Playoff Bracket

[KryHavok]

Was listening to a podcast which stated that SMU has played in temps this season averaging 70+ degrees, yet tomorrow they'll play at Penn State where the temp will be in the 30s. Oh yeah, go Penn State! And I hope ND loses tonight.

Indiana has no business being here.

Didn't take but 30 min for my post to not age well.

Penn State up 28-0 at halftime versus SMU, I love it. Maybe SMU can call up their boosters to see if they pay for a few touchdowns.

 

[WestHartHusk]

That’s not gonna help the ACC, lol.

 

[Kolumbo]

I don't know if this is common or just a nittany ice cold move

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Anyone thinking Clemson gonna get smoked next game?

It can be hard to say in these games. I think Clemson is a little more stout defensively than the other teams that got run out, and I am not totally sure about Texas and how good they really are. I also think Clemson got a huge schedule break in their league this year and may not have even made it to their conference championship had it been different. I could see Clemson hanging around for a bit and getting worn out as it goes on.

I don't hate Texas the way I hate the ACC, so if Texas can stomp on Clemson and remove the ACC from the CFP today, I would be very happy.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

Horns are rolling as we speak. If Clemson can't stop the run, this can get ugly in a hurry. ACC is getting face stomped today, and it is a good day.

 

[How Sway?!]

Actually want Texas to lose otherwise the SEC cronies will never shut up about them deserving more teams in the field. Already hearing it regarding SMU.

 

[superjohn]

These games all suck.

At the moment you can say the same thing about Tennessee.

 

[AllHusky]

Whew, the Vols are reeling

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Whew, the Vols are reeling

It looks like the officials are doing what they can to keep Tennessee in the game.

 

[UConnDan97]

I think these games are going to show what I've always thought: that SEC teams are going to really struggle in the cold.

At the very least, the new playoff system forces a couple of them to play in the cold for once...

 

[Vowelguy]

Am hoping Ohiost destroys Tenn so Kiffin et al will have to shut up about the SEC.

 

[gioff2323]

But we’ve also seen how overrated Indiana and SMU were. It’ll be interesting to see what changes are made going forward

 

[Vowelguy]

While I like the conf champs getting a first round bye, I wouldn’t mind reseeding after round 1

12 ASU v 1 Oregon at Rose
5 ND v 4 PennSt at Peach
6 Ohiost v 3 Texas at Fiesta
9 Boise v 2 Georgia at Sugar

So then Tenn is overrated too?

 

[Buffett10]

Did you expect anything different considering for the most part the semi final games since they 4 team playoffs started have been blowouts?

I think that will ease over time as players realize they don’t have to go to bama/clem/ga to be in the playoff now that 12 teams make it.
Also NIL.

 

[Jimdish255]

It's good to be the home team in these playoffs for sure. But Ohio State isn't going to be a pushover in the Rose Bowl against Oregon. Tonight was a beatdown.

I do wonder how ticket distribution works for the next round. The 4 bye teams don't get a home game but do they get home team considerations or anything at all aside from the bye?

 

[TheDrifter75]

All this crying about Indiana and they lost by the least of all teams in the first round.
