Continuing the Derrick Henry discussion from the other thread, David Montgomery's last 3 games were 11/113/1, 17/72/2, 11/103. The teams he faced were Green Bay, Detroit & Houston.
Get The King in your fantasy lineups.
Norte Dame choking again. It’s going to be 2 SEC schools again
Just this year. I wouldn’t mind it full time thoughI'm assuming this is a conference final? I guess I missed ND joining the ACC....

Wouldn’t matter if ND got in nor does it if Ohio State got in. Clemson or Alabama are the only teams that can win itAfter reading a bit I think ND still makes it as the 4 seed. They still have a win over Clemson, and they played a full schedule. Ohio St getting in having only played 6 games and only 2 games against teams with winning records is a joke(sorry Viqsi).

And if this keeps on for a few more years I suspect people will stop giving a crap. If the finalmis Clemson v Bama 8 out of 10 season who is ever gonna give a crap outside of their fanbases?
Can you imagine if March Madness always ended up with Duke vs Kentucky?
I’m already basically there. Haven’t cared about college football in a very long time. The power somehow consolidated across a handful of programs over the past decade and that’s not something I’m really interested in watching.
The great thing about the March Madness deal is that in basketball it’s so much more possible for a team to beat a superior team on a given night. You’ve got to field too many players in football and good coaches with superior talent will find that weak link eventually and exploit it. It’s not impossible for an MTSU to beat a current day Bama in football* but I think we all know the likelihood of that is much much lower than when MTSU beat Michigan State in the tourney a few years back.
*It might be impossible.
The other problem being that college football as it stands now has the playoff committee who would never give MTSU a chance to beat Bama in the playoffs as it stands now. We’ve got two very good undefeated teams in Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina that are going to almost certainly get passed over for Notre Dame or A&M who already got blown out by Clemson and Bama. I wouldn’t bet on Coastal or Cinci to beat Clemson or Bama but crazier upsets have happened.
In fairness, Notre Dame has already beat Clemson once. Tough to beat a team like that much less to have to do it twice. Neither Cincinnati nor Coastal have played any team remotely close to that level. Do you believe ND should have had to beat Clemson twice to get in, if so shouldn’t they have to face a team of that level once?

NitreNotre Dame is tough since they beat a Clemson team missing their best player on both sides of the ball. If Notre Dame had kept it close yesterday I think they’d have a better argument. I’d be fine with Ohio State out and Notre Dame in though.
I'd have Cincy at #6, honestly. I want that contest of Ohio teams, because I have confidence in my Buckeyes - and at the same time, Cincy is getting seriously f***ing screwed by the selection process. It's absurd.Official
1 Ala vs 4 ND
2 Clem vs 3 Ohio St
8 teams would have been perfect...
1 Ala vs 8 Cincinnati
2 Clem vs 7 Pac 12 champ
3 Ohio St vs 6 Oklahoma
4 ND vs 5 Texas A&M
