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

[mackievol]

massive defensive effort down 5 scores, SMU making a comeback.

One of the commentators said that even after today, putting SMU in was still the right choice.
As long as people like him say stuff like that, then this deal isn’t going to get any better in the future.

Yeah that was the dumbest comment ever by the commentator. I am pretty sure there isn't one single person that believes it.

The talent difference is big, but the play style has me thinking about our game.

PSU is running it over SMU and the PSU d line is eating. Meanwhile SMU is trying to throw it around. Could this be our game?

PSU oline is almost picking up the SMU dline and running them to the sidelines like you would a child. We are way better than OSU but not THAT kind of better. Again, not because PSU is good.

True. But that's why we have to put schedules in context. Because the disparity in talent is too vast. I'm not arguing for Oklahoma to be in the playoffs at 6-6 because they recruit top 10 nationally. I'm saying put 9-3 South Carolina in that played a schedule filled with top 15 recruiting powers over 11-1 Indiana that only played two such games against top 15 recruiting powers.

We have to look at wins and losses IN CONTEXT rather than simply saying that a 11-1 team deserves to be in over 9-3 teams despite the huge difference in strength of schedule because they won more games against scrub teams.

Yep, and once the "committee" realized this, that fool Manuel started with the "strength of record" nonsense. I never heard that term until a month ago, and they ruined this event in their lust to get these teams in over SEC teams they knew in their heart of hearts would wipe the field with these teams.

The most annoying part of this matchup is that if it weren’t for the “conference champion bye” BS, TN would be hosting SMU in the 7/10 game…..

 

[CPVOL]

Pedo State will now face the football juggernaut…..Arizona St. (suspenseful music plays) in what will likely get a contract extension for Jimmy Franklin.

These clowns are puppets, and they aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them. McDonough probably doesn't give a schiit, which is why he pretty much said last night that Indiana didn't belong, but he's the same guy who was lecturing after Clemson beat SMU that SMU belonged in the playoff.

It's why I haven't watched anything but games for the last 25 years. These clowns don't know any more, and usually less than any fan who has a clue and pays attention. And they are so beholden to their masters that pay their absurd contracts that they'll rarely bite the hand that feeds them. Bunch of f***king whores, just like politicians.

With this new setup. probably should do away with conference champion games. For sure, byes should be determined ONLY by rankings!

Conference champs should get a guaranteed spot on the playoffs but byes should be given to the top four teams. Would make things a lot better

I'm glad Bama got left out too. lol Their 24-3 loss to Oklahoma put them behind South C and Ole Miss. Miami would have been better than this too. I'm sure another Big 12 team or two would have been better as well.

Didn’t Alabama end up finishing the season ranked higher than both of those teams?

I believe so. I meant puts them behind the others for me. I worded that real poorly.

 

[easttnbuck]

Oklahoma would bodybag SMU. Vandy would go 11-1 with Indiana's schedule.

The talent disparity is what matters in games like this not fluke results.

Oklahoma is hot garbage this year

Didnt vandy get busted up by Georgia State? Doubt they would go 11-1 with any power five schedule

 

[nomads-11]

Because of the asinine bye system, it's the second round that's going to suffer as well in this playoff. There are two walkovers, or should be walkovers anyway.

If you need it right, I don't think we'll see most of them come round 2.

Ah ok, gotcha.

Lol. My god

Just heard booger say”he could’ve run for the first down, he decided not to.” Idk who you are but based on the amount of posts and the lack of likes I’d guess you’re either unemployed and simply dumb with a lot of extra time on your hands, or something like a lawyer that will never be wrong in their deluded mind.

Regardless of which I think you are, I’m confident you don’t know more about football than booger.

Also, I think you should revisit the idea of “logic” regardless of which of my categories you fit in. Yours is abhorrent

As long as you’re confident

I think no matter what you say you’re a fagg*t and a troll. I wanted it to alternate.

throwing to a wide open guy in the end zone is always wrong.

Didn't read his post; he's been on my IGNORE for a long time. So, I agree with you.

Your lack of self awareness is on par with your football IQ
