I figured I'd get things started, since my Huskies are just a few hours from kickoff.... Seems likely that we win and we're in the playoff, but I'm worried about Colorado's dual threat qb and secondary managing an upset...
Then again, if UW doesn't beat them, they don't deserve to make it....

Interesting to shove that into this discussion
WTF?

College bowl officials, weve been told, are rooting against Navy this weekend. If the Midshipmen beat Temple in Saturdays American Athletic Conference title game, theyd preserve the possibility of a New Years Six bowl berth pending the result of the Army-Navy game and thus delay a host of other pressing announcements. For that reason, it would be easier for the sport if the Mids lose on Saturday. Invitations must be mailed.

Well, that settles it - I was rooting for Navy already, but if it pisses off
the NCAA, then I'm REALLY roooting for them now...
They're not looking great but that argument only holds water in a vaccuum.
Looking forward to a sunny, cool day in Annapolis. Tailgate set for 9:00...ready to roll!
I think this games shapes up more like the Notre Dame game in terms of the pace and the score. 3rd/4th down coversions and turnovers will be the difference.
Navy 31 Temple 28
They won convincingly enough. They're in, or should be in.

In the final 4. Beating a team with its backup qb isn't impressive especially with a tied game in the 2nd.

Not so sure. The word repeatedly is we want the best 4 teams, especially those playing that way now.
Clemson will destroy them.
Swinney is the biggest tool in the ACC. He's a complete asshole. You must have forgot him ripping into his kicker for an entire quarter.

If their offense shows up they will be in the game. There offense studdered against Cuse.

Swinney is kind of goofy, but a good guy. Deshaun is Watson is a really good kid and a solid citizen. They're not a traditional superpower who beats everyone all the time, like 'Bama. Not sure why they'd be disliked unless you root for an ACC rival or South Carolina.

I'm not a Clemson fan by any stretch, but I just don't understand where this narrative about Swinney being a tool or an asshole comes from. I don't know him, obviously, but I've seen many articles and snippets on various shows that show him as a very giving and likeable guy. Sure he just LOOKS like you want to punch him in the face, but I think the rap he's gotten is a bit off from what I've seen.
Ha! I'm not sure they care who they play.

What team is playing so much better?
If Alabama loses and Clemson wins, are they at risk of getting knocked out of the playoffs?
They aren't losing to Florida either.
crazy sequence of events
Penn State is getting crushed.
He is only a sophomore. Still has time to develope. Two really shitty calls on him though.

Is a dogshit corner. Please God don't let Reese draft him.

He looks like Jayron Hosley with size and athleticism.
How about Dabo the doofus dropping 11 into coverage on 3rd down? He must be trying to help a friend out w money on VT.
Great comeback by Penn State, even bigger choke job by Wisconsin.
