Championship Saturday game thread

[DownwardDawg]

As much as I want Indiana to win, I just get more and more irritated with Selmon for not interviewing Cignetti

That and Lebby's performance is why I don't see Oklahoma coming for Selmon.

[ZedFedder]

Has Curt Cignetti done the best coaching job in college football history these first two years at Indiana of all places? Seriously, I think he might have.

[DownwardDawg]

And Manny Diaz is about to do something the guy who ran the bus over him could never do.

Elaborate please

100%. I was sold last year when his only 2 losses were to the two teams playing for the national title and basically blew out everyone else

[EdwardDrayton]

NIL and the portal will allow for more Indiana like showings in college football. The days of Bear Bryant/Nick Saban type dynasties are over.

You don't remember when Mullen would run the Bus over his DC when he lost a close one???

[parabrave]

And UVA pulls one out of their 4th POC to go into Overtime. Better hold on to the Manny Conf champion for now,

Oh Mullen. Yes, I do remember. Mullen couldn't keep a DC for shit.

Indiana has ranked 49th and 36th in recruiting the last two years, that is including transfers. What Cignetti has done is almost unbelievable.

He also brought a bunch of his players with him which helps greatly when you got strong nucleus of veterans in your roster. See Huff for further example.

UVA. <chuckle>

Way to go ACC. Congrats to Manny and this will be the deathnell of conf championship games and automatic bids,

No. Conference standings would be useful, if Bama didn?t lose to FSU.

They were unfortunately disqualified, week 1 combined with the rest of the season. Bama should absolutely be out of the playoffs.

Indy and Manny kicking butt tonight......so who plays in the ditch??

Isn’t that what happened after Bama in 14 ?? Maybe I’m confused....

There's absolutely no chance you leave the 2nd place SEC team out of the playoffs. Not a chance. Then ole Miss and aTm are disqualified because they weren't good enough to play in the SEC Championship game.
These championship games have to go away....and they will very soon.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I have no idea what the ACC tiebreaker is, but these tiebreakers need to be changed so that it?s the highest ranked team after head to head is out the window. Miami is clearly the best team in the ACC. For some reason though they decided to not show up in the first half against Louisville and this is why we are here.

That is the problem, Bama is not second best; TAMU is and they screwed in all this.

At end of season, Vandy is better than Bama.

[PGHBulldogBG]

It is going to be interesting to see if the committee keeps OM at 6 and aTm at 7 or if they will flip them so OM and Tulane is not a rematch.

I understand what you're saying, but that's based on your opinion. The fact is that Bama finished the season as the number 2 team in the SEC. Only the top 2 SEC teams play in the conference championship game. If they leave Bama out, the SEC Commisioner, all the AD's, and all the coaches will demand the championship game goes away today.

Teams will make sure they don't play in that game after today if Bama gets left out.
