CFP First Round: #11 SMU @ #6 Penn State (Noon TNT/max)

So far the committee with major egg on their face

I’m not saying anything about any other teams until our game is over lol.

The fact that you feel compelled to justify not saying anything about this beating, tells the story just fine, I think.

 

[C-south]

It was obviously a bad decision, it required execution and he didn’t execute. Therefore bad decision. I think you’re just being argumentative for the sake of it at this point.

So it was a bad decision after the fact because he didn’t hit the dude standing by himself in the end zone. Lol yea you’re on top of it.

 

[VolArmy74]

Gonna assume the entire committee is fired and replaced next season. Danny White should head it.

I wonder if Jennings comes out for the 2H dressed a bit more for the weather. Not saying that’s why he’s struggled, but no sense freezing your butt off and struggling.

 

[dieseldaddy]

I'm sure that does have some effect but I'm not sure they could beat indiana.

Not sure they could beat vandy.

Alabama sitting at home is great but my wife is looking at this score and looking at her honeydo list and looking at me.......

How so?

Fraud #2 SMU. Congratulations to SMU for joining Indiana in that category.

 

[SugarVols]

How so?

Indiana was iffy, but SMU had no business being in the playoff. Bama or South Carolina either one should’ve been in.

With a 12 team playoff who should have taken their spot?

 

[utchs81]

This game is over Jennings is toast. Bring on the Ewers Klubnik rematch

 

[OrangeVolMan]

How so?

Really. You don’t understand how the committee messed up putting SMU in playoffs. Not to mention Indiana.

 

[C-south]

Indiana was iffy, but SMU had no business being in the playoff. Bama or South Carolina either one should’ve been in.

Why? Because they’re sec? Gimme a break. They lost 3 games and made their bed.

I understand that the world doesn’t revolve around the sec nor should it.

Take your pick. Alabama, Miami, Ole Miss or USC are all better than SMU or Indiana.

 

[SugarVols]

Why? Because they’re sec? Gimme a break. They lost 3 games and made their bed.

Yes, because of tough SEC schedule. Are you promoting the ACC schedule they had?

 

[lawgator1]

I understand that the world doesn’t revolve around the sec nor should it.

Yes it does, and yes it should.

Though there are exceptions, by and large the SEC top to bottom is far better than any other conference in football. Baseball has been thay way for awhile now. And basketball is approaching the same status.

You don't need to "weed out" anyone if you actually put the best teams in to begin with.

Because there are so many great 7 seeds in the NFL playoffs? Or the 8th seed’s first round winning percentage in the NBA, is like a high 7% (I believe it’s like 6 out of 82 series)?

I think something lost in here is everyone’s complaining about the bottom seeds. The 10th and 11th seeds are pretty much here so a bracket’s worth of games; they traditionally do (and most of them should) lose to the higher ranked teams…plenty of times badly. It’s a part of what comes with expanding a bracket.

Feel sorry for this Jennings kid. Is he just having a bad day...or truly this WRETCHED?

 

[easttnbuck]

Take your pick. Alabama, Miami, Ole Miss or USC are all better than SMU or Indiana.

Problem is they all had really bad losses also. If you can't squeeze your fat butt into a 12 team play-off then you can't whine about anythinng

Boat raced by Oklahoma and beaten by vandy isn't Exactly screaming "we belong"

 

[TrueOrange]

I'm not saying Bama deserved to be in, but I do know they would have given Penn State a much better game.

Then they didn’t need to lose to one 6-6 team and get absolutely blown out by another 6-win team.

 

[chattaboogie]

So it was a bad decision after the fact because he didn’t hit the dude standing by himself in the end zone. Lol yea you’re on top of it.

Even if he made the throw and it was caught it was still the wrong decision. Running out of bounds for the first is the correct decision. You just can’t grasp that apparently.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Committee really smashed it out of the park with this stellar matchup. Penn State just far too battle hardened from playing that difficult schedule. Boise State waiting for the victor via the auto bye, lmfao.

 

[C-south]

Yes it does, and yes it should.

Though there are exceptions, by and large the SEC top to bottom is far better than any other conference in football. Baseball has been thay way for awhile now. And basketball is approaching the same status.

No it shouldn’t especially while discounting everyone else.
