Fire Tim Beck edit: Also the conference championship games are super cool and interesting this year. At least two are defacto playoff games, and maybe the big10 too. G-Hawk fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Nov 26, 2017 |

The Michigan season ended pretty much as I assumed it would, but we did hang in there against Ohio State for a while. Nine months until it really begins anew.

we flipped the script(TM) and could get to 10 wins so that is cool dave warner and most of our coordinators and assistants are still loving trash and dantonio needs to stop defending idiots

Feel like we're going to come up short of major fuckery this year and it'll just be ACC/SEC/B10/B12 conference winners regardless of who. If Miami hadn't putzed around then an OSU or TCU win would have been prime to get two ACC teams in but otherwise seems boring this year. Getting to this week was fun but I don't think anything wacky is going to happen.

Playoff pecking order seems pretty clear (order of the top four is arbitrary) 1) Auburn/Georgia winner 2) Clemson/Miami winner 3) Wisconsin (if they win) 4) Oklahoma (if they win) 5) Alabama 6) Ohio State/TCU/Notre Dame/USC/Washington (if they win) I have to think Bama is first alternate if Wisconsin or Oklahoma lose, but if both lose- hold onto your butts, it's gonna get wild.

Not that I think you'd have won but it sucks Grier had to miss the game because I think you guys could have put up some crazy numbers together, one of those 100 point, 1300 yard games.

By rule, it's never allowed to be pretty, but the Territorial Cup has been returned to its rightful home in Tempe. Demario Richard ran real hard all game. It was a lovely way for him to close out his ASU career. Go Devils!

Not that it matters a ton but why would OU jump Clemson this week? Clemson is kicking the poo poo out of a better team than WV (at least with Grier out). And Clemson's win against Auburn is looking even better.

By virtue of their head-to-head record, Stanford would be in the Pac-12 Championship over Washington. e: Beaten like a Coog.

Ah poo poo I didn't realize that, my East Coast bias is showing. So yeah, USC is the only hope for the Pac-12, and if Notre Dame manages to come back against Stanford it might be hard to justify taking them.

i really have no idea how USC would have a path, in part because Stanford isn't going to be a super impressive win, if they win. And looks like ND is toast, now

The American Athletic Conference and CBS Sports Network are garbage organizations that stole Tulane's victory. The unlikely quest for a bad bowl was almost complete, they had marched down the field as time expired. I was there, I watched Banks get the touch down with seconds left. The bad refs made no call, then gave it to SMU. He was in. CBS Sports Network is too cheap for the pile on camera and the American is too garbage to require one. Tulane should be going to a bad bowl. Dumb garbage stopped them from getting there. I have no ill will towards SMU but that was the worst call I've seen all season and what a time for that to happen. Next season, Tulane's quest for a bad bowl will be completed.

Maaaaybe TCU sneaks into the conversation if they absolutely demolish Oklahoma, but that seems unlikely. I don't think anyone beyond that has any path

The only offensive players in the Big12 who should be eligible for the Heisman should be RBs. Everything else is mostly pyrrhic for offense in that league Go a Black Knight

UF looked like garbage, giving up 21 points off turnovers (pick-6, scoop-n-score, pick return inside the 5 resulting in TD). UF managed to lose out on the best available coach and get stomped by the worst FSU team in my lifetime. Not a wonderful Saturday. However, we finished 4-7 and I don't have to watch another down of Nussmeier playcalling.  I'm glad there's finally a dagger in this team.

I honestly felt worse about the Oregon loss this year, I just have already dealt with so much post Dawkins stress that it's hard to feel bad, or, anything at all, about a loss wherein he was required to be on the field for roughly half the game. Hopefully Tate is ready to go by the bowl game this year and Arizona can do a bunch of fun stuff there.

Is it theoretically possible Clemson, Alabama, and Auburn could all make the playoff? And Auburn would have to close out the season playing Alabama twice, Georgia twice, and Clemson a second time?

If Clemson wins and then Oklahoma loses and/or Ohio State mehs their way to a disappointing win then Alabama will 2011 their way in
