CFP Bracket Reveal 12est ESPN

[ArmchairQB]

Additional bonus to playing Ohio State at 8pm… Reminding Texas that even though they played in Atlanta, and Clemson won their conference, they’re still the undercard game that day.

 

[Sara Clark]

I saw noon at another place - which is it?

247 sports are saying 8pm

 

[Orange931]

We’ll revisit this when this game looks like our Georgia game. If we even keep it that close.

Don’t purposely be a defeatist because you wanna act pleasantly surprised when the outcome is different. Just take a deep breath and relax, it’ll be ok.

This isn’t going to be Lambaeu or Buffalo in January for crying out loud

I quoted someone yipping about cold weather genius

 

[C-south]

Georgia almost beat Alabama. They had a lead late in the game.

I watched the game.

Why are you here? You don't come across as a Tennessee fan .... Nobody should be this negative about their team going into a championship playoff. You are either trolling or softer than a baby's butt.

Had they gone with the top four seeds getting the first round byes, it would be much better.
First round byes:
Oregon
Georgia
Texas
Penn State

First round games
@ Notre Dame / Clemson............winner plays Penn St
@ Ohio St / Arizona St ........winner plays TX
@ Tennessee / SMU .....winner plays GA
@ Indiana / Boise St .......winner plays Oregon

This is how it really should be - include the teams but then rank them relative to the 12.

Lol. Yea just do away with the sec and big 10 championship and seed them 1-4. Lol. Everyone will agree to that.

 

[Power_Sweep_Vol]

This is a minority opinion I am sure but I want them to continue valuing the conf champions and I would like it to stay the way it is…I get the other side though

 

[Gandalf]

I think its funny how they are essentially admitting that Oregon got screwed as #1 seed by getting the winner of UT/OSU. Undefeated and rewarded with hardest bracket.

 

[utvolpj]

OSU doesn't play home games at the end of Dec either. Probably should stop acting like they're used to it

 

[Sudden Impact]

You get rewarded for playing in a Conference Championship win or lose
You get rewarded for not playing in a Conference with a low SOS. 54th.
Notre Dame is playing Indiana, ND is 54th playing Indiana 65th SOS

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Anyone else feel like they begrudgingly put us in?

 

[I4Vols]

But we are playing at noon.

Yup, jumped the gun looking at ESPN's Schedule uncompleted web page...
I can't wait to hear the boobirds at the shoe esp if we get a fast start

 

[Jax_Vol]

247 sports are saying 8pm

Yes. They said we are the primetime game on Dec 21. That is 8 pm kickoff.

We need 100,000 orange in Columbus that day.

Skasper7 is going to drive his bus up there on the 20th.

Maybe they are rewarding Georgia since Georgia had a much tougher schedule this season.

We only get 3500 tickets.

Nah...you gotta get over this BVS.


War's over man. Saban b dead to us

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

If SMU gets boat raced in the first game, the fallout will be epic.

Don't really care about that, I know Bama fans will. Bama has not looked good down the stretch and do not deserve to be in. Be different had they lost games early In the season and were rolling here down the stretch.

I just knew the committee would leave them in for the money and the eyeballs they would draw. But the didn't. Good for them. Hope that's how they always evaluate.

I'm not happy we're on the road and have, probably the toughest path, but it is what it is. Glad to be in the playoff.

 

[VolArmy74]

Maybe they are rewarding Georgia since Georgia had a much tougher schedule this season.

That defies the remainder of the bracket where the weaker the schedule, the bigger the reward was the norm.

 

[UT97Vol]

You are acting like an idiot.

Avg points scored 20
Avg points allowed 22

Last two years combined 19 to 27

Tell me more about how I’m an idiot.

 

[Jax_Vol]

We only get 3500 tickets.

We just beat up the 98 pound osuckeyes, take their lunch money, and tickets.

Grow a pair man

 

[UTFanForLife]

Oregon is honestly getting hosed for going undefeated this year

 

[Sara Clark]

Yes. They said we are the primetime game on Dec 21. That is 8 pm kickoff.

We need 100,000 orange in Columbus that day.

Skasper7 is going to drive his bus up there on the 20th.

I plan on going if I can get tickets.

 

[Sudden Impact]

9th seed has to be the absolute worst position to be in.

Not if you are better team. I personally think they can beat both these team. They were slated in a day game according to the schedule sent out prior to seeding. TV changed it ESPN to a 8:00 pm EST game in Michigan.
This game will be about the variables: weather, officiating, and turnovers.
