CFB 2023 Bowls & Championships: The *best* gosh darn thread a television executive could ask for

[BigJimEd]

Obvious call. Should have been a first

 

[SoxJox]

One thing seems pretty clear...NFL draft considerations and players opting out of bowl games has had a significant effect on bowl outcomes...regardless SEC, B1G, or any other conference particulars.

Edit: perhaps this is not so true of the 4 CFP teams, but the reason there is obvious.

Lol that guy pulled a Curry 3 point leg kick flop

Pretty clear on the replay that he tweaked his plant leg. Hopefully nothing he can’t play through.

Yep. FSU was basically fielding a division 2 team.

 

[luckiestman]

What is this penalty?

 

[8slim]

Why is that a penalty? Play was ongoing?

 

[Ale Xander]

What is this penalty?

Unnecessary roughness

Well, next year there will be 11 CFP games, not 3.

It was rough and unnecessary... though not sure it was an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Guy was blocked onto ground and then he blocked him when he was on the ground, I guess not allowed?

 

[snowmanny]

go for it dammit

 

[SoxJox]

Well, next year there will be 11 CFP games, not 3.

And it will be very interesting to see the effect on opt outs for that. My guess? Many fewer.

 

[Ale Xander]

Alabama may need to figure out the blocking

No clue if it’s allowed. Thought it was. Good thing the announcers didn’t address it. Who would want to know?

Yeah you aren’t allowed to hit anyone who is out of the play. On the ground = out of the play.

 

[Ale Xander]

They definitely need a 6th in there to block

 

[SoxJox]

UM D dolling out damage.

 

[mauf]

1st sack was on the line. 2nd was on Milroe.

 

[JokersWildJIMED]

Looked like Mac Jones on first and second down. Milroe is currently overmatched

 

[Ale Xander]

What would the score be if Hurts was the Bama QB?

 

[luckiestman]

Why didn’t you guys tell me about this?

Against Brady? I've seen that Brady-Alabama game.

 

[BigSoxFan]

This punter is going to cost Mich

 

[luckiestman]

Michigan fans have to feel good about this game after the past two appearances. They are in this one.

 

[shawnrbu]

Was that a Freddie Kitchens reference?

Very much agreed.

More like after the first few minutes. But yes. D is legit.

JJ comp just came to me: Jimmy G.

I think we all feel bad enough for FSU as it is.

Subtraction by addition

Onnthe flip side they are out gaining Alabama 116-38 and are tied

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s a no mas call.

 

[Ale Xander]

How did this stupid team beat Georgia?

 

[JCizzle]

How did this stupid team beat Georgia?

Fucking Auburn ruins everything.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

How long until next commercials? Feels like it has been at least 5 minutes. I need some new cars with bows.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Holly Rowe with the TRAINING ANECDOTES

 

[JOBU]

That was kinda ridiculous

 

[Ale Xander]

That actually worked?

 

[tims4wins]

Credit where it’s due great play by JJ

 

[Ale Xander]

Wow
The Bama back 7 is playing slow as f

 

[tims4wins]

Go Blue

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Morris turned on the jets

 

[Marciano490]

That play by McCarthy was super athletic. I like the way Corum runs too.

 

[JOBU]

This punter is going to cost Mich

Hmmm. Not his fault there tho. Eh maybe it was

 

[Ale Xander]

There’s no way that point won’t affect anything

 

[snowmanny]

This punter is going to cost Mich

 

[Al Zarilla]

Kid missed not a beat, stayed in bounds all the way for the touchdown. Great play.

 

[SoxJox]

Nm

 

[JCizzle]

Let's not blow this shit Michigan, please.

 

[radsoxfan]

Another terrible spot, that was like 4 yards off.

 

[JCizzle]

Milroe: fuck it, going deep. Gotta respect the conviction.
