Good for texas, they'll have a good shot. Michigan will have its hands full, i do smell vacated wins from their illegal filming though.

PistolPete13 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 16 hours ago, PistolPete13 said: Agreed for the most part. Even if FSU wins, they might end up on the outside looking in. 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. Got this one. . Even a broken watch is right twice a day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 ...and now Texas is gone....as a Sooner fan, I'm contractually obligated to cheer for a Longhorn loss....

That game was way closer than it had to be. Washington's decision to run the ball, instead of taking the knee on that last drive, cost them 30 seconds, when their RB got hurt....It could have cost them the game, but luckily, they hung on....

OldFaithfulcap Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Jim Harbaugh vs a Washington State team? Hmmm hasn't gone well before (and i'm a niners fan). Really hoping that washington can win the game before the NCAA has to vacate Michigan's wins for spying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Championship games always have their intrinsic interest and I'm sure Michigan fans enjoyed the game but from a neutral's point of view I thought the game, other than Michigan's first quarter, was kind of 'meh'. Credit to Washington's defense for putting the brakes on what was shaping up to be a Michigan blow-out. But, really, the game just wasn't all that entertaining or particularly well-played. But congrats to Michigan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tend to be ok with teams you either rarely play or who aren't that successful. I'm definitely an outsider insider who appreciates good schemes so i was a fan of saban but i'm ok when texas/unc fall away. I do hate some teams, the sanders colorado buzz pissed me off as that dallas high school he ran was full of bs and colorado seems like the same stuff. I don't like penn state as those guys still defend paterno, michigan i dislike for their cheating and not a harbaugh fan and i hate lsu currently because brian kelly is an asshole and should have been held accountable for a player's death (used to like lsu before).

In OU’ 66-59 victory, Mayfield passed for 545 yards and seven touchdowns and Mahomes also threw five TD passes and tied the NCAA record with 734 passing yards. It was a game that set the new standard for offense with 1,708 total yards (an NCAA record — 854 for Oklahoma, 854 for Tech) and 125 points (the second-most points ever involving a ranked team). Yeah, 734 yards for Mahomes.....and a measly 545 for Baker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved manziel that first season too, though ryan swoope was fearless and made some great catches. I've read about the nebraska-ou rivalry of old. I remember the tommy frazier hype for the NFL. The TV thing was the same for me for the NFL. Watched the niners-giants as a kid and chose the niners because of their uniforms. Soon became a huge fan of montana/rice and have been since. Became a canucks fan as i loved the city when i visited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. When I started watching there weren't that many NFL games on tv. And many of those that were featured the Dallas Cowboys. Between the frequency of their games, their uniforms and, of course, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, I became a Cowboys fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the destroyer of worlds Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 12 team playoff for Football starting this upcoming season https://www.thescore.com/ncaaf/news/2849153 CFP board unanimously approves 5+7 format The College Football Playoff board of managers unanimously approved a new 12-team format Tuesday. The format will feature the five highest-ranked conference champions and seven at-large participants for 2024 and 2025. No conference will be guaranteed a berth, and there'll be no limits on the number of participants from any conference. The vote comes after the expected dissolution of the Pac-12. The new 12-team format was originally slated to feature six conference champions and six at-large participants. Under the new format, the four highest-ranked conference champions will receive first-round byes. Teams that face off in the first round will play at the home field of the higher-ranked program: No. 5 will host No. 12, No. 6 will play No. 11, No. 7 will host No. 10, and No. 9 will visit No. 8. Quarterfinal and semifinal games will be played in New Year's Six bowl games, while the CFP National Championship will remain a neutral-site contest. "This is a very logical adjustment for the College Football Playoff based on the evolution of our conference structures since the board first adopted this new format in September 2022," Dr. Mark Keenum, president of Mississippi State and chair of the CFP board of managers, said in a statement. "I know this change will also be well received by student-athletes, coaches, and fans. We all will be pleased to see this new format come to life on the field this postseason." Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama would've received first-round byes last year under the new format. Florida State, which would've been the fifth-ranked conference champion, would've hosted Oklahoma. In addition, Georgia would've played Ole Miss, Ohio State and Penn State would've met in Columbus, and Missouri would've visited Oregon in the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
