my opinion is he is just proud of how hard we were hitting. not that there was an intentional "take their running back out" strategy.

but no matter what his true intentions were, what he said was definitely B.S. (saying it's a good thing taking out gallman and that it helped us)

10/24/2016 2:39:00 PM

was that before or after lville did the same thing to dayes

10/24/2016 2:56:55 PM

holy shit that offensive lineman on the end around

10/27/2016 9:44:37 PM

If the Cavs beat the Cards, that's salt in our wounds from our horrendous loss last week.

10/29/2016 2:14:08 PM

it actually ties us with lville so its pretty good.

10/29/2016 2:15:52 PM

Who has the tie breaker?

10/29/2016 2:17:29 PM

luckyville survives

10/29/2016 3:34:48 PM

man I guess big 12 really felt they were at a disadvantage in the playoffs but having a championship game without even having divisions seems pretty stupid to me, they should have just added to two schools but obviously a few of the more influential schools managed to kill that for selfish reasons I suppose

10/29/2016 7:55:17 PM

Clemson just locked up a playoff spot barring a loss to VT in the ACCCG

FSU gone rape us mayne

10/30/2016 12:22:59 AM

As expected, Nebraska lost. Ohio State struggled again this week, fortunately for them so did Louisville.

The big 12 is out after Baylor and WV both shat the bed.

Pretty easy to rank the top 4 this week:
1 - Alabama
2 - Michigan
3 - Clemson
4 - Washington

10/30/2016 11:14:31 AM

What the fuck? TAMU at 4 over Washington? God the SEC dick sucking will never cease.

11/1/2016 9:41:22 PM

they do this every year. washington will leapfdog if they win the conference

11/2/2016 3:46:57 AM

Everyone knows now that these ranking systems are total BS and mean absolutely nothing they are there for water cooler and sports radio talk and to get people to tune in and thats pretty much it. They have proven over and over they are a total sham and they just throw random scenarios around to get people talking until the final week.

11/2/2016 8:29:00 AM

^what he said. definitely done so that the show can actually last an hour with discussion. is a conspiracy still a conspiracy when you know its a conspiracy???

11/2/2016 8:34:16 AM

TAMU has a better SOS, more wins vs ranked teams, and more wins vs teams with winning records. Washington got nothing. Seemed like a fairly straightforward result. And as others said, if Washington wins out, they'd leap frog TAMU.

11/2/2016 8:39:37 AM

Louisville got straight fucked.....

If they wanted to do this realistically they should simply be projecting out for the rest of the season if everyone wins all their games this is where we would expect them to be. We all know thats how it actually works so by not doing it then its pretty clear they are just intentionally trying to create talking points which is why a lot of us could care less what these things say we know how it works haha.

11/2/2016 10:47:27 AM

Everybody bitched, but the BCS was not actually a bad system. It avoided a lot of this stupid shit by taking people out of it. It got worse when they started doing shit like using the coaches poll. It was a remarkably good way of picking the 2 best teams.

This will all shake out fairly well, I'm pretty sure it's going to be an easy call for the committee when it actually matters.

11/3/2016 10:14:04 PM

by TAM. was a joke to by #4 in the first place.

for selfish reasons, i'm interested to see how the committee handles the G5 spot. everyone assumes western michigan is in the drivers seat because of the undefeated record. but i think a 2 loss AAC champ has a legit shot at taking the cotton from an undefeated WMU. the difference between AAC and MAC is a lot bigger than that of the ACC and AAC.

yeh. but it's never been advertised as such. it's always been clearly defined as how the teams rank to date, if the season ended today. It's cleaner than projecting, and like you said, provides those who want to talk, something to talk about. There's enough subjectivity in the process already; adding in projections would make every SEC and UNC fans' head explode.

I think we should get serious consideration for the playoffs. We're almost 8-1.

11/7/2016 4:13:55 PM

Nick Saban's career is chock full of moral losses

We need to do with myers throwing to hines.

11/12/2016 7:00:54 PM

wonder if Chris Blewit (yes that's really his name) NC States this game for pitt

11/12/2016 7:25:24 PM

the return of Clemsoning

11/12/2016 7:28:02 PM

blewitt is stone cold. what a kick.

11/12/2016 7:31:03 PM

clemsons still going to get in

11/12/2016 7:31:38 PM

Better against Pitt than UNC should VT continue to blow it and let them in.

11/12/2016 7:31:56 PM

Kick so pretty

11/12/2016 7:35:39 PM

shoulda been us man

11/12/2016 7:37:41 PM

Clemson should only fall to 4 but i wouldn't be surprised if they put clemson behind ohio state and louisville in the rankings next week and then have them jump up to 4 if they win the acc championship because of the stupid way they rank the teams.

11/12/2016 7:38:35 PM

That shoulda been us, with our kicker named blewitt, kick it wide

11/12/2016 7:45:59 PM

refs were p shitty in the clemson game. couple of very questionable flags directly lead to two Pitt TDs.

but then again the refs were super shitty and hurt us when we played clemson so fuck clemson

11/12/2016 8:47:35 PM

Pittsburgh
Iowa
Wake Forest
USC

shakin it up

11/12/2016 9:53:46 PM

fucking herbstreight just said ohio state wanted michigan to win, thats nonsense right??

11/12/2016 11:33:01 PM

And the cfbp committee just shit their pants

11/12/2016 11:34:00 PM

beating #3 michigan was the path to the playoff for ohio state. now they might lose a tiebreak to penn state.

Louisville is back in contention now that they held off the wake upset.

Oklahoma must be smiling wide watching all the dominoes fall.

11/12/2016 11:35:51 PM

^^but wouldnt ohio state just be in a coin flip tiebreaker in the event of a 3 way tie??

Quote :

"1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other. PSU eliminated 2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division. all same 3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, 6, and 7). all same 4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents. all same 5. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative. all same 6. The representative will be chosen by random draw. "

i mean i guess coin flip is better than if just psu and osu are tied, so i guess thats right.

11/12/2016 11:43:09 PM

I swear, if I have to hear about the "depth of the Big Ten" this week I'm going to throw up all over myself.

What a shit conference. 3 good teams, 2 wildly overrated teams, and a bunch of utter shit teams.

If we don't end up with Alabama vs. Louisville this year then we need to either scrap or expand the playoffs. Those are clearly the 2 best teams and Louisville might get left out of a 4 team playoff.

11/13/2016 12:56:00 AM

^you can say that about every conference. b1g is as solid as any

11/13/2016 9:51:36 AM

That would be true if they didn't perform poorly against other power 5 teams almost every year. Their bowl record is almost never good and will be ugly again this season.

The big ten is the 3rd best conference this year but they get an undue amount of credit because the top is usually elite. The middle of that conference is just bad this year.

11/13/2016 11:12:41 AM

With how heavily they rank conference championships, talk is yesterday didn't really change much.

11/13/2016 12:21:48 PM

alabam
clemson
ohio state/michigan
washington/louisville

I'm asssuming they will rank louisville 3rd this week and have them magically fall when the other teams win their conference.

11/13/2016 12:38:17 PM

Yep

11/13/2016 12:41:28 PM

It will be

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Louisville

11/13/2016 1:24:56 PM

Looks like Clemson will be the ACC's only hope.

11/17/2016 9:32:58 PM

overhyped ass team

11/17/2016 9:39:00 PM

I thought Louisville was legit too

11/17/2016 11:04:03 PM

was it the courageous win over duke, cardiac comeback against wake or the miracle at virginia that did it for you?
