tactlessbastard posted:Dabo sucks so very very much True, but at the same time I get that politicking the committee is part of the job description at this point. Everybody wants that #1 slot, because they’re likely going to get a much easier draw than number 2 (this year more than most).

Proud Christian Mom posted:OU gets in over Utah because of "intangibles" and by that I mean a zillion viewers because this is a business. If the committee wants to take OU over Utah, then why have they consistently ranked Utah above OU? Why save the swerve for the last minute?

Proud Christian Mom posted:the rankings mean nothing Fair enough, but I think people are a lot more  about this than the outcomes have warranted. I think the slight ratings bump a mediocre OU might give them over a mediocre Utah is probably worth giving up just to throw the PAC-12 a bone and keep the peace.

Cnidario posted:What are the chances of a Lonestar Showdown bowl game now? Both teams are 7-5, and I don’t think anyone wants yet another KSU-A&M snoozefest like the one two years ago This is never going to happen unless it’s the NY6. The SEC can assign teams to its affiliate bowls at its discretion. When we play again, it needs to be a big deal, not in some sad third tier bowl with a quarter of the starters and half the staffs gone. It needs to be a setting where we can really light some candles and lay out some rose petals. Reliant Stadium isn’t it. General Dog fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Dec 3, 2019 |

Rick posted:I almost don't think BYU is that bad since they have been pretty decent the second half of the season. Although at the time USC lost to them, BYU was pretty terrible so yeah nevermind. BYU has had a weird-rear end season. Won against Tennessee and USC (caught both of them at a good time, in retrospect), then lost to an unspectacular Toledo and a disastrous USF, then handed Boise its only loss of the season and destroyed a respectable Utah State in back to back weeks, then finished the season by taking a poo poo against SDSU. I know there was a quarterback injury somewhere in there, but I'm not sure if that explains all of it.

I think Saban has probably entered the “Paterno Zone” where the reverence for him becomes self-sustaining and he doesn’t even have to be great anymore. That’s not to say the teams won’t still be great, but even if they decline a bit he’s an institution now.

Grittybeard posted:Yeah....no. 12 years isn't 35 or so before Paterno turned in two bad seasons in a row. And Saban hasn't even really turned in one. If he did it was his first. I’m sure you could find the stupidest 100 people on the internet calling for his head, sure, but by and large no.

MourningView posted:They had horrible injury luck in the front seven that started before they even kicked off an actual game, lost their Heisman candidate QB, and were a combined 8 points from likely being in the playoff again. The idea that this is what Alabama's nightmare "everything goes wrong" season looks like is frankly terrifying.

I don't know why we're discussing also-rans like Bama when we could be talking about teams still in contention like Utah and Baylor.

Here's a movie pitch: a couple of retired college coaches in their late 70s or early 80s with bad blood between them each take HC jobs at rival high schools near their Florida retirement community. Like maybe a thinly fictionalized Steve Spurrier and Mack Brown.

Do people actually hate Bama? That just seems like Ahab hating the whale; they’re just this indifferent behemoth that defies any projection of “good” or “evil”.

PostNouveau posted:Why TCU? I just don't like Patterson, he's a big fat crybaby and it's unpleasant to watch him sweat through multiple shirts over the course of 4 hours while his towel/water girl attends to him. He called out Briles after a game (that TCU lost, btw) saying that he had poor control over his players and even called out a specific player for playing dangerously. Seems like a breach of coach etiquette to tell another one that he's not running his team right. General Dog fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Dec 6, 2019 |
