Also….SMU/Penn St will be on same time as Texans/Chiefs

Clemson/Texas will be on same time as Steelers/Ravens

Big big games

ND

PSU

Texas 

Tenn

And I parlayed this. 

Also tickets are cheap for the OSU game I think fans are done with Day and OSU better take this as a Statement. The face I can get two tickets in a Deck for less then 400 with fees says a lot.

Yes, many of my FB friends trying to sell theirs and at way discounted prices compared to any other OSU game in a good while

I thought IU would put up a bigger fight than this.

They can’t do anything on offense and not tremendous on defense 

I’m wondering if tonight’s game is how PSU - SMU will go tomorrow. Cold, low scoring. SMU gets exposed like Indiana did.

That was one dandy onside kick

Maybe…but ND has done most things well, not sure Penn St can play this clean in a game all-around

IU was a fraud.

SMU seems bothered by the 12 degree tem

What does this mean, exactly?

Indiana defense was very good tonight. They were pretty good vs OSU. They don’t have the horses yet to compete on offense. Just not enough speed. 

I personally think ND is going to win it all, so not sure why losing to ND and OSU ‘sans they are frauds. Who could have been in over IU that wouldn’t have been “frauds”? You go to 12, you get non-serious title contenders in. That doesn’t make those teams frauds for losing to the 3-4 actual title contenders.

Indiana is not even close to being playoff caliber.  There are probably 5-10 teams better than them that weren’t in.  Notre Dame is a fine team, but not great IMO.

Who? Don’t give me Alabama. You aren’t allowed to lose the games they did and have an argument. I don’t care that Alabama might smoke Indiana, one team earned it and the other didn’t.

No shit, Alabama had shit losses. Old Miss had at least one shit loss. If Indiana also had a loss to some 6-6 team to go with the one to Ohio State, you could make a point that one of those TEAM SEC teams was more deserving. But that didn't happen. Instead you had a one loss team whose one loss was to the (at the time) #2 in the country versus a handful of three-loss teams that had better wins, but also had more and worse losses.

SMU's QB literally throwing the game away.

Quick question: Is the SMU quarterback on acid or just really, really dumb?

Two pick sixes and tried to fire one for a score on the run on 4th-and-one when he easily would have gotten the first down with his legs. They're down 14-0 and PSU hasn't outplayed them one bit -- he's just single-handedly killing his own team.

Indiana isn’t that good.  That’s my sole point.  They played two good teams all year and got pasted by them both.  

Idk who, if anyone, should have been in over Indiana. The field is the field and the debates are getting lame. 

Five years from now #24 Syracuse will get waxed in the first round and everyone will be mad they got in over a five loss Texas Tech team. Just never ending. 

Sick decision by Franklin to go for it on 4th and 1 on your own 20. Jackass. I hope they lose.

It'd be one thing if there was any team out there that there at least could be a general consensus was super-deserving of getting in, but was robbed. But with a 12-team field, you're not going to have that. This year, it's about 90% SEC nut-huggers pissed off that their conference wasn't given half the field and bitching about who got in instead of their three-loss teams.

That’s the fun of CFB - arguing about things that can never be settled.  It’s always been that way - long before the playoff.

Indiana was a fraud…looks like SMU is too.

YOU'RE A FRAUD

I think this is just proving 12 teams is to many also get rid of the automatic bids for conference champs

Getting rid of the automatic bids is a huge step.
