Not covering Warren is a bold strategy.

I respect that opinion. I think for me, it is more about who is trending in the right direction and who can compete right now. Bama has been struggling and couldn’t even score against TD against a team with 2 conference wins. South Carolina has won 6 straight games down the stretch. Three of those games were against Top 25 teams in the month of November and may include a CCG winner if Clemson beats SMU. For me, one team is trending up, while the others (Miami, Bama, and Ole Miss) are trending down. I would have liked to see South Carolina get rewarded for their improvement on the field over the past 2 months.

Agree with this. It should have been South Carolina. While Alabama was busy losing to a 2-6 conference team, South Carolina has been on a roll since October, beating three ranked teams in the process.

All I know is that Penn State is bringing a knife to a gun fight. 😂

Looks like they will avoid disaster. Nice job Ducks.

This would be a terrible loss. USC is 171 in the NET and I believe that is the lowest BIG team. This will be a Q3 or Q4 loss. Need to get it together and win this game.

Need to really pick it up in the second half on the offensive end.

How many bunnies has Bamba missed this year? Come on Ducks.

Rough start. Hopefully we turn the corner here and start making some shots. 🤮

The fact that they will likely penalize SMU for losing that game is insane. I know they won’t do it, but they should refuse to play.

osu2 continues to have a tragic week….extending to the hoops team. Just wow.

lol. What is this? Is Oregon being punished for being the new kid on the block? Harmon basically lived in the backfield the entire year - 3rd team? Matayo - Leads conference in sacks - 2nd team? 🤮

I think it is very likely and almost a done deal that the 5 seed is going to get some combination of the BIG-12 winner and Mountain West winner in the first and second rounds. The benefit of being the 5 seed is that you potentially have the easiest path to the semifinals, even though you have to play an extra game. You are going to have to beat the best eventually anyways to win the whole thing, so I sure hope Oregon wins on Saturday. But if for some reason they don’t, it’s probably not the end of the world. I think that last SEC team will end up as the 11 seed, but we shall see. I would also love to beat Alabama. My niece is in school there right now. 😎

They probably still have osu2 No. 1 in their rankings.

There is one stat that truly outlines how big of an upgrade Lanning was from Cristobal. Cristobal lost to 4 unranked conference opponents in three years at Oregon. Lanning lost to 0 unranked conference opponents in three years at Oregon.

Yeah. Thinking South Carolina probably did enough to get the last spot, but we will see on Tuesday.

I think the interesting story line this week is who is going to be ranked 11 and be the last at-large team in the field prior to CCG week. The three candidates that I see are Miami, Alabama, and South Carolina. Miami - Can Miami really be in the field with 2 losses to unranked teams (should have been at least 4) and no ranked wins. If they are, something is seriously wrong with the process. Alabama - Will Alabama get the nod based on past history? They are in slightly better position than Miami, even with the additional loss. South Carolina - Took 3 early losses, but have been on an absolute roll since about the middle of October. In that time they have racked up 3 wins against teams in the CFP Top 25. IMO, South Carolina is the team that deserves this last spot. Question - If Clemson wins the ACC Championship is SMU safely in? IMO, they should be.

He was WIDE OPEN on that second series. If Gabriel sees him, he’s probably still running.

Need to put another score on them before half.

Wow. Miami continues to be a team that is very undisciplined. That was a huge penalty that probably held them to 3 on that drive. And just like that, they essentially lose the game on a stupid penalty. We are so lucky Mario left and we ended up with Dan.

Agree with this. You are still in the playoffs, so I don’t see them firing Day right now. However, a first round exit in the playoff might do it. He better win a couple games.

Wow. GT leaving points on the table on multiple possessions, but still up 10-0.

I agree too. In no case should a team that made it to the conference championship be penalized for losing that game ( in terms of not getting in). If you are in before the game, you should be in after, regardless of the result.

Did a much better job on the glass today, which was good to see.

I’ll go a step further and say that Georgia should be No. 3. I would bet Georgia against ND, Miami, and Penn State. And we know how they faired against Texas.
