    Being in a conference is cool for a year, but holy shit it would be boring playing all the same teams year after year after year.

    With Oregon losing and BYU getting totally destroyed by the committee, the list of teams that could possibly make the playoffs over an 11-1 ND is pretty much USC (doubt they can jump us), Cinci (doubt they can jump us), and a second SEC team beating Bama in the title game and them both getting in (only real way we get shut out IMO)

    I’m sure if it came down to it, the Big 10 would make an exception or change the rule to get OSU in

    How crazy will it be to have to play Clemson 3 times in a year if you want to win a National Championship?

    What a play by Correll to think about touching the guy who jumped offside.

    and to think some drunken idiots were talking bad about Jeff Quinn in this thread.

  18. I was unable to watch the game live but found out the result before i watched the replay. Reading the doom posts in hindsight are fun when you know what happens, I don't blame any of you (well some) but I get negatively nelly status quite quick in games so i get it. Lea was amazing, Book frustrates me with how good he is, I'd prefer to be right than acknowledge I am wrong and he is proving me wrong every game. Selfish of him

    It’s horrible, I tell Ohio state fans this all the time. Their schedule is fucking awful year after year, I can’t believe anyone pays money to be a season ticket holder for some combination of Akron, FAU, Oregon State, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, and Penn State every year

    what a waste of money

    It just makes me laugh that Ohio St is somehow going to be a playoff lock and pass the eye test when they've given up 17, 25, 27 and 35 to powerhouses Nebraska, Penn St, Rutgers and IU.

    I'm sure they'll be light up one win Sparty and two win Michigan. I'm trying to understand how ND has to prove themselves worthy by beating Clemson a second time while there's a potential that Ohio St gets in beating one team over .500, while possibly only playing 5 games.:idk:

    well honestly, i think if we keep it close to clemson we are in regardless of whether we win or not

    avoiding Bama in the first round is still plenty of reason to try and win the ACC obviously, and of course for the LOLZ of winning an ACC title before Miami

    Its more an argument on eye test versus most deserving. ND passes the eye test just as much as Ohio St or anyone else this year, but if Alabama were to lose ND is likely out with a loss to Clemson but Ohio St is just in?

    Clemson being ranked over OSU in the first playoff rankings makes me think this is not even a sure thing, it would get kinda mucky though. Just for clarity i do want aTm to lose once more and Bama just win out

    to add to that i do think bamas schedule that was actually looking pretty tough has taken a bit of a nosedive with LSU, UGA and Auburn all looking way worse than originally thought. Curious if they are even a lock (depending on what else happens) if UF would curbstomp them (dont see it happening, think bama is easily the best team)

    The talk when they finally decided to play the season was who gets the last spot since Ohio St, Bama and Clemson were locks. They really haven't moved past that point so I think a one loss Bama still gets in.

    Honestly ND has really been the only team to challenge that concept. Its spectacular how that next tier of PSU/LSU/UGA/Wisky/Oregon/Auburn has fallen apart. Only UF/OU and aTm have really sort of lived up to being a top out for those teams

    I am getting really uncomfortable with the love we are getting. Herbie just said we are the most complete team in CFB, moreso than Bama....

    We are going to lose to Cuse in a snow storm.

    Rewatched the game sober as tradition. That game plan by Lea was incredible - to see that their inside guys are too slow to pick up lb blitzes (or that it’s an auto read to pull and have Th e back pick up the blitzer) and then know that your lbs are strong enough to not only take the turn out of the play but collapse the pocket. Wow. Unc has no answer since we attached the mesh which is necessary for like 90% of their plays

    I wasn’t trying to concede the ACCCG but it’s just a crazy scenario. The committee will do all they can to not make a repeat game in the first round. It would be really funny to see Florida beat Bama and then have 2 ACC and 2 SEC teams in if Clemson wins.

    If Ohio State gets left out - which is becoming a realistic possibility - there’s a very good chance the 4 seed is pretty shitty. Whether it be Northwestern, Cincy, BYU, etc.

    Go out and get the 1 seed. Pick the Rose Bowl.

    Of course we end up in the Rose this year. We decided end of last year that no matter what we would spend the money to go to LA if they got there. They are going to get there and no one is going to get to go.
