It will be tough.  I can easily see them lose to Virginia Tech, Navy, or even Syracuse.

I think we saw today what you do against Cuse. It seemed Clemson finally understood to just run the ball at the end of the game. I see ND doing the same, and will expose them with play action. I find navy so annoying with their triple option, but this is the first time in a long time we have a defense that can dominate the game, and I even think the talent on that side will be too much for Navy. I’m not that worried as a fan of the Irish vs navy.

 

But, like you said, them going to Blacksburg worries me. I watched the Old Dominion game, and they had issues with Big body WRs, VA tech that is. I can see Boykin having a day against them.  These next few weeks are going to be a lot of fun.

Even if the Buckeyes lost last night they would still be more likely to go to the Playoff than Penn State this morning

 

 

 

 

 

True

 

If Penn St had won last night and gone on to an undefeated B1G Championship, the committee would still find a way to elevate Ohio St

Which is why college football is, in the end, a sham of a farce of a fraud.

Based on what? The time penn State had two losses, one a blowout to Michigan who wasn’t even good, and got left out? Yep that’s the same as going undefeated. ? I don’t get this narrative from psu fans that they deserved a playoff berth that year. OSU got in because they had one close loss on the road on a fluke blocked kick. You know this. Don’t lose twice. OSU won the big ten last year and got left out for the same reason, remember? Did the committee find a way to elevate them last year? They could have justified it but did not.

the immortals can call on a mulligan if need be any given year

 

Penn State will lose at Michigan, and tOSU will steamroll Michigan

 

 

it's a fun triangle

I seem to be the only person who thought the worse play call was on 2nd and 14.  They only needed a field goal, yet they threw a low percentage bomb.  Now, their backs are against the wall at 3rd and 14.  They were in 4 down territory.  Pick up 5 yards a pop and you got your first down.

You guarantee five yards every time, LOL

The selection committee has demonstrated a bias for Alabama and Ohio St

 

A bias that could be compensated by expanding the playoff field to 8 or 16

 

They won’t extend this into late January 

 

maybe once every five years a third team is worth consideration for a playoff

And in a few years the FBS will see a drop off in fans who grow tired of the annual ritual of a pairing two teams from among Clemson, Alabama, Ohio St and maybe once in a while they'll throw in a cameo by some other school

An average of 5 each time.  Not guaranteed, but likely and much more likely than throwing a bomb and then facing 3rd and 14.

 

McSorley averaged 7 yards per carry.

Doesnt mean a thing when it comes to crunch time

  It will not be much fun watching a 3-loss 8th seed get scalped 56-0 by a legit top 2 team, no matter how much they hype it up

 

rhe Bowl season is still strong to the Alumni, the playoff matters to fans of a handful of serious teams and non-alumni who see college as existing solely to provide them with hyped football games for their amusement

Do you like the 2nd and 14 call of a bomb?  Do you not think, given all the circumstances, that getting some positive yardage was paramount?

Penn State runs a tinker toy option with third rate gimmicks tossed in, its more like 7 on 7 rugby to me than playing real football

 

Looks good on them to have two horrible calls in the most important series of the season

True.  But the cumulative boredom of all those blowouts could be offset in that one season when the #8 ranked non-power 5 school shocks the #1 powerhouse in triple OT

I really don't understand the above. Alabama won titles and continues to win games.

 

Please, list the teams who were better than Alabama and were deprived of a playoff spot.

I see your point Yolo. I thought that Ohio State was going to be voted in last year but they obviously were not. If there was a pro OSU bias, the committee would have overlooked the second loss and tossed them right in there.
