My brief-look predictions for the 5 major conference bowl records (including the NC game):

SEC 9-2
Pac 12 7-3
Big 10 3-7
ACC 2-7
Big XII 1-7

:D

I wonder what would have happened in Clemson would have lost. UNC got dicked on that offsides call, where they were not offsides. If Clemson loses that game, their resume is probably as good if not worse than Iowa's. Iowa ended up at #5. Would it have been crazy if the committee gave Iowa the #4 spot in that scenario? They certainly feel like the Big 10 is the best conference this year.

[keg in kc]

Big 10 3-7I wouldn't be surprised if the big10 won more than 3 games on new years day.

I certainly know Michigan's got a pushover... :D

[The Franchise]

I don't know how to feel about playing Ohio State.

[Pablo]

I wouldn't be surprised if the big10 won more than 3 games on new years day.

I certainly know Michigan's got a pushover... :DMichigan needs to hit that elusive 10 point threshold to beat Florida. Gaytors might get a kick return and a FG to push it to OT though.

I only see the Big 12 winning one game. That is one god awful conference at least in football. I think Oklahoma has a chance to beat Clemson, but I'd give the nod to Clemson. Oregon is going to beat the living shit out of TCU. Baylor is playing an overrated ACC school in UNC but they have virtually no shot of winning still.

One of the biggest lopsided bowls I expect to see is Ole Miss. Ole Miss should destroy Oklahoma State. I really think Ole Miss is probably one of the Top 5 teams in the country, just lost some games they shouldn't have. Florida is overrated and Mich should beat them but it might be close because of Florida's D.

We should set up a bowl pickem, where we all donate some money, and the Top 3 take some of the dough. Lemme know if interested, sounds fun. Should be easy money since we can watch alot of the Big 12 football homers on this board ignite into flames.

While I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion of BWillie's intelligence, what in his post was so stupid to you? Oregon should beat TCU quite handily given TCU's injuries not to mention the fact that Oregon is just a better football team, UNC should beat a decimated Baylor team, and Ole Miss should destroy the most overrated team in college football.

Because his opinion is ridiculous.

In what way is Oregon better than TCU? Be specific.

Also, lolz @ him saying Ole Miss is a top 5 team. They got stomped by Florida. They lost to Pig Aggie as well. They also lost to a mid-major.

[Saul Good]

Baylor -3
Tech +7
Oklahoma -3.5
Oklahoma State +6.5
KSU +13
TCU pick
West Virginia +1

If both QBs are healthy for TCU and Oregon, I think that position is even. Oregon has a better RB and running game. TCU has a dynamic receiver, but I think Oregon has enough team speed to defend the spread and slow down TCU's offense enough to secure a win.

At the end of the season, Oregon was just plain playing better football than TCU. I know you'll blame it on TCU's injuries, but looking at TCU's schedule they feasted on a very weak early schedule and used that coupled with last years performance to garner a ranking they never deserved. They don't have one impressive win this season whereas Oregon beat a very good Stanford team on the road.

Just my opinion, which I'm sure you'll respond to with something witty like "you're dumb".

[FloridaMan88]

The bowl system is messed up.

Two Mountain West teams playing each other in the same bowl game?

5-7 teams making bowl games?

No good.

Stanford is a decent team. You're overrating them because it suits your argument.

Oregon gives up far more yards than TCU does on defense and that's with playing in the Pac 12 (where the offenses are no where close to being as prolific as the Big 12). Their defense isn't going to stop TCU's offense.

TCU has a slight advantage. It will be a high scoring and close game.

Also, Boykin is a lot better than Oregon's QB.

Boykin will be 100%. Doctson is stil iffy.

[lewdog]

I called Iowa's last lost, so I'll call this one too.

Stanford wins.

You said they'd "get their shit pushed in"... it got pushed in so bad they were punished with a rose bowl bid.

So.....about that Baylor game.......

[Saul Good]

Mahomes for Texas Tech is a stud.

[notorious]

I just saw the box score for Baylor vs. NC.


Did Baylor really run the ball 84 times? Holy shit.

[Why Not?]

Mahomes for Texas Tech is a stud.

