OldFaithfulcap Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The texas-osu game has a few interesting parts. If texas wins, georgia wins and fsu loses then you may see texas take the 4th. If texas loses then it may trigger a hell of a debate between their starting qb of 2 years ewers vs arch manning (nephew of peyton and eli who was top high school qb) This could still happen in a win as ewers might not declare for the NFL. It reminds me of alabama when they moved on from hurts to tua and then hurts went to OU. Personally i'd take arch manning, kid looked great in his first appearance and looks like manning arm plus the mobility that neither had and ewers doesn't have that superstar quality.

Great win for the Huskies and Penix Jr. Would love to see Washington pummel Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Props to Bo Nix and Oregon too. I think if these two teams played each other 10 times, each team would win 5. The Rose Bowl committee has to be ecstatic about the prospect of a Michigan - Washington Rose Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll never know what the committee would have decided, since the Seminoles hung on for a 9 point win over the Gators, but if FSU had lost that game, I think you would have had to go with the Longhorns as the #4 seed.... Yes, Ohio State and Oregon both lost to top 3 teams, but you have to pick a team that won their Conference Championship game, don't you? As far as the Texas QB situation moving forward, I'd put my money on Manning, with Ewers likely transferring to another program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is a longhorns fan so i've watched plenty of their games but i like the effort the guys give. I think the same with ewers, else manning will go to a big program like usc or alabama or lsu.

PistolPete13 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Alabama for the win. Tide caught a huge break in the first half when officials missed a dropped pass, allowing Bama to march down the field for a TD just before half time. Does Georgia still get in, or does Texas?

SEC always gets at least one spot in the final four. 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Alabama An unlikely loss by Michigan would guarantee a spot for FSU, providing they take care of business against Louisville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might but I can't justify leaving an undefeated Power 5 conference champion out, even though I'd argue Alabama is the better team. I suspect Louisville will upset them though, rendering this irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete13 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Anyone else loving the camera shot we’re getting every now and then from the camera that the referee is wearing?

You'll have: Michigan: undefeated, conf champ, win over ohio state Washington: undefeated, conf champ, wins over oregon Alabama: Conf champion, win over georgia and other sec Georgia: only loss to alabama FSU: if win (undefeated, conf champ but penalized as acc sucks) Texas (conf champ but not undefeated, otherwise they'd get in).

I have a little more faith they get it right. FSU I can see missing due to the QB situation, but I don't see any scenario where Texas misses, especially to let a team who lost the conference championship in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened before with 2 SEC (same teams) and ohio state over conf champs. SEC is where the money and power is. FSU has the biggest case to argue against it but i can't see georgia being left out.
