So Notre Dame is a 10 point underdog against Clemson? Wow.

I’m sure there are going to be some bullshit calls like in last year’s Ohio Sate game.
I’m sure of if it.

But Notre Dame should be able to over come it. They have the best blocking RB and TE in all of college, plus a huge OL.

Notre Dame by a TD.

OSU over NW

they will smash ND. they barely beat Clemson with a back up qb and a top line backer out.

and ROLL TIDE!

for a 2 loss clemson team into the playoffs.

but he has war crimes to pay for against osu in the first round. I need clemson to win today.

OSU still doing its thing.

Pastor Sermon putting on a clinic against a Northwestern defense.

This dude has 300 yards, and I haven’t seen anything like this since Reggie Bush’s close to 600 all purpose yards against Fresno State.

He just broke George’s record!

Bring on BUM ass Alabama!

i think the trials and tribulations of covid life finally caught up to this team. not optimistic about playing bama that's for sure.

sermon doing his best biakabutaka impression out there.

if it were bama/osu reporting 0 positives everyone would think they were covering it up

Pat didn’t play that shit....very strict.

if so, props to them.

and not sure wtf osu is doing in that regard...but at this point I have zero confidence they show up to the playoffs healthy.

Also, I don’t believe northwestern is known for its party, social and Greek scene.

I can believe northwestern having few, if any Covid issues.

merely jealous


>I can believe northwestern having few, if any Covid issues.

I agree with you that people would be calling it a cover up if Bama, OSU or Clemson went the whole season without any Covid cases.

Northwestern is a private high academic university. They party in Evanston, but they are also responsible and organized.

But it’s more about Pat Fitzgerald being on top of things as a coach.

Big Ten school in terms of campus size and number of students. Plus, I am sure northwestern went mostly virtual learning. That, plus their coach keeping a tight lid on things kept their numbers to 0.

and Ohio State went mostly virtual like all big ten schools did. Remember the big ten didn’t start college football with some of the other conferences. Students have been taking classes online.

Big or small, Northwestern and the state of Illinois have been very strict with Covid 19 protocols. We were one of the first if not the first major state to ban indoor dining and non-essential work, as well as limiting the population of gatherings.

Covid didn’t get out of hand with Illinois based universities because of proper governing regarding Covid.

States like California just recently implemented more restrictions due to high positivity numbers.

for there to be ample opportunity for virus spread.

one house party is all it takes.

stupidity to occur and for players to fuck up.

You might beat us in football, but we will be your boss later.

That online is mean.

Let’s go. Nice drive.

Should be 14-7 Irish.

That’s okay.

Keeping pushing. Let’s go.

Yeah, I would say that’s the difference. Notre Dame not capitalizing on their 3 red zone opportunities.

- fg
-missed fg
-turnover on downs.

Kelly might not have to worry about boycotting the playoffs once this beat down is complete.

Dabo is a dick, so he will run up the score.

There is still OSU. So it looks like a rematch of last year.

and A&M's claim to the playoffs is what exactly?

they got stomped

aTm will claim SEC and only loss to Bama.

In all honesty, I would give Bama a bye and have OSU and Clemson play but I guess I would be okay and prefer watching ND get destroyed by Bama rather than watch aTm get beat by Bama again.

34-10 is much different than 52-10.

a score like the latter and that couldve been a deal breaker.

of defeat today. I wouldn’t put aTm ahead of ND. I would place ND 4th and match them up against Bama. Bama will beat aTm or ND but I’ve seen Bama beat aTm this year and last year and the year before so I don’t need to see that again.

I always enjoy watching ND get destroyed so I would prefer to see that game.

is more impressive than ND

Usually ND has a gangster schedule but they had an ACC schedule this year.

but I think they get in and get stomped.

I think aTm has only one win against a ranked opponent and that was Florida.

ND played and beat more ranked teams.

I'm just not sure what aTm has done to jump them

>I'm just not sure what aTm has done to jump them

def helps A&M over ND.

