Opening round playoff lines

[msstate7]

Indiana at ND (-8)
SMU at Penn state (-8.5)
Clemson at Texas (-11)
Tenn at Ohio state (-7.5)

Vegas doesn't seem to thing the committee did at a good job with those lines

[MBDawg601]

I wonder how many teams bama would be favored against.

[BigDawg81]

My lock of the week is Tennessee covering and I might pick them to win outright.

[Pancho]

yes. the other 3 favorites will win

[parabrave]

ND and Showers State getting ranked over Oh St and Texas is ridiculous.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I have a sneaking suspicion the two ACC teams are going to get absolutely WHACKED. Texas will do to Clemson exactly what UGA did to them and SMU will probably make Allar look like he should have won the Heisman.

I would also pick Tennessee to win outright against Ohio St. Ohio St has shown they don't like to get physical so I imagine Tennessee will run Sampson down their throat.

[TUSK]

I wonder how many teams bama would be favored against.

O/U 5.5

[MBDawg601]

O/U 5.5

Do away with automatic bids and top 12 get in. Needs to happen yesterday.

Not sure who was fighting for automatic bids.. I would assume big 12, ACC and the G5s.

[Coach34]

My lock of the week is Tennessee covering and I might pick them to win outright.

Is Ohio St's QB going to be back for the game? Him getting hurt cost them the Michigan game

[Irondawg]

I would kind of like to see SMU beat Penn State just to watch the PSU fans turn on Franklin.

[Johnson85]

I would kind of like to see SMU beat Penn State just to watch the PSU fans turn on Franklin.

That would be fun but I would like for the people that don't belong there to get embarrassed so that the committee gets somewhat embarrassed. SMU having an at large bid with their schedule and two losses is absurd.

[DorseyDog]

Just go to 16 no byes and rank them just like other sports . Realistically only 8 should be chosen but with 16 you don?t add any time added to playoffs and should get more money put in system.

[Pancho]

about as absurd as AZ State and Boise having byes

[maroonmania]

I wonder how many teams bama would be favored against.

Why would it matter? Bama was a big favorite against Vandy and Oklahoma for what that was worth. For whatever is said about SMU or Indiana, their 3 losses combined (BYU, Clemson and Ohio State) were all way better losses than what Bama and OM had.

[Pancho]

yea, folks are saying teams should weaken the out of conference opponents but it was weak SEC losses that doomed the elephants and the plantation dwellers of yester year
