Knees were down through weren't they? Maybe not?

I thought so too but they never showed a very good look at it.

I'm the 1 that made it a big deal?

You are the one that exclaimed Horrid call!!!

Because it went against your team...I brought up 2 calls that were missed lol

You're right, it's been even so far on both sides

Sawyer is a scary dude on the end

Man.. it just happened to be my team an maybe horrid was too strong a word but it was not a good call. I'd call it bad regardless of team

Meh. It is what it is.

[cdub6238]

Get some confidence and momentum...definitely needed that

Still gonna be tough without Squirrel AND Sampson

[Scottish Punk]

Ha ha, he did the Lebron. Tennessee should be happy with 21-10 after that OSU fast start.

Basically.

They sucked.

Momentum heading towards Tennessee right now

A couple bad calls away from being at least 28-7 if not more. Not worried. I'm not college football obsessed so even if they lose I won't lose sleep over it.

Only reason I even cheer for a college team is when I was a Freshman in high school I oddly enough moved from Ohio to TN and everyone bled Orange down there with no NFL team and one of my teachers just assumed I was an OSU fan so I went with it. Believe My Spanish teacher's son was a walk on and all's she ever talked about was Peyton Manning.

So unless there are some really really bad calls and they lose I likely won't care much. I would be just as irritated if the other team got screwed bad in the name of keeping the game close as well though.

Excellent point, and this is the point I was making earlier that really triggered some people. I just don't understand why so many are losing their minds over things happening in the college playoffs which they readily accept in other sports (especially the NFL).

Right now the 8-6 LA Rams stand to host the 12-2 Minnesota Vikings AND the 8-6 Bucs stand to host the 10-4 Packers. I mean, it happens.

The MAC could have a team in the playoffs one of these years. If you take the current playoff format (and conference alignments) and go back in time, Western Michigan would have been in the playoffs 8 years ago.

I fell asleep. Would be the funniest thing ever to see AnOSU blow this but I doubt they will.

Nighty-night, boys!

Yes, that was my team. Loved them, but they didn't deserve a playoff spot and a 40 point drubbing.

Who is this Marty Smith sideline reporter?

I like him.

Even with only 12 playoff slots, we had our first college football season since maybe the 1920s where every team started the season with a path to the postseason and a national title.

Winning the Mountain West was enough to snag a slot.

Army, as an Independent, would have been in if it had beaten Notre Dame.

Boise State doesn't have to win the natty—just beating Penn State and winning a playoff game would be a cathartic moment for smaller schools everywhere.

As a true fan of the sport, I think that's awesome.

It's been interesting about him this year. When he has a bad game or something. He seems to be able to comeback and have a solid rebound

[cdub6238]

Howard just throwing lobs for darts...pretty impressive
