zow2 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Phew. I’m thanking Saban for Bama taking the knee at the end. Safely covered OK +14 because of that. The crowd who bet the over must’ve been so angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You know, after watching the watered-down NFL with not one team even close to being great in years, it just makes me appreciate the total dominance of Alabama all that much more. I am still surprised though as to how a relatively marginal program like Clemson got to be so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is an accurate description of the game but not unusual. Alabama has as many weapons as any team I have ever seen. And Coach Saban is always happy to run the football. Their defense is good, but NOT one of the better Alabama defensive units, not even close. The Clemson QB is great, but he is a freshman.

row_33 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 That makes it 8 of 10 playoff semifinals that have been a totally noncompetitive waste of time It’s like women’s hockey, two teams (Canada and the US) are clearly the best and can play against each other and they both win 18-0 over every other country.

Doc Brown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Notre Dame is better than they played today, but they need to join the ACC to even be considered for a playoff game in the future. Expand playoffs to eight games that include winners of all Power 5 conference games and the three best teams the committee feels are worthy. Add an amendment to the US Constitution that it must never be more than eight playoff teams after this. Must not be an Independent team to qualify. I think the positives outweighs the negatives. Makes all of the Power 5 conference championship games more exciting, helps eliminate the posers in the first round leading to better Semifinal matchups, will only slightly lessen importance of regular season games, can lead to "Cinderella" stories, increases revenue, and less teams cry that didn't get in. They'll still be pressure on the committee, but not as much. Work out the scheduling problems that an extra week brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 10 semifinals played, only 2 have been decent matchups There simply isn’t enough talent in the game to justify even 4 teams playing, 8 would be a total farce every season it is objectively obvious which is the best team or two, a third may show up very very rarely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
