Official 2022 college football thread: its conference realignment season. (2 Viewers)

Two obvious missed holds and the WR was covered on the line of scrimmage on that TD play and should have been a penalty.

Going to be a long night if these refs don’t wake up.

There's a makeup PI no call for ya jayded
Wouldn’t be PI with him looking for it. This one’s a fumble SC recovered though. Rees starting stupidly cute is going to cost ND.

Uhh he wasn’t down before he fumbled though, so they did blow that part of the call.

Refs missed a fumble there. Ridiculous what they’re calling and not calling this far.

Still waiting on that flag there refs. Holding him down the field and PI and still caught that TD.

ND has to start running effectively though. If this becomes a passing game, they’re hosed.

Two bad spots in a row. That was at least a half yard short on 3rd. Complete BS.

Holding is at a ridiculous rate. They aren’t calling anything tonight. ND better start doing it and getting away with it or they have no shot. It’s really obvious and they aren’t calling any of it.

I suggest some tequila at half time to take the edge off.
Sorry. Don’t mean to be that guy.

No worries man! Please don’t let me shame you into not complaining where warranted. It’s a great rivalry with a lot on the line.

I don’t think you have to worry about this.
 
I think Deion will get better offers than CU. I wonder how long he holds on at Jackson State. With the transfer portal it makes you wonder what kids like his son or Travis Hunter might do in response.
 
Well that’s ballgame. Williams is special, but man oh man ND has to get better LB play and we need a QB transfer out of the portal badly. Going head to head at QB we will lose most matchups and especially this one. Kudos to Riley as he’s whipping Golden and Rees thus far.
 
If they win out, isn't USC the 4th seed? I bet they make that jump with a win over Notre Dame this week.

This is what I'm thinking too
If current leads hold, I’d have it:

Georgia
Michigan
TCU
USC

With OSU 5th, then Bama and Clemson, I guess. Any of the top 4 losing conference title game makes things crazy

I think the top 3 are probably in even with a loss in their respective championship game.
 
Thank goodness Bama lost 2 games. Doesn't belong in playoffs. 5 or 6 tops please. USC getting the job done to keep the embarrasment out.
 
ND is pretty soft on defense. Surprising with a defensive coach
Almost word for word how the ND boards sound. Golden is only not getting as much grief because of how despised Rees is.

The maddening thing is we have two top LB recruits (Kollie, Sneed) sitting on the bench. They might actually make a play whereas Kiser, Liufau, and Bertrand continue to play out of position and miss tackles.

UGA, Michigan, and TCU are safe even with a loss next weekend. USC can win the fourth spot. Ohio State backs into it if USC loses. I don't think Bama or Clemson have a shot
 
I know this sounds crazy after that beating today, but how does Ohio State not earn the last spot? Assume UGA beats LSU (likely). Michigan wins Big 10 Championship (likely). TCU wins Big 12 (likely). USC loses one of its last two (50/50). Who gets the last spot? A one loss Ohio State team or one of the following two loss teams: Bama, USC, or Oregon? Am I missing a team?
1. UGA
2. Mich
3. TCU
4. Ohio State/USC/Bama/Oregon
I would LOVE to see Ohio State play Georgia. LOVE!!!

Would be a good matchup but dang Michigan has dominated the Bucks the last 2 years physically, Georgia would be worse.

Looks like the tide has turned Michigan's way in the BIG. Yes. I bet OSU.

Buckeyes are soft and conservative. Georgia is probably going to destroy whoever they play, but that'd be an embarrassment I'd love to see.

(Probably) agreed, not sold TCU can afford a loss unless USC also loses, but it's a five horse race. Next weekend is just all about avoiding UGA round 1.
 
Man ND is going to miss Michael Mayer. Really curious where he lands as a pro. He can block and catch so he could be an outstanding weapon for a team who will use him.

This is where I'm leaning as well. OSU needs USC to lose next week. I think USC plays Utah next week if Washington wins tonight or Oregon if Washington loses tonight. If USC wins out, they're #4.
 
SC might be the one playoff team that could stick with Georgia. I think every team wants TCU, but they are so Jekyll/Hyde you might run into their best effort.

Williams won the Heisman today. Getting annoying when a great SC player is up for it that ND seems to held solidify the candidacy each time.

Just bought my tickets for the PAC-12 championship. I’d be rooting for Washington State tonight if GM had committed to coming out to Vegas with the Ducks. But since he passed, I’m hoping it’s Utah. That game was absolutely epic earlier this season and I’d love to see them match up again in the championship.

Not sure how I feel about this comment. OSU has way more talent, but they really are soft.

They have way more talent but have been destroyed 2 years in a row now by Michigan. Why?
A conservative approach that's reliant on superior talent to eventually result in a dub. The better the competition the lesser the margin for error. Michigan was out played in the first half, but superior coaching kept them in the game then when adversity hit the buckeyes cracked.

Agreed that Williams locked up the Heisman tonite. He's fun to watch
 
For those saying USC is in with a win over Utah (or possibly Oregon), I’m not so sure. The committee had a two loss LSU ranked ahead of USC this week primarily because of USC’s defense. The defense performed better, but good enough that they should end up ahead of a one-loss OSU with its only loss against the (most likely) undefeated Big 10 champion?

