College Bowl Thread

yeah, all it took was SC to get 5 turnovers in the second half to sweat out a win. Real powerhouse team they got there. Don't know if that's a chest thumping win.

What happened to LSU and mighty Auburn?

I just laugh at your hate...I am waiting on my team to play.

That is all...
 
Hell....throw in Georgia too. They are damn lucky they aren't down by 21.

They are playing too....shaky.
I'm confident the Dawgs can comeback if they get the jitters out.

The offense needs to keep scoring.
I'll say, winner of Alabama/Clemson wins the Nat'l Championship
 
Rosebowl is fun. Two well matched teams.

Georgia's defense is out of sync.
Credit to Mayfield and Riley keeping the defense off balance.

If UGA's defense can settle in, this will be helluva ball game. Keeping my fingers crossed
 
Obviously, but it's pretty hard to ignore the love that ESPN gives that conference.

Admittedly, i watch very little ESPN these days. But whenever i watch, they generally trash the Big Ten. All their analysts said the Big Ten did not deserve a playoff team this year, doesn't seem like that much love to me.

Maybe they have softened a bit toward the big ten in the last couple years when they realized that the big ten area is where most of the population of the US lives and their alumni are spread out nation wide whereas the SEC is just regional.

Kirby needs to send more pressure packages. It's frustrating watching Baker stand there w/ 6 secs on most throwing downs...

The blitz packages have gotten to Mayfield.
He's overthrown when the heat is on. I'm baffled by the defensive play calling too. But they look so out of sync right
now. I'm hoping they make halftime adjustments

Do you not recognize how college football has essentially been rigged in the SEC's favor for over a decade? I get it, you like it because your team is the main beneficiary, able to lose games where other teams can't, but you have to see it.

There was absolutely not justification for 2 SEC playoff teams this year other than because we say so.

And yes, i think Ohio State would smoke Alabama if they played this year.

I will stop "hating" on the SEC when they stop giving them preferential treatment.
 
Eh he's another Manziel imo

I think mayfield will be much better. He is more of a pocket passer in a more pro style offense. He has amazing accuracy and a like 8 to 1 Td to Int rato.

I've noticed he doesn't run as much. He reminds of Manziel though.
But yes, definitely a better passer
 
No way 'Bama should be in the playoffs and it's really playing out by how poorly the SEC has done in their bowl games. I think the Tide's big win this year was against a 9-4 LSU team....that just isn't good enough. I hate Ohio State but they did beat a 13-1 team, an 11-2, an 11-3 team, and two10-3 teams.

They have to get the politics out of college playoffs.....5 conference champions with 3 at large team unless a team from a non Power 5 goes undefeated.

And NOW we have a game...GA w/ a quick TD!!!

Yawn...
 
Dawgs doing exactly what they had to do to start the second half. If they hold it close to the 4th quarter I like their chances.

Hopefully Clemson rolls the Tide here afterwhile so the rest of the world who are not Bama fans can watch a NC game for once.
 
Abridged version:

First they left out Baylor, a team that defeated two top ten teams, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Baylor fan.

Then they left out TCU, a team that only lost to top five Baylor by 3 points in an away game, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a TCU fan.

Then they left out Penn State, Big 10 champions who defeated OSU, and I did not speak out—
Because I was a not a Penn State fan.

Then they left out Ohio State, and there was no one left who understood my reasoning why Ohio State should be included yet again.
 
The run defense in this Georgia vs Oklahoma isn't much. These guys are just chewing it up. Good game. I'm pulling hard for Georgia.
