College Football Championship Weekend Thread

JT039 : 12/1/2023 5:57 am
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

Terrible D by Washington

Reason these college games take so long is that they take forever reviewing obvious confirmations and reversals.
I would go onsides  
MookGiants : 12/1/2023 11:33 pm : link
here. If you give up a first down the game is almost certainly over anyways, i'd like to at least get a shot at an onsides kick
This is some PAC-12 football

Right here. Defense disappears when the game is on the line.

has to decline this.
Wtf

Is the safety doing there? How are you not playing up?
you can't take that penalty  
MookGiants : 12/1/2023 11:38 pm : link
I know it gained 7 yards, but it gets you an extra timeout. You have to decline it
They should decline this penalty...

No it’s not. Stupid decision
how do announcers not mention the mistake taking that penalty?  
Eric on Li : 12/1/2023 11:41 pm : link
game is over now. 80 seconds / 108 left gone now.
I wonder if McMillan  
santacruzom : 12/1/2023 11:41 pm : link
will enter the draft, and if so, what round he'd go in. He had a huge year last year and produced well in the only games he played this season.

You can support all you want. The odds of recovering the kick are miniscule. Add in that field position matters in a 3 point game - stupid decision.
I feel pretty confident...

Ah ok. Not the reason why they lost. But lanning has shown to be a poor in game manager when it matters.

I understand the joke, but I went to a PAC-12 school and it disappoints me greatly to see this conference disappear after tonight.

Next year the conference is dead, but it isn’t yet.

The odds of stopping them was quite low. As we saw. That’s why it was worth taking a chance.
I just hope

Washington’s defense can show up in the playoff. Sounds cliche but I wanna see the best of the best, no blowouts hopefully

The odds would have been the same from the 40 or the 20. Back them and take your chances. Period

Embarrassing. OL or Johnson for sure.

Penix is a lazy choice...
Penix's share of yards gained on UW scoring drives  
shyster : 12/2/2023 12:23 am : link
FG 3-0 (36 of 54)
TD 10-0 (16 of 50)
TD 17-3 (71 of 75)
FG 20-3 (55 of 64)
TD 27-24 (60 of 75)
TD 34-24 (65 of 82)

Except for the first TD drive, UW's scoring drives were almost all Penix.

I have no position on Penix's draft status, but he was clearly the MVP of this game.

You try to recover the onside kick. That’s your best chance. Particularly with the wat the defense was playing.
I don't know what the success rate  
MookGiants : 12/2/2023 12:26 am : link
of onsides kicks in college football was this year but from 2014-2020 it was about a 23% success rate.

That 23% success rate is exactly why you try it. You're automatically assuming they will never get it which is dumb. The reward for getting it is plenty worth the risk of 20 yards. If you ever get it you don't have to worry about getting a stop.

I really dont see the argument for kicking it deep in college. NFL I do, not college.

If you kick it deep and they get one first down the game is over. Why wouldn’t you take a shot at getting the ball back? 10/10 times there you onside kick it. Washington isn’t trying to score so the field position point is irrelevant. They’re running twice and maybe throwing it on third down at the sticks.

I came out of this game still liking both QBs for the Giants. I'd have both behind Daniels, but I'd have Daniels in a tier above everybody on his own. After that they're bunched up, in my eyes.
