Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Dan Lanning shoulda just played all backups last night. #5 and 6 seed is 100x times easier than the #1 seed

I was just saying the same thing. Aside from the bye, there is 0 incentive to being the 1 seed. Based solely on their path to getting there, TX has the easiest path. Second to ND, who I think is better than TX and thus probably makes it to the final.

Danny isn’t texting a buddy…

 

[mr.checkerboards]

You can when the schedules have such imbalance.

It’s as if we were able to substitute @Georgia to play Northwestern. It’s a stupid system and Penn State 1000% deserves to be in the bottom 3 teams.

Disagree

 

[Orangeburst]

ND needs to soften their schedule in the future and not play the NIUs of the world.

Way back when all that was being sought was an “And One Game” I predicted we’d follow the (then) I-AA playoff game model and that carried through to when they tried to placate the masses with FOUR teams. Now that I see the end result of 12 teams? I think it’s cleaner and tidier and amps the excitement of the regular season. There will always be the aggrieved martyrs, but this is as fair as biased individual can build a consensus on imo.

Imma need the addresses of all playoff committee members.

Just wanna send them something

I’d rather have to face Oregon than Georgia in R2. We’d run it down that soft-ass D’s throat. Let’s handle business in Columbus!

 

[sammyjoey]

Committee did a good job. Only thing I’d change is flip 12 Clemson and 11 SMU, so you give Clemson credit for the head to head, send them to Penn State, and give us the Texas-SMU matchup.

Our path of @Ohio State followed by Oregon is a really tough assignment. But the potential to play in the Rose Bowl is awesome. Would love to make that trip.

Feels like I’m watching Alabama’s wake.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Gotta think Herbstreit has his finger on the pulse of the Ohio state fanbase. He really made it seem like if they got off to a slow start, we could take the fanbase out of it.

 

[Rishvol]

I love how they are completely ignoring tejas not winning a top 25 game

 

[Orange.]

god the bama love fest needs to freaking stop.

 

[SpringBokVol]

OSU is a 9 point favorite against the Vols and will have the refs.

 

[Vols_n_Pugs]

Vols in the Rose Bowl…. Nice ring to it

 

[TrippieRedd]

Oh ****……one last time this season.

It’s time for Bama to hang it up and go be family men during the playoffs.

Good riddance.

I think fanduel has OSU @ -6.5

Will it be BIG10 refs?

 

[Orange.]

Bama not getting in has made it all worth it for me

This is splendid

 

[Christian Lowe]

SEC refs

 

[crawdaddyjc]

[Christian Lowe]

Penn State is going to rage having to play at noon yet again

 

[gordonr24]

It was obvious that Tenn/Ohio St would get the Saturday primetime slot.

 

[knoxvol52]

Night game on Dec.21st at 8:00 p.m.

Vols in the Rose Bowl…. Nice ring to it

The last time we were playing for a Rose Bowl trip it started a 20-year curse.