Also, FUCK Notre Dame.

and I don’t like Florida at all.

Might find out in the bowl game

defense is ass juice.

take the over on that game

2 of our 3 Ls we didn't start playing until after halftime. for the other ND was just better than us that day. i really thought we'd beat them.

especially the way Bama was cruising in the first half. UF played like hell in the 2nd though.

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. OSU
4. ND

Jimbo has an argument, but bama blew them out. ND got handled tonight, but they still beat clemson earlier. so that gets the nod for me.

LOL

A&M out

skullfucked by Clemson this week and Bama on New Years

But the whole SEC can eat a DICK.

We in there.

I don't mind seeing Notre Dame embarrassed though. nobody cares about A&M; the sole reason they were left out is because bama already beat them by 30 points and it would've been a rematch as the 1 vs. 4 seeds

a clusterfuck of a season to start with, Cincy is actually pretty solid, ND fresh off a decisive loss to justify their exclusion, and the fact that whether it was cincy or ND the outcome of the game would be exactly the same.

and then the committee could cite the cincy/bama beatdown for the rest of eternity as to why they don't want a G5 team in the playoffs ever again.

everyone wins.

The Curse of Woody Hayes is real.

(jk i don't believe in curses) but Dabo just has our number man

I missed the last matchup bc I was on the other side of the world but I'm gonna tune in on New Years day, with trembling hands.

but this has been such a nightmare year and unenjoyable season to watch that it seems perfectly poetic to close out 2020 with a beatdown at the hands of this ignorant ass ghoul better known as dabo.

we'll see if we can show up healthy with a fully intact roster. that's step 1. If we're suiting up the fucking janitor at safety then I'm not even bothering myself to contemplate step 2.

https://twitter.com/BTNDaveRevsine/status/1341025519945572357?s=20

bama might give up 30 but they'll put 50 on ND

I expect it to cash very easily here as well

This could be a blessing in disguise. ND was able to move the ball on Clemson, just couldn’t capitalize in the Red Zone.

you do realize they also have to stop bama? which nobody has done this year.

I’m a ND fan. WTH am I supposed to stay?

Plus Florida hung 46 on them, and ND has a way better defense than Florida. That’s a huge weakness, and it can be exploited. However, I will say if Waddle returns, which is still a long shot, it will make bama even more explosive.

I like ND’s chances.

>I’m a ND fan. WTH am I supposed to stay?

You had them beating Clemson in a rematch and they got absolutely worked.

So going through that same routine again a week later against an even better team is kinda odd. If you're actually doing it with a straight face.

they beat Clemson in the first game, so why wouldn’t I think or root for them to do it again? You truly make no sense.

Alabama has weaknesses in their defense and it can be exploited. Notre Dame can score, and they have a better defense than Florida. So I like their chances, and I think they can beat bama.

Will it happen? Don’t know. We shall see. That’s football.

>they beat Clemson in the first game, so why wouldn’t I
>think or root for them to do it again?

maybe returning a generational qb, 3 defensive starters, and playing on a neutral field would've wisened you up?

>You truly make no
>sense.

I'll try to work on that

your defense is better, but your offense isn't. Book might get some runs off though. that's always been a weakness for bama.

Bama's defense aint what it used to be in years passed, but only a couple teams really got off on them this year. nobody else scored more than 24 and most scored 17 or less.

being a fan shouldn't cause blindness. I'm a tide fan but I don't really want to see Clemson.

Thread. People can root and hope for whatever they want for their team. I never tell someone who and how they can root for their squad and what they hope for, not even lakers fans who think they are going to kill everyone in sight.

So all I have for you is peace with two fingers.

and never said you shouldn't root for your squad. I root for mine, which includes the lakers and the up and down ass rams.

but I can also recognize and say when I think a win might be a long shot.

you didn't answer what you see that the rest of us are not.

oh wait......

yikes

He played like he has Covid.

Florida was beyond short handed. The game should have been canceled.

>Florida was beyond short handed. The game should have been
>canceled.

Team was down 17 players.

