24- 17 Hawkeyes, Hawkeyes ball on the 3 yard line going into the 4th quarter.

Iowa gives up an INT in the end zone after marching down the field.

Go Hawkeyes! I'd love a 8-4 B1G team to take a 10-2 SEC team to the woodshed.

TCU with the backup QB should even out the out scale.

Do I really have to root for SC? Maybe letting the Big 12 have one wouldn't be too bad.

Mario needs to take some lesson on game management from Illinois.

Just tuning in, come on Illinois put the SEC in their place.

Oregon's D line has been hogging all the tackles make the LBs stats look bad. Just kidding Boettcher had 113 tackles this year.

It always seems that he tries to get a little too cute with the pass plays late in the game. Bo was the only QB that could pull them off consistently, probably because of extreme veteran status.

After watching atching a few TT games I'm more concerned with our offense. TTs D is fast and aggressive with lots of gang tackling and a great pass rush. TTs Offence while effective doesn't look as dominant. From what I saw the O line allows a bit of QB pressure especially on blitz's. A lot of sloppy tackling in the championship game by BYU led to lots of yards and first downs. JMU scoring on our D in the second half doesn't concern me. While there were some starters in, there were quite a few numbers I didn't recognize on the line and secondary.

How many junior QB's get used up by a bad team and then discard to become a backup or never play again. The best things that could happen to him is to fall in the draft to mid first round and sign with a team that has a chance like Bo. A big rookie contact is great but play the long game and the endorsements and contact extensions will payoff big time. Not to mention not getting thrown to the wolves playing for the Raiders or Browns.

9 games will help to clear up the current mess in SEC rankings there's just to many teams in the conference to only play 8.

The committee is factoring in injured players but not only playing 8 conference games? They should be personalized for a late season cupcake team as the other conferences take 50% losses. There's really only one way to make all of this not so subjective and that to move to a NFL style playoff by cutting these mega conferences down to where everyone plays each other in the conference. This is compound when you only play 8 games conference games. Let Alabama in but then get rid of T A&M. Letting the SEC have almost half the playoff spots is a positive feedback loop that just magnifies the narrative that the SEC is so dominant, they certainly weren't in last year's playoff despite what ESPN said.

The ACC went 4-6 against the SEC this year. Not exactly outright domination warranting no chance to prove it on the field in the CFP. Personally I like seeing the cross conference game of the best from all the conference getting their chance. If we only picked the "best teams" in the eyes of the TV rating bias media then it would be SEC vs B1G and ND every year with maybe one other. Should USC be in the playoffs? They only loss to teams ranked over 500. Could they beat Ta&m or Oklahoma, I think so. But did they prove they belong during the regular season, no. No conference should have more than 3 teams. These mega conferences make it so the regular season no longer determines who belongs at the top.

Giving the SEC 5 teams in the playoffs just seems wrong, sorry Bama you got it haded to you by a 5-7 ACC team. Leaving out the ACC completely shouldn't even be an option. All power conferences should have a chance to prove their leagues ability on the field.
