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.

8 is too many, 6 at the most.

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?

I love that TCU is up 42 and is still throwing bombs down the field.

and HS state teams play 15 games.........and 2 full scrimmages....

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.

Statue of Liberty for a TD for Boise, cause why not?
and boom 21-0 Boise.

Damn, who knew both of these early games would be blow outs?

Still laugh that UTSA (4-8 and 9th best team in C-USA) only lost by 3 to Arizona

A risky game to play there....how'd Colorado St do against Utah in their bowl game?

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.
