Some people would generalize and say that he is not a normal person. However, that is not to say that he isn't appreciated. for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Bowl tickets were going for over a grand and it was 60% buckeye fans. If it was a national title game it would be even moreso. Maybe their fan bases are just bored at this point. Alabama and South Carolina are not rich states, and that is obviously a long way to travel. Edited January 3, 2019 by Bill from NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a greater chance they both dont make it if there are more teams they face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Tired of both programs to be honest, but I respect the fact that they can remain on top year after year. CFB is a sport that's not all that easy to maintain this dominance....so many players, graduations, transfers, etc.. I think the main reason both teams are dominant is in the trenches. They both have NFL dudes all over...and the D-lines especially. I'm kinda rooting for Clemson but i see Bama winning this years version, 31-27.

TheBeaneBandit Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Does anybody know if Dexter Lawrence will be able to play? I don't know if he is still suspended. This game has a few lineman from both teams I'd love to see the Bills draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ohio State was in the Championship Game YOLO would be in the stands basking in the west coast sun wearing his red shirt.

Next year it is in NOLA, and both fan bases probably believe with their QBs returning that they will be back in it. They can catch it live much easier next year. Santa Clara is just a bad location for this game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, from .01% they don't make it to .02%. The only team in the top 8 this year that had a remote chance to stop either Clemson or Bama would have been OSU. Have you looked at the results of the teams from 5-8? Only OSU won. UGA, Michigan, and UCF all lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 they'll increase the playoff to 16 games and nitwits who don't even watch the games will think this is a great thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when there are even more blowouts, the cry will be to expand it to 12, maybe 16 teams, because that will fix it.

And the costs would be very prohibitive for many. Now that Kirby is settled in the bayou it is rumored that he will rent out his place to make some extra money for his gambling proclivities.

Boca BIlls Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 4 is fine b.c their is only 4 schools that dominate each year anyway. This year there is 2 that are just better then everyone else by a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1 I really hope that you are right!!! As a Tide Fan I do not want a close game. If the Bills were in the Super Bowl I would also want a 42-0 romp. Screw close games! That said, I am thinking that this game will be very tight. Clemson is stacked and they are not beaten up from playing tough teams. What I am hoping is that this works against their freshman QB and that he isn't ready for Alabama. He does however look like a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
