I’m not sure it is possible now. It would have to be an absolute beat down and I’m not sure that would be enough. Maybe a repeat of their 59-0 win a few years ago might do it.

I hope this ACC game keeps going this way. I want to see a 50-49 game.

Well. Wisconsin choose to receive and run the ball down OSUs throat. 7-0.

The Wisconsin guy spying the fake didn’t even react. He just stood there until it was too late.

If Ohio State gets hammered here LSU might get them all in the semis.

Well this is interesting. Didn’t see Wisconsin making a game of it but here we are. Still a lot of football left though.

Committee got it right IMHO. Should be two good games. I’m admittedly biased towards OU but I think they match up better against LSU than OSU, that game might be closer than first glance might think. Clemson/OSO should be fantastic.

Early lines were LSU -10 and Clemson -1.

They are currently LSU -12.5 and Clemson -2.5

It’s a foregone conclusion this year but it would have been great to see Chuba Hubbard in the list of finalists.

And Burrow wins the Heisman in what was likely a landslide.

I just really like Navy's triple option offense, when that offense runs well its tough to defend.

There are landslides and then there is this...

Burrow finished with the largest margin of victory in Heisman history, as 1,846 points separated him from second-place Hurts. He also received a record 90.7% of all the first-place votes available and was named on 95.5% of ballots, another record.
How 4.5% of voters left him off the ballot completely is the mystery here.

Gary Danielson at one point in the second half said Navy had run something like 34 plays. 33 had been runs and all but one involved either the QB or halfback.

I know bowl selection is complicated but there’s some awful, awful matchups this year. #15 ND at 10-2 is playing unranked 7-5 Iowa St. #11 Utah playing unranked Texas. #21 Cincy playing 6-6 BC. #9 Florida playing #24 Virginia.

Utah was in contention for the playoff and now they get a crappy Texas team in a bowl that’s more meaningless than they usually are. At least if they got to play Florida or ND there might be something to play for.

ND is once again over ranked and ISU is a pretty good football team even if their record doesn't reflect it. There is a reason its only a 3.5 pt spread.

As for Utah drawing Texas, they needed eyeballs for that one on New Years Eve and the Longhorns bring that in spades.

Florida though looks like they will curb stomp the Cavaliers (a team that lost to Miami who just got shut out by Louisiana Tech) but Bryce Perkins is worth watching.
