TCU should still be in over Bama. We shall see. I would not bet $0.01 on it though.
I doubt the playoff committee would have a rematch of OSU and UM in the first round, might still end up UGA UM TCU OSU if UM and UGA win today.

So do they keep TCU at 3 to keep Mich and OSU from playing on the first round? If the committee puts Bama in at 4 they have the same problem. Essentially they have to either swap Mich and UGA, not drop TCU or they get OSU and Mich in the semis.

For those who think Penn State's TE room is the best in the country....it can't hold a candle to Georgia's.

what kind of crap is the Dr. Pepper scholarship contest (where 2 people chuck footballs into the container)? They had 2 finalists. They run the competition (I think for 30 seconds), and both contestants have the same score (11, I think). Then to break the tie, they have an extra competition (I think for 15 seconds), and both contestants have the same score (8, I think). And then they announce that the one contestant had won the tiebreaker the previous day, so she was the winner (1st place got a $100,000 scholarship, while the 2nd place person got a $20,000 scholarship. The crowd (at the SEC Championship) booed. I don't blame them. Hold the tiebreaker in front of the crowd, not the day before.

Remember there are different criteria for different teams. The big 12 is a weak league, you need to win the league. Can’t penalize bama for being in the sec west meat grinder.

I was staring at Jenny Dell, so I did not notice what happened!

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.


KU grad also pulled like crazy for K-State!

Celebrating will be crazy in the Little Apple tonight!
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.

He’s only playing because the Neb transfer QB Martinez is out!

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.

Young men fighting. Attraction?

Let’s be honest, Georgia, Bama, O$U, and UM are clearly the top teams in CFB and that should be the playoff. UM 1 seed, UGA 2 seed, O$U 3 seed, and Bama the 4 seed. We get to see the best of B10 vs best of SEC. Can’t get any better.

A funny line, but that is a 15-yard personal foul for violation of board rules. smh

Can’t wait for Purdue to beat those bums from Ann Arbor and make the whole playoff chaos
What will be the chaos, though? Michigan will still be in the playoff and Penn State will get knocked out of the Rose Bowl.

I doubt the playoff committee would have a rematch of OSU and UM in the first round, might still end up UGA UM TCU OSU if UM and UGA win today.
So do they keep TCU at 3 to keep Mich and OSU from playing on the first round? If the committee puts Bama in at 4 they have the same problem. Essentially they have to either swap Mich and UGA, not drop TCU or they get OSU and Mich in the semis.
That scenario is the least controversial for the selection committee.
Personally hate the matchup manipulation nonsense 🤷‍♂️ ...if OSU should be ranked 3, ahead of TCU, then rank them ahead of TCU instead of arbitrarily deciding who should play who; leave that to the other bowls. The playoff rankings should be independent of any such thoughts and if it leads to an all B1G semi-final then so be it. 🤷‍♂️

Also, for as much as Georgia has already been anointed as the national champion, how is it fair to GEORGIA to have to play a STRONGER team in the semi-final? If OSU would otherwise be ranked 3 and is artificially ranked 4, why should GA have to beat OSU instead of beating TCU?

If scUM rolls tonight vs PU and LSU keeps creeping closer to UGA during the second half, does the "Committee" avoid controversy by:

1. Michigan
2. Georgia
3. Ohio State
4. TCU

🤷‍♂️
