NCAA: 2018 College Football Playoff/New Year's Six Discussion

[CupofOil]

True, I'm probably putting too much weight on them almost losing at home to Syracuse.

They were in a bit of turmoil that week with the Bryant transfer and Lawrence injury. Once they got past that, they smashed everybody and just plain passed the eye test as a top 2 team.

In any event, this game is an obvious mismatch to no surprise so time to get ready for Alabama-Clemson Part 4.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Great catch.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I think he had it, but it's close.

 

[HoseEmDown]

UCF would get smashed by Notre Dame too.

UCF would've beat Notre Dame by more than the 27 Clemson just did. Notre Dame is garbage. The only two teams that would challenge UCF are Clemson and Bama.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Oklahoma brought the house on that 3rd down. Probably should have dropped 8.

Yup so much for Oklahoma competing. Although they did get shafted on both reviews. Oklahoma is the team that should have lost their spot to UCF though, they're pretty lucky they even got let in.

 

[GKJ]

Always pick up the ball

I think either Ohio State or Georgia would have gotten in if they left out Oklahoma. UCF honestly needed Milton to not get hurt, and they needed to run up the score during the regular season.

Another OU punt coming up...

 

[rangerssharks414]

Wow.

This is a joke, right?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Oklahoma DB's are in position but can't find the ball. That's what is killing them.

The committee has pretty much declared the playoff is P5 only. UCF really never had any way in.

 

[GKJ]

OU better have their best plays on this drive

Yeah, I know.

Gotta go for it

UCF wants a seat at the table but isn't willing to put in the work. Boise State and TCU are the blueprints. They shouldn't have rejected that deal from Florida.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Down 21-0 and talking trash, maybe focus that energy on trying to tackle someone.

How does Bama look awful against a terrible Georgia QB and offense yet OU can’t even score on them? They also looked bad the game before Georgia. Though they won they allowed 24 points. I had a funny feeling they’d lose tonight. Guess I was wrong

Nick Saban has a month to prepare and #13 is healthy. Tua was playing on one leg the last 5 games before the break.

 

[rangerssharks414]

This is sad.

 

[GKJ]

This got ugly in a hurry. Alabama seems to be more concerned with getting Hurts on the field no less

 

[mouser]

Someone remind me why it was important to expand the playoff field from 2 to 4 teams?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

These games are going to kill the chances of the next time the Irish or any BigXII is in the running for the playoffs.

Where did that get Boise? They do put in the work, they play two P5 teams every year, are they supposed to play 4 and all on the road to impress you? Do you even know what Florida was offering? It wasn't just a 2-1, it was a 1 at the Citrus bowl and not on campus and the money they were offering for the 2 was peanuts. UCF still needs to make money, they don't get 30mil from a TV deal like the SEC, so they schedule a FCS school who they don't have to pay a lot for a home game which generates good revenue.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Enos has it clicking. All Alabama tonight.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Oh, come on.

Challenge UCF? Really? UCF '18 isn't any kind of a favorite there; the Knights would be a very comfortable double-digit dog and they're probably on the order of -30 against Alabama. [Yes, seriously.]
