It was pretty easy when you had the best o-line in football, eh? I don't see that smirk on your face tonight. I guess you weren't as good as you thought you were.



It looks to me like Hurts needs to toughen up.

I'm on my third bag of popcorn.

If him smirking a bit triggers you this badly, then yeah you need to toughen up.
 
How do you miss that facemask?

I don't know how officials miss things that the guy in the last row of the upper deck can see.
There was a horrible missed face mask in the App St-UAB bowl game. An App St player drug the UAB qb to the ground by the face mask in front of a ref—no call. Officiating gets worse each year.

As I get older, the more I want the power 5 schools to break away from the NCAA, form their own organization and have schedules that can eliminate all doubt as to the strength of leagues/teams before playoffs are played.

Every year there is a team or two that have no business in the playoff. And this year, Clemson (who I am sure belongs in terms of being a quality team) was given a free pass to the playoff based on the strength of the ACC.

That's the problem with the playoff. They pick the "right 4" based on record, but they aren't the best 4. They just aren't.
 
So does lack of depth on defense explain all the other CFP appearances for the Sooners?
 
The best argument against UGA/Bama/etc. I've heard is that they basically HAD playoff games to get in and lost. Why give them a second chance?
Because if it were eight you wouldn’t have the 4th best out in round 1 and the 8th playing #1 in the semifinals in a game that’s over after 1 Qtr.
 
I don't believe there is such a thing as "running up the score".

However, if there were, that label should be reserved for when a team goes out and puts a whoopin on West Montana Tech.

I have no sympathy for Oklahoma or any other big time school, particularly one ranked #4.

And Oklahoma doesn't exactly have a history of being merciful.
Ed can be stingy. He has proven that over the years. He wants to beat Oklahoma bad, and he would score 80 if he could in this game.I do believe that running up a score can be maddening for another team though. There has been coaches get mad at other teams, because they thought they were running up the score at times.

Whom do you think should have replaced Oklahoma in the playoffs?

Totally agree! It’s ridiculous to have over 100 teams in 1 division playing for 1 trophy when 70 have no chance ever.

I didn't mention this in my previous post, but I also have a soft spot for Coach O.

Let's face it. People label him as stupid.

So, I kind of think of this as.....so you think I'm stupid, huh?

I just put myself in his shoes and if I had taken that kind of grief over the years, I'd be enjoying the hell out of this to the fullest.

Yeah, I think he is thinking about USC.
