2024 College Football Thread: Ohio State advances to play unbeaten hypothetical SEC team (16 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Oh and Jeanty is the Heisman. No one including hunter is close imo. But Hunter going to win it somehow.

On a four loss team?

 

[Jayded]

Notre Dame now getting penalized for being mean to Army. Sack on 4th down is called roughing when nothing was wrong with it.

Comically bad officiating again this week

you guys have the Coast Guard next week?

Yup. They were scarlet and gold and call themselves Southern Cal for some reason.

Just imagine how much trash you could talk if Notre Dame didn't actually lose to Northern Illinois Univeraity.

Yeah that one is still baffling. We’d boat race them now.

But with the playoffs now as they are, at least we’re peaking at the right time. No telling which team shows up but defense looks playoff legit.

Oh and Jeanty is the Heisman. No one including hunter is close imo. But Hunter going to win it somehow.

This is a really bad take. Hunter is like 90% as good as Jeanty on offense (at least) and he's also one of the best corners in the country.

lol no. Jeanty is next level. Hunter is a cool story but what Jeanty is doing hasn’t been done since Barry.

Christ I hope not. And I’m a huge Oregon honk…but it’s Jeanty AINEC

Of course Barry Sanders played for a real team against real teams in a real conference.

That's fine. You can double down. But you look absolutely ridiculous. It's not a real conversation lol.

 

[GregR]

What in the world was that? Bama probably gonna lose anyway but that VERY late flag was REALLY sketchy

Yeahhhhhh these refs gotta get suspended for that one. Even the ref in the booth who is usually a homer for his former peers was like yea man idk

Was just looking at it.

Only thing I can think of is that the ref was noting the tight end was covered by the receiver who actually caught the ball, so would have been an ineligible receiver.

But, he didn't touch the ball, he stayed in to block. So yeah, makes no sense to me.

 

[Desert_Power]

The take industry is salivating over the amount of 3 loss SEC teams

 

[kupcho1]

Very nervous about this game with OK. Alabama is 0-2 vs human mascots this year. Great defense for OK and a very tough environment to play in.

Step up from Mercer.

 

[General Malaise]

Love to see it.

 

[Yo Mama]

Oh look. Another premature field storming

 

[Jayded]

OU fans can’t count huh?

 

[GregR]

Alabama should have called a timeout so they had to clear them off the field a second time.

 

[Yo Mama]

Love the SEC chant by the Sooners fans at the end.

 

[GregR]

That'll cost Oklahoma $100k that will be paid to Alabama, if I remember right from when South Carolina stormed the field against A&M. Edit to add: More if it wasn't a first time offense.

So your take is that if Jeanty played for OU or any other ‘name’ Power 4 team, you’d feel differently? It’s because he plays in the MWC?

I hope for your sake I’m misunderstanding because it’s the best college football player, right? Not just the Power 4 teams, right? Maybe I missed that. #shrug

My take is he'd have far fewer yards and TDs of he played for and against better teams.

The best football player is the guy who is one of the five best on one side of the ball AND one of the best on the other side of the ball.

 

[Instinctive]

Also: absolutely embarrassing to storm the field at all, much less early. OU doesn't storm the field, people who beat us storm the field. Just sad that the current students haven't experienced the level for excellence we expect.

The best football player is the guy who is one of the five best on one side of the ball AND one of the best on the other side of the ball.

Counterpoint: He played the #1 team in the country and had 177 yards, 3 TDs and a 7.7 YPC. Don't get too comfortable in your confidence you have this one correct, sir.

How many passes did he defend, snaps did he play, yards did he allow, interceptions did he make, tackles did he make, and fumbles did he force on defense too? Was it zero?

Come on this has to be a joke.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

SEC trying to help A&M here. Back to back crap calls

 

[fasteddie_21]

Fun finish with Auburn/A&M.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Are we acting like an overrated and way overhyped Colorado team is on some other level than Boise State here?

Colorado's first stop of the game today was when Kansas kneeled down, instead of going in for another TD. Not one punt.

Kansas also settled for 3 FGs inside the 5, that was a shellacking.

 

[Corporation]

BOOOOOOOOOMMMEEEEEEERRRRRRR

Congrats, better team won. May be the most underwhelming preparation I've seen by Alabama since Mike Dubose.

 

[kupcho1]

Fun finish with Auburn/A&M.

Riveting

 

[fasteddie_21]

Great play call. Kid just dropped it.

Not a good day for the SEC.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Not to mention, it’s likely, that BSU not only makes the playoffs, they get a first round bye.

 

[culdeus]

Y'all with gambling accounts what's SMU odds to win it all.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I'm sure more upsets will happen next weekend but who gets the last playoff spot as of today?

