Selection Sunday In-Game Thread

[Frank Costanza]

I have a weird feeling, even with Howard, that ohio is going to play in the championship.

 

[gps_3]

The TE / WRs have had really good hands this season, before yesterday.

No argument on the QB.

I should have clarified that I think Texas has a QB issue, and the pass catcher issues are for UGA.

As an aside, where has Isaiah Bond been? I haven't watched many Texas games, but the ones I have, I don't really remember him doing anything. Would suck for him to throw away immortality in Alabama for a quick payday and a worse draft position

 

[Frank Costanza]

He got hurt against OU (ankle) and has struggled since. Re-injured yesterday, got rolled up in a nasty fashion. Was very good this season before the injury.

 

[CPA-hole]

Louis Riddick asked do you trust Riley Leonard over Ewers and Allar? Uh. Yes, I do.

 

[CPA-hole]

I know they do it for sponsors and TV programming. But having the committee do a rankings show starting every week in November really is stupid. They end up backing themselves into a corner when it matters most.

 

[CPA-hole]

Do it today. One time. That's all you need.

Those are actually all entertaining games and extremely regional

 

[cubsker]

Let’s just let Vegas determine the rankings

What would SMU vs Alabama be? Alabama vs Miami? Miami vs SMU?

It’s the most objective process in a very subjective process.

The games don't even matter if you do it this way

 

[pressitup]

Why is this thing 4 hrs long?

 

[cubsker]

Louis Riddick asked do you trust Riley Leonard over Ewers and Allar? Uh. Yes, I do.

Allar missed so many wide open guys yesterday.

Screw it, SMU lost to a 3 loss team in their conference championship, and their conference happens to be very weak - like mid-major weak. I’m not putting them in.

They had their chance.

 

[KJ]

Why is this thing 4 hrs long?

I just noticed this. These pricks already had it done by 8pm last night

I'm ok if Northern Illinois gets in

 

[Frank Costanza]

Saban looks thrilled to be on the show.

 

[gps_3]

Brett McMurphy reporting that SMU is in

 

[Frank Costanza]

Brett McMurphy reporting that SMU is in

Yeah, saw that.

 

[Frank Costanza]

What are contractual tie-ins to conference championship games? They'll go away, just not sure how soon that will be.

 

[cubsker]

They had their chance.

Bama lost by 3 TDs against a bad Oklahoma team. They had their shot.

Old Piss lost at home to a Kentucky team that went 1-7 in the conference. They had their shot.

South Carolina lost by 24 at home to that same Old Miss team. They had their shot.

You can slam any team in this thing other than oregon.

 

[gps_3]

SEC and B1G will demand changes is my guess. It’s the SEC this year, could just as easily be the B1G next year getting a fringe team left out

Agreed, but solely from a “what have they done/who have they beat” perspective when compared to others, the answer for SMU is nothing/nobody.

I assume he just woke up and is in boxers

 

[KJ]

SMU beating Pitt was possibly the game of the year on that particular day, so that's pretty significant

 

[KJ]

At least ESPN has sent hot women to every campus in peril outside of SMU

 

[survive&advance]

I have a weird feeling, even with Howard, that ohio is going to play in the championship.

here's the thing, a majority of the QBs in the playoff are mediocre

 

[KJ]

here's the thing, a majority of the QBs in the playoff are mediocre

That's being pretty kind

 

[cubsker]

Agreed, but solely from a “what have they done/who have they beat” perspective when compared to others, the answer for SMU is nothing/nobody.

Pretty comparable to Indiana (beat a few teams that are prob between 25 and 50), but Indiana didn't have to play a conference champ game.

 

[KJ]

Swear if there is ever a reason to go to Tucson this is it

[KJ]

QFs are in Pasadena, Phx, Dallas and NO

Semis are Atlanta and Miami

Championship game is in Atlanta

There's a lot to digest there

 

[Brewers888]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think the subjectivity is a large part of what makes college football unique and interesting and great. If there were nothing but autobids, we'd all be talking about our fantasy football lineups and some of the good bball on today. But instead, we have dozens of fanbases glued to their phone/computer/TV. And outside of the fanbases involved, nobody really feels that strongly one way or the other, but we all pretend like we do. Millions will say in about an hour they won't even watch the games, but they of course will

Anyone on this board that says they won't watch the games is lying as they place a bet on Russian ping pong.

 

[KJ]

Holy shit that wasn't expected

 

[KJ]

ND bumped out of the 5 seed is shocking to me

 

[emg2525]

Pretty comparable to Indiana (beat a few teams that are prob between 25 and 50), but Indiana didn't have to play a conference champ game.

Very comparable to Indiana. But Indiana in a much stronger conference.

 

[KJ]

7 ND and 8 Ohio?

Wow

 

[gps_3]

Committee telling us it’s better to lose to good teams as long as you beat bad ones

 

[Brewers888]

Louis Riddick asked do you trust Riley Leonard over Ewers and Allar? Uh. Yes, I do.

I must be watching something else because I think Allar is closer to Christian Hackenburg than being good.

 

[cubsker]

The ponies!

 

[Brewers888]

SMU being in over Alabama is a joke.

 

[cubsker]

Very comparable to Indiana. But Indiana in a much stronger conference.

But indiana didn't play any of the strong teams other than the one that boatraced em.

 

[CPA-hole]

We all thought 5 was the spot to be. Looks like 6 to me. Luck box Penn St

 

[cubsker]

Committee telling us it’s better to lose to good teams as long as you beat bad ones

Committee saying we can't stick it to the ACC two years in a row

 

[carolinablue]

 

[carolinablue]

Texas opens at -11.5
Ohio State has dropped from -7.5 to -6.5

 

[gps_3]

Committee saying we can't stick it to the ACC two years in a row

I was commenting on Texas and Penn St’s position. Their resumes hinge on good losses more than anything else

 

[gps_3]

Not even showing a live reaction from SMU shows you where they fall in the grand scheme of things lol

 

[Rjdbruin]

They got it right

 

[CPA-hole]

All the Champ games spreads were 5.5 or less. These are all gonna be 6 or more? And yes home fields. I get it.

 

[CPA-hole]

They weren't having a watch party, no?

 

[gps_3]

Not even close. Oregon as the 1 seed got screwed. Penn St and Texas rewarded for beating nobody. This bracket is a joke
