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

[Hardkore]

It looks like SMU didn’t exactly deserve to be in the playoffs.

I wonder if Clemson will be any better.

Last nights game was 27-3 in the 4th quarter, today’s first game is 31-3 in the 4th quarter. Great football games…

The losses to Vandy and Okie are inexcusable. However, the CFP is supposed to be the 12 best teams. Period. Not the 12 most "deserving" teams. Simple question: Would Bama have done better against ND and Penn State? Simple answer: Yes.

You are 100% correct. We hold Bama to a different standard (and we should), but the CFP should hold all teams to the same standard (and don’t) Liberal every one gets a trophy (chance) system

Those two losses are inexcusable, and are what got us out of the playoffs in the committees eyes. But we had wins against Georgia, South Carolina, and Missouri. That's a win against the SEC champions, and two teams CURRENTLY ranked in the CFP polls. SMU has how many of those?

That guy from the B1G that kelp putting Bama in around 11 spot. He knew what he was doing, He didn't want any type of feel back from Bama fans. Then when the voted counted for the Playoff, he put SMU in and left Bama out.

In all fairness when Milroe took the reins Bama had just gone through some of the best QB play that we have had in the history of the program. Even with that said, incosistent QB play is hard to overcome even with a great athlete. I am one that believes Milroe can become a very good QB in the NFL. The guy is a freak athlete and if he is able to focus just on football and his development, I think he will do some really good things in the NFL. Probably why he is still regarded highly in the draft because it can't be based on his on field performance this year. The great Milroe games he was unstoppable.

Meh.

I think he’s more of an Anthony Richardson. Super athletic, not sure he’s got sustainability in the NFL. That backyard ball doesn’t play in the NFL.

Hope I’m wrong though.

These two game so far aren't the best! Now will these next two be any better?

First two games have proven that the committee doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

I repeat what I said last night after the ND - Indiana game. Well, the 2nd game of the 12 team playoff at least proved one thing. The system needs some serious tweaking.

 

[Secondand26]

I like the way Peter Burns put it:

Hopefully the committee members are all reflecting on their decisions, and coming to terms with it.

Give Clumpson time. It usually takes them a quarter or so to realize they suck.

 

[PurlJam]

There they are.
