You know the difference between Lucky Charms and Notre Dame? One belongs in a bowl

True interesting fact: 7 of 9 first round games have been decided by 17 points or more. I think it will soon be 8 of 10.
Another reason we don’t need more than 4 teams.
So you do not think the performance of OLotPT does not make a decent argument for including Georgia?
Of course not.

I seem to remember you mentioning something about the Big getting both Michigan and OSU in earlier this year.  Have you forgotten that?

Like I said, no matter how I tried to analyze ND keeping this game close, nope I just couldn't do it.

Well said.


http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25642948/alabama-clemson-part-iv-historic-college-football-playoff-national-championship


Instead of complaining about the sport's lack of parity and how it's becoming as predictable as the NBA or women's college basketball, ask yourself this: Why wouldn't you want to watch Alabama play Clemson again?


Their first two meetings in the CFP National Championship were two of the greatest college football games ever played; it's nearly impossible to decide which one was more memorable. And there's no reason to believe this season's edition at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Jan. 7 (8 p.m. ET on ESPN) won't be as electric.

If it wasn't for some uncharacteristic really stupid loss of focus unforced mistakes by the Tide offense they probably would have laid 65 points on the Sooners.

I thought Nick was going to stroke out as the 1st half ended.

LOL

Me too with all the dumb ass mistakes they were making.

The guy that committed the cheap shot personal foul penalty on the fair catch kickoff and just walked by Saban seemingly nonchalantly was funny. You could see Nicky wanted to chase the guy down but thought better of it.

I didn't watch the game that closely (had the Celts on) but I was a little surprised with the chippiness/loss of composure/dumb penalties that Bama committed.

Other than Alabama last year--how many 3 and 4 seeds have won?
How.soon we forget. OSU was a 4 in year one. Oregon was the 3.
As wisdom loveth correction I should correct myself. One loss Oregon was the two seed over unbeaten Florida State. The 39 point smackdown remains by far the worst beating in the NCAA playoffs.

There was a chance of that.  But the teams aren’t picked until all the games are played.
Regardless, that speculation has no connection to the expansion talk regarding the number
of playoff teams.

Wrong. It has everything to do with it. Your lack of vision again.
