I mean if they hadn't pissed around against Wazzu they'd be in easily and there'd be no OSU/Bama debate whatsoever.

No way Bama gets in over OSU. OSU is a cleaner less messy route for the committee, and they still get big time money.

Counterpoint: OSU got in last year on the same basic logic and got boatraced by Clemson for a super boring game (yes seeing OSU get boatraced is fun but they want awesome games) and Clemson is going to be the 1 which means they can do the Bama rubber match not rear end Whooping v2.0.

The other game is already going to be UGA vs OU, the committee is simply sitting down to decide who plays Clemson.

If UCF gets paired against any decent competition in their bowl game they will be ripe for an upset. I'm sure Frost cares a shitload about the team and players but the reality is this next month is about to be a complete living hell for him from preparing for the bowl to the media to finding his NU staff to calling NU recruits to just preparing to uproot his life and move halfway across the country.

If they were put in the CFP Clemson would loving destroy them, even more than if Frost wasn't changing jobs.

Big time. I'd love to see Mayfield sling his way to a title.

I'll be honest, JFF rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't despise him but seeing him lose was fun. Mayfield does a lot of the same poo poo but I guess I like the cut of his jib and give him a pass. I guess that makes me a hypocrite but something about flag planting at midfield and grabbing nuts at the other team makes me want to see him hoist the Heisman and crystal football (or w/e the trophy is now).

UGA and Clemson's fanbases were identical until last year because it was two groups of people huffing fumes on the success of what happened 30 years ago. Bama is Bama. OU isn't even in the same stratosphere as the other three.

e: UGA and Clemson fans were mostly just self-hating, which is an A+ fanbase quality.

Yea, I mean there's obviously going to be some of that but just nationally I don't see nearly as much of it as the other three. I'm sure being in their conference brings you closer to the insanity.

Mayfield is going to win with a historic landslide but I�m pleasantly surprised Love is there over Barkley and especially that Jackson made it. Jackson was as good or better this year as he was last and it felt like no one talked about him at all once it became clear the team wasn�t that great.

I feel like I frequently heard about Jackson but it was about as much as you said and for the reasons you said. Crazy year, lovely team, just super difficult to get a Heisman with that combo.

This is the standard of proof for determining whether or not he receives criminal punishment, it doesn�t also need to be the standard for determining if he should face a suspension from the football team.

Yea, the simple solution is an indefinite suspension now and depending on how things turn out you either invite him back or remove him from the team.

This year is the last year my city will host the Stagg Bowl (25th time) as the NCAA no longer wants any city to keep a grip on events anymore for any sports and is all about constantly shuffling them around now.

In fitting fashion, Mount Union overcame a 25 point 2nd half deficit and made it back. This is their 20th appearance in the last 25 years and their first win came in the first year my city hosted the Stagg and I have memories of 10 year old me freezing in the snow to watch it.

Going to be bittersweet, it's been such a fun thing to go to and the fans for these games treat it as seriously as any FBS fan does their title game.

Once a year or so my dad and I pick a gimme game for VT and sit in the south EZ (NEZ where the students sit suck but SEZ is really nice) and watch. I go there specifically to watch the D. It's not as fun if you aren't a football dork because we're all so programmed to only follow the ball but if you can break away from that it can help you see things better and help your understanding of the game.

If you read the post at the bottom it basically says if anything came of this (it won't) FSU just has to apply for a waiver from the NCAA and it seems highly likely it'll be granted, especially this close to the game.

Every time I watch a USC game, Darnold has some stupid-rear end turnover. It's super obvious NFL defenses are going to eat him alive. He might have a lot of physical upsides, but you can't train "doofus" out of someone. He'll always be a doofus.

He's gonna go before Lamar Jackson if he goes this year, which is nuts. I hope it's not my team that makes that huge mistake.

I can't help but think he's destined to bust. Maybe he'll mature mentally later, he is still very young.

Also signing him has all the hallmarks of a Dan Snyder fuckup written all over it.

That's such a weird thing to be held up on, especially considering its pretty rare it ends up happening.

It happens constantly in the NFL and is appropriately penalized but college DBs are rarely smart enough to do this, although a Wisconsin DB did it tonight.

Weird reason not to watch a sport, though.
