Jedd Fish to Florida after this game?

 

[Capella]

Is Underwood any good? Seems like just a guy.

Everything he throws is 800 mph

And off target

That combo seems bad

ACC 2-0 vs the SEC today? Thought the ACC sucked?

Don’t forget like the 15th place ACC team whooped Bama. We want Bama but not Stanford.

There are crappy teams in every conference. Even the SEC.

No such thing. The SEC doesn't allow crappy teams into football heaven.

Utah fraud, getting embarrassed by a pathetic Kansas team. Exactly why SEC deserves a bunch of teams in the playoffs. Big 12, acc suck.

Utah won by 10 on the road. This is a ridiculous take. Texas Tech, Utah and BYU do not suck. None of them lost to 3-loss Texas.

Utah hasn't beaten anyone and BYU has only beaten Utah. Neither played anyone good out of conference.

4-5 on the season with FSU vs Florida still to go

I do lol. Actually I think they are loaded with teams ranked about 20-35 and Miami is somewhere around 10-15. But they have no great teams.

Beat someone good? BYU might be top 8 or might be about #20. Utah might be top 10 or might be about #25. We don't really know because neither has beaten anyone except 7 win Big 12 teams. Miami, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama all have better wins.

Aren't we a little old to realize life isn't fair?
Texas Tech and BYU will likely make the playoffs. Utah likely will not.

Bama lost to Florida State. Texas lost to Florida. Miami lost to SMU. Let's not forget the bad bad losses in all this.

The only game that matters right now is Wisconsin-Minnesota.

That's real Big Ten football, in front of real Big Ten fans, in real Big Ten weather.

So you're saying Texas should have scheduled UTEP instead of Ohio State so they could be 10-2 and then they would be ranked higher? I thought this playoff stuff was supposed to end the "better record is the better team" nonsense and encourage those non-conference games?

Are you sure BYU is likely to make the playoffs?

ACC Champ
G5
Texas Tech
Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon
Georgia, Ole Miss, and A&M feel like locks.

Alabama likely a lock if they beat Auburn and same for Oklahoma if they beat LSU today. That leaves one spot for ND, Miami, BYU, Texas and Vanderbilt (if they beat Tennessee).

No. No great teams, but what we're seeing is how a conference builds. It would be a different story of the "blue bloods" were pulling their weight

And the committee better take an official stance on out of conference games and value them more or we are going to get 3 crap games then conference games.

Got a good game brewing in Neyland at the half. All a fan could ask for.

Yes, I think one loss BYU is likely in.

I'm not here to argue about Texas. Looking a win-loss records is dumb IMO. Texas has some great wins, scheduled the best team you can out of conference, and played a tough conference schedule. Check out A&M's resume for comparison. 7 SEC wins in the bottom 8 teams and did not beat a single top 8 SEC team but are hanging their hat on a ND win. I would select Texas over Texas A&M with their resumes every single time.

With BYU who is out to put them in? Oklahoma or Alabama has to lose or they have to jump one of those teams or Notre Dame without Miami or Texas jumping them.

LSU is about to do everyone a favor and knock OU out. I’m not even sure OU should be in with a close win. The offense is very bad.

I think if BYU beats Texas Tech both teams are in. If BYU gets soundly beat again, then keep them out.

I don't think a 3 loss team belongs at all. I fully understand not all conferences are equal. I don't know how to fix that. But I don’t think Texas belongs in the conversation for playoff teams.

Amazing catch in the Oregon game.

 

[culdeus]

Texas and TAMU both should get in over Tulane. That there is no backstop for that is silly.

Or not.

I think if the ball did move when it smack the ground they would have counted it

It was so close - I wanted them to give it to him but I can see why they went no catch. So close to an all timer

These announcers are tough to listen to. I can normally ignore them. But these guys are special dumb.

"The pocket just collapsed preventing him from being able to step up in the pocket" as we watch the replay real time with NO ONE in the frame other than the QB stepping up and just making a crappy throw.

I agree 3 loss teams don’t belong unless that 3rd loss is in a championship game. If Bama wins tonight and loses to UGA I think they should be in.
