College Football Playoff Game Thread - ND/Clem & Bama/Okla

[shawnrbu]

Why even bother with an 8 team playoff?

It's not going to get any better. 1 of the 2 coaches who can actually compete with Bama and Clemson just retired.

 

[Vinho Tinto]

Clearly, Oklahoma needs to go Independant if they hope to lose by less than 27.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Hahahahaha

 

[shawnrbu]

LOL

 

[johnmd20]

This is quite a game.

 

[BaseballJones]

Wow just ran OVER that guy.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Kyler Murray needs to pull himself out of the game to avoid injury. Billy Beane, meanwhile, is popping champagne corks

 

[tims4wins]

So 58-3 combined so far? Go back to the BCS

 

[dcmissle]

Thing is, because of OK’s offense, Bama is not going to let up. This has to be in the 50s in the 3rd qtr before they do.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

This is embarrassing. I think ND would put up more of a fight.

 

[johnmd20]

This is embarrassing. I think ND would put up more of a fight.

Georgia or Ohio State certainly would have been better that this.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Is Dexter Lawrence eligible for the final or does the suspension remain?

Suspensions are for 365 days, but they have an appeal and from what I’ve read its possible that could be heard by next week and if he wins that, he could be playing in the final. Slim chance, but that’s the only way he plays.

 

[Vinho Tinto]

When?

When it propels him over the goaline as Alabama singlehandily covers the Over.

 

[BaseballJones]

Alabama's possessions:

7 plays, 75 yards, touchdown
8 plays, 55 yards, touchdown
5 plays, 61 yards, touchdown
5 plays, 48 yards, touchdown

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Oklahoma should fare better vs Alabama than ND vs Clemson.

This prediction has not aged well.

 

[shawnrbu]

Oklahoma yapping after every play they make. Please hang 100 on them, Saban.

 

[shawnrbu]

OU going to kick from their 10?

 

[heavyde050]

Fair catch the kickoff. At least no turnover.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I remember when someone argued with me around here that the Big12 offenses were historically good. It wasn't that their defenses were pathetic. Those were fun times.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

28-3, anyone?

 

[heavyde050]

Wow. This is a good drive.

Figures there is a penalty.

 

[heavyde050]

And there goes the shutout.

 

[johnmd20]

Kicking from the 10. I don't think I've seen this.

 

[canderson]

This prediction has not aged well.

I figured OUsucks would move the ball.

Oh well. Fuck them.

 

[shawnrbu]

Fair catching that kickoff was dumb.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

what was rationale on the fair catch? and since kickoff was from 10, shouldn't they get the ball at the 45?

 

[heavyde050]

Did he fair catch that? I guess #24 waved his hand.

 

[BaseballJones]

Wow that was defensive holding, and then defensive pass interference. Either one was an easy call and the guy got away with both. OU might make this a game.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Wow that was defensive holding, and then defensive pass interference. Either one was an easy call and the guy got away with both. OU might make this a game.

Yeah, he was never NOT interfering with the receiver the entire play

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Wow that was defensive holding, and then defensive pass interference. Either one was an easy call and the guy got away with both. OU might make this a game.

They certainly could if the refs allow their defensive backs to basically bear hug the Bama receivers.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

I love seeing a bama player get leveled like that

 

[dcmissle]

This is why Bama cannot let up on O

 

[dcmissle]

They have to go for 1st here

 

[dcmissle]

This running will set up bomb.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Love the way Josh Jacobs runs.

 

[dcmissle]

Big play comes here

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Horrendous call there to keep the Sooners alive for the moment.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

You’re up 21 Saban, no tantrum

 

[Couperin47]

Bama is being stopped by the only people who can....themselves

 

[dcmissle]

Clusterfuck on those penalties.

 

[johnmd20]

Saban is like Harbaugh. The histrionics are ridiculous.

 

[Marciano490]

Saban is like Harbaugh. The histrionics are ridiculous.

Which one?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I don't know. If I'm Saban, I'm pretty fucking livid about that illegal formation penalty that took a touchdown off the board. The replay didn't show the right tackle that far off the LOS to warrant a penalty. Not even close really. If they punch that in there, and make it 34-10, I feel like the momentum going into the half would feel a lot different for both sides.

 

[johnmd20]

Which one?

Jim.

 

[Brand Name]

 

[johnmd20]

Oklahoma is an absolute wreck. Sloppy mistakes, terrible QB play, horrendous penalties.

 

[heavyde050]

The Bama DB definitely gave a nice little shove and should have intercepted that pass.

 

[heavyde050]

Nice catch Brown.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They need to stop kicking FG. You don’t have the luxury of passing up fourth downs with this kind of deficit against a defense this good.

 

[DamageTrain]

Yes was wondering how cutting the deficit to 18 there helps...
