Ohio State vs. Michigan.. I see Ohio State winning a close one 24-21, 28-27, or so.
FSU playing North Alabama... you expect them to score lots of points.
The real story for myself was that UNLV and New Mexico State won. It is really hard to field a successful team at UNLV and somehow Barry Odom has done it. Not only are they 9-2 and most likely playing for a conference championship.. they are somewhat young and could be set up to succeed in years to come. As for NMSU, they have been the punching bag for all of college football since 1960. A few winning seasons but never truly a contender for anything. Their "up" years are 7-6 and winning some no-name bowl against Utah State or Western Michigan. Well, Jerry Kill is doing something there that has never been done before. They beat Auburn 31-10 and outgained them handily. This was not a close call.

Bama could win but my money is on Georgia. Better OL and QB play. I do think that Michigan can and will beat Ohio St. Close game but Michigan's OL and RB play will dominate the clock and keep OSU off the field.

I can't believe what I just watched in the Bama Auburn game.impartialobserver » 21 Nov 2023, 4:01 pm » wrote: ↑ Bama could win but my money is on Georgia. Better OL and QB play.

Michigan beat the Buckeyes today too!
If Bama gets passed Georgia for the SEC Championship, it could be magic!

There's now talk of a 12 teams playoff.
I think college football has done an excellent marketing job by keeping up interest. If they can keep up the chatter about what is wrong with the 4 team playoff, then that is more than half the battle to get viewers.

We shall see when it comes to UGA vs. ALA.. I stand by my prediction that UGA wins. Probably something in the range of 31-17 or 31-20.RedheadedStranger » 25 Nov 2023, 7:06 pm » wrote: ↑ I can't believe what I just watched in the Bama Auburn game.

The best story in college football is Jerry Kill and New Mexico State. Dozens of coaches could lead Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State to successful seasons. With their resources, recruiting, and tradition, having a winning season is not all that hard. However, it takes someone special to win at a place like NMSU. It is easily one of the 3 or 4 most difficult jobs in all of college sports. And yet he has led them to 10 wins and beating Auburn at Auburn.

Rate that BS keeps going mid December to mid January will become the sweet 16 tournament like march is for basketball.The 4th Reich » 27 Nov 2023, 9:42 am » wrote: ↑ There's now talk of a 12 teams playoff.

In football.. I do not support a 12 team playoff. NCAA basketball tournament is a bit different. You only need one or two star players in order to be competitive and win a few games in the tournament. Football, you need 12 to 15 and they need to be healthy at the end of the year. That effectively eliminates all but 6 to 8 teams; Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Texas, and Alabama being the only viable contenders

am not used to someone not just saying, "Florida State". You forgot that I live out West. So, yes include Florida state in that list. The point is that in football.. the number of true contenders is far less than in basketball due to number of players on the field/court at one time and injuries.

Yep... but that hasn't been the case in the past.The4thReich » 01 Dec 2023, 6:34 pm » wrote: ↑ If the 4 main undefeated teams win, they're in. Easy, right?
This is why there should be an 8 team playoff.
Four games, two games, Championship game.
No controversy.

creating the idea society needs a December madness month in football like March is in basketball. hell of a marketing scheme.
Organized deception from every angle, orchestrated chaos from all the experts, disciples of doubt demanding society provide entertainment for the masses to keep them too busy to comprehend where corruption comes from.

Yep, I was counting on either TX or FSU losing and that didn't happen.
Oh well, it will still be a good game either way. Probably a close game.

as the playoff stands now.. I see the following playing out
Michigan vs. Alabama. Alabama wins 27-21 while trailing at halftime
Washington vs. Texas. Washington wins 31-14. The difference is that Texas secondary is mediocre and will get exposed.
Championship Game: Alabama vs. Washington. Alabama wins 35-21.
