2017 College Football Playoffs (and Other Bowl Games)

[Gothmog8]

Continuing to travel down memory lane ...

2015 Buckeyes had 132 yds against Sparty playing at home!
Sparty had 294 yds playing their 2nd/3rd String qb's.

But yes, imo if 2015 Buckeyes played 2015 'bama they win 9 out of 10 times. Even in the frickin' Sugar Bowl!

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year! ~ Dandy Don Meredith


MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! *** HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

carry on ...

That game... I don't remember anything other than 1) cold ass rain 2) cold ass air 3) no Zeke.

STARTS @ 2. They have to jerk off for an hour.

What's the argument for Alabama over UCF? The committee values avoided bad losses. UCF has none Alabama lost it's biggest game convincingly to Auburn. UCF biggest win is #20, Alabama's is #17. UCF won a conference title, Alabama didn't win it's division.

Committee seems consistent

They beat 20 twice as well

Time to go to 8 team playoff, the last 3 years are proof of that now.

They are proof of anything but.

 

[OhioState001]

They beat 20 twice as well

Yep and USF is a quailty win

I am comfortable with how this ended up, but the truth is that we were not left out because we lost by 31 to Iowa. We were left out because we were a two loss team that lost by 31 to Iowa. We got left out because we lost to Oklahoma. The message from the committee is don't schedule the big dogs.

Never thought I'd say this, but I am liking Jesse Palmer today.

And F Herbie, I knew i'd say that one though

I'd love an 8 team playoff, with the first 4 games played at the home of the higher seed. Let's see those southern boys play in Columbus in December.

pretty much guarantees osu vs. usc in fiesta. only other possibility that makes some sense is osu vs. tcu in cotton.

S-E-C! S-E-C!

That's gonna leave a mark.

OSU beats #6, #9, #16. All ranked higher than LSU at #17

Oh by the way we smoked #16 while Alabama squeaked by

There are one too many teams in the playoffs this season, not 4 too few.

I agree that the playoffs need to be expanded but I think the magic number is six teams. Eight is bit too diluted for my liking. The number eight team will likely get plungered every year. However, there is a chance that team can win it all but that might happen once every ten years. Not enough excitement for me in my IMO.

I was looking over the Buckeyes future schedules hoping we can avoid the Bama cupcake OOC. I looked at 2019 and saw the following OOC schedule for the Bucks:

FAU
Cinci
Miami (Ohio)

My first thought was no way (even if they run the table) they get in the playoffs with that OOC schedule. After the committee's decision today, I'm not concerned about that anymore.