Without question or they are hypocrites. They always bemoan conference championship as a factor and one team would have a title vs another team who didn’t even play in the game.

I think it’d only be a debate if USC won the PAC 12 while tOSU’s only loss had come in the Big Ten title game. Since that isn’t the scenario, USC clearly has the argument over tOSU with a title next week IMO.

This is what I was saying last week, but now I’m on board with USC being number 4 if they win the PAC 12. However, if USC loses, like it or not, it has to be Ohio State at 4. There are no other options unless they’re going to throw Bama in again. I do think Bama has a way better shot to beat UGA than Ohio State would, but I don’t think their accomplishments this season should put them in over Ohio State. Ohio State lost one game to a really good team. All their other games haven’t really been that close.

They should have lost to Maryland.
Maryland, PSU, ND, and a crazy weather game against NW were all competitive even if the final doesn’t reflect that. Either way, we’re running out of teams to put in the playoffs. If TCU and or USC lose, I think there are only two legitimate teams that can be in. Ohio State and Alabama. Like I’ve been saying all along, Ohio State’s only loss comes at the hands of the number two team in the nation. Like it or not, they have the best argument imo.

Oh, I don't disagree that they'd have an argument. Just saying that they have had games that have been close when it was stated otherwise.

Personally, I'd put UGA, UM, and TCU (though it's obvious the committee despises the Frogs) in even if they each lose next week. And I'd lean OSU if USC loses.

The committee will twist itself into whatever pretzel they can to justify who they want.

Seems like Michigan is by far the hungrier team.
My opinion is because of the bold.....and I also can't say enough about what a phenomenal coach Jesse Minter is. The adjustments he makes on defense at halftime are top notch.

Then again, TOSU’s defense has given up - I believe - over 300 yards passing per game against its last few opponents and a total of 8 passing TDs. TOSU deserves attention for its offense …it did put up almost 500 yards against the strong Michigan D.

I agree that TOSU is the appropriate #5 at this point. I’m hoping we end up with Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC.

Harbaugh definitely has that Bo Schembechler edge that is carried out on the field. Personally I can’t stand him, but you can’t argue with what he’s done to OSU at he last two years. The Buckeyes look very soft, especially on D. The pressure will be turned up on Day next season.

Yes, this is my concern. Amd they may prefer to have OSU in over USC, particularly if they believe that OSU is the better team.

The second half, they scored 3 points on 200 yards of offense. What is more shocking - OSU getting 500 yards on Mich or Mich getting 500 yards with Corum out?

I can’t make a case for OSU if USC revenges a 1-point loss to Utah. They better hope TCU loses. I don’t want to hear about the USC D after watching the Buckeyes D this season. USC also has the probable Heisman winner. How does that match up against Mich or Georgia? Who knows, but they deserve to be there.

What is shocking is that Stroud was never touched until late in the game and OSU did not score more.

I never felt comfortable until Stroud made that boneheaded underhand INT. OSU just eats ups yardage too fast to relax even with a 15 point lead.

I think the committee will happily dump TCU with a loss, especially if USC wins on Friday. They’ll put OSU and USC ahead if all 3 have 1 loss.
 
Love TCU. But when your best win is Kansas state to this point and again it's a must win. TCU at one loss is going cotton or whatever it would be called.

It ended up working out for OSU, but why are they punting on 4rh and 3 with a heisman candidate qb?

i think they were down 8 at the time right? If they did not make it Michigan would have been already in FG range to make it a 2 score game. At mid field go, but at your own 30 it was a tough call to go.

Death, taxes, and Ryan Day punting on 4th & short.

Pillow soft.
 
Beamer Ball Baby!!!
Is Clemson pulling Clemsons again or did SC just take it to them?

WIth the OSU/Mich game on at the same time, this game may have gotten a little lost in the mix (for good reasons as the Mich game was phenomenal). But it was a great game.

Carolina out played and thoroughly out coached Clemson. Beamer ball indeed was a huge factor (perfect 4th down call in a crucial moment) and the other sideline kept trying to get cute and botched execution.

Carolina's special teams were perfect. The punter may have been the MVP. The key to this game for Clemson was to run the ball and get to Rattler. The former was going well but that dreadful Clemson OC can't help but want to pass with an extremely limited QB in DJ. He simply isn't that good. Clemson did get a safety on Rattler but only sacked him once.

And Rattler was stellar when he had time. He was accurate and hit the deep ball, something DJ U has no idea how to do. Carolina's keys were to slow the run and force DJ to beat them through the air. Check and check. Rattler did make a couple of bad mistakes, but he won the day.

Clemson had some awful and untimely turnovers too. They were in position to get into FG range and win after forcing a punt but the returner got near the 50 and fumbled. Game over. I don't think DJ would have gotten the 15-20 yards needed to set up the FG. He was that bad in the 2nd half.

I am extremely happy for Beamer and it's obvious the guys love playing for him. There is a lot to be excited about in Columbia next year and going forward.
