Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Arizona State like Boise State has had some chances but the matchup along the LOS is too much of a mismatch to overcome.

This is a dumb question I know but could Ewers have flung that out toward a receiver for an incompletion? Bizarre play

Nah it’s fumble. He could only advance the ball forward by himself.

Who had a score of 5 on their bingo card?

Credit where it’s due but Arizona’s defense settled in nicely after that first drive.

Wasn't sure since it went backwards behind the line of scrimmage

Is ASU always this ass? College football really is something

The last RB in College Football to go 1500 + 500 was white also? What are the odds??

Not really, but it' an indictment on the differences between conferences top to bottom. I don't even think Texas is elite, but they have a clear talent and size advantage.

They’ve been up & down probably the last decade or so. But if they make a good hire like it appears they did with Kenny Dillingham they have potential to push into the top 25.

But Texas is just a different level of recruiting compared to them. You can count on your hand the teams that can out recruit Texas or be on the same level (Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, & maybe now Oregon) & Arizona State isn’t one of them.

Why are we having a bowl game with teams from the same conference? I thought they make it so that doesn't happen. Did that change? Is it the drugs?

Since we got some people in this thread now, can anyone answer this?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Arizona State just cannot get the right play called once they get in the redzone. Their defense has been great since the first 7 minutes of the first quarter

It’s a playoff format. So it’s kind of hard to avoid. Most of the best teams in the country come from the SEC & Big Ten.

I believe the priority was avoiding a 3rd game between teams, not the 2nd. So Georgia and Texas were on opposite sides of the bracket for example.

It would be pretty wild to get UGA/Texas for a third time, as well as a second time in Atlanta. I'm guessing the latter scenario has never happened before.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They agree to the format when we had a true P5. So if the Big Ten & SEC didn’t raid the other conferences of their big brands. You would have had Oregon (PAC-12), Georgia (SEC), Texas (Big 12), & Ohio State (Big Ten) as the four byes or something like that. So it would have alleviated some of the unbalance.

For a solid 30 seconds, I forgot the 2021 Title game was in Indy.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

What a play

One score game

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

At this point though I think you have to definitely go the top four teams in the standings should get the byes regardless of conference winners. You can still give the winners a spot in the playoffs but it shouldn’t get you a bye too like it did Arizona State & Boise State.

They're doing away with the byes for conference winners next year, right?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Nice snag!

Is that a targeting?

Who's wasting all that money on Ewers?

Sorry, this was in reference to Colorado and BYU playing the other night. I get the playoffs, but the random bowl game threw me off

 

[FLYguy3911]

That 6 mill offer just got pulled.

I’m not sure to be honest but can’t imagine they keep this current one after seeing it play out this year.

 

[flyershockey]

This is what Texas gets for not putting a team away. This has been their issue for two years.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m entertained regardless if Texas pulls this out which is all that should matter from a watcher standpoint.
