Palmetto Bowl
Absolutely wild game, Go Cocks!
So, playoffs now...right?
Yeah what is the pathway?
Seems tough.
Beating Clemson is as good a reason as any to give South Carolina a higher vote over the other 3-loss SEC teams (and I think they've looked better anyway). Miami deserves to drop below, also.
So maybe SMU wins next week and is the sole ACC team in, Boise State wins and is the G5 team.
Maybe that's enough to bring South Carolina from its current 15 to 11 after Boise State, leapfrogging Miami, Clemson, Alabama, and Ole Miss.
The big question is what happens to the SEC and Big 10 championship game losers. Does a 10-3 Georgia get in over the 9-3 SEC teams? What about an 11-2 Texas who has only lost to Georgia, but twice? If Penn State gets demolished by Oregon, what does that mean for them and the rest of the Big 10 contenders?
There's still room for chaos, as shifting narratives retroactively change how we (and more importantly, the CFP committee) view strength of schedule and strength of record.
The Game
Go Blue, but if (when) this starts getting lopsided I can't imagine I will be watching this one for long
Ryan Day and poor game management in the final minutes, name a better duo
Did Ryan Day just lose his job?
Somehow buckeye fans want that. I know many and they seem united on that.
Delicious
Well it's almost halftime and I'm still watching. It's almost like an OSU is trying to let Michigan win. Kind of weird after Ryan Day said earlier this week that losing this game 3 straight was equivalent to a death in the family...
Will Howard is a turnover machine
And so is Davis Warren :(
I'm basically just rooting for every Underdog today, except the Aggies fuck the Aggies.
Chaos for the Chaos God!
For the return of UT vs A&M, it’s a shame they can’t both lose.
Oh shit my b, I was in the other thread y'all.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Ryan Day better enter the witness protection program is what's going on lol
How the hell did they lose to that bum ass Michigan team lol
^10^ Tennessee @ Vanderbilt
I just flipped over to this and it's only been like 7 minutes, how is it already 14 to 7 Vandy?
I said this over in the other thread but I'll repeat it here. Tennessee has yet to play a full game against a meaningful opponent. Is this good or bad if you're our opponent in the cfp?
Probably bad for the Vols, good for your opponent.
Now, if that opponent is Texas, I dunno how scary we are. We have yet to do so as well. (Although maybe Michigan and Florida now count as a meaningful opponents?)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dlyan Sampson leads the SEC and sets the record for single season TDs and Yards at Tennessee, not a Doak Walker finalist. What an absolute joke
^3^ Texas @ ^21^ Texas A&M, the return of the Lone Star Showdown after a 13-year hiatus. Winner of this one goes will be rewarded with their first SECCG appearance
Red zone stop! The pretend soldiers' offensive fails. Rumors are Putin is contacting them now for strategy advice
Texas defense looked really strong last night. Lots of key stops on important plays.
Manning with the first points of the game!
Broke: Mississippi related Manning
Woke: UT related Manning
A&M taking "12th man" too literally, lol
Go horns go! Pretty sure Wisner is still running between the tackles. Now let's get some revenge against Georgia
Why do they keep talking about the foot, surely they're reviewing the bobble
oklahoma @ LSU
Using a timeout on the first series on offense at home? It's like Brian Kelly wants people to pile on even more criticism of his coaching ability
UF @ FSU
Confession: FSU isn’t that different from Florida, it’s just that literally everything about them is a little bit worse, always has been, and always will be, and yet somehow they refuse to admit it.
For that they deserve all the bad things.
The numbers tonight aren’t going to really show it, but Lagway does things that make one really optimistic for the next year or two, portal-willing.
Yeah, this FSU team could hang with Florida if they played clean. Florida is improved but are not elite.
FSU has not played clean. 24-3 Gators early in the 4th.
Iron Bowl
Other two big games don't have the early makings of an upset, but if the Orange or the Trojans keep it competitive I am potentially rooting for chaos there?
How is Auburn winning the turnover battle +3 but down 2 scores? Feels like they used up their entire offensive playbook in overtime last week
Giving up and kicking the fg was pitiful
^25^ Kansas State @ ^16^ Iowa State (Farmageddon)
Major implications for the Big XII/playoff in this one. Wish it was in a snow storm like last year
Wait what happened after the Michigan Ohio State game? I just caught a little bit of that. Did they say the Ohio State players got pepper sprayed
So Michigan did a flag plant, which caused a fight. It was dying down some, but there was still a Michigan player running around with the flag, and the fight started back up when a tOSU player tug-o-war’d it away from him, then other Ohio State people started chasing a Michigan fan/staffer/something who grabbed the now-sad rag of a flag, and random cops started pepper spraying people all over the place. I guess folks from both teams got sprayed.
Got to say I'm pretty darn surprised about Texas's inability to pass the ball tonight.
I don't think "inability" is the right word. With how poor A&M's run defense came to light in their South Carolina and Auburn games, it was obvious we wouldn't need to pass. The thing is, our run game was pretty pedestrian until it showed up out of nowhere the Kentucky game last week