Yes he is. Also, LSU has a looooong way to go to get back to a national title contender

[KC native]

Mahomes for Texas Tech is a stud.

Yes, I'm glad TCU will be fielding a much better defense next year.

[Toby Waller]

I just saw the box score for Baylor vs. NC.

thats pretty pathetic. they kept running the ball up the middle and yet still won the game.

[LoneWolf]

Give Baylor credit. They came up with a genius game plan working around the losses of several talented offensive players and really took UNC by surprise. They played more physical than I thought they were capable of.

[Saul Good]

Tech just can't hang with LSU's athleticism. LSU hits hard on both sides of the ball, and Tech's players have been broken.

[BWillie]

Give Baylor credit. They came up with a genius game plan working around the losses of several talented offensive players and really took UNC by surprise. They played more physical than I thought they were capable of.

Maybe they should do this all the time, instead of playing like a bunch of vaginas all year. No clue how UNC couldn't stop them, just sell out the run, make their 9th string QB make some plays. Mind boggling.

In other news, Texas Tech represented the Big 12 well, got blown out by 31 points to LSU. Oregon vs TCU should be pretty funny.

LMAO

You have no clue because you don't know shit about college football.

[Saul Good]

Baylor was impressive. As much as anything, the ACC looks ridiculous. North Carolina has now lost to South Carolina and Baylor. They went undefeated in ACC regular season play.

Tech looked good for most of the game. LSU was just beating them to a pulp physically the entire game, and it took its toll in the second half. It looked very similar to the Tech game against Arkansas last year. By the end, LSU just took whatever they wanted. Had Mahomes not been amazing, that game could have been much, much more lopsided.

[displacedinMN]

Baylor has over 700 yards of offense.
Northern Illinois has 33

The Minnesota/Central Michigan game looked like an intersquad game.


The bowl system is messed up.

Two Mountain West teams playing each other in the same bowl game?

5-7 teams making bowl games?

No good.

Here is a good story about bowl games, finances and viewership. Mostly a Minnesota slant, but it proves that even at 6-7, you may not lose money going to a bowl.

http://www.startribune.com/bloated-bowl-season-a-bonus-for-gophers-bank-accounts/363566171/

[Saul Good]

aTm's QB is terrible. Wow.

Louisville's freshman QB is going to be a beast.

[notorious]

aTm's QB is terrible. Wow.




Didn't they run off two 5-star QB's, too?


Ouch.

[Saul Good]

Yep. They still damned near came back and won at the end. An (correctly) overturned call on that waived off a catch was the difference.

[LiveSteam]

JFC how do let a linebacker get 3 sacks in a row

[BWillie]

So after seeing the ACC do so badly in bowls, I now believe Oklahoma will beat Clemson. Good lord has the ACC been bad.

[notorious]

So after seeing the ACC do so badly in bowls, I now believe Oklahoma will beat Clemson. Good lord has the ACC been bad.

Depends on which OU team shows up today.


They can beat excellent teams, yet they can lose to shit (aka Texas).

If OU doesn't run the ball and falls back to their finesse ways, they deserve the ass raping that will be put upon them.

[alnorth]

TCU just lost their starting QB and a WR for their bowl game on Saturday.

He punched a cop in San Antonio outside a bar, and is now suspended and being charged with felony assault of a police officer.

[lcarus]

I'm not an OU fan really, but I feel like they're gonna beat the hell out of Clemson. Striker is a beast and I'd love it if the Chiefs got him in the draft.

[GloucesterChief]

Houston up 7-0 over FSU.

[Saul Good]

I'm not an OU fan really, but I feel like they're gonna beat the hell out of Clemson. Striker is a beast and I'd love it if the Chiefs got him in the draft.

Clemson absolutely pounded them last year. Oklahoma is going to be out for blood.

[notorious]

Sooooo, is the ACC just a huge pile of shit?

[GloucesterChief]

Sooooo, is the ACC just a huge pile of shit?

No, Houston is just really good. Maybe the best program in Texas this year.

[GloucesterChief]

Cook fumbles inside the 20. Houston ball.

[Sassy Squatch]

LMAO

[GloucesterChief]

21 -3. FSU's D is totally gassed.

