So Noles have 10 points running Wildcat and Michigan has 10 with a first round draft pick @QB but Mich is auto in with a win and FSU is out? Seems legit.

You must be canderson's evil twin.
Just confident in h2h and conference championships mattering. Plus I've had a lot less time to be jaded about Texas sports despite entering the school in 2011 and the team not mattering in a real way for more than 5 weeks total since then.

If it's a fumble, sure, I can see that.

But in a league where forward progress can't be challenged and no one knows what the hell a catch is, the idea that you reward someone picking up the ball in the face of a ref blowing his whistle and waving his arms emphatically....man. That's just an awful look.

The Michigan player knocked the ball out of his hand before he released the ball. His hand was empty. Not a pass.
That doesn’t matter. I’m cheering for Michigan and I thought his hand had just started moving forward. Like a fraction of an inch but moving forward nonetheless.

So if a quarterback starts his passing motion and a defensive player takes the ball from his hand it is an interception? Interesting.

Take your pick - the committee will have to say:
A. We left out the undefeated ACC champ who is hobbled
B. We left out the SEC champ
C. We left out the Big 12 champ who beat the SEC champ by double digits on the road

D. We also left out the SEC runner up lost by 3 points after winning 29’straight who was #1 for most of the year

I officially think Louisville is sandbagging this game. 3rd and 2 and you throw a 20 yard go route when your QB has been inept all game?

Having seen FSU, WITH TRAVIS, vs BC, I don’t think I can say they’re one of the four best teams

Does it matter? It’s a turnover (assuming nothing else added to your hypothetical). Release implies intention to me (QB intended to release ball vs defender released ball from QB’s hand) so we may be parsing words.

If Louisville can punch it in here to start the fourth, FSU may be in trouble. Glenn can't do anything against them so they have been loading up.

Alabama was beyond extremely fortunate to beat a terrible Auburn team that was fresh off of getting smoked by New Mexico St. College football is weird.