And I hate the SEC

But Get real.

opt out or stfu

these programs are taking the paycheck and no-showing. it's a ginormous FUCK YOU to everyone else involved in these games as well as the fans.

>these programs are taking the paycheck and no-showing. it's a
>ginormous FUCK YOU to everyone else involved in these games as
>well as the fans.
>
>

Fuck him. I hope he gets the new strain of Covid.

induced psychosis downward spiral type shit.

also, while he loves making excuses, he takes no ownership of how his coaching decisions and clock management in the final minute of the first half against bama and OU straight up lost his team the games.

he just seems borderline brain damaged at this point.

Taken a toll

And Fock that university over in South Carolina.


Golden Domers and Buckeyes stand united.....and always fock Michigan.

There will be glory tomorrow!

And Shout out to MF - THE MOTHERFOCKING VILLAIN!

never does. Bama going to roll early and win by 24.

I’m also calling OSU beating Clemson. OSU should have won last year if not for that Dobbins drop.

Come on down to the Midwest, so I can give you that gold lace front.

Lou Holtz style.

I think Bama wins by 24.

I do think the Clemson/OSU game will be close and OSU wins.

and he sucks just as badly as he did for SC.

everyone saying how much of an improved team UGA is with Daniels at qb...maybe its cause he was lighting up south carolina and mizzou?

florida and uga will still prob be top 10 teams in the final rankings though.

Good enough to beat Bama. He is good enough to make bad losses seem close and blowout bad teams in the first half. He is a horse shoes and hand grenades type of talent.

Bearcats tried to run out the clock way too early in the game.

He had the defense in prevent mode when all the bulldogs needed was s FG.
The coverage should have been way tighter.. gave those receivers 10 yards of space.

They blew it.

auburn sucked this year.

It was close for a while.

Also, is Nix any good? I haven’t seen any improvement from him.

>Also, is Nix any good?

Keep them to 21 before the second quarter at least.

Smh.

Im sick and tired of watching these beat downs. Kelly just cannot win big big games against elite teams, he cant even make it close. Tired of it.

they better make it count.

Let’s go.

but it won't work for every drive. especially since bama will keep scoring.

If he was playing rn. This dude got everything
Speed hands routes
Blocking
Jump ability
Break tackles

ND raised their standards to be on par with Stanford which caused Lou Holtz to leave. They haven’t been the same since. Either they want to win a national championship or they are okay with being a top 5-10 school.

They can beat everybody except Clemson and Alabama

If not then y’all aren’t really trying to win.
That’s the first thing Butch did when he got to UNC and we started landing ballers

stop listening to these fairy tales lol

>stop listening to these fairy tales lol

What?

Tony rice, Rocket Ishmael, Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, players from all those
great ND teams would be non-qualifiers under ND current academic standards.

Lou Holtz recruited any player he wanted to because ND would admit them regardless
of the academic ability. But that was when ND was football factory...but a new AD came in and raised the standards. ND has a focking Calculus requirement for athletes! There were so many players who wanted to go to ND, but couldn’t because they were unable to pass calculus.

Michigan, Stanford, Notre Dame are all top ten in academic standards ..

“In 2004, all-time Notre Dame great Paul Horning made it clear that the school should ease up on academic restrictions. Horning told ESPN's Dan Patrick that former coach Lou Holtz showed him a list of the top-50 recruits and explained that the university's admissions office would only allow him to recruit three players on the list.

Horning felt in the late 1980s, when Notre Dame won its last national championship, that academic standards were eased. He used Tony Rice, the quarterback of that team, as an example.

Horning explained that Rice, at that time, was one of only two Prop 48 players to ever play for Notre Dame. He told Patrick, "Tony Rice honored himself and graduated in four years."

Aron Gopal, of the Daily Grind, when talking about the Holtz era, said, "In the 1980s, Notre Dame wasn't much more than a football school. Consequently, Holtz could recruit anyone he wanted, including non-qualifiers like Rice.

