Clemson-tOSU

[Statalyzer]

I'm glad conference championship isn't an auto-bid. It renders the entire ooc schedule as pure exhibition games. And you'll end up with a situation like the NFL has. Some 11-1 team will get left out so that a 9-4 team they blew out can get the berth.

I guess this season is an argument against top 8?

8 could work. 5 conference winners and 3 from the CCG losers which have the best win/loss records.

I'd rather have every Power 5 conference winner in the playoff than a team that wasn't capable of winning their conference get in over a team that did. I dont care who they played in week 1 or 2.

So what would the Hive Mind think if Dabo decides he's done all he can at Clemson and it's announced he's signed a contract to come to Texas?

That would rock the sports world but me thinks Dabo only leaves SC aggie to replace Saban at bama.

Fields put on a show tonight, there is a reason he will likely be second player taken in the draft. Ohio State is a good team that is more than capable of looking awesome with nights like tonight. That said I think Bama rolls them by 21 plus.

tOSU - Bama matchup will be interesting. I think Bama will win (yawn) but it will be a close game.

 

[rick mueller]

I wonder if Dabo still thinks tOSU is the number 10 team?

Herbstreit's butt is clenched so tight right now

He’s got a son on Clemson.

The NC tourney will get expanded to 64 teams so they can wring more money. I counted 63 commercials in the first half of Bama game. That is a lot of the dreams that float the sport. Try a 64 team tourney instead of 4. More money


And they are gonna need it once they start paying players.

I’ll go with tOSU. They have the momentum and also, few gave them much of a chance last night. Fields is on a mission. Let me add that while Saban is a great coach, he’s not always the best in-game HC in the field.

It will be interesting Duke. Since aOSU is fresher than every team in the CFP, they get a bump up. An above-average coach can pull a rabbit or two out of his hat every season. The issue is Saban has 13-15 hats.

Wanna see a spear:

Clemson LB James Skalski ejected after controversial targeting call on Ohio State QB Justin Fields

Personally, I'm not sure why anyone would want to tackle with their head - there's not a small chance you'll be the one with the broken neck.

That actually happened to someone at my high school. He survived, but was a paraplegic.

Beilue: Kelly Forehand was never defined by his devastating football injury

I was at that game (as a member of the band). I didn’t personally know Kelly, but knew his sister from several classes we were in over the years.

You just can't fix stupid people sometimes. The Clemson LB got thrown out of NC game last year, now does it again. It's a dirty move, that you can't get away with (it's not like your stomping on the ankle of a WR away from the play), and has a good chance of injuring you too.
