlessly
- Absolutely obliterates the ACC. No doubt that Clemson, FSU, and anyone else who wants to be relevant nationally is bouncing ASAP if not sooner

>- Absolutely obliterates the ACC. No doubt that Clemson, FSU,

but the 12-team playoff will keep them together for now

Yep. The big playoff is key. It is also RISKY.

On one hand, some of these mid-major teams that have cried foul for years might show up with their shady 10-2 records and get thrown down a flight of stairs with everyone watching.

BUT

The big playoff is gonna be EXCELLENT for college football as soon as one of those mid-major teams catches some blue blood slipping. And if we're lucky, it happens the first year.

the playoff has no internal validity without the smaller schools having a guaranteed path to getting sliced up by Clemson in the first round, but people wont see that until they wim

that is the better question.

every other college sport has a legit playoff system except for Football

let it play out on the field

you might get one of these Boise State/OU type upsets every 5 years. this aint basketball. for the most part it's just gonna end in a lot of pain and injuries for these midmajors. they just need to go do their own thing I don't need to see them play the big boys

but its fun when it happens.

if we get an upset every 4 to 5 years but its starts in year 1 or 2 of the new format it will be fun.

Thing is, they don’t even need to win all these matchups.Even a close loss will have people hype.

>just need to go do their own thing I don't need to see them

as a fan of a team that was down to its 3rd string QB , before the start of the inaugural CFB playoff...that whole "they dont have their starting QB" argument is pure bullshit


FSU fans have every right to be livid.
