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.

And that's game.

If that was the case pulling their starters at halftime would be a mute point. Reading this board everyday and just about everyone is rooting for the Duck not to be in the top 4 considering every team in the to 4 lost last year. My point is that current system is flawed if a team took a dive to improve their playoff chances I wouldn't blame them.

This is an easy fix. Don't punish the number 4 seed for being the four seed. Give them a reasons to play to win, such a home field advantage.

Forsyth is on the Denver roster not sure he made it into the game.

Great game! OT is always fun.

Nix still making some avoidable mistakes but that's normal for a young QB in the league.

Have to say Mariota is looking as good as I've seen him in the NFL. His throws are well placed.

Oregon QBs facing off against each other on Sunday Night Football, so far both have had some great moments and some bad. Nix had an amazing TD throw as he was being dragged to the ground. Mariota has made timely runs and veteran throws.

I fully agree with you having Dak and Gary makes it impossible for teams to double Sadiq all night. Most the time Dak was drawing doubles and running 2 guys way down the field to open up a lot in the passing game for everyone else. When Benson is your 4th pass catcher you have some pretty talented guys on the team.

Really need to stop it with the PFs

Atticus having a day, carrying the team.
