K-State just scored, 7-7 at 0:15 of 1st. Rooting hard for K-State, my wife has many cousins who graduated Manhattan, good people, good friends.
Saturday’s CFB Championship Games Thread

I know it's plus territory but TCU really should have punted there and kept playing the field position game. Little things like missed 4th downs and missed FG's give the opponent an emotional boost. We saw it with Utah last night and now K-State just got a dose with TCU giving it up near midfield. Pin them deep and make them go the length.
Easy review, a clean shoulder-to-shoulder hit, although the receiver was in a very vulnerable position. It was “wow, the receiver almost got killed so it must be targeting.”
If tcu loses and it’s two sec and two big ten, do they separate or set up a big ten sec final?
In all seriousness. We may actually be the 5th best team in the country.
Just win our bowl game and we will be in 5 to 7 range in final ranking.

Yeah, if it gives us a pep in our step when we get out of bed, why not let this be our take? Over the years we’ve had countless teams that overachieved, or at least played totally up to their potential. Character-wise, this Penn State team has what it takes.

I walked the dog at 14-7 and now it’s halftime, 14-10. It’s a fun game to watch. It’s the first time all year I’ve seen TCU play for an extended spell and I hadn’t seen K-State play at all. All I know is what I see, young men fighting for their teams. In the end, that’s what the attraction is, I guess.

Almost as much fun as watching the hired mercenaries getting their asses kicked in last night.
Utah delivered for the forces of good and righteousness.
If they do that, they will destroy any shred of credibility they may have left. They would either have to drop GA after a win or move two loss Bama ahead of OSU….either move shows they’re just playing with the numbers to get the result they want and that wouldn’t be good for the system.
I lost track of the halftime clock and only just now got back to the game. TD K-State, 21-10. The K-State QB Howard reminds me of Drew Bledsoe.
But that is exactly what they want, play with numbers to get the best television matchup.
Or do they keep them together to ensure a NCG that is not a match-up from the same conference?
I just remembered that John Urschel is on the CFP selection panel.
Geez, don't even get thru one play before the jinx kicks in.
I usually root for the underdogs but if they win it could be bad for PSU. PSU isn't going to pass TCU no matter what but if #10 Kansas wins they could pass us if we lose our bowl game. I don't think we'll pass USC but now Utah could pass us with a with a bowl win.
If TCU loses both today’s game and their bowl game, PSU will likely pass them if we beat (probably) Utah.
I’m not going to search for this post, but I am on record as saying that “no way either TCU or USC lose.” It’s amazing to me how bad a prognosticator I am.
You could make a lot of money betting against yourself.
First USC now TCU, doesn’t anyone want to be in the playoffs?
It was tough to watch the TCU QB on the sidelines after that interception. Wow, he was dying inside.
If OSU gets in the backdoor by avoiding the CCG then beats Michigan, I will laaaugh....