[tk13]

Houston's athleticism on the field looks great. We'll see if they hang on... but physically they look like they belong on the field with FSU.

[GloucesterChief]

FSU throws a pick.

[FloridaMan88]

ACC is going down in flames in the bowl games thus far. Doesn't look good for Clemson.

On the bright side there is no reason for why Miami shouldn't immediately be able to win at least the ACC Coastal next season with Mark Richt and their returning talent.

[BWillie]

No, Houston is just really good. Maybe the best program in Texas this year.

No, the ACC is just a steaming pile of shit.

[KCUnited]

Whatever performance I just watched was wack af.

Miami had to be the most football dumb team I watched all year. Basically, gave the game away to my Cougs.

[Sassy Squatch]

FSU should probably just go ahead and change QBs.

[GloucesterChief]

Another FSU pick.

[jspchief]

Sooooo, is the ACC just a huge pile of shit?
Yes. Remember undefeated FSU last year against Oregon? I expect the same from Clemson.

[GloucesterChief]

FSU has turned it over 4 times but Houston only has 7 points off those turnovers.

[GloucesterChief]

Wow. That was a special defense by FSU. ROFL

[GloucesterChief]

FSU is done. Down 14 with less than 2 minutes to go.

[Prison Bitch]

Blown out by Houston. How embarrassing

[GloucesterChief]

Blown out by Houston. How embarrassing

Houston is better than Texas and A&M. Better D than TCU and Baylor.

[Bambi]

Why are the college football playoff games being played in the middle of a workday?

[Bugeater]

Good playcall there, that almost worked.

[ptlyon]

Why are the college football playoff games being played in the middle of a workday?

For people who don't work

[Bugeater]

For people who don't work
Or were smart enough to schedule a vacation day.

[KCUnited]

Terrible call.

[Bugeater]

Great, we have an idiot crew officiating one the most important games of the year.

[Sassy Squatch]

Borrowed from a pool of NFL refs for this game.

[Saul Good]

I'm at a bar full of Kansas fans cheering about the Big 12. "Welcome to the Big 12" was just heard after that score.

[Bambi]

Took OU -4 and the over.

This might be easier money than Baylor the other night.

[Bambi]

I'm at a bar full of Kansas fans cheering about the Big 12. "Welcome to the Big 12" was just heard after that score.

Plenty of good candidates emerging for the Big 12 if they ever wish to expand.

I'd consider being the first to jump to 16

FSU, Houston, North Carolina, BYU, Notre Dame and Duke all would fit nicely.

[TEX]

Way to go COOGS!

Great win for the program!

[Sassy Squatch]

Looks to be a one sided matchup mixed with horrible officiating so far. Snorefest.

[TEX]

Houston is better than Texas and A&M. Better D than TCU and Baylor.

All true. So glad Herman is staying put for awhile. I'm tired of losing good coaches to the likes of Baylor and A&M. Anyway, it was a GREAT season for UH! :clap:

[displacedinMN]

that was not good OU


then a worse punt

[KCUnited]

LMAO

[SAUTO]

Terrible kick

[Bugeater]

Nice punt.

yuck. They did the same thing at the Bowl game vs Minny last year.

[displacedinMN]

OU moving

[displacedinMN]

no throws after the penalty?

[BWillie]

I'll admit, I haven't watched ACC football this year, but holy shit. I cannot fathom there is a power 5 conference worse than the Big 12. Apparently there is, the ACC. Wow.

[GloucesterChief]

Clemson's punter has a nice arm.

[LoneWolf]

I see Oklahoma brought the Big12 tackling with them to their bowl game.

[Sassy Squatch]

The fuck happened? Left to go do shit and it was 7-0 with Clemson looking like dog shit.

[SAUTO]

The fuck happened? Left to go do shit and it was 7-0 with Clemson looking like dog shit.

Clemson got it up

[Hammock Parties]

Tubby Keith has really let himself go.

There sure is an abundance of good looking sloots in the crowd tonight at the Clemson/OU game. ESPN, show them even more between the plays.

[displacedinMN]

Tubby Keith has really let himself go.

so has his resturants

[Sassy Squatch]

Thank God Clemson came to play.