In 2001, when Gopal made this statement, he said, "Notre Dame supporters have yet to grasp that things have changed at Notre Dame." He went on to point out that Notre Dame was on academic par with schools like Vanderbilt and Georgetown.

Regarding the calculus requirement for all freshmen, Gopal said, "It prevented Bob Davie from recruiting T.J. Duckett and David Terrell, both of who wanted to go to Notre Dame but couldn't pass calculus."

One of the names that keeps popping up as a replacement for Weis is Florida coach Urban Meyer. According to ESPN, Meyer told the media today that he wants to stay at Florida "as long as they'll have me."

ND getting embarrass in a NY day bowl game is as consistent as the NYE ball drop.

no matter tho. ND moved the ball in spots, but couldn't score.

The ball well at times but a lot of teams have been able to move the ball and score on Bama this year so I was expecting that.

I honestly thought we would have seen a 48-24 or 45-20 final score so this game was much lower scoring than I thought it would be.

They outplayed their asses last year but were cheated.

I’d like to see fields get one over on him but Trevor the truth

Keep pumping OSU.

Trey Sermon coming alive made OSU even more dynamic. Master Teague was too slow. So having that big ten championship game was a blessing.

Eject his ass! They did OSU like that last year.

He was trying to injure my man.

And Clemson having to play 11 games while Ohio State only played 6.

Dabo is going to go full trump excuse grievances.

That secondary is fast as fock. ...team got speed all over the field.

He picked Jake Fromm over Fields.

Last year for sure and possibly this year.

I got a real problem with you.

Lol

watching brian kelly take his mask off to yell at the ref was interesting.

may as well not even bother at this point.

I’m not so sure anymore

Fields with the serious arm strength...

Lawrence stock going down...he ain’t as dynamic as Fields!

So I saw plenty of his highlights.

What a snag for the Buckeyes

If I remember right, his final three were USC, UCLA and OSU. Local new station KUSI, which covers local high school football covered his commitment ceremony.

Fields is the man. This game is great so far

He came into a good situation with a very talented QB so we will see what he can do once Fields is gone but I thought he was going to be more Chip Kelly than Urban Meyer.

OSU should have beaten Clemson last year and they are just wrecking them this year.

He still eating off Urban Meyer, though.

All these dudes were recruited by Meyer.

The real test will come
Next season.

After urban left.

We will see what he can do next season when he has to replace Fields.

Plus, OSU recruits itself and the Big 10 is looking down right now so OSU should be running the Big 10 for a while.

at osu.

day has been recruiting like a maniac, especially with wr's (garrett wilson)

again, i have no idea what this dude is talking about

has been paying dividends

Who is a big part of the offense, and Day is still eating off that.
Clemson had zero answers for his speed

Olave, Ruckert, Farrell...3 OLs. ..that defense..Wade, Williamson, starting LBs and that D-Line

The majority of that starting team are Meyers recruits, bro.

In two years we will see what Day is really made of. He is doing a great job....but let’s see when the slate is fully clean.

the fact he more or less spent this season designing a game plan to fucking rip Brent Venables' heart out, then went out and did it...that's elite coaching

Just some basic execution errors (2 drops from JK) and a bogus ejection otherwise that game also would've been over in the first half.

What's interesting about this year was that Day put venables on notice about the sign stealing. And despite Day tipping his hand and letting venables know it wasnt going to work this year, clemson D was still completely lost and out of position.

The gamesmanship here was really interesting.

>the fact he more or less spent this season designing a game
>plan to fucking rip Brent Venables' heart out, then went out
>and did it...that's elite coaching

last year by lsu and now.

fields is playing his ass off.

Fields letting that thing fly

I like it. Clemson isn't as unlikable as Bama, but f'k Dabo

On offense and defense...

I don’t follow Clemson like that, but I thought they had some speed.

lsu was faster last year too.

Is it my imagination or is that shit an illusion that won't translate to the NFL at all?

He is probably closer to Andrew Luck or Rodgers in terms of ability to scramble and run.

