Holy shit is notre dame in now? Poor Brian Kelly is about to be like “awwww shucks I should’ve waited a few more weeks before bringing ma FAMilee down to the bayou”. Or is the committee gonna be lame and put bama at #4 even after they lose to Georgia? No way these two teams are playing each other back to back games even if they’re not in back to back weeks. Who else is left? Baylor? Don’t think they’ll get bumped up all the way from 9 to 4 even after beating Oklahoma state. Ohio state isn’t getting bumped up after not playing this week either No one wants to see notre dame get blown out in a playoff yet again tho. They are the Norwich City of the college football playoff Unfortunately if Bama wins there is no way both they and Georgia don't get in. If Bama loses it's ND. Really don't understand Kelly's thought process either, it has to just be about $$$. At ND he plays essentially a mid tier ACC schedule aside from maybe a tough game with USC if they're having a good year. At LSU he's got to win the SEC to get in and the boosters are insane and will throw a tantrum and get you fired over one bad year even if you won a national championship a couple years earlier. At ND he's got lifetime job security as long as he gets them to a major bowl every couple years with a soft schedule. I'd much rather have that job. That's why Riley left Okie ahead of the SEC move. He'd rather be the big fish in the small pond at USC instead of being in the SEC where you have like six blue blood programs fighting over one conference title and playoff spot. Plus even though I'm not a California guy at all I'd much rather live in LA than in the middle of nowhere in effing Oklahoma. |

Alabama winning makes this a lot easier. Final rankings could be either…
1. Alabama
2. Michigan
3. Georgia
4. Cincinnati
Or…
1. Michigan
2. Alabama
3. Cincinnati
4. Georgia

Alabama vs Georgia again, I don’t even wanna watch this shit smh
College football overlords need to find a way to bring more parity to the sport. And I don’t mean nfl style parity, but just make the championship more interesting instead of it being a combination of Alabama/Georgia/Clemson/Ohio state every year. Look at European soccer. You got your Bayerns and your PSGs and Man City that dominate their leagues every year but when you get to the champions league it’s much more interesting. While it’s normal for one of the powerhouses to be in the final every year, you do get teams from outside the traditional heavyweights making runs most years and it keeps the competition fresh, exiting and just generally not boring like college football (Leipzig/Lyon semi finalists 19/20, Tottenham finalist 18/19, Roma semi finalist 17/18 etc etc). You can still have Alabama dominate the SEC every year, or Clemson dominate the ACC every year (except this year), or Ohio state dominate the Big Ten every year (except this year) same as how Bayern dominates the bundesliga every year, or how PSG dominates Ligue 1 every year (except last year), or how Manchester City now unfortunately dominates the prem league, but once it’s playoffs/champions league time you got other teams in the fray with a real chance
There’s already many similarities in how college football and European football are set up. The conferences being the individual domestic leagues, shit they make a fuss about “Europe’s big 5 leagues” well in college football you got the Power 5 conferences. The historic rivalries in college football, the hate between those teams, the fan spirit, just the overall college football atmosphere is probably the closest thing we have in American sports to replicating the soccer atmosphere over in Europe. Fucking make it work

Congratulations to Georgia for winning and overcoming some serious refball in the sequence with the fumble. Haven't seen officials get so many separate things wrong on one call in a long time.

Major upsets. Colorado beat TCU. Big win for Coach Prime. Wyoming beat Texas Tech. Texas State beat Baylor. And my Fighting Irish beat an FCS school. Their first FCS opponent ever. Not an upset, but ND is my team so they get a plug from me, when they win.
