Ohio State got absolutely ram rodded.  They likely have to beat Tennessee, then Oregon, then Texas, then Georgia to win it all.  And they still have Ryan Day.  You love to see it.

Dont lose to Michigan…. Again… and again….and again 

[Valmy77 13,567]

Bama wants to be in the CFP? Beat OU.

I disagree that the 12 should be straight seeded. I think the top 4 conference champs should be guaranteed a bye OR home game because they just traveled to a CCG.

So in my solution it's:

1. Oregon versus 9. Tennessee @ 8. Arizona State winner

2. Georgia versus 10. Indiana @ 7. Boise State winner

3. Texas versus 11. SMU @ 6. Ohio State winner

4. Penn State versus 12. Clemson @ 5. Notre Dame winner 

I completely support rewarding conference championships. They mean a lot in college football and they SHOULD mean a lot. 

Going to 12 was the biggest gaffe they made. 8 was a better number but this will lead to us going to 16 with no byes and straight seeding. 

Top 8 get home games and you can still get 5 autobids. Also protects the 1/2 seeds from bad draws  in round 2

GPT predicts that we'll win the Championship! 🤘

We'd beat Arizona State anywhere on Earth, but the top 4 seeds are supposed to get the bowl game closest to them based on seeding so hypothetically Boise should get the Fiesta and then ASU the Sugar, but since the Sugar Bowl would be advantageous for Texas and Boise is going to get outdrawn by Penn State fans wherever they play does that mean we'd likely play ASU in Glendale?

 

We are playing ASU in Atlanta if we win

The 4 seeds go to bowl/conference tie-ins

My bet:

OSU/tenn primetime sat
Notre/indiana sat afternoon or fri night 
Penn st /smu sat 11am
Texas /clemson fri night or sat afternoon 

 

[TejasPedro 1,910]

Saban is jumping into the portal

[MonkeyDoughnut 10,761]

Pretty clear the best 8 teams got in. The other 4...ehhh who cares.  Way better than last year as far as best team inclusion goes.

Now just get rid of auto byes and just seed.

Friday according to the ESPN app.

[Auto Driller 2,563]

Get ready to hear about how Texas somehow did Cade Klubnik wrong and he’s out for revenge.

ESPN showing Friday and if you click the game, says 7pm.

Dec 21st, 3PM for Texas v Clemson.

SMU should probably watch that episode before making a meme out of it. They’re bragging about being the mentally disabled horse in the CFP? Okay.

[Huckleberry 34,403]

Ha I was wondering if Boise would take the Fiesta Bowl

Edited December 8 by Huckleberry

[89Horn 1,735]

Oof.  That 3 and 4 seed decision and the Fiesta bowl.

[Pancho 46,031]

What I like is these are places this team has played at before and knows:

Round 1: home

Quarters: Atlanta

Semis: Dallas

Finals: Atlanta

At least they know who they are.

[Bama Llama 1,505]

Irish road stright to semis free pass. We can’t ssy a damn word about being “left out.”  Just see this Sunday last year.  Lose to Vandy and OU, don’t expect to get in the CFP.  Simple as that.  Wait till next year (sigh).

[Longboard Horn 41,311]

Quinn Ewers vs Cade Klubnik round 2. Quinn gets revenge for the state championship loss.

ESPN is concussed: They are saying our game is on ABC/ESPN on one part of the app and then TNT/Max on another part of the app

The return of Cade Klubnick

Ha.

5 minutes ago, UTEX_ME said:

Oh boy Austin kid who was overlooked by Texas incoming 

As noted - not the case, but if we have Palmer or Herbstreit on commentary, they will say that 100x, minimum.

3 minutes ago, 4th&Five said:

I don’t think that was the case. 

IIRC, Texas eval concluded he was a system QB, etc. and we had Manning coming in 2023.  While getting overwhelmed by UGA, Klubnick only was sacked 2x and threw 1 INT.

I'm not sleeping on them I just have no idea how they got here. lol

[6th Street 6,650]

Our first two games are very winnable if we don't shoot ourselves in the dick like last night 

[billfromlaketravis 11,782]

Notre Dame should beat Georgia, I think handily, with Stockon at QB. 

[UTexasFight 9,787]

Just now, Pancho said:

Interesting.

I know it’s closer for them but surprised Oregon would choose a road game  

[6th Street 6,650]

ND sucks and Stockton is better than Beck

[dcar00 14,897]

so so funny.  the only 3 loss team is the bid stealer.  Loss column rules all just like 90 years ago.  

The great thing about this is all the conf have a chance.  we should have been at 8 teams 25 years ago.  we might have another NC or 2.

He also led them to a grand total of 3 points. 

[Steelers Roll Left 1,280]

Clemson lost to Georgia 34-3 1st game of the season in ATL at “neutral site”, 33-21 at home to Louisville mid-season, 17-14 at home to South Carolina end of season, and held on to beat SMU in The ACC Championship game.  Even factoring in some of the fleas some of us think Texas has (QB, kicker, O-line, play-calling, whatever your beef), Texas should be able to get past Clemson at home

He and Dabo have some weird relationship so he was always going there.

He was a 5 star at Austin Westlake. He was not overlooked by anyone.

Notre Dame's offense is terrible. If Georgia can shut Quinn down, they can shut a shitty thrower like Riley Leonard down.

UGA game was in Atlanta.
