Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs

Bama >>> Indiana. Everybody knew it.

Which Bama?

Bama played bad enough to lose to this Indiana team at least 5 times this season.

Bama's ceiling is higher, and the have more NFL talent, but they were not the unequivocally better team this year.

 

[Da Lama]

Looks like Lagway went off after you posted this.

Not really. 49 QBR. Tulane was a shell
Without Mensah.

 

[Darth Snow]

They should have won. No doubt. They are better than IN. That’s all.

Nah

 

[Del]

Bama got their ass kicked by a ****ty OU team. They deserve to sit this one out.

 

[Del]

I’m glad Prime and Rick George aren’t whiny bitches like the Alabama AD

 

[Robert Sorell]

Rourke doesn't hesitate to throw into good coverage.

 

[Da Lama]

ND’s defense looks slow. Definitely the weaker of the two sides.

 

[DBT]

BS call on holding.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

But are they better than SMU?

This CFP is a blast but of the teams in it there's maybe 8 of the 12 best teams. Boise and Clemson were auto bids but IU and SMU combined had zero wins of substance combined.

ND has zero wins of substance then, Texas has zero.

A&M doesn't count

Yea that was a weak call

 

[Darth Snow]

I'm enjoying the sec crying. Play 9 conference games then come talk.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

That’s true. So is my statement.

I think Bama would likely beat ASU, Clemson, SMU, PSU, Boise, and Indiana. At some point, these teams gotta win their games to have an argument. 1 loss P4 should always get in over a 3 loss Bama

I don’t think BSU was an auto bid were they?

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Everyone gets focused on who you lost to but the focus should be on who did you play and who did you beat.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Yes

 

[Darth Snow]

Mercer!

 

[Creebuzz]

I find it weird that Indiana’s official name is Indiana University and not University of Indiana.

And the official name of their opponent is Notre Dame du Lac.

 

[Robert Sorell]

Top 5 ranked conference champs are autobids.

Oregon, Georgia, BSU, ASU, Clemson

 

[Not Sure]

Notre Dame’s helmets have always seemed to me like they’re just spray painted.

They are.

 

[DBT]

Oregon, Georgia, BSU, ASU, Clemson

Yeah. Just looked it up. So Boise will be a Top 4 seed every year because they play nobody.

So Vandy is in?

And Georgia Tech would have been if they pulled off the OT win over Georgia?

 

[L Buff]

They are.

But there's REAL GOLD flakes in the paint!

At least that's what they tell us.

 

[Jens1893]

And the official name of their opponent is Notre Dame du Lac.

So shouldn’t it be Notre Dame fighting french boys instead of Irish?

 

[Robert Sorell]

Yeah. Just looked it up. So Boise will be a Top 4 seed every year because they play nobody.

Only if the Big XII preseason rankings are upside down again.

If ASU was #25 to start the year, they'd be ahead of Boise, and if SMU or Miami won the ACC, or Clemson didn't throw a stupid INT late against the Gamecocks, then BSU would be like the 10 or 11 seed this year.

The fighting frogs has a good sound to it.

 

[Jens1893]

So Vandy is in?

And Georgia Tech would have been if they pulled off the OT win over Georgia?

And Nebraska if they’d scored 50 points more against IU.

 

[DBT]

They are.

What!? And give up those late season games against marshmallow FCS teams? But it's an $EC tradition!

Those preseason rankings are a real problem.
