Everything about this Coolege Football Playoff has been awesome except the teams in the field, the games, the quality of play, the selection process, the committee, and the outcomes.

Yesterday, Miami and Texas A&M combined to score 13 points in 60 minutes. In the Sugar Bowl last year, Notre Dame alone scored 17 points in 54 seconds.

Pete Thamel I was told for weeks that ND is too scared to play BYU? Especially in Provo? So strange! I was also told AD’s were going to freeze out ND from scheduling. Seems like it was all a lie!

Per Ross Dellenger, USC is responsible for this. "USC officials determined that the game date was not ideal considering past decisions from the CFP selection committee in punishing schools for losses, especially those late in the season." on3.com/teams/notre-da…

Texas Tech and Joey McGuire 🌵 should probably consider joining a conference.

nugget chef Mostly true and funny. Except we knew Alabama was a fraud when they got blown out by Florida state… and when they lost to Oklahoma… and when they got blown out by Georgia while rushing for -3 yards. But the CFP committee was real impressed with that gutsy Auburn win!!

death, taxes, incomprehensibly favorable pass interference calls going georgia’s way in the sugar bowl

Get Up Michael McCarthy Paul Finebaum Maybe… it’s the whole conference that is soft! I was told Alabama merited inclusion because they were the “regular season #1 seed from the SEC”

Last year I frequently asked what a defender was not allowed to do to Solomon Ball. I have the same question this evening.
