I made my peace with OM being in the playoffs a couple of months ago. It doesn't bother me today because if State can't compete with Pete Golding that's on us.Quote:

Weird post. Almost nothing to do with this thread but whatever. You do you.Quote:

No it doesnt. G5 teams are in the Playoff because the NCAA is avoiding Anti-Trust legal issues. It's the only damn reason. So they throw them a bone to avoid hundreds of millions in profit loss.Quote:

Only updates I get are from the ESPN app.
I don't mind a G5 or two, but make it 16 with no byes and reward the top teams in the country with a cupcake opener.
That game was embarrassing. That's your match up after playing a soft conference schedule? Both playoff teams Ole Miss beat this year are already out. Go figure. They are good, but ND in Oxford would have been highly entertaining.
I know this is not a common opinion outside ND fans because a lot of people have a hatred for ND, but I actually think they are better than all the other teams outside the top 5. I think they would?ve won in Oxford because I think they are a better team than Ole Miss. In the past they got special treatment for being ND and they were overrated, but since Marcus Freeman took over they have been better. They did go to the title game last year and they played their two hardest games the first two weeks of the year. I bet they beat aTm too if they played them again. Not sure they could beat IU, OSU or UGA and TTU and Oregon could go either way but their easy schedule hurt them for sure.
Tamu actually played more ranked teams.Quote:

Put the Sugar, Rose, Cotton, Orange, Peach, and Fiesta on NYD and just make it an epic day of football as God intended for it to be.
They should join the Big 10.Quote:
