How many of the "playoff expansionist" are going to be watching the games tonight?
I don't want to get into that conversation but there is a theme this weekend I find ironic.
"We're seeing the same teams over and over."
"We need new blood or it's killing the sport."
..and then there was "Renaissance season™."
With around a dozen or so games this weekend there are 10 conference title games. In these ten conferences, seven will see a new team as conference champion this year: last years winner will be sitting at home (Clemson, Ohio State, and Oklahoma to name a few.)
In two of the games last years champion is an underdog: Bama and Oregon.
There's only one conference title game where last years winner is favored: Cincinnati in the AAC.
Which is a little...ironic?

Watching Oregon and Utah shows why Riley went to USC. Weak conference he can run over and get playoff spots with every couple of years. Oklahoma was fixin to not be that way anymore.

Baylor QB 14-14 with 5 minutes left in the 1st half. They’re putting it to the Cowboys. It’s their backup QB I should add.

Baylor picks off OKState QB twice in 3rd quarter and gets no points from them. 4th quarter, now an 8 point game. How you can be down a TD after 4 INTs and the other team having none is incredible. 21-13 Baylor.

Baylor is trying to lose this game. Dude just flat dropped the punt and Okie covered it. They sure better hope their D is up for this.,

Anyone thinking Okie State would be in the playoff was wrong.

If/When Bama beats Jawja, I was hoping Bama would get Okie St. They showed how overrated they are today.
I did a horrible job picking games this week. One in particular.