[Pepe Silvia]

Exciting game so far. Can't wait for the second half.

[vailpass]

Throw too low and ill advised...

[Sassy Squatch]

Oh shit.

[Sassy Squatch]

Took OU -4 and the over.

Nope.

[kstater]

How in the world is that pass interference?

[SAUTO]

This is slowly turning into a rape scene.

[GloucesterChief]

I feel sorry for anyone who takes that South Carolina job. Clemson is going to own SC for awhile.

[kstater]

Lol he hit his numbers on yhe back of yhe jersey

[Sassy Squatch]

Damn that was pretty blatant.

[KC_Connection]

Looks like Clemson and Alabama.

[kstater]

Looks like Clemson and Alabama.
Be a fun one

[Bambi]

Nope.

Welp, 1 out of 2 ain't the end of the world.

[LoneWolf]

Game over. All the dumb fucking ratings and stupid people who thought Oklahoma was the most complete team in the playoff can suck a fat cock.

[Sassy Squatch]

Why the fuck does the Oklahoma band keep blaring that stupid fucking song?

[LiveSteam]

Do they still call it the Big 12?

[LiveSteam]

Why the fuck does the Oklahoma band keep blaring that stupid fucking song?

Throat slash, fucking Rednecks

[ohiobronco2]

Big 12.......no defense.

[GloryDayz]

Wow... This OK QB isn't having the best night...

[siberian khatru]

Yeah, keep playing Boomer Sooner.

[Sassy Squatch]

Yeah, keep playing Boomer Sooner.
Like..... why?

[siberian khatru]

It's like Mets fans ordering their limited edition Noah Syndegaard throws at Alcides Escobar's head World Series print

[ohiobronco2]

58-4ever will be here soon to tell me how great Oklahoma is. Can't wait. They lost to ******* Texas, that should have immediately disqualified them.

[Eleazar]

Why the fuck does the Oklahoma band keep blaring that stupid fucking song?

They have played that song non-stop through every football game ever.

[Mr. Laz]

Seems like Bob Stoops loses every big game.

[kstater]

Impressive performance by Clemson

[Eleazar]

Shouldn't that 'throwing the ball up into the stands' move have been intentional grounding? :p

[DaNewGuy]

I like that Watson guy.

[kstater]

Seems like Bob Stoops loses every big game.
Other than the last three games of the season this year ...

[Spott]

Good, I hate OU.

[tk13]

LMAO Dantonio making Saban look like the more likable coach.

[Dayze]

Down by 20 with 3 minutes to go in the game, let's keep playing boomer sooner for the 75thtime.

[O.city]

I just am not a fan of cook

[GloucesterChief]

Derrick Henry has to be the most meh Heisman winner ever.

[ohiobronco2]

Derrick Henry has to be the most meh Heisman winner ever.

Just about any college back is going to have a lot of yards with 40 rush attempts a game.

[lewdog]

I just am not a fan of cook

You're just a little pussy from Missouri.

[O.city]

You're just a little pussy from Missouri.

Probably

[siberian khatru]

Finally a big play. Unfortunately by the wrong team.

[lewdog]

And there it is.

[ohiobronco2]

I wonder who Fowler is pulling for.

[GloryDayz]

3 rushing yards. yeah, that isn't going to work!

[GloucesterChief]

Just about any college back is going to have a lot of yards with 40 rush attempts a game.

He will be another Bama back that will do nothing in the NFL.

[ohiobronco2]

He will be another Bama back that will do nothing in the NFL.

Nick runs them into the ground.

[lewdog]

Definitely rooting for MSU but a Bama vs Clemson matchup would be pretty fun to watch too.

[Mr. Laz]

'bama player flopping like a little bitch

[lewdog]

That was fucking terrible.

[GloryDayz]

Wow, very dumb throw!

[siberian khatru]

Dumb, dumb, dumb

[tk13]

Killer INT.

[notorious]

Clemson put it on OU.


They basically run what KSU does, only with much better athletes and a great defense.

[GloucesterChief]

Cook sucks. Backup material in the NFL if even that.

[Pitt Gorilla]

LOL, Cook.

