| FTBL 1st Round in '24, '25 CFP: The Playoffs - Games begin at noon: SMU v PSU, UC v TX, and UT vs OSU

[#80]

UT does not have the offensive weapons to hang and this is the best game of the year by far for the OSU QB.

Hurts when best player in sec is out.

 

[PurlJam]

Them UT guys need to swallow their pride and get some warmer duds on… it’s not their element..Then maybe they could keep up.. some of their players are getting injured because of the exposure of their limbs.

Not much you can do when the other team is yanking your drawers down and spanking that ass.

I try and not watch the Vile orange team but flipped it over just in time to see the Vile Right Tackle get abused and their QB get sacked. The cherry on top it is 35-10. Great to see the Viles getting drilled.

Saw where the dumb Vile players came out of the locker room w/o shirts on. This is what I always loved about Saban, he did not allow stupid crap like this to occur because it has NOTHING to do with beating the other team. Nonsense and right up teams like the Viles and Barn programs alley.

Never seen the Viles and Pride used in the same sentance.

Believe that one sends me to bed

Roll Tide

I may go out and shoot some fireworks tonight. If my neighbor didn’t have his water heater bust last night at midnight and flood out his house, I would do it without a thought! Tennessee going out with a whimper!

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

And osu isnt really that good.

They are the most dangerous team in the playoffs, IMO. Not the best, and they probably won't win it... but if they play to their potential (much like Bama) they could run them all. Unlike suck ass SMU or Boise, they have talent galore. And talent wins, even despite crap coaching sometimes. See also: LSU's 2 most recent national titles.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

no love lost here. Couldn’t be happier that UT won’t be advancing.

I think OSU has the most talented roster in the playoffs.

Seth with the cigar! Hell yes! You can take the boy out of Alabama, but...

The highest player payroll in the playoffs.

I guess if we are going to hammer SMU and Indiana about not belonging in the playoffs, we have to say the same thing about the Viles, correct? I thought Bama should have beaten them in Knoxville and think they along with there Fulmer 2.0 coach were/are overrated.

He fatter than Fulmer.

It's what makes the whole 12 team thing so weird... the fact that it's incredibly fluid week to week, and the music just all of a sudden stops one day and you have 12 teams standing. 2 weeks before the music stopped, the Vols were out of it. What made them playoff worthy in those 2 weeks? They beat UTEP and Vandy and a couple of other teams like Bama lost a game. If the season had continued 2 more weeks, and Bama won 2 more and the Vols lost to say, LSU... then they'd have been back out of it. And while I did think OSU would win tonight, I didn't expect that ass kicking... I was thinking a 10-14 point win. I do wonder though how it would have played out if that game had been in Neyland.

 

[Rolltide24]

He fatter than Fulmer.

His second chin is much larger.

 

[Davestwin]

If you’re in need of a few good laughs spend a few minutes on VolNation. If you have more than a few minutes, start looking at pregame comments then jump to the halftime pages before going to the last 10 or so pages. Wrap your ribs tight beforehand or you’re liable to break one or two.

That face mask call on their first defensive series turned the game. Yes, funny to say so early, but had an impressive stop quick and then two plays later touchdown. 21-0 fast after that.

UT just made the SEC look very weak… Now the talking heads will say there is a big gap between the Big10 and the SEC..

That cold weather was a huge force multiplier in the end..
