OT: NCAA thread v4.0

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I bet Rodrigo calls him "Squeaky Fromm"

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

With a lot of help from the zebras

I honestly didn’t watch much of it. I just flicked on to the end with Notre Dame’s last drive.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Complete coverage bust. Brutal.

Love the Play Action Leak call though.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Florida essentially abandoned the run before the game even started.

13 carries & that’s with some sacks in there.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The umpire standing RIGHT THERE didn't call it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Dan Mullen just blew a gasket on his assistant.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I was just expecting the Florida receiver to get lit up there.

 

[Beef Invictus]

@Beef Invictus

Booòoooo.

Par for the course for about 3 decades

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Like it’s obviously not ideal but Danielson blew that delay of game penalty out of proportion.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Why the hell was that last play run? What are we doing here?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

So Georgia should be the SEC Championship Game against the winner of LSU/Alabama game.

 

[Halladay]

Great win for the Dawgs. Utah is dominating Washington this half.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not really a fan that the SEC & Big Ten both have scenarios alive that a team that doesn’t even play in their conference championship game could back door their way into the playoffs.

The problem is that I don't know how you get around this unless you want to be a huge Oregon advocate or something. SMU isn't in that tier.

The committee had better hope Auburn doesn't run the table or all hell is going to break loose.

There was a roughing the passer call that was complete and utter bullshit which negated a VT interception, it went severely downhill from there

If everyone does what they're supposed to do, I wouldn't worry about it. Is anyone going to argue LSU/Bama or Ohio State/Penn State getting in with one loss if they continuing dominating everyone they play, other than another playoff team? I think it honestly comes down to the margin of victory in those games.

Also, Georgia shouldn't have been in a 4th quarter game today. Landers sucking and Fromm missing Cager in the back of the end zone is the only thing that made this a 4th quarter game. That and a weak ass holding call on the long Swift TD run.

Yeah like I’m not a conference championship game matters guy in the sense that it gets you some additional points on top of the actual game depending on the quality of the two teams playing it.

I just don’t like when a scenario comes about where a team is just better off not even playing in it & assuming the risk of a loss.

I even say that as a fan of a team that could be potentially a benefactor of that this year.

Same on the benefiting and still completely agree.

It just feels like it's not going to change. It basically comes down to whether or not two of Clemson/Oklahoma/USC/Oregon/ND can make themselves relevant enough to get Byes. This is where we really miss the programs like TCU, Texas, and Texas Tech. Hopefully Baylor can fill one of those voids soon.

Otherwise the playoff teams are coming from those two Conferences and it's always going to be a mess.

The Taggart situation should be interesting. It was already a low bar but getting beat handily by a rival who’s also not even really good either is going to get more emotions going.

He’s got a huge buyout though & then add on whatever the other coach you would be bringing in buyout & it’s probably a pretty costly endeavor. Every fanbase is guilty of thinking their school is 100% willing to wipe their ass with large lump sum payments.

They essentially have no fan support at this point & their home games are pretty empty these days though.

So they’re really in between a rock & a hard place right now. They’re probably biting a bullet either way.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m going to die if USC just wrecks the Pac-12 & then fires Helton.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Ducks 42, Lynn Swann 17. HA HA HA, B***H!

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

If you don’t like any defense this Memphis/SMU game is right up your alley. They’re basically trading explosive play TD’s right now.

Do you like Trent Klatt? He has kind of grown on me. His partner is a massive goof, though.

Joel Klatt? He’s good other than being a major Harbaugh/Michigan slappy.
