2018 Week 14 Conf Champ Watch Party

[Bishop2b5]

Kirk Herbstreit can suck my dick. Just said that Georgia should be No. 3 after tonight and ND should drop to number 4. This sport is a fucking joke.

I definitely wouldn't put UGA at 3 over ND, but their performance tonight didn't convince me they aren't one of the best 4 teams in the country. I think they'd embarrass OU or OSU. That being said, I understand nobody wants to see a Bama/UGA rematch in 4 weeks and I hope we face OU in the first round.

I hope Alabama plays OU as well. I'd like to see St. Nick go to work against that offense. They can do some fun things.

I can't say I've watched much Georgia football, but if their pass rush has been as non-existent as they made it sound, they wouldn't embarrass either of those teams.

Man is NW straight garbage. How the heck did we only beat them by 10?

Playing on the road...and not putting our foot on their throat.

I don’t think we would have blown them out either way, but didn’t Book Also break his ribs in the first freaking quarter?

 

[Bishop2b5]

You guys have given me a little good-natured grief about saying I was nervous about Bama and saw all the weaknesses that could be exploited and that I wasn't as confident as some of you that we were this unbeatable machine. Now you see why I had my doubts. We're good, but we're not invincible. Georgia just whipped us and outplayed us for 80% of that game and could've easily won.

- NW isn't "garbage".
- They're at least semi-decent.
- Book played hurt.
- ST's were ass.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

This thing seems pretty open and shut to me.

Bama
Clemson
ND
Oklahoma


Now, do we know who goes to which bowl?

They had a good pass rush tonight, but they've been lacking in that department most of the season.

Their offense is garbage

From what I’ve seen today I am no longer afraid of playing any of the prospective teams. I would not be keen on playing OU’s offense but then again their D is pretty awful. I think we have a better D than UGA and would pound TUA. BTW he is done as it relates to the Heisman imo. I’m going to ignore Herby and wandstadt as both have their reasons to hate on ND. I’m ok with the results of the day and as far as I’m concerned Bama would beat UGA more convincingly in another rematch. Our run D needs to be stout whether we play Bama or Clemson. No broken tackles and we roll. Coney and Tillery could play themselves into the first round if they ball out.

I will add Herby to the SEC “Ball Washing List” to join Dumbo Finebaum.

 

[Irish YJ]

Herb just gave his top 4

Bama
Clemson
UGA
ND

Bama-Ok in Miami

Clemson-ND in Dallas

....and that's why nobody has ever asked Herbie to be on the playoff committee lmao

 

[dang227]

Why would NW try a stretch play against OSU? Just terrible play calling in this game

The game was never in doubt. It was all a contrived story line perpetrated by the Saban, the SEC, and ESPN to:

1) Create the "UGA needs to be in the final 4" dialog
2) Saban wanted to pay Kirby back for keeping quiet about his daughter and Kiffin
3) Saban thought a "close call" would flush the rat poison out of his team's blood
4) The SEC and ESPN want a first round match up of the SEC vs ND
5) Make Jalen H look good and keep him in Bama for another year

He was literally saying Georgia should jump ND because they lost.

This playoff system is awful. It works when you have 4 qualified conference champs but otherwise it is worse than the BCS.

5 auto bids to stop bellyaching from conference champs (PSU, OSU, USC) that have multiple losses and get screwed.

3 at large bids for teams like Georgia, ND this year... and gives a path to a team like UCF.

Surely if they are thinking of a top 8 part of the deal is to get rid of the conference finals?

I wouldn't say it's worse than the BCS. In the BCS, ND would be left out.

The BCS was flawed enough to give way to 4, and 4 is flawed enough to give way to 8.

8 would eliminate all the arguments and bellyaching and ensure all reasonable teams with a reasonable argument, get a chance.

Based on his gut that is fair, but putting a 2 loss UGA team above an undefeated ND team isn't how this system is supposed to work. ND is not UCF. At this point, I'm just surprised/happy that ND is part of the picture at all.

The system is so absurd that there are real people that think ND should be ranked 5th or lower. People don't even give a shit about losses anymore as long as you have talent.

In BCS, ND would be sitting third and it wouldn't even be a question. Somehow people thought it was smarter to give control of the process to a small group of people instead of leaving it in the hands of the polls... even then polls have been used forever to decide the national champion of college football. Realize that with the wrong group of people or the right amount of corruption it's possible that ND could get left out on Tuesday. Crazy to think about, but it's true. That would be utterly impossible in the BCS era.

I don't care that ND would've been left out at #3, they wouldn't have deserved to be in over Bama & Clemson who are both better than ND.

It's quite clear from listening to #TheNarrative all year that the process is not a good one. They need to go to 8 teams with autobids for conference champs, or they need to go back to polls to pick the top 4. This "selection show" shit is ridiculous, as is the chair, as is ESPN's influence in the "debate" about rankings. Herbstreit on national television was arguing for Georgia to move up (!!!!!) for losing. What a time to be alive.

I tend to gravitate towards Vegas lines. They are far more accurate for the most part than AP, Coaches, or CFP rankings. If Vegas put out hypothetical lines with everyone vs everyone, you'd end up with a clear top 3, and close odds for the next three.

1 Bama
2/3 UGA / Clemson

then
4 OSU/OK/ND (they'd be +/- 3 vs each other)

Hey, they almost beat Bama again!

If ND would somehow win the NC this year, I would be satisfied enough to never watch another game. Just call it quits!
