Oregon vs Washington tonight. Oregon is the better team right now. Washington clipped them earlier. Should be a fun matchup with Penix and Nix slinging it. Lot of good WRs as well.

Here’s a hypothetical scenario. You’re winners this weekend:
Washington
Michigan
FSU
Bama
Texas

If this is this case - No SEC in the final 4? Hmmmm

Because the ACC is a cupcake conference compared to the SEC… and I’m an NC St guy. Top 4 regardless of tonite should be:

Michigan
Washington
Texas
Alabama

The NCAA gods waited 1 year too long to expand the playoffs, and it serves them right for the flack they’ll now deal with.

FSU has beaten two SEC teams this year.

Neither of these teams looked worthy
To be honest alot of people are kinda sick of all the slurpage the SEC gets
I don't know what will happen, but I firmly believe Bama and Texas  
PatersonPlank : 12/2/2023 7:40 pm : link
are two of the top four teams in the country. If the goal is top pit the four best against each other, then they have to be in.

The SEC has been the best college football conference for 25+ years. And it still is.

Appreciate the greatness.

FSU is not among the 4 best teams.  
BigBlueNH : 12/2/2023 7:57 pm : link
But if they win tonight, do you think they get left out over a 1-loss team. I don't. But I guess we'll see.

BTW, Louisville is not a top 25 team. FSU should beat them handily, even with a 3rd string QB. If they don't, ya then they're out.

FSU will likely win because of (1) they are going to be emotionally charged and (2) their D should be good enough to handle most of the heavy lifting tonight.
FSU’s D is legit

Yeah right. Not worthy.

The SEC would be considered a weak conference this year, except of course for all the rest.

They’re not the 85 bears. They’re good. Michigan offense is bland and boring which is Taylor made for a game like this. Michigan OL isn’t as good as people think and their WRs don’t scare anyone.

I’m pretty sure you’ve made these same comments on every single Michigan game these past three weeks.

It’s a run first offense and right now the Michigan receivers aren’t making plays. The throw to Loveland was a good play. He needs to catch that

FSU QB

is just not ready to play. Not understanding he cannot take a sack in FG range.

They may need go to more wildcat.

You’re a homer. Their offense isn’t good. Their tackles are very poor. They are without Zinter now. They are ultra conservative. Their offense is too slow to compete with the other teams.

Defense is very very good. But they need more offense. Instead of worrying about running it all year - they should have been more open earlier in the season and work on their pass game.

Their OL got dominated in the first half in the pass game against PSU and Iowa is feasting on him.

Not with this QB. Rodemaker probably back by then. But I understand the sentiment.
I also do not like the play calls by Norvell. That mesh handoff he kept calling in the 1st quarter was useless.

They just aren't the same team with Travis. Which is unfortunate because he was having a brilliant year.

If the committee applies an eye test, so they say, then FSU is failing enormously on the offensive side of the ball.

Jim Harbaugh’s offenses tend not to do well without a decent running game. Their inability to establish the run has been a challenge today.

Let’s see how the second half goes.

but this is with a 3rd string QB playing his first game. the 2nd string QB will be back for the playoffs. not exactly fair to apply the eye test to this game (although point taken, they are not really in the same league as some of the other top teams).

Michigan OL is as bad as the Giants' OL. They can't pass protect, and as someone said, it's made their offense ultra-conservative. Michigan is a run heavy, defensive, oriented team. That won't work in the playoffs.
To show how bad Michigans OL is  
JT039 : 12/2/2023 10:19 pm : link
Corum has 1 game out of his last 7 averaging more than 4 YPC.
Edwards has averaged 3.4 YPC all year.

That just won’t get it done if they win tonight against the playoff teams.

this whole championship business is a phony made for tv event. The sporting press bitched and moaned about coaches polls and AP polls and so now they have a “selection committee” which is nothing but another poll by a tiny group.

The ratings have been dropping and are down 30 or 40% from where they were 10 years ago.

Watch Alabama get dropped because they are old hat and everyone is sick of seeing them in the phony- baloney playoffs and the ratings are down.
