    This is the worst outcome for the 12 team playoff right? Not a single lower seed even being competitive?

    I think this just proves that NCAA football is very top heavy. The top teams in the “best conferences” are far and away better than anyone else. This year you have Texas, OSU, Oregon, PSU, Georgia, and maybe Notre Dame. The ACC looks awful because they depend on Clemson and/or FSU, just as every conference depends on the top teams.

    Only way you can do that is to pick the 12 teams before the conference championship games. It's unfair to punish a team that loses its championship game compared to one that doesn't even play in one. 

    I'd be fine if they picked the teams for the playoff before the championship games. 

    I actually wish the entire conference system could be restructured. I know it won’t happen because of money, but I’d like to see the idea of conference taken out of the college football equation. They aren’t important with the new playoff system. Let the best teams play, and create more matchups that allow us to know who’s the best during the regular season.

    It’s just Jennings too.  
     

    SMU Defense has locked down PSU and they’ve moved the ball, but he’s literally responsible for taking 7 off the board and then giving Penn State 14.  
     

    About as bad as it gets. 

    Yeah, that’s why I picked SMU for an upset. I thought they’d play well, but didn’t think Jennings would melt down. Drew Allar and the PSU offense is incredibly overrated, and I assumed SMU would score points.

    Brutal throw from Jennings.. had the 1st down and instead goes for the wide open TD and just misses him. 
     

    And Jennings might as well wear a Penn State jersey thus far. 
     

    Yes, he seems overwhelmed by the environment. I called an SMU upset, but was wrong. We’ve seen mid major teams pull upsets in these massive stadiums on a regular basis, but Jennings seems like it’s too much for him to handle.

    What would happen if Army makes the CFP, I wonder..

     

    Game is scheduled for this week every season, right?  
     

    Would they just have to forego the pseudo bye week for their opponent?

     

    Id imagine Army would be ok with that to play this game, in this slot. 
     

    I had the same thought watching the game yesterday. You’d also have an issue if one of these teams were undefeated playoff bound, then lose in this game. Wouldn’t this create likely controversy about the playoff bid? I’m confused if this is basically an exhibition in the mind of the playoff committee?

    Where you say "he couldnt win without Brady", I say "no one can win with Mac Jones".

     

    Even the best/your favorite coaches... swap Mac Jones in for Josh and McD isnt winning. Swap McCorkle in for Mahomes and Reid isnt winning. Swap him in for Goff and Campbell/Johnson arent winning.

     

    It's both. You need the coach and the QB.

     

    Even Brady needed Arians to win another SB, and didnt do nearly as well once he pushed Bruce out of the HC spot.

    I agree with everything you said, but there’s also nothing to show that Belichick can build a team from scratch. He was GM in New England, and it didn’t go well. Why are we assuming he can identify talent? Let alone recruit players as a grumpy 73 year old. I agree, you can’t win with Mac Jones, but there’s also nothing in Bill’s past that proves he can lift a mediocre team. He might be the GOAT, but he’s a coach coming out of retirement at 70 plus. When has that ever been successful? 

  7. One of the greatest coaches of all time, but why do we assume he can game plan for a college team? The guy couldn’t even win in the NFL without Brady. What makes people think he knows modern college football offense?

    Also, what father watches this happen and doesn’t get into a fight? Which would mean security and certainly cell phone video. I’d be shocked if any father wouldn’t do that for their child. 

    It would be tough to stop that natural reaction, but going to jail and potentially losing a job isn’t great for your family. You can’t just fight people in this era. I don’t agree with it, but getting into a fight for any reason is very risky. We don’t just let things go these days, everything has the potential to become a giant mess.

    Right, the family really asked for it 😂

    My niece has attended a ton of games. I know everyone has different parenting styles, but they aren’t hearing anything in that stadium they don’t on the bus. I think some people are very naive. I’m not concerned about hearing cuss words and the like, injuries shouldn’t be expected though. It might have been an accident, but it’s still terrible. I love this team, but our stadium does have some knucklehead twenty something lightweight drinkers who can be quite abrasive.
