Dawg83 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 It’s official. Alabama is in, Florida State is out. I get the argument for Bama but I think they botched this one. Emotional overreaction to one or two weeks. If we are going to knock FSU for how they looked against Florida and Louisville, why aren’t we knocking Bama for sneaking by USF, Arkansas, Auburn? One of those games was literally 8 days ago. Ole Miss likely in the NY6 now with some juicy matchup possibilities. We’ll see how it pans out.

Bulldogs4 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Well it was like I noted earlier. Had Bama gone 13-0 but Milroe got hurt a week or two ago and they were left out of the playoff, what would have the reaction been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bama beat the #1 team with their backup QB that would have been different than beating #14, but it’s a legit question. I honestly believe if Georgia had won, they would have put FSU in. A clear cut 4 undefeated P5 teams. When Georgia lost, they had the whole Bama or Texas problem, and used FSU’s QB issues as a scapegoat to put both in. We also have a team in the top 4 that has been accused of the most elaborate sign stealing scheme in college history and the coach got punished just 3 games and the school nothing.

Dawg83 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Ole Miss gets in the NY6. Will play Penn State in the Peach Bowl. Really neat matchup. Should be a very competitive game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory from that day is Ole Miss played early in the day and State played at night. TCU murdered Ole Miss and State players were trolling OM on social media and as a State fan I remember not liking that because we already lost the Egg and had a game later that night. Sure enough, State got crushed too by Georgia Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Am I the only one that is totally uninterested by this year’s slate of bowl games? I realize that my team not participating doesn’t help, but there just aren’t many games at all that catch my eye. First one that’s kinda interesting is Arizona-Oklahoma on Dec. 28th, but after that it’s kinda just the Playoff and Ole Miss-Penn State. I just don’t see many interesting matchups this year.

Dawg83 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Oh and my early read on the Playoff is Bama and Washington win, then Bama wins in the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSTSatchmo Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I think OM/Penn State is a good matchup. It’s also a better matchup for Ole Miss than Ohio State or Oregon, I believe. With the bowl games, we will have to see who plays and doesn’t play. I’ve already read that some don’t expect a few of FSU’s defensive players to play.

NoWammies Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Being an Air Force guy I’ll be interested to watch Air Force/JMU. Some other games I like are A&M/OK State in Houston cuz that should be a good crowd, Arizona/Oklahoma, Missouri/Ohio St, Georgia/FSU depending on how many guys don’t opt out and call me crazy but Liberty/Oregon hoping for a Boise St/Oklahoma type outcome. I would say Duke/Troy but not sure how well Duke will be with interim coach. I’m kind of surprised an 11 win SMU team that just beat Tulane who would’ve been in a NY6 bowl with a win only got the Fenway Bowl in pretty much a home game for Boston College.

Former Coach Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Ohio State and Oklahoma QB's have already entered portal, so they both will have new QB's. I'm sure there will be many others enter portal or opt out. The opt out, portal, and NIL have ruined college football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasbeen67 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Once the 12 team CFP starts, probably no need to have others bowls. Nobody will want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastfootballfanman Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I just hate the committee aspect now. The human element and making things about money ruin it. I wish they could mesh the BCS model with CFP. Let the algorithm determine the 12 best teams based on a certain criteria and then whoever is ranked 1-12 is in.
