The expanded College Football Playoff off to a rough start

I think Georgia's D is the best I've seen ND play this year.

It's a really likable team. They had that awful loss to NIU and they could've folded. They've had a bunch of injuries and could've folded. People were calling for Riley Leonard's head. They play old school physical football on both sides and are extremely well coached. I really want them to win the whole thing.
 
When Duke with Riley Leonard blew us out in 2023 it was a real down day. But watching how he is making all the plays needed for the Irish vs Georgia it just goes to show you how important having a dynamic QB is. Freeman and his coordinators have coached a great game. Al Golden as DC is still making a difference.

The NIU game was a bit of a flukey game early in the season.

My high school football captain is a Defensive analyst and Analytics Coordinator at Penn State. Gotta root for them.

Need to use them as a model, yes I know we don't have the ND football history but we have the UConn brand.

When UConn is good they are physical on both sides and play smashmouth on offense. We're not going to have some of the athletes as the better programs but you can go pretty far with great coaching and physicality. Notre Dame doesn't have the athletes Georgia does and they just whipped their butts physically.

I was a Notre Dame fan only for tonights game. Now I hope that Ohio St destroys Texas and Penn St beats the Irish.

Screw the SEC

Conversely, I think I'm rooting for Texas, although I could deal with a tOSU NC. But living in Pittsburgh, there's absolutely, positively no way I can root for PSU. And ND, an NC for them justifies their remaining independent, which I believe hurts us as far as joining a P4 (although I'll admit making the semifinal probably does the same).

Can’t consider Texas an SEC school. Southwest Conference all the way.

Unless UGA turns it around, all 4 teams with byes will lose their only games.

Somehow, this will be used as justification that the selection process and seeding was a success.

I’ve never been a fan of anything UT and I’ve never heard that rumor. Not saying it’s not true, just don’t remember ever hearing it. I always root for the underdog in these playoffs anyway since I don’t have a dog in the fight.

I doubt U of A would be against UConn they were devastated losing UCLA and adding UConn would salve the wound
This ASU president is more concerned with raising their academic profile than sports and we would help in that regard.

I can't root for PSU either. I was in a club the other night watching the PSU/Boise State game and a women came up to me and asked me who I was rooting for. Instinctively, I told her Boise State since I can't stand PSU. She was a bit shocked since she was a PSU grad. I used to follow them when they were known as linebacker U but the Sandusky issues and an annoying in-law who went to PSU changed all that.
 
If SMU got the death penalty for paying players, PSU should have received the death penalty as well.
