Drill Here, Drill Now |
1st ever 12-team playoff is set for college football. Of course, there is whining and gnashing of teeth. Heck, in basketball there is over sixty team and still butt hurt teams/fans.

I think the playoff committee got it right: Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Don't forget those tough Western Kentucky and Mercer games that the Tide played. _____________________________ "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

They lost to Vanderbilt. Why is anything else relevant?  | |||

FCS has been doing it this way forever. FBS should have as well. The "best" team should be decided on the field, not in a board room somewhere.

They got it right. My Commodores beat them for the first time since I was on the sideline for our last win in ‘84 so Bama couldn’t afford a third loss and expect to have a shot at the playoff. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

"Texas is in the best spot other than the teams with byes. The Longhorns will host the last team in the field - Clemson - in Round 1, and draw Arizona State in the second round if they’re able to topple the Tigers. I know that the Sun Devils were incredible in the blowout win over Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship Game, but they’re far from a juggernaut. Maybe the committee should take away byes for conference champions and honor the best four teams with the luxury of sitting at home in Week 1? Nah, that would make too much sense. Texas is the beneficiary of that nonsense this year." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Yep. And if Sark will put Arch on the field the Horns have a chance to take full advantage of their bracket. Ewers is not a 4 quarter player, he is not mobile. Manning has the fire to win, that horse needs to be on the field. | |||

Yup, they got it right. And FWIW Clemson owes a HUGE thank you to Syracuse for knocking out Miami. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Can someone explain how SMU is seated higher than Clemson when Clemson beat them in the ACC Championship game? My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||

I said yes because simply I’m bored with the same set of teams. I’d be happy for Boise to win it all just to shake it all up. Not that I expect it. But I’ll root for it.

Winning on the field removes computers and feelings from deciding your fate. Just like boxing. Knock out the other guy or deal with scorecards. They need to fix the seeding after the first round or do like basketball and seed based on ranking because some lower seeded teams have what appears to be an easier path than some higher seeded teams. They should also expand the field to 16 or 24 teams. | |||

Alabama needs a good helping of "humble pie" IMHO, and this is a start. Sure, it's fun to win a lot of games, but consistently winning, winning, winning, cheapens the sport. Organized sports are a life lesson for the athletes. It may not seem that way, but I know lots of people who refer back to their playing time as being critical in their later lives. So, it's good to have a few game losses, to have the experience and emotions in dealing with those losses, to allow the players to handle adversity later in life. JMHO, YMMV. | |||

I was raised as an SMU fan since birth. I was on their practice field weekly back in the Dickerson & James Pony Express hanging out and shagging balls for their kickers. I was in the Cotton Bowl in 1983 when they beat Pitt/Dan Marino and finished the season #2 in the country. Then it was 40 years of mediocrity. I'm really happy to see them in the playoffs. The competitiveness the past 2 weeks leading into the playoffs has been incredible. The season has been really exciting. Alabama ended in a 6 way tie for 4th place in their conference. They are out for one reason, they lost too many games... I'm impressed how much national support they Mustangs are receiving. Hope they can knock out Penn State. I may have to book a flight and go see it myself. I have a few SIGs. | |||

The Ohio State Buckeyes were handed some humble pie by TTUN ( Mich. ) a few weeks ago! They have an opportunity to redeem themselves against a good Tenn.team @ home. If they can play good hard nosed football, instead of acting like a bunch of thugs, they stand a chance of getting to play Oregon again! We have heard all year how good and talented the Buckeye roster is! They can still prove that by winning a National Championship. 0r they can fold up like a house of cards,and endure another somewhat successful season where they can beat everyone but the Tough Big Boys How bout it Buckeyes ? | |||
