2016 College Football Championship Weekend

[Leonardfan]

WMU goes undefeated. Washington destroyed Colorado.

Hoping Ok St. upsets the Sooners today, a clemson loss which will put the winner of the Wisco-PSU game into the football play off.

 

[Leonardfan]

All the "experts" hyping up the San Diego St. RB over Wyoming. I hope the Cowboys win the MWC.

 

[Leonardfan]

Even with the playoff system there is still a huge human influence and bias. Just from what I have observed everyone is talking like Ohio St is deserving of a spot in the playoff no questions asked. Oklahoma St. should be a 1 loss team due to the gaffe in the CMU game. I feel that the committee is doing their best to keep teams that "look" the part - overwhelmingly black, black quarterback in place rather than let teams with white QB and more white players overall in. I think even if Clemson were to lose they will make an excuse why they should stay in the playoff rather than allow Michigan, PSU or Wisconsin in. If Alabama were to lose they would still be ranked number 1. Ohio St. is being rewarded even though they did not make it to the conference championship. The system is rigged for sure.

I think Washington certainly fits the "look" they don't want. They only have one loss and just blew out Colorado to win the Pac12 Championship. We know Alabama and Ohio State are a lock. If Clemson wins, they are too. After that, I don't know how Washington shouldn't be the fourth pick, outside of not having the "look" they are looking for. I'm hoping V-Tech beats Clemson and opens the door for Washington and the winner of the PSU/Wisconsin game.

Honestly if Alabama is upset they should be considered to drop out of the top 4. Florida isn't a great team and the sec was a joke of a conference this year. I hope va tech does us a favor and wins to get a big ten team in there ( i really think Wisconsin can matchup with Alabama in all aspects of the game). I can see the comittee screwing over Wisconsin by putting Michigan in their.

Kinda catching the vibe.... that Clemson (bogus chop block vs Fla St on long run + personal foul on coach).....Ohio State (clearly short 1st down marked in OT which Harbaugh let them know) & Alabama ( missed 3 holding calls on only TD vs LSU)....have been beneficiaries of the momentous game changing calls throughout the season...not saying it's rigged but more benefit of the doubt

Washington should be in after the Colorado beatdown

5'-8" WR Trent Taylor had ONLY one scholarship offer..... La.Tech...over 309 Career Receptions so far

 

[Leonardfan]

Mayfield just threw a great deep pass for a long Ok St. gain. The more I watch him the more I like him as an NFL QB.

Washington should be in with no issue at all. My issue is Ohio St getting the free ride - they barely beat MSU and were given the game last week vs Michigan yet still remain an unquestioned viable playoff contender. Alabama played a soft conference schedule IMO as well - just being in the SEC gives the committee a bias. The human element and bias play such a big role in this playoff. I think the best answer is to expand to eight teams.

 

[Heretic]

Commentator mentioned how both teams in the LaTech vs WKU game were playing "embarrassingly" on defense and then mentioned the prevalence of "mental errors" as well. Both team's defenses mostly coal, of course.

41-38 LaTech with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd Qtr.

 

[TwentyTwo]

QB Jesse Ertz rushed for 170 yards & TD vs TCU

Trent Taylor 11 receptions for 108 yards

Western Kentucky O-Lineman Forrest Lamp is rated #3 OG for the NFL Draft

Trent Taylor 11 receptions for 108 yards

You beat me to it. I was going to post both of these stats as well as I was switching between these games. The only thing I can add is that Taylor now has 1570 receiving yards for the season with the bowl game to go. He should easily go over 1600 yards and with a good game, 1700 yards. It'll be interesting (and telling) if he gets an invite to one of the Senior bowls and/or an invite to the NFL combine.

 

[northwinds]

Austin Ramesh scores the first TD for Wisconsin.......I guess he's a FB......looking at his HS stats he had over 1600 yards rushing as a RB his senior year with another 28o receiving......

 

[Riggins44]

On Wisconsin!!! how many white players did they start in this game?

 

[icsept]

Wisconsin looking good. TJ Watt in beast mode. I guess their only chance is to win and hope for VT to upset Clemson.

 

[Riggins44]

Penn State with a poor snap over McSorley's head and Connelly recovers it for a TD. Wisconsin up 21-7.

 

[Riggins44]

And now TJ Watt with the sack, forced fumble, and fumble recovery. Wisconsin's defense really is strong. It's a damn shame they didn't beat Michigan and are going to miss the playoff.

Wisco should get in with a Clemson loss.

 

[icsept]

Wisconsin is pure college football. They recruit the best players from their home state. No need to bring in mediocre negroes from Texas and Florida. I wish Bob Stoops or Mike Gundy would adopt that strategy, and maybe their defenses wouldn't be absolute garbage every year.

 

[Leonardfan]

Td gentry!

 

[Freethinker]

How about Trace McSorley tearing up a good Wisconsin defense?! He's gotten really good as the season's progressed.

 

[celticdb15]

Wisconsin is a disgrace, can never finish and take the next step,goddamnit! Lose to mulatto James Franklin, pieces of **** don't have a clutch bone in their bodies. Wisconsin fans have been continually let down last six year's(since 2010 SB victory) . So disappointing, most white friendly defense loses because of inept 80% afflete dbs.. ****!!

Good front7, Musso only one worth anything in back half. Good for McSorley but HC will get all the credit.

McSorely torched the secondary. I didn't really follow PSU much this year since Hackenberg has gone and I don't like Franklin but McSorely has really come along. Wisconsin's reliance on the run game rather than developing a quality passing attack to compliment the run can have negative effects like we saw tonight. Wisconsin still had a hell of a season and were a fun team to watch. Chryst needs to start developing the passing game more with Hornibrook as a focal point rather than compliment of the offense.

I would rather see PSU in the final four than Clemson or Ohio St.

 

[Average American]

How about Trace McSorley..

McSorley was good. They just announced him as the game MVP.
I like McSorley's vertical game. Penn St isn't afraid to go long.
I also agreed with the case Penn St's coach made. They won the toughest conference in the country. My opinion, PSU belongs in the Final 4, not The Ohio caSTe, who Penn St beat..

Taylor did ineed get a senior bowl invite which is a huge thing especially for a white skill position player.
