2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

IU exposed our weakness. Miami exploited it.

I also heard 'there were no other teams that could exploit our o-line like IU did!!!!!!!' I totally disagreed with that naive assessment. And here we are...

I thought other d lines could expose us but I didn't think any had the secondary to do to Sayin what Indiana did. Turns out I was right I just didn't expect Sayin to still be seeing the same ghosts Indiana had him seeing when people were open vs Miami.

One of those games where total yardage is close but turnovers are making it look much worse. How many times have we been victims of this in big games? I can think of a few in the past few seasons.

I think we are under selling the Miami secondary. They were very good.

I’ll be honest.

I don’t think Tate will workout per usual in the NFL. I think he should’ve come back. He’s going to get drafted but I think he’s going to take a year to get going.

Not that many lol.

Alabama 2021 and maybe Florida 2007.

Edit- USC 2008 too

Funny the announcers mention Georgia killing Oregon. How about us just last season. Are these hacks from the SEC? Nobody gives a shit about what Georgia did ESPN.

We weren't 'as good as we thought we were.'

We got exposed.

Finesse doesn't fare well against what we are seeing. I love Day, but he needs to learn that trenches and in this case o-line are very very important.

I was thinking some big conference losses too.

My GUESS is the IU run will end v Miami.

But I have my doubts as to being dogmatic.

Ok I suppose Purdue and Iowa. Also Iowa 2004 as well

Huh? Because he was held out until absolutely necessary and then played at 70%?

Tate was wide open quite a few plays against Miami him having a quiet game was on Sayin not him. Besides the uncharistic drops at the end

Tate will be a mid first rounder this year. If he came back, he’d be a mid first rounder next year.

Chip lost to Oregon and Michigan, no?

Fair. I guess the point is they were a tweak or two away this year.

I know a coach who used to require a 2 year commitment...

Vrabel and Grinch were here 1 year.
Urban also had a number of Tim Beck and Billy Davis types that stayed 2 years.

He's actually getting mocked around 8-10 now that changes a lot with testing but as long as he doesn't bomb the combine he's top 20
