And so is LSU...Geaux Tigers!
Watched 12 hours of football on Saturday, not counting nap time. Joe Burrows is an amazing QB. Nerves of steel, incredible talent. Sooners will have more than their hands full, no prediction on Clemson/Ohio State but it'll be LSU vs ??.

This year, for the national championship, I'm still pulling for the Tigers but not the ones from Clemson (I apologize to Jimmy and my Uncle Oz...he was an A#1 Clemson fan and graduated from there back in the '50's) ...I'm pulling for the purple and gold from Baton Rouge...Geaux Tigers
I do, however, hope Clemson can hand THE Ohio State university a very satisfying and much one-sided loss....ain't a Buckeye fan.
I'm just tickled that team from Tuscaloosa is not in the mix this year...so glad my Tigers as well as those from LSU had a hand in that elimination...War Eagle
Clemson and LSU in the final would be one heck of a ballgame... ;D

Joe couldn't even break second string at The Ohio State University, guess that show the level of depth there.

LSU will win their first playoff game for sure. I think Ohio vs Clemson will be close. Being born and raised in MI, I could never root for Ohio, even though I left MI in 1981.
Tigers vs Tigers would be a good championship game.

One of my riding buddies lives in Chickasha and is a huge Okie fan. Was big on here at one time(how we met) but dropped off cause it got to restrictive. Sad but if you look around a lot of the long timers are gone. My Kid and I went to Oklahoma and picked him up and went on to Red River, NM and rode the West for a week...….1st time we had met face to face. Times change!!!
BTW: I hope the Sooners roll LSU cause I like Hurts a bunch, since he left Ballyamma.
Red River area is sure a pretty place to ride. Oh yes times change, and rhe older I get the harder it is to accept the way the world has changed. I remember my grandpa fussing about the same things we fuss about though.
Think Hurts is a good kid, he has done well for OU this year. I would love to see him in the Championship game just out of spite for Bama...lol.
Your Clemson boys sure look good this year but LSU has too. Thinking it will be a game to watch till the very end.

This year there isn't much controversy as to the Top 4 picked for the playoffs. Would still like to see it go beyond those 4 to allow more conference champions included as contenders. Do not hear much about that this year, but in the next year or 2 the 4 picks will be very controversial & then it will start up again.
Top 4 should make for great playoff games. May the best team win & not because of the refs.

Agreed on the need for a real playoff. 4 teams is not enough. Also agreed on the NY 6 bowls. When I was a kid that was the big deal. These bowls could be utilized in a playoff system and can see "consolation" bowls for the losing teams.
Am a transplant, have only been in Florida 25 years. Am a Texan by birth & raising & a Texas Longhorn. This year we are the ranks of teams that are over paying coaches and assistant coaches for mediocre performances and as a result we get a mediocre bowl. Was not a fan of the Tidy Bowls as they cropped up to offer paydays to 6-6 schools (like FSU) & in my opinion 7-5 (Longhorns) is one game better but does not warrant a celebration such as a bowl game. Know all the arguments about "well it's a payday for the school & good tv exposure & recruiting & the fans get to go to celebrate & have a vacation & yadda yadda." Boolsheet. It's another example of elementary school where everybody gets a trophy even if they should be sitting on their azzes to watch the ones who truly excelled get their trophies. Am not sure what type of dinosaur I am, but it's the kind that thinks participation trophies and awards are a joke - including the college football Tidy Bowls.

8 team would crown a unquestioned champ, but you would still have at least one of the 8 crying after it was over about how they were really the best if the refs hadn't screwed them that first game

Yes, that is true. We will also have crying this year in one of the 3 championship games about refs and how if this 1 play had gone the other way with no penalty then blah blah. Very safe bet.
Not specifically any team or any 1 conference but this ref call/no call on pass interference makes the game less enjoyable for me In general, the pass interference no calls are a real oddity - across the board. Sometimes the secondary can play handsie & jump in the receivers lap & grab his arms & do the cha-cha before the pass & the ref - standing right there - doesn't call it. Other times the secondary can barely brush a receiver & the ball is 10 yards over the guys head & it's pass interference. The contact rules as they are interpreted these days stink on ice.

The targeting rule needs to go, because it has really always been around. They used to call it spearing and only called it if looked like an attempt to inflict injury or used as a payback. It always seems to be called more when the game is on the line. Stopping the action when a team is on a roll is extremely unfair. Tempo wins games!!!
Another way teams themselves stall out tempo is "injury timeouts." A player takes a hit & fakes an injury to stop the clock, especially when their team is out of timeouts. Is not possible to determine if that injury was real or not but sometimes these look extremely convenient, timely, and stall out an opponent who is on a roll. One way to stop this would be: any player who halts play for any injury is out for the rest of that entire possession - on defense or offense. Or out for the rest of that quarter. As it stands now, some grin on the sideline then come back in 1 play later. Most injuries are real, some are not.

When you see a player that's fine & walking around, but suddenly falls down to stop play - that needs to be addressed. Make them leave the game for a series of downs.

Points spread should have just got bigger with OU losing 3 players. Loosing the D lineman will make a bad defensive non existent
Hated to hear that but it speaks volumes for Coach Riley. Brings back bad memories though....before the Championship Game in '16, Swinney suspended their leading WR and lost much worse that the score showed. We need those type of coaches to lead our young people. Many coaches (one from Alabama for sure) will suspend rule violators and law breakers and then right before the big game players will be reinstated. Good luck to the Sooners, but damn man!!!
