Growing up in Buffalo I didn't have one...I was a Bills and Sabres guy as soon as I could walk and talk. I liked Michigan and almost went to undergrad there, but then I was accepted at UNC-Chapel Hill, visited, and the rest was history. So UNC is my favorite team, but since I went to grad school at UB I also pull for the Bulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always good but it’s really hard to make it to the last 4 so I don’t ever write in any team in “permanent marker.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style points are going to be big this week and with Fields playing hurt it’s hard to say how that game will go. Wisky sacked him 5 times 6 weeks ago. Pass pro from the OTs is the one weak spot. If he has limited mobility it will get interesting. He’s going to wear a knee brace but I’m concerned. Don’t want to see Chugs unless it’s at the end.

And the committee has it set up for osu to stay there by putting Wisky at 8, only dropping Michigan one spot, and by dropping bama to 12.

row_33 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 how does seeding matter for the playoff? i would prefer to avoid Clemson because nobody expected last year's steamroll and nobody has a clue how elite they honestly are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need Fields to be spectacular. He needs to be efficient and make plays with his arm on 3rd down. Dobbins needs to keep them ahead of the chains on the early downs. If UGA can keep it close we won’t see it move IMO. If LSU dominates and OSU doesn’t we may see a flip flop Sunday Morning. I’m really hoping that isn’t the case.

I expect the defense to rise up considerably from last week. Outside of Taylor, Wisconsin is less talented at the skill positions than Michigan and we have Wade and Arnett back this week so won’t be throwing raw corners out there again. On a fast track indoors the speed difference should be evident. Day said they sent video to the big 10 about the uncalled holding that took place on Young last week so that should curb that stuff a bit. The OL is other huge key to this game. The interior OL has been amazing and needs to continue, the OTs need to take it up a notch but they are finally healthy. The bottom line is that Fields has answered the bell every week, hurt or not, but he needs to be kept clean on Sat if they want the best chance at the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, pretty fun one to look back on. Lotta crazy stuff happens in college football throughout the course of a season! FWIW, the college sub-forum always has a lot of good discussion. It’s interesting because we have a bunch of different fan bases represented. You get to hear perspective on other teams from those that are way more informed on them. Additionally, it’s a great place to hear about draft prospects. We can read all we want about these kids but it’s always interesting to hear what those who followed closest think. As an example at some point I’m sure we will have @BillfromNYC and @BillsFanCRNA discussing the differences between the 3 Alabama WRs. I think that the Bills go WR in round 1 and I think all 3 Bama guys go in that round. To me, I know basically what each of them does well but my knowledge is very surface level. I’d love to hear them talking about what separates them from each other. Edited December 7, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 When I watch Hurts play, he reminds me so much of EJ Manuel.