[GloryDayz]

I'm still stunned the kid threw that dumb of a pass! Wow, just WOW!

[Why Not?]

Whatever GM drafts Connor Cook will absolutely have earned his firing a few years later

OTOH, the Bama fan on his 20th beer who called into the Finebaum show was entertaining.

[GloryDayz]

Whatever GM drafts Connor Cook will absolutely have earned his firing a few years later

I'm at a loss for how poorly he's sensed the pressure and gotten rid of the ball. I'm just as stunned that coach hasn't provided him something more than what we've seen knowing that he's got 3, maybe 4, seconds to get the ball out of his hands.

Don't go overboard again friend. Perhaps they can just talk a bit.

[Why Not?]

MSU just doesn't look like they belong on the same field.

I love talking.

To you.

Not even close. Game is over. Getting pushed around on both sides of the ball.

[tk13]

Somewhere a Michigan State fan just threw something through the TV.

[Why Not?]

Can't believe they overturned that. Officiating has been very one sided. But MSU is closer to embarrassing themselves than they are making this a game

[Sassy Squatch]

I thought this would be the better of the 2 playoff games.

[Why Not?]

Somewhere a Michigan State fan just threw something through the TV.

Or someone who thought MSU would show up and bet the +9.5







Not that I know anyone like that.......

[Dayze]

What does the +9.5 mean?

[GloucesterChief]

MSU's DBs suck too.

[lewdog]

Or someone who thought MSU would show up and bet the +9.5

You lose tonight.

[Why Not?]

What does the +9.5 mean?

It means basically Alabama has to win by 10. Anything less and you win the bet

[tk13]

If pete was a Michigan State fan, he would have passed out by this point. Brutal call. The line judge was standing right there at the line of scrimmage. Ball never got there.

[Dayze]

Thanks bud. So a negative number indicates the favorite?

[tk13]

That looked like a video game punt return.

Same here. First game was fun for the first 2.5 quarters.

Exactly.


Chiefs-7 this week. If you bet Raiders and its 21-17 Chiefs, you win.

[GloryDayz]

Welp, it looks like like there's a pretty large gap between #2 and #3 in college playoffs...

[GloryDayz]

Yeah, let's wait until 31-0 to realize having a pocket passer isn't the answer.

[tk13]

This is the brutality of college football. If you're a MSU fan, you've waited a month, got hyped, spent a ton on travel and tickets for this rare opportunity and now you're getting your teeth kicked in.

Michigan St hasn't seen a real deal SEC defense this year. You have to be real pumped up or real fast to get by that. They are neither tonight

[Hamwallet]

Monday is going to be fun for me. My group of 4 at work, one Michigan St alum one OU alum. For the last few weeks all they talked about was playing each other for the title. The other 2 teams where soft and it was pretty much warm up's for them.

It's not an sec thing. Sec wasn't very good this year. Alabama was a good team in a mostly bad conference.

And msu under dantonio will never be a championship team. They're a solid second or third team representing the conference. Osu's coaching fist fucked themselves, as they were always the only real team that could have represented the big 10.

[Mennonite]

I get Clemson but who on earth thinks Alabama is soft?

I work with a few guys from Michigan, and they were oddly confident about the game. Not exactly cocky, but there has been a lot of talk about the SEC being overrated.

[Dayze]

Exactly.

I have worked with people from Michigan in a few states over the years. They think very highly of themselves.

[keg in kc]

Michigan State exposed just like I expected. Got into the tourney thanks in large part to a literal fluke win over Michigan and then just got hammered. And all the Connor Cook homers - I'd begun to wonder if they'd ever actually seen the guy play against a decent defense. Hopefully everyone's seen it now. It's like it used to be with LSU receivers: just stay the hell away from Michigan State qb's.

[GloryDayz]

Yes, tackle him high, that'll work!

Are you suggesting Michigan could have hung with 'Bama?

[Mennonite]

I have worked with people from Michigan in a few states over the years. They think very highly of themselves.

I can't disagree with you. I've gotten along with almost all of them, but you have to expect a bit of "know it all"-ism from them. Funnily enough, my grandmother went to Michigan during the second world war to work in a factory and she said the same thing.

