Holy shit this is entertaining as hell. Will OSU agree to play 6-man football for the bowl game or will aggy have to forfeit.... AGAIN?

This I agree with & Penix has delivered when needed this year. It's part of what makes him special. If it comes down to the last possession of the game I sure hope we have the ball trying to score & not y'all.

Unfortunately for us, Ewers has walked himself into several sacks vs. 3 & 4 man fronts since his return. I think he was just protecting his shoulder as much as possible, but he wasn't nearly as willing to run as he was early in the season & the 1 time he did vs OSU he missed the next play with an injury. Hopefully the month off allows his shoulder to fully heal & to gain confidence in being able to take off to get a first down when it's needed. If Ewers starts feeling phantom pressure then it's going to be a long night.

Getting your ass handed to you by Bama 8 years ago isn't quite the flex you think it is. Congrats on it though, it must have been a real honor.

What Sark says to the media & what's going on in meetings can be 2 very different things. Maybe we can glean a little bit more from interviews in the week leading up to the game. If he's still spouting off "just happy to be here" & not "we came here to prove a point" then I'll start getting worried. I'm not worried what he said 10 seconds after finding out that they had been selected though since it was no guarantee that we were in.

They were the one team of the 4 other CFP contenders I didn't want to face because of Penix. I have no idea how he'll fare in the NFL but he's exactly what you want in a college QB & he's going up against the weakest part of our team. If we can't get consistent pressure with only the DL we may have to score 40 just to have a chance. That said, if UW fans are expecting the same UT team from last year to show up they're going to be sadly disappointed. Worthy dropping everything, Casey fucking Cain being our leading WR, Brooks on 1/2 a leg & Krob rushing for all of 45 yards. I understand they've upgraded as well but this years team beats the Alamo Bowl UT team by 3 TDs. So long as Sark isn't trying to get our guys read with the BS he tried in the cotton bowl "Hey, we're so lucky to be able to compete on this glorious field with this fine weather." la-tee-da bullshit & it's more along the lines of what we've seen the last 2 weeks where we're just in complete "fuck you" mode I think we'll be fine. If someone on the Washington DL or OL could give us some bulletin board material that'd be nice.

From what I've seen Penix + Odunze are going to give us fits & I don't know if there's a better clutch combo in the playoffs. If there is one worth mentioning in the same breath it'd be Ewers & AD but Penix has like a decade of experience & just seems to make every single play exactly when it's needed.

Let me get this straight. If we stop your passing game AND your running game we'll win? It's that easy? Man, you're the regular football savant. Glad you came over here to enlighten us.

Example # 1,536 why there should be different targeting penalties. Charge us 15 for the blindside/targeting? Okay. He missed the second half of a championship game & the first half of a playoff game for that?!? Bull-fucking-shit. This shit needed to be fixed years ago but, alas, the NCAA.

So do we Leon, so do we.

If our secondary plays like it did yesterday we’re in for a long night vs. the UW offense. Penix isn’t missing his guys when they get behind us. Button it up and keep them under 30 and we’re golden because they aren’t stopping our offense with much regularity.

so we’ve had 2 weeks and a billions posts and now that all the games are done, we still have no fucking clue what’s going to happen?!? My guess is: UM UW FSU UT I don’t see the committee leaving the undefeated P5 champs out and I think the committee respects the h2h over Bama as well as how dominant we’ve looked the last 2 weeks.

The Big 12 needs to whore itself in any & every way possible to make as much money as possible while they can. It's only going to get worse once their pimps are gone.

Harbaugh didn't coach in the last 3 conference games either. What a great example! The last time the Big 12 COTY went to someone whose team didn't finish the season first was in 2019 to Rhule when Baylor finished T-1st & wasn't skull fucked in embarrassing fashion by 2 awful teams. Before that Campbell won it back to back years as he lead ISU from the basement dwellers they had been for a decade to respectable. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bullshit decision & it's spiteful & cost Sark $50k.

I'm plenty chill & thankful for the bulletin board material for the championship game - if there was need for any. That doesn't change the fact that Gundy getting it because they beat OU is idiotic & defending that selection by saying "well we're supposed to be good and they weren't" is a terrible take.

STFU with this bullshit. Sark was the coach of the year plain and simple. Gundy got waxed by UCF & beat by a bad ISU team. The premise of a coach who has been at his school for almost 20 years winning COTY because his team was supposed to suck but didn't is stupid.

That hasn't been the case for UO, UM, UW, or UGA this year & I don't think it's going to make a shit most years. Walk onto the field and beat a cream puff by 30 and stay healthy for conference play. You give yourself 2 "whoops" conference games a year, maybe 3 depending on how the year works out. If they're going to punish teams for losing tough OOC games but not reward them accordingly for winning them, then there's no reason to schedule them anymore. Making the playoffs is all that's going to matter going forward & it won't take long for the marquee OOC games to fall by the wayside.

FIFY SOS meant a lot in the BCS days. It means jack shit to this committee & will mean less & less going forward.

I know you're an UGA fan but even you should be able to understand this map & how it works.

That's no shit. Dumbass Napier with the double reverse flea flicker after getting the ball at midfield up 12-0 was the biggest turning point in that game. instead of going up 15 or 19 they punt, FSU drives for a TD, & UF misses the FG at half. Huge mistake on top of all the dumb penalties let FSU escape. Rodemaker was an absolute liability for most of the game.

I don't think OSU ranking is a big deal with regard to them potentially sneaking into the playoffs. I think it's a big indicator of how the committee views us & illustrates our inability to sneak into the playoffs. 2 weeks ago I would have argued (and I actually may have argued) that UT could sneak in over UO &/or FSU if we looked good the last 2 weeks while winning the Big 12 & Bama won the SEC. I thought the Bama win + Bama winning the SEC + common opponent with UO (TTU) would be the catapult we needed to jump an ugly 13-0 FSU or even 12-1 UO. OSU being ranked above us squashes that argument because it can no longer be viewed as us nipping at UO's heels. Instead of UO being 5a and UT 5b it's more like UW is 3a & UO is 3b while UT is solidly 7. The championship games will allow us to move up to 5th (maybe) but not higher than that without upsets happening.
