Other College Games Thread: CFP Round 1

[TTaylor2135]

Only reason I’m nervous now is if the refs get a call “we need one close game”

It is time to recognize the CFB Committee is not about good football as much as it is about big TV viewing numbers.  It is scared to generating the maximum TV ad revenues, not the best teams playing each other.

I’m not sure I agree because the tv numbers would be better with SEC teams versus IU and SMU.

This SMU/PSU game feels like it’s taking forever.

Six of the top 10 teams are in the SEC. Two or three in the B1G. Then ND or another SEC team.  Every one else fighting to be in 10-25.

More eyeballs in the Mid West and Texas than the rural deep South.  TV numbers over the merit of the teams'  season records.  TV is big on the Coasts then the mid west and Texas.  Everything else is peanuts.

Announcers are still trying to talk up SMU as a team that proved all year that it deserved to be in the playoffs but just had a bad first half.

Bwahahahahahahahahahah

Amen Madden rule should have been enforced

[Tuco Ramirez]

Damn. Still the whole 4th quarter to go.

[4thandFive]

3 points for SMU so far.

 

I will be nervous for sure because, Texas fan, but Clemson surely didn’t do this to SMU.

[Bunk Moreland]

This game reminds me a bit of the first Georgia game. PSU hasn’t been particularly impressive offensively, but SMU has turned it over and given them consistently strong field position.

Yeah a little bit. The two pick sixes ended the game before it every really got going.

[4thandFive]

Man the backup QB plays in a playoff game? Not a good sign.

[CJ Vogel]

I am cool with a running clock in this SMU Penn State game.

[CJ Vogel]

Savion Byrd has been getting absolutely worked in this game by the Penn State edges.

[Realist Horn]

ACC poor showing moved the spread to -14

[Tuco Ramirez]

SMU comeback begins!

[Tuco Ramirez]

Seems odd that the FCS playoff games have been more entertaining than the FBS games.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

The FCS seemed to better project the best teams to play without catering to TV viewer count.

Gronowski of SDS looks like a better QB than any of the QB the CFP teams have fielded so far.

No upsets in the first two games. Time for Texas to hold serve.

Ugh. I’m not a believer in Penn State in big games and I can’t get behind ND. But Georgia won’t have Beck. We could be in for some boring football on that side of the bracket.