[chiefzilla1501]

Are you suggesting Michigan could have hung with 'Bama?

Osu if you kept the play calls away from their nightmarishly bad offensive coordinators could have hung with Bama. Michigan's QB is way too noodle armed to stick with Bama, but in a year or two with a different QB, Michigan might

[keg in kc]

Are you suggesting Michigan could have hung with 'Bama?Not at all. Michigan was never realistically in the championship discussion. Ohio State might have, however. Much as I hate to say it I think they're the only big 10 team that would've had any shot. Iowa definitely had none.

I just mentioned the Michigan game because it's the very rarest sort of undeserved or unearned win. Might not see something like that again anytime soon.

[FloridaMan88]

People got too excited about the Big 10's future prospects with Ohio State's NC run last year.

Ohio State won with SEC-type talent and speed that Urban Meyer has been able to recruit to Columbus.

Michigan State is your traditional Big 10 team and their lack of talent/athleticism is on full display tonight.

Michigan State's overachieving grit may work against an equally speed/athleticism-challenged team like Iowa but it gets exposed against the Alabama's of the world.

[baitism]

As a Mizzou fan, I can concur that 3-star talent can only get you so far.

[GloryDayz]

Ah.. I'm just not sure anybody can hang with 'Bama this year. Clemson has a lot to worry about.

[keg in kc]

Why do you even play football?

[Hamwallet]

As a Mizzou fan, I can concur that 3-star talent can only get you so far.

MU fan also. I just hope for one, maybe 2 or 3 losses per season and a bowl game.

[Dayze]

What an ass kicking. Incredible. And mostly done without the usual dose of a running game.

Bama s linebackers and Dline are incredible. Getting massive pressure with four nearly all night.

[KC_Connection]

I'm not sure that game wasn't more about Michigan State being weak than this version of Alabama being an unstoppable dynamo of a team, but the outcome was hardly surprising. Let's see if Clemson can make it competitive.

[Hamwallet]

All in all I love the setup. 2 games with the best 4 teams on New Year's Eve night. Everyone was dreaming of this a few seasons ago.

In the big 10s defense, most conferences featured a strong team (maybe) and a bag of crap. Msu and Iowa were very good two and three teams. Ferentz and Dantonio will probably always be that calibre at best. That's their MO. When the best in the conference fails, they can back into conference championships.

Osu had sec talent but after losing Herman to Houston, they were coached by big East quality coaching. Osus going to take a huge hit in talent so Michigan is probably the big 10s hope next year.

Alabama matched up well against Michigan State's rather pedestrian offense. I am not sure they will be so dominant against Clemson.

I think there are a few teams that could beat Bama on a neutral field.

[Bwana]

Roll Tide!

[NWTF]

I thought for sure it would be Alabama and Oklahoma, with Alabama winning it, but Clemson looked great in the second half today. Maybe they're legit. :shrug:

That was my pick too. I overvalued Oklahoma. Everyone at work had Alabama and most of them had Clemson over Oklahoma. No one picked Michigan St.

That was an impressive win by Bama. Probably the most impressive win all year.

Still hoping Clemson wins it all though.

I always love it when people say Urban brought SEC type talent up north. I love pointing out that only a few starters from that team came from outside the state of Ohio. OSU does recruit nationally, but they were able to do that under Cooper and couldn't win the big one. Urban is just a really good coach.

And Mark Dantonio isn't a "really good coach"?

To use a tired football cliche, it isn't about the X's and O's as much as it is about the Jimmy's and the Joe's.

Off to Hockey I suppose!

All that talk about Bosa, and now he gets ejected

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That is the correct call according to the rule, but the rule itself is so goddamned stupid and they need to get rid of it.

[Hydrae]

All that talk about Bosa, and now he gets ejected

What a brilliant way to end your college career.

At least the ND guy got hurt. Not ending on a stupid play early in a bowl game.

[alanm]

Joey Bosa gets tossed. ACC refs again. Nate Gerry of the Huskers got hosed on his ejection.

[GloucesterChief]

How do people like Braxton Miller as a replacement for DAT if DAT decides to hang it up? Don't know if he could field punts.