>He is probably closer to Andrew Luck or Rodgers in terms of
>ability to scramble and run.

Hmm. We'll see but he doesn't look like he's at Luck's level to me either.

He was forgotten about....now that dude is fresh, no wear and tear.

Sermon’s draft stock is through the roof....running all over northwestern and run all over Clemson.


Does he come back next year?

I know everyone gets an extra year of eligibility if they want it due to Covid but I don’t see him returning after the way he has played at the end of the year.

Yeah, transferred from the sooners.

530 yards in 2 games. Bananas.

That championship game is going to be stacked with speed and too draft picks.

Jones, Smith, Harris

Vs

Fields, Olave, Sermon

i hate michigan but that's just football. with dabo and clemson it's personal. that dude is just a vile mutherfucker. and last year's loss was maybe worst eve experienced as a sports fan.

tonight was a gotdamn emotional purging.

to Clemson.

I felt like OSU would win this game but I didn’t think they would win in such dominating fashion. I figured OSU would win by 10 or 14 with a 4th quarter TD or FG to basically provide some cushion for the margin of victory.

Who would have thought that the Bama/ND would be the closer and somewhat more competitive game today.

and most recently with a covid depleted roster.

the masses only focused on the less than stellar moments, and somehow got it in their heads that OSU was no longer talented and that fields was overrated. cfb fans/media are wildly reactionary to begin with. when dealing with a small sample size of games this was ratcheted up ten-fold. everyone felt personally aggrieved by osu getting into the playoffs, which was only further amplified from dabo and mullen pot-stirring...and in order to justify osu's exclusion from the playoffs, they had to convince themselves that they were a talentless, shitty team.


if you watched every game you would've been able to see a very talented team that struggled at times with getting a rhythm and just needed the opportunity to get at full strength and put it all together. but the potential and talent was always there.

A 5.5 point favorite. Bama avg. 48.0 a game and OSU avg 43.0 points a game.

Anything higher than 7 and everybody and their momma going to jump on OSU.

public will be all over bama per usual

Fuck Dabo
Fuck that roided up linebacker mercenary
Fuck their Jar jar Binks QB
Fuck Brett Vulnerable and his defense


Feels good to put this second tier football program back in its place

Dabo had Urbans balls in a jar in his office

Thanks to Nebraska and Notre Dame for pushing back and wanting to play football so we get the Buckeye v. Tide title game

I was wondering if I would see you talk your shit here since Twitter went away.

Dabo gives me Hugh Freeze vibes. Trey Sermon transfer was certainly fortuitous for Ohio State, Oklahoma could have used him earlier in the year.

LOL, Texas would have been better off brining Herman back.

https://twitter.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1345414063388504070?s=20

terrible timing for bama to boot.

wonder if Sumlin would make sense for bama next, but he probably won't get a look.

but, remember when Herman was the hottest dude out? ESPN was doing on the scene reports from Houston’s campus and shit. That feels like it was 1000 years ago.

But I just don’t think Sark is an upgrade to Herman so I don’t understand the rush to fire Herman now and hire Sark.

CFB is pretty deep in the coaching hiring cycle so if someone wanted Sark they could have hired him. This just seems like panic by Texas. If Texas really wanted Sark they could have easily hired him next season.

>But I just don’t think Sark is an upgrade to Herman so I
>don’t understand the rush to fire Herman now and hire Sark.

what has this dude done to land one of the best jobs in America? other than being at best mediocre on the field an a complete abomination off of it?

Nick has a way of wiping the slate clean for folks. Butch Jones got a job recently too.

for a generationally talented offense

not much else

program. not saying it justifies him getting the Texas job, but his name is hot. hiring folks are prisoners of the moment. and he white.

In this cycle. This seems so out of left field.

Sure Texas was talking about moving on from Herman but I haven’t read anywhere to indicate they wanted Sark.

this wasnt a 'we better snatch him up ASAP before some other program does' type of hire.

there's a laundry list of available coaches every offseason who are of similar value

it wasn't a ton of teams looking for him, but auburn was interested. even last year, Colorado looked at him.

