Ahh right right, forgot about that one from early in the season, feels forever ago.

I kinda agree that despite the fact things are lining up to probably knock the Irish out of the playoff race, I still need to see it to believe it. Just a feeling they'll get in there, especially after 10 straight Ws. We shall see..

BYU loss should do it to keep ND in. BYU and Miami out. Virginia and Tulane/JMU in.

Indiana/ohio state is meaningless unless one of them loses by 50. Same with Bama and Georgia imo.

There’s been some talk Bama could be out with a loss but that would be absolutely idiotic after declaring Bama beating auburn such a determining factor in the rankings. Only way they’re out is if they lose by 3 TDs or more.

Oregon, Ole Miss, A&M and OU are locks no matter what happens with all of them being idle.

Texas and Miami need miracles.

[Sainters7]

Feels like Texas Tech could easily be up 21-7 here, drives falling apart in the red zone.

And cool seeing Tulane get in last night. Kinda wild a team who lost by 3 TDs to UTSA just a few weeks ago, is now dancing.

Is it March already?

[Sainters7]

Its a newer expanded playoffs, just embrace it haha. Give it a decade and they'll prob try to expand it to 64 teams anyway

[Senator Clay Davis]

Both these teams stink of ass, no way they should both be in, winner only.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Like how bad is BYU's backup QB that they'd rather play their crippled starter?

[Senator Clay Davis]

It'll never happen of course, but if Alabama does lose by 3+ TDs they should be left out. Pretty dire performance so far.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Oof. Miami cheering for UGA hard. This gets to 28 or 35 to nothing Bama could drop.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Imagine the fate of the last team in the playoff comes down to can Alabama put up a garbage time touchdown for a more respectable loss.

[Weitz]

This Indiana Ohio State game is entertaining. Defences playing lights out!


I’d pull Alabama out. If anything they aren’t going to get better so why let them play again after getting blown out?

[Weitz]

Missed a 27 yarder to tie. Unbelievable.

[Flabbibulin]

Wow. Was expecting a blowout. Love it

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Mendoza is a lunatic.

[Weitz]

Walk off interception win for Duke!!

JMU to the CFP most likely now.

[Sainters7]

[Weitz]

It probably ira right.

But I’d leave out Alabama. They aren’t competitive so what’s the point to letting them in? Let someone else give it a try.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Notre Dame out, Alabama doesn't even drop a spot lol. These first round matchups look even worse than last year, which was four terrible games in the end. Cannot imagine how grim it's gonna be when we get to 24 and eventually 32 teams.
