posted by Ironman92Well commissioner just said the teams not playing this weekend can’t change order….ok
I thought Clemson beating SMU 35-13 would strengthen South Carolina’s resume
So if Boise St loses and SMU loses….I guess Bama will jump ahead of them, but I bet they fall between Miami/Ole Miss/South Carolina, not that it matters.
That is an ill advised statement from the commissioner! Surely they should take into account strengths or weaknesses exposed by the conference championship games that should effect teams in the non-playing mix that have played the teams playing this week.

Justin Tucker having bad problems hooking his kicks wide left, now he plays for the hook trying to take the lead and hits it so solid it doesn't hook and misses just right

Ga Tech should have tried for 2 at the end of the first OT. It was their best chance to win of all the OTs. May as well take your shot by choice of trying for 2, rather than being forced for to go for 2 in all subsequent periods.

Looks like there is a tie at 57 if the Chargers win!

Both teams miss their first conversions, then Auburn makes a great catch in the EZ and AM drops a much less difficult catch and lose the game!
Both teams get FGs in 2nd OT sending it to 3 yd conversions to decide it!
Auburn robbed of a TD in their 2nd OT possession on 2 plays in a row!

You may have to switch to Boise St

I've been upset at poor ball spotting for 60 years My dad pointed it out to me then watching Browns games on Sundays, how the refs nearly always added a half yard to the team they favored and took a half yard away from the other team. Then it didn't have anything to do with getting it on the even yard line. I think now a big part is to have the line to gain for a 1st down on an even yard line for replay purposes if it ends up close for the next first down. But after that, spot it where it should be.
posted by mhs95_06What a smart, patient, under control 79 yd punt return by Downs! Ball came down quite a bit short of him, and was bouncing. He was only going to touch it if it took a nice easy hop, which it di and mad a masterful controlled runback.
And no one made any unnecessary blocks that MIGHT get called

I have noticed a recent change by officials in NCAA and NFL, as well as some high school, that refs have a high propensity to spot the ball on even yard lines. Also the first play OSU had from the 4 yd line after the IU muffed snap by the punter. Judsen got the ball nearly to the 3 yd line and they spotted the ball back right at the 4, then Henderson ran it in for the TD on the next play. It really hurts the ball control team who gets 3 3.7 yd runs, or passes for 12 yds, but they then have to convert 4th and 1.
It shouldn’t happen in those situations. On a play that gets a first down it matters a bit less but just spot the damn ball

On 3rd down they ran it to the 1 1/2 at worst but hall was spotted on the 2?
They are looking at 4th down on replay but 3rd down spot was the killer.
IU Coach calling the timeout with 8 seconds to regather and halt momentum and then quarter ended…again, Day getting out coached in important moments.
1st possession wasted
2nd possession seemed very productive but zero points.
2 wasted possessions in a game where you might only get 10-11 possessions….might be the middle of the 3rd qtr before they get their 5th po

posted by friendfromlowryJust can’t win the close games. All season long.
Kicker killed…his 2 misses outweighed the big turnover the Bengals forced that stopped Chargers from at least a FG
Should keep foot on the gas…probably won’t ….counting on the 47 yd FG is poor coaching

Bleh…ridiculous
Pitt’s coach doesn’t have control
3 consecutive defensive offsides on 3rd 21
4 false starts last week in 7 plays
3 delay of game penalties and back to back ones coming out of a timeout
Had ball late in 1st half and snapped ball with 29 seconds left and allowed Clemson a long FG, which was pivotal
3rd and goal from the 1 and they settled for a 40 yard FG
Pitt should’ve easily won that game. Virginia fucked them last week with a dirty shot to the QB and he’s still out. Pitt isn’t that good but should damn well be 9-1, but oh well. Was a fun atmosphere and I get to see my kid.
