NCAA: 2020 College Football Thread Part 2

I bet Bama will take OSU lightly- they act like they think they're bulletproof.

 

[c9777666]

Notre Dame isn't a fraud, and that's the real College Football Playoff problem

Basically, unless you root for those teams, you need to hope for an LSU outlier.

CFB has turned from a national sport to a 3-team sport

After Lawrence, i think Wilson has as good a chance as Fields. Somebody is going to trade back and get a fortune is my guess. It’s a big Sunday to see what the order is after Jags/Jets

Before yesterday I'd have actually made the case Wilson was ahead of Fields. Fields put himself back in front of Wilson after last night although I still want to see how he handles Bama first. Deshaun Watson put himself on the map beating Bama, let's see this kid do it too.

I bet Bama will take OSU lightly- they act like they think they're bulletproof.

There's no way Saban lets that happen after the way they destroyed Clemson.

Another take on Notre Dame's past 20 years + of futility in the play offs and bowl games..

What Gives for Notre Dame After Another College Football Playoff Blowout Loss?

First three draft picks could be QB's with Florida's Kyle Trask having a Heisman type year.

Pumped about the Buckeyes. I also hope Dabo is crying. f*** that guy.

QBs who have played in at least 2 national championship games - Lawrence, Jameis, McCarron, Leinart, Tommie Frazier, Steve Davis, Jerry Tagge.

Sucks Lawrence lost and won't get a chance to play in a 3rd but hats off to an incredible career. 2 losses, a championship as a true freshman and the CFP every single season.

For the final time this season... @GKJ If you want to be the only person to get a $2000 stimulus....go with The Bear (who was 0-3 yesterday) on these critical bowl games:

Ole Miss plus 9.5 over Indiana
Kentucky minus 2.5 over NC State
North Carolina plus 8.5 over aTm

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Outcoached and out played.

Clemson’s First Offensive Series was quick and fast to the outside. They went slow the rest of the way.

Defensively, Clemson was confused on the first series and never had an answer.

Ohio State was better everywhere. Especially both LOS and coaching.

How do you get outcoached by a nobody??

Ole Miss is out a ton of guys and IU is 7-0 ATS.

Under is the best play in the game.

 

[PanthersPens62]

ESPN reporting Herman is out at Texas & Sark will be the new head coach. Come on Texas......you gotta break the bank here & go for Urb!!!

No way on UNC, ACC has been awful in the bowls.

The game against OSU will give Lawrence a taste of what to expect in the NFL to begin his career.

Weaker OLine, which is expected from a bottom team. Thus limited running game, despite how good a RB you have.
Weaker D that can't stop the opposition, thus more pressure to on you to put up points to keep up.

So of course I didn't actually play it

Never thought I'd see the day Wilson's LEO were better than Archie's disaster in Bloomington.

NC State's center hurts himself celebrating a TD

Oklahoma is 0-4 in the semis with 3 blowout losses and has choked in big bowl games for 20 years but get a free pass because they’re not ND

A-C-C!

A-C-L!

 

[Canes]

Indiana loses to one of the worst defenses in bowl history. Grats Hoosiers.

 

[c9777666]

Lane Kiffin beating Tom Allen is proof that karma does not exist.

one of the least likeable coaches in CFB yet somehow he keeps falling up

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Indiana loses to one of the worst defenses in bowl history. Grats Hoosiers.

Defended well enough to win, but the play calling was atrocious. Don't know why they refused to run it in the 1st half. Scott only getting 19 carries was so stupid.

 

[c9777666]

Congrats to Ole Miss on winning another middle of the tier bowl game

they haven’t won anything meaningful in the SEC in decades, but you can’t stop average bowl game Ole Miss

lane Kiffin can kick rocks

You can (somewhat rightfully) ding the shit out of OU, but it at least has a national title + a runner-up in that span + it beat an Alabama team in the Sugar Bowl in 2013 that was 11-1 going in. It has 2 Sugar Bowls, a Fiesta Bowl and an Orange Bowl win in the last 20 years.

Notre Dame? Their bowl wins since they beat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1994:

2008 - d. Hawaii (7-7) in the Hawaii Bowl to finish 7-6
2010 - d. Miami (7-6) in the Sun Bowl to finish 8-5
2013 - d. Rutgers (6-6) in the Pinstripe Bowl to finish 9-4
2014 - d. LSU (8-5) in the Music City Bowl to finish 8-5
2018 - d. LSU (9-4) in the Citrus Bowl to finish 10-3
2019 - d. Iowa State (7-6) in the Camping World Bowl to finish 11-2

OU has at least beaten some good-to-really good teams on occasion. Notre Dame either beats crappy teams or gets the shit kicked out of it.

Oklahoma has beaten a 4 loss Auburn team in a recent sugar bowl, 4 loss UConn in the fiesta bowl, and a Florida team without its best player in the Cotton bowl.

Outside of the sugar bowl vs Bama, they have spit the bit when it matters most outside of that one national title outlier.