OSU does recruit nationally, but they were able to do that under Cooper and couldn't win the big one. Urban is just a really good coach.

Ohio State beat Alabama because Lane Kiffin got away from the run that was killing OSU, and Saban has never been able to adapt to mobile QBs.

Alabama will always beat teams that run pro-style offenses because they recruit better players for a defense that is geared to stop a pro-style offense, but Saban is not able to adjust schematically against teams that run spread elements. That's why they lost to Miss St. last year, Ole Miss this year, and it's why he failed in the NFL where the talent levels are closer.

[Sassy Squatch]

What did Bosa do?

[BigMeatballDave]

How do people like Braxton Miller as a replacement for DAT if DAT decides to hang it up? Don't know if he could field punts.

I would love it!

How do people like Braxton Miller as a replacement for DAT if DAT decides to hang it up? Don't know if he could field punts.What as a RB. Don't know if he could catch on as a WR.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

It's an SEC crew.

[siberian khatru]

What did Bosa do?

Targeting. Led with his helmet into QB's chest.

[BigMeatballDave]

What did Bosa do?

Ejected for Targeting.

[Sassy Squatch]

Targeting. Led with his helmet into QB's chest.
Jesus....

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Targeting. Led with his helmet into QB's chest.

To be fair, he was stumbling somewhat when he hit him, but he did lower his helmet. I know why they throw the flag (see what you hit), but goddamn if it isn't stupid as hell.

[BigMeatballDave]

I like the Targeting rule for helmet to helmet only.

[alanm]

What did Bosa do?Hit the ND QB in the chest with the crown of his helmet. If you ask me it didn't call for a ejection. Personal foul but not a ejection. ACC refs overreact again. ACC refs tossed Nate Gerry last Sat for a legal hit. Gerry tackled a WR with his helmet off to the side.

[alanm]

It's an SEC crew.Thought they said it was a ACC crew. My bad.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Thought they said it was a ACC crew. My bad.

Trust me, the SEC is just as draconian about targeting.

In the last two years they've ejected three of Missouri's best defensive players (Terry Becker, Shane Ray, and Braylon Webb) all on bullshit targeting calls.

[GloucesterChief]

What as a RB. Don't know if he could catch on as a WR.

All around gadget player like DAT is. Miller could probably even throw decently. Think Randle-El.

Saban figured out how to school Urban while at Florida.

At this rate Florida at halftime will be auditioning fans in the stands to kick.

No, he didn't. He just recruited better players. If he knew how to school Urban, Meyer's third string QB wouldn't have hung 42 on his ass last year.

[GloucesterChief]

Saban figured out how to school Urban while at Florida.

Meyer runs the spread option. In last years playoffs they had a more big play traditional spread offense due to Jones not being that mobile. Seemed to knock Saban for a loop.

[DaKCMan AP]

No, he didn't. He just recruited better players. If he knew how to school Urban, Meyer's third string QB wouldn't have hung 42 on his ass last year.

Saban beats Meyer it's due to better players.
Meyer beats Saban it's due to being out coached.

Got it.

[siberian khatru]

[baitism]

The point of the rule is to protect the tackler as well. You know how many guys have hurt their necks, some permanently, leading with the helmet? It's funny how people want to make football safer, except for when it negatively impacts their team.

[alanm]

The rape of Notre Dame is on. :D

[ohiobronco2]

Nick Saban looks under his bed at night for Urban Meyer.

[alanm]

The point of the rule is to protect the tackler as well. You know how many guys have hurt their necks, some permanently, leading with the helmet? It's funny how people want to make football safer, except for when it negatively impacts their team.As in the case of Nate Gerry last week the refs had benefit of replay and still got it wrong. It's clearly subjective.

[ohiobronco2]

I don't have a problem with a penalty for Bosa if your argument is the Ref through the flag because he was actually protecting Bosa. However an ejection is ridiculous. Pretty soon it will be two hand touch.

[baitism]

As in the case of Nate Gerry last week the refs had benefit of replay and still got it wrong. It's clearly subjective.

That may be. But, that's on the refs, not the rule. We don't want college players breaking their necks.
