OT: College Football Playoffs Quarterfinal Games 12/31-1/1 Tues-Weds
- Thread starter rutgersguy1
- Start date
Georgia did run an extra safety on the field who then jogged off taking a scenic route. All part of the game.
Would be nice for the semi and final to rotate out of the South. I think there is an inherent bias towards southern teams - Texas being able to play in Dallas provides a home field advantage. Don’t know if that is very level playing field. Put a game in Indianapolis - playing under the roof at Lucas Oil is no different than the Superdome.
And I also still really like the conference champions getting first round byes. No reseeding - winning the championship should mean something.

Go Death Star!!
Like the Super Bowl, I suppose they generally like warm weather locations. The big bowls are all there as well and they’re incorporated into the CFP.
No conference champions in the semifinals. All the bye teams lost.
Texas in by the hair on their chinny chin chin and hopefully OSU sends them out on their ass at home in Texas
But but muh best teams! Pencil in Oregon vs Georgia...
Exactly, expansion is a good thing imo.
ND like OSU wouldn’t have been in without it.
It’s big enough to make sure all the teams with realistic chances to win it all are in. It also gives opportunities to lower status and outside the box teams to reach some good achievements as well.
Let it be determined on the field, not hypotheticals.
Texas in because of the terrible non-targeting call. I don't like the home field advantage they effectively will have vs tOSU.
ND PSU, OSU TX. I can't. I just threw up a little in my mouth by slightly rooting for ND over GA, as my dislike for the SEC now exceeds my dislike for ND, which I never thought would happen. And ND vs. PSU, the two teams I've hated the most my whole life? Just shoot me. Maybe they could tie at 0-0 and then have one team win 2-0 in 14 OTs and then get destroyed by OSU in the final. OSU is the only team I can even root slightly for, as a B1G team.
Now now BIG10 success helps Rutgers!
Although I really don't like any announcers anymore, as Communication Schools have the verbiage, and screaming when big plays are happening universal across the board, anymore everything is formulaic. The nepotism case Sean McDumbass is the worst!

No Saban and NIL/portal weakens those top teams and strengthens others. I’ve said it over and over, opportunity is better than ever from the top on down in CFB.
It hard to create and maintain a super team and others also have the opportunity to improve their own teams.
The SEC has good teams this year but not great teams. Everyone in the country is flawed.
The skewering of IU and SMU is what pissed me off towards them, as if they were definitively better when they weren’t. There are more flaws as you go down the rankings so it’s hard to be definitive one way or the other so don’t act like you’re god’s gift when you’re not. Them and all their pundits were just over the top, now not a peep.
The NCAA rulebook states that you can't substitute more than 11 players "while the ball is in play" (AR 3-5-2-I) ncaapublications.com/p-4705-2024-nc…Replay shows the long snapper had not gotten set or touched the ball before the mass substitution, making it a dead ball and a legal play youtu.be/B78JMxYQoDM?si…

You can never substitute more than 11 players. 11 is the maximum allowable on the field. Do you mean substitute more than 10?
Buoyed by transfers, Irish knock UGA out of CFP
Notre Dame got starring performances from transfers such as QB Riley Leonard in Thursday's 23-10 win over Georgia in a CFP quarterfinal, giving the Irish one of their biggest victories in decades.
All about the portal…
Does the NFL drop confetti and hand out trophies for each round of the playoffs??
It wasn’t my comment but was just a copy/paste from an excerpt under the Smart video which wasn’t viewable unless you clicked the tweet.
But I think what it means by more than 11 is like what we saw in the game. The punt team coming on which I guess was 11 and then the offense rushing back out which was another 11. So that’s 22.
Well technically they still take place in the bowls so I suppose they still want to do all their traditional pageantry etc…
We watched the games on ESPNU...the Skycast. No announcers. It was glorious. Just the game and the regular in game guy in the booth (think our Joe Nolan)
Flipped to ESPN when we needed an explanation for something
Yeah I get it but it's kind of stupid to make such a big deal anymore about still calling them bowl games. Especially when most media was calling them college playoff games. ESPN posting them since after the first round as QF playoff games, ignoring the bowl affiliation until the pregame shows start.
I don't mind at all of the non playoff bowl games because it's just one game. And a lot of money for the conferences for each of their teams getting 6 wins.
Very happy with the final 4. 2 B1G teams and 2 wanna be B1G teams. So tired of my SEC friends (even yesterday) telling me 2nd and 3rd string SEC players could beat the best teams in the north. The best teams are mostly on an even playing field now. Hope to see more parity in the future.