I think texas beat everyone to the punch and that it was a job that was hard to turn down. most folks thought he'd make himself available after next season.

Fuck Tom Herman all day but Jesus this school and fan base loves them some mediocre white men

im beyond impressed watching them get worked by a unc team missing however any starters

Getting mad worked..

Notre Dame kept NC in check with all players playing.

Aggies would have gotten stomped by Clemson.

They should be blowing NC out.....it shouldn’t be a struggle.

smh the 2 replacement RBs need to put their transfer papers in cause they sorry
And the WRs killed Sam AGAIN with 4th quarter butterfingers. Sam couldn’t hand them these balls any better

and that was one of the luckiest bullshit ass covers I've ever been on the winning end of

there has been *three* good semifinal games in CFP history. the rest of them have been lopsided snoozers.

There's just not enough parity in CFB to suggest having an expanded field would lead to better competition. In fact, things would get worse. If the number #1 team is beating the number #4 team by 28, do we really think the number #8 is going to play them better?

but the 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 would prolly be more entertaining than what we have now.

I want to see Alabama look ugly as shit against a military school....who they refuse to play doing a regular season!

Seeing West Virginia look like a prep school against Army for most of the game had people shocked.....

There is a reason why some top schools refuse to play some of these mid major schools but will go and play some weak ass FCS ( paying them so they can run up the score...)

A bigger playoff would definitely make shit more competitive...unexpectedly.

We saw what NC did to Texas Am with their top players not available.
We saw how Cincinnati competed against Georgia. Both SEC teams looked wack as shit against basically basketball schools.

Get these power conference schools against hungry ass mid majors...you will see some shocking shit.

it wasn't perfect but i feel like the championship games were better, and we got FAR better bowl matchups overall.

now don't none of this shit matter to anyone but the money counters

but I think players opting out of bowl games to get ready for the draft will now make most bowl games unwatchable regardless of the set up.

maybe an 8 team playoff would give star players more incentive to play in hopes of making the championship tho

of any sport.

Expanding to 8 and then eventually 16 is like trying to fix your broken leg by walking into incoming traffic.

And I love the notion that playoff games are somehow immune to player opt-outs. Dilute these playoff games and watch what happens.

If risking NFL money is the most important thing, then it's the most important thing and nothing is going to change that.

Seed them by record, give a team a wild card berth to make it 12 teams.
Wild card would be given to the runner -up from the best conference ( based on records).

Top 4 teams get byes.

The remaining 8 play in the first week, and the winners play the 4 bye teams.

The remaining 4 go to the semifinals, and the winners from that play in the championship.

Completed in one month.

All this man-made ranking shit needs to be kicked out. Do it like the NFL (based on division winners and best records).

All that committee shit has to go bye bye....and conference champs should mean
Auto playoff. Got to go the nfl route.

it's amazing to see how far Pruitt had fallen in a year, to the point the school actively investigated itself to get rid of him for cause.

*shrug*. the fans got what they wanted last time, and we're all back at the same spot. the QAnon contingent of Tennessee fandom is still strong -- literally, they are talking about GRUDEN again -- so who knows where this goes.

Gruden is to Tennessee as Trump is to QAnon. I’m also sure Tennessee has a lot of QAnon followers so that makes sense.

another scumbag predator

but is pretty gross.

seeing it up close in person is super cringe.

it'll probably be the latter and not because it'll be an attempt at gender equity.

>
>You played sports in college? You probably have some
>stories...

I didn't play but had some experience on the S&C side of things so I had a little bit of exposure to the recruiting process. the weight room is always a part of the recruiting tour and recruits were always escorted by hostesses. and let's just say that it was easy to tell who the higher priority recruits were based on the hostesses.

i had a coworker who back in school, while not attractive herself (big girl), had a big personality and made friends easily. life of the party type.

her college job was basically to help organize the hostess program for football and recruit her hot (and mainly white) friends into it. she had stories for DAYS.
