2024 College Football Thread: Ohio State advances to play unbeaten hypothetical SEC team (4 Viewers)

[need2know]

Smu is so bad

And yet the SEC haters will cry when SMU lands below Bama in the final rankings

Alabama doesn't exactly deserve a playoff spot. I don't think SMU should be penalized for tonight while Alabama sits home because they weren't good enough to get into their championship game.

Thankfully most dont think the same

 

[fasteddie_21]

That was a MASSIVE stop. Momentum swing?

 

[Insein]

Boys will be boys my ***. Took the QB to the ground 3 seconds after the whistle.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Just can’t believe that Penn state is choking. So unlike them

 

[Penguin]

5:33 drive with a shank

Is it (playoff selection) about the most deserving teams or the best teams?

Not sure Alabama is either. I think Ole Miss and South Carolina are better than them.

 

[BlackCrowes]

If the refs aren’t careful they’ll call a penalty against Oregon

Whatever the committee decides it is this year.

Haha true. I just mean if you have an opinion you should be able to explain why. Too much of having it both ways all year IMO.

If they are going to rank Alabama ahead of SMU talking about who they beat, then shouldn't Arizona St and Clemson both be ranked ahead of Boise?

 

[fasteddie_21]

Tez = Good

 

[Insein]

Sigh

 

[belljr]

The boat has left the dock

 

[fasteddie_21]

Be fair here...They're taking Oregon, the undisputed #1 team in the country, to the limit here. No choking. Hell, I'm impressed with their inventive play calls.

 

[Insein]

And that is Drew Allar in a nutshell.

 

[fasteddie_21]

PSU giving the defense a break by not continuing to run the ball. Another big stop there. A TD here and that could spell trouble for them....

 

[Insein]

Against 12-0 undisputed #1 team? I'm amazed we're in this game.

 

[fasteddie_21]

And that is Drew Allar in a nutshell.

Yeah his footwork wasn't great there. On Gabriel's bad quick screen throws that he's missed, it's the same issue. So I feel that on those screens.

 

[irish eyes]

And that is Drew Allar in a nutshell.

He's awful

 

[fasteddie_21]

I hate the last 3 play calls.

 

[fasteddie_21]

The lack of contain is frustrating.

 

[Insein]

Kay Tron Allen!

Give that man some oxygen

Whatever gets more sec teams in

 

[fasteddie_21]

Honestly, the defense for Oregon hasn't shown up tonight. It's been absolute silence from all the regulars who have shown up all year. Surprising.

 

[Insein]

Kaytron deserved that TD. Great drive

 

[culdeus]

[fasteddie_21]

Well that was a gift. Thank you!

 

[irish eyes]

Great play call Penn State. Gotta love analytics. Dummies

Yes. That's my biggest complaint. They're fairly inconsistent on the whole.

I'll think it's awesome if Boise actually wins some games here. But for now...idk they don't look that good to me and they lost to the only team they played that was really good.

 

[Insein]

Why 2

Analytics.

I get it with 6 mins left. Not 14

 

[Jayded]

So incredibly dumb by Franklin

 

[BlackCrowes]

Why 2

We’re analyticalizing things

 

[TLEF316]

Lol...how many officials are on the field? And nobody sees that face mask. Insanity

 

[Insein]

Oh my God! So close.

 

[Instinctive]

Why 2

Because it's a higher chance of winning.

You can generally expect to get at least one out of every two 2-point conversions.

Down 14, that means if you get the first one, you can then win the game with another TD. And if you don't get it, you still have a decent chance to tie it.

It means you'll lose more in regulation, and win even more in regulation. It means you'll have less fake hope in OT, which is a 50/50 proposition.

Going for 2 down 8 points: Packers pull off come-from-behind win thanks to this strategy

The Packers profited from being the first team this season to try this unconventional 2-point conversion attempt. Here's why others should follow their lead.

Cool. So it doesn't take into account that in 2024 the 2pt percentage is at 32.7 %. It's not 50/50 it's 1/3. So that 4% better chance to win simply isn't true

And I think is dumb

 

[Insein]

Thank you. Geez

 

[culdeus]

Lol. Iowa State hasnt won a conference title since Arizona was made a state.

 

[Insein]

ok

 

[fasteddie_21]

That was a big'un.

At a 40% conversion rate, it was still better to go for 2. At 33% (which surprises me that it has been that low in 2023 and 2024 in the nfl), its probably pretty close to even.

 

[Jayded]

Lanning not going for 2? Huh…like it’s the smart move or something.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Seems SMU is making it a tight game?

Wow really, I like the part where you say they have a DECENT chance to tie. And everything after that makes zero sense.

 

[fasteddie_21]

This is the absolute worst the the secondary has looked all year. Oof.


And oh man, PSU got shafted there too. Oof.

 

[Major]

Seems SMU is making it a tight game?

Yep, keeping it respectable. I think they'll get in even with a loss (assuming it remains close).

 

[fasteddie_21]

Almost kinda glad PSU got a first down there. That was a bad call against them.
