2024 College Football Playoffs

[IrishTusker]

God can we recruit a WR like smith

No

 

[IrishWayDomer]

Kind of hope UT scores 7 here and Day shits his pants rest of game.

 

[greyhammer90]

Really dont know how that backjudge could've ruled that an int based on what he saw on the field but whatever

 

[Huntr]

lmaoooo

 

[KMac151993]

Terrible call.

 

[KPENN]

Nico isn’t very good

 

[DillonHall]

Yet both are very beatable on any given Saturday.

More beatable than usual, but they'll both be tough to knock out in the Playoff

 

[NDPhilly]

Another bail out lol. Like the CFP Said we need one competitive game

 

[IrishLax]

These refs point shaving or something? That’s an insane roughing call after missing PI on the Tennessee pick in the endzone

 

[Huntr]

sad FG

 

[KMac151993]

Reminds me of our game last night.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Nico isn’t very good

He looks like he wants no part of this game. It's funny really, considering the chest beating of SEC fans.

It just means more. Unless it's cold.

 

[NDPhilly]

Awful play by Egbuka, they had numbers

 

[Huntr]

HE STUMBLED OVER HIS OWN GUY KIRK FUCKING DESCRIBE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE

 

[Huntr]

blind motherfucker

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Because the SEC/ESPN want it to be as many SEC teams as possible.

Look at how they were talking after the game last night, and even in the second half of the game to am extent. The focus wasn't on ND kicked their ass. Instead it was discussing how maybe Indiana was never that good.

Not that this overrides your point but during the Texas game, the game callers explicitly stated that the Indiana game was not a close game really and ND is a really good team and the UGA vs ND. Is gonna be a dogfight.

I agree, I think 8 would've been perfect. Hopefully they won't expand past 12.

My original point was Playoff blowouts were not a new phenomenon due to the expansion to 12

8 would've been good. Get the major conference champs in. Get a G5 in. Then 3 at-large.

I do think 4 was adequate. I think expansion was a panic move because it "felt" like it wasn't really expanding opportunity. The same teams kept making it, and expansion would encourage more good OOC games. With 12 teams, it should lead to some parity.

No idea if that will result, but the well has been poisoned I think. Saban retiring, Clemson started falling off, etc. Parity was coming anyway.

Also, idk if the G5 really should get a spot guaranteed. The best G5 schools have all become at least nominally P4 schools other than Boise. Houston, TCU, Utah, Cincinnati, etc. A 12 team playoff would have been super fun during the BCS era. There were several awesome G5 teams back in the 00's and you could probably count on at least one of them "belonging."

Now, the G5 is basically indistinguishable from FCS. North and South Dakota State played an awesome game today. High quality football! But that level of football belongs nowhere near the college football playoff. Both of them would have a better shot at beating Boise than Boise does at beating Penn State.

 

[KMac151993]

He was down...touched the ball down.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Tennessee isn’t even trying to run the ball. Lol

They rushing only four and dropping everyone else.

 

[IrishWayDomer]

How many times will they tell us Nico is 6'6".

 

[NorthDakota]

How many times will they tell us Nico is 6'6".

Ryan Williams is 17 years old

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

That was a tough drive. They needed that.

 

[KMac151993]

Still at a loss how no one caught he downed the ball.

 

[NDRock]

Does Ryan Day use Botox or is it the hair coloring that makes him look such a douche.

 

[Irishdawg]

Ok, we have a game.

 

[NDPhilly]

That momentum changing interception when it was 21-0 Was exactly what Denbrock was trying to avoid the entire game yesterday by calling the game so conservatively

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Does Ryan Day use Botox or is it the hair coloring that makes him look such a douche.

When I think of him I immediately get this image in my head :

 

[thekid33]

What if Ryan Day loses a 21 point lead, at home, in the playoffs?

That's enough to make atheists believe in God.

 

[IrishTusker]

Day is a very good coach, including as a play-caller. His calls against UGA in 2022 were excellent. Not beating UM is a huge problem for their fans but otherwise he's a very good coach.

And I don't think the "he gets the best talent" argument really means that much. So did Saban. Etc.
