Defense has forced 3 turnovers, offense can't do anything, and putting them in a bad position. I don't really care, an SEC team getting blown out is always a good thing.

Shut up about expanding the playoffs to 8. An 8 team playoff would kill college football as no one would stay after their Junior year with a prayer at playing in the NFL because of the risk of injury. OSU for instance would have Michigan, then the B1G title, followed by 3 possible games against top 10 teams.

What better way to see/transition to the NFL?

Only 2 teams would be playing in the scenario and every player would be 100% for being a part of it.

Ole Miss overrated. TCU would win 3 games in the B1G.

TCU doing the Landshark thing is so great to watch.
The SEC West is in big trouble if Miss St and Auburn loses their games too. We all know Bama is going to be shit stomped.

You do realize other divisions in football have a 16 team playoff right?

Yeah, 8 is too many as you start wading through the murky waters of 2 loss teams. 6 is good with the top two getting a bye.

Instead of going for it on 4th and goal down 42, Hugh Freeze kicks a field goal...

Good strategy. Down 39 is just 5 TD's and 1 2pt conversion, and 1 FG away from a tie instead of 6 TD's....

And Boise looks very legit. Arizona looks just like they did against Oregon.

Underdogs have won outright in 12 of the 25 bowl games, and 15-9 ATS.
So, yeah I think given the bowl so far, I think FSU wins as well or at least covers the 8.
