CFP First Round: #12 Clemson @ #5 Texas (4PM TNT/max)

[Matt2496]

Every team that loses a playoff game obviously doesn’t belong. I’m sure the whining will continue no matter what they do going forward.

Yes. The CFP Committee literally can not win, unless they expand the playoffs even further. If they put teams in based strictly on merit or record, you get these blowout games, and people complain. If they put teams based on SoS and eye test, then they excoriated by the AD's and fans of those schools that went 11-1 or 12-0 by beating a bunch of cupcakes, and people complain about SEC bias or whatever.

Pick six wiped off, but Clemson has the ball. Tx players dropping like flies.
Clemson always good for a dirty play or two in every game

 

[Matt2496]

Tx should have kicked FG instead of going for it

Their field goal kicker has been having issues. Multiple missed field goals during the SEC championship game.

I hate Clemson but I don't like that blindside block call.

 

[lilesrt]

That was a terrible call. I see a clean hit on #65.

 

[just bob]

Absolutely ridiculous call.

 

[just bob]

I just had a nauseous throwback memory I never wanted to ever see again.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Absolutely ridiculous call.

Yep. The ref analyst said, "because he(65) wasn't looking."


Wut?

Game changing call. In the playoffs no less.

Wut?

Yes. He was clearly a part of the play, clearly close to carrier, the block was in the front, nothing malicious. It was an egregious call.

Cost them 4 points. Down 7 vs 11 is kind of a big deal..

 

[Go47]

Sarkisian’s play calling . . . Is suspect . . . And Ewers is one of the most Jekyll and Hyde QBs in some time.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Yup

 

[Dudleys87]

Good night Irene maybe next year.

 

[just bob]

Yup

I just know this will happen with the later game..

 

[onthehill71]

Looks like a lot of empty seats in Austin

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I just know this will happen with the later game..

Let’s hope not.

 

[Dudleys87]

Kevin Steele must be calling the defense for Clemson

 

[Sarms58]

Good job Laura…

 

[mackievol]

Hi Clemson, you are now a part of the fraud selection. You and SMU and Indiana

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Game changing call. In the playoffs no less.

You think the officiating was bad in our basketball game vs Illinois, just wait until tonight vs OSU. We need a comfortable lead.

Just do away with sos altogether. Make your schedule however you see fit and let it all play out. Teams than want to expand to mega conferences have nobody to blame but themselves. 16 teams in a conference is ridiculous.

So I missed the first half but saw that the score immediately changed from 21-12 to 28-10?

Clemson had to kick FG after a penalty and that made it 21-10.
TX drove the field and scored a TD and then kicked a FG to start 2nd half

Rough sledding up in there
