Who to root for on Champion Saturday for maximum chaos?

[Zerostatic]

I don’t really follow cfb too much outside of UConn. I was wondering who to root for today to create the most chaos, both for the conferences that spurned us (ACC and Big 12) and the two big boys as well (SEC and B1G).

Also, any games that could impact UConn as far as potential P4 invite or bowl game!

SMU losing would be funny because Bama might vault over them.

The B1G is going to get a bunch of teams in but Sandusky U winning over Oregon would be funny. Probably won't happen.

Nobody cares what happens in the Big 12

Texas beating Georgia would be amusing.

There isn’t the opportunity for “Major” chaos as because of the move away from divisions the teams playing today are almost all in the bracket already.

Clemson beating SMU tonight in Charlotte is the “Chaos” result you’re looking for - Clemson isn’t in the field and won’t be unless they win tonight. That takes away an at-large spot and likely leads to a SMU/Alabama debate for the final at large.

Winner of Iowa State/Arizona State is in, loser is out
Winner of Texas/UGA is the 2 seed, loser is probably the 7 or 8
Winner of Oregon/Penn State is the 1 seed, loser is the 5

Had Boise lost last night there would’ve been a debate between UNLV/Army/Big 12 champ for the final 2 “conference champion” auto-bids”, however Army won’t jump ISU/ASU winner beating an unranked Tulane last night and Boise won so no chaos scenario there.

Is there anyway no team from the ACC makes the field. Just asking for a friend.

SMU doesn’t deserve to be there…they got a lucky schedule…didn’t play Miami, Clemson or Syracuse during their regular season. Their best win is Louisville?

I think Clemson wins the game..and SMU should not be in the mix for the playoffs. Bama wouls smoke them.

 

[Kolumbo]

If Clemson wins the chaos would be between the ACC and the Big 12, who gets the 4th bye. I believe.

Pitt was looking like it might challenge for the ACC crown when they went down to play SMU. They were 7-0. Eli Holstein was a top 20 QB.

Holstein had PTSD after that game (3 sacks, 3 fumbles). SMU absolutely destroyed Pitt in every way. SMU certainly looked more legit than Clemson did vs Pitt. And Pitt destroyed Cuse, giving up only 13 pts to McCord & Co.

Watching Iowa St vs ASU... I guess nobody's calling PI today.

This Big 12 championship has been entertaining.

I guess we will see. I haven’t watched a lot of SMU this year, but looking at their schedule, it looks rather favorable.

Became a blowout. Sparky looks impressive.

No. No way Clemson is behind army

 

[HCCForever]

This Big 12 championship has been entertaining.

I loved the ASU call in first quarter. Fourth down in their territory and they complete long pass. Second half became non -competitive. Great unexpected season for ASU.

 

[ScottVib]

So if Beck is injured does a potentially 3 loss Georgia without their starter fall like FSU last year?

 

[Skiblets]

Texas getting a ‘welcome to the sec boys’ by the refs so far.

 

[Husky92]

Of course not. They’re SEC.

Magic 8 ball says "SEC".

 

[HCCForever]

And Sark was not too pleased, showing his displeasure talking to sideline reporter at end of half. Weird game. Texas has more yards, but INT and penalties appears to even it out.

 

[CTBasketball]

Looking like Clemson will beat SMU. Oregon likely will handle Penn St. Arizona St already in. Texas lost to Georgia.

If SMU gets bounced for Alabama tear the whole thing down.

SMU has cut the lead to 10.

 

[storrsroars]

SMU has cut the lead to 10.

And is in FG range.

But they do need receivers to stop dropping balls. SMU had six drops all season. Already five drops in this game.

 

[storrsroars]

31-31. You can't take SMU out of the 12.

16 seconds for Clemson do something in regulation.

 

[storrsroars]

Holy hell. Clemson gets a good kickoff return, runs one play to set up a 56 yard FG and the bastards make it.

Great game, especially fun 4th quarter.

 

[Tdaley]

Crazy win by Clemson

 

[UCFBfan]

That ACC game finish was WILD!!!! Let the chaos ensue over SMU or Bama

Clemson is going to get smoked by whoever they play in the playoffs

Maybe Pitt just isn’t that good.