B1G: Oregon, Ohio St, Penn St, and Indiana
SEC: Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee
ACC: Champ
Big 12: Champ
Other: Notre Dame and Boise

Is #12 the Miami/SMU loser, the Clemson/South Carolina winner, or Alabama or Ole Miss as 3-loss SEC teams?

If Miami loses I think it's them so we get Cam Ward in the playoffs. If SMU loses, let the politicking begin...

 

[fasteddie_21]

It might be shaping up that the LOSER of the B10CG might have the best road in the playoffs. Crazy. Reseed each round!

Yep they have to play an extra game but they should have a much easier Quarterfinal

 

[Desert_Power]

South Carolina sneaking into the picture but probably helps out Clemson even more if they lose. Raises the stakes

Come on this has to be Joke

The joke is you making an opening statement of "He'd have fewer yards and tds if he played for and against better teams". That was your first sentence.

But against the very best team in the country he had an enormous day!

 

[Desert_Power]

The expanded playoffs are making so many of these games more important. I wonder if the ratings are following

 

[General Malaise]

Ucla cheerleaders >>>> usc

 

[Capella]

My take is he'd have far fewer yards and TDs of he played for and against better teams.

Ok but he’d also presumably have a better offensive line and qb around him too. This argument just doesn’t go one way.

 

[Major]

You'd think so. I'm definitely more intrigued and following games I'd have no interest watching in years past.

Y'all with gambling accounts what's SMU odds to win it all.

+4000 (40-1)

Ahead or tied with them:
Ohio St +250
Georgia +350
Oregon +400
Texas +450
ND +1500
Penn State +1800
Tennessee +2200
Miami +3000
Alabama +4000

Your list is exactly where I think we’re at as well. BTW usc is more dangerous than people think and I’m not sure ND could withstand a loss.

One possible place that last bid could go? TEXAM has a least a shot to beat Texas and Georgia back to back.

Your last point is why I don't think ND needs to beat USC, that head to head over A&M looms large, especially considering how strong ND has been playing. I'm sure they covet a home game though.

Yeah but I was born in the 90s.

I think it's just different. In the ten years since I graduated, I think field storming went from something you see when an FCS team beats Michigan to like 3+ times per week. Im sure it's just fun to do and that's life now.

Honestly at this point, given it isn't special, maybe I can stop hearing it be reported. It's just how we end football games now if you beat a higher ranked team.

It's odd but I would rather have SMU than Indiana

I'm excited for when they force ND into a conference, go to top four seeds are champions, and the next 8 are the division winners who lost their champ game plus the next best record in each conference.

Group of five can go so their own thing. We can stop doing the rankings and it is no longer subjective, it's just about wins and losses.

 

[lsutigers]

I'm planting my flag now - 5 SEC teams (out of 7 possible SEC/at large spots) in the 12 with 2.5 weeks left to go.

Georgia (wins out, loses in SEC championship), Texas (loses to A&M), Tenn (wins out, not in SEC champ), Alabama (wins out, beats GA in SEC champ), Ole Miss (wins out, not in SEC champ). If I have the scenarios right, ND has to lose to Army and A&M loses to Auburn. Would rather see South Carolina but hard to see how it happens with the SMU/BYU duo.

This post aging like unpasteurized milk.

Buh-bye Ole Miss. Lol

Oof, RIGHT?!?! Yikes.

I don't think USC will beat ND but unless they pummel them I think ND stays in the top 12. Will be curious Tuesday night to see if Clemson and SC are ranked ahead or below Alabama and Ole Miss. The winner of that game will get another quality win where Alabama and Ole Miss play teams with losing records this week. I think the SMU/Miami loser has the last spot as of today but if that game is a blowout, I doubt the loser keeps that spot.

I don't see A&M beating both Texas and UGA back to back. Both are beatable but I don't think A&M is that good either. They didn't look it last night in Auburn.

 

[elguapo07]

I think Mia can loss ACCCG and still get in but not so sure SMU can afford another loss. If SMU losses then there will be a debate

 

[culdeus]

I think Mia can loss ACCCG and still get in but not so sure SMU can afford another loss. If SMU losses then there will be a debate

Someone is gonna ask the question soon why do these CG when you have two candidates coming in and one going out. What other incentive is there ($)

 

[Jayded]

Alabama still has the 12th best odds to make the playoffs. I know to expect this with the SEC chest thumping, but there has to be some deserving teams in that area with a legitimate case over a 3 loss team with two losses to unranked teams.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think in this 10-12 area most years is when we see the SEC/B1G leverage come in.
