2019 NCAA Football Thread

Good to see the Tulsa coach call out his players for it...

So its the annual "how bad will Notre Dame lose this one by" day.

Bama 20 pt favorites.

I think this may be the best team ND has sent to the BCS/playoff in their time, but still going to be a huge mountain to climb to even keep it close.

[KelVarnsen]

They’ll probably lose by 31 or more

Yeah isn't that weird seeing as how ND only beat Clemson because of players being out but the media still put them in the Playoffs.

I'm an on Oklahoma fan and I'm not saying they should have been in the playoffs but the resumes of ND and Ohio State for that matter are lacking. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Alabama and Clemson are the best two teams in college football and I don't think it's close.

I do think the CFP is a sham though. It's a revenue grab and that's the only reason why schools like ND and OSU got in ahead of Cincy and A&M. Why not just reduce the regular season by 2-3 games and do an expanded playoff tournament like the March Madness tourney? 64 teams is a lot but 16 would be way more doable and it would end a lot of arguments.

Honestly as much as I love seeing the Sooners in the CFP I'm tired of them getting in and getting beat . However the Sooners are setting up to be incredibly scary next year.

Oklahoma and A&M would be infinitely better opponents for these games today than the cannon fodder trash that’s playing. I realize I’m setting myself up for a Cold takes exposed moment but I really do think both games today will be absolute laughers.

I think the would be laughers with either those 2 or the 2 that are playing today.

[Weitz]

Yeesh at least show up for the start of the game.

[chedder]

I know I'm old but is this brutal split screen gonna be the way we have to watch these games? I'm on tsn.

Just figured it out. tsn 3 has 2 camera angles plus shows the coaches and stats. Really tough to watch. But tsn 1 is normal.

Yeah I think any one playing Bama and Clemson are going to look like scrubs. It's amazing how Bama has been good for so long. Usually it goes in cycles but Alabama might take 1 year off and then go on another 8-10 year run.

It has to be coaching eh? Of course they recruit great players but is Saban's system just that much better?

If ND can play like this and get a stop on D if can be a game.

Yeah "If" on the offensive side. But I can't see them stopping Bama's offense.

This “expert”, like all rules experts, is a complete jackass.

I can’t believe the number of unmasked people with no distancing.

I can.

WTF. How do you punt that ball there Brian Kelly? You have to score on every possession just to stay in the game against this offense

Yep can’t punt at all this game.
