at least bama didn’t get in, right guys?

I honestly thought that SMU would show better.

as i hinted at earlier in this thread, k-state fans should know as well as anyone what the difference is between these mega programs and finding a way to win 11 games.

I wonder if it will improve over the years. Will this new format allow teams like SMU to recruit better talent and fare better in the future?

True - but like bucket said, I think opportunity may help competition.

I was basing my thoughts on Penn State’s struggles in big games under Franklin. They played well today.

As an aside - These Clemson D-Line slants are a travesty

I think SMU’s billionaire boosters will help more.

Yeah, didn’t expect every game to be a total bore.

Perhaps I’ve spoken too soon

Wait I just realized the QUARTERFINALS are neutral sites? lol that's so dumb

i’m interested to see the attendance numbers next week

College football peaked with the BCS.

Texas gets a de facto home game in the semis after they dispatch Arizona State, hadn't realized that until now.

Holding out hope that ASU can play with them. They’re pretty rugged.

nicname · « **Reply #142 on:** December 22, 2024, 02:38:18 PM »

Texas opens as a 13.5 pt favorite. It will move toward ASU. Doubt it goes less than 10 tho.

wetwillie · « **Reply #143 on:** December 22, 2024, 02:49:21 PM »

ASU doesn't have the athletes along the lines to hang with UT. It will be a slaughter.

Texas fields teams like this every year and consistently loses games to teams with similar talent to ASU.

Must be why they are two score favorites and best odds to win the whole thing

I miss when Ubben used to cover the big12.

chum1 · « **Reply #149 on:** December 31, 2024, 03:04:08 PM »

I would add to Ubben's remarks that I'd also love to see a team not "worthy of consideration for a national title" win the playoff. Whether it's a G5 or a multiple loss P2.
