    I'm starting this so we can randomly babble about all the different games going on without cluttering or ruining the other quality threads about specific content. Basically, this is the **** show thread if you wanna participate. :)

    Now, this is my kind of topic Corey! :lol: Big question for me is will J.T. play at all today? (Minicuis surgery last Sunday) His backup Dwayne Haskins looked great in the Michigan game after J.T. was sidelined with the knee problems.

    Wisky will give us all we can handle with their great defense. I am confident they remember that shellacking we gave them in the Big Ten Title game in 2014. (59-0)

    I feel certain there are going to be some winners and losers today, that will really create some problems as to who gets in the final four.

    Should be a great day to watch some good football. :p

    For the record, I still believe Alabama did not play well enough in their loss to Auburn to deserve a playoff spot. I also don't think a 2 loss team should get in ahead of 1 loss teams from the majors. I know that means if Georgia loses today the SEC wouldn't have a team in the playoffs. So be it. :(

    Incredible defensive struggle in the AAC championship game. First team to 70 MAY win.

    I wonder if the UCF Defensive Coordinator will get promoted to the Head Coach position? :lol:

    Congratulations AJ it looks like you are getting an offensive wizard. Hopefully he can get a good Defensive Coordinator.

    Tough to beat a team in a rematch. No crazy home crowd, team might not have any of that emotional energy they had in the big wins... Of course not having Johnson at 100 %, also a factor. Looks like Gus won't be able to say he kicked the dog crap out of Georgia! :shock:

    A butt kicking of Auburn will not help Alabama get in the top 4.
    Looks like the Big 10 champ instead.

    Down goes Auburn! No team with two losses has ever made the playoffs.

    :idea:

    Ohio State was blown out twice and one of those was at home. They have less of a case than Alabama or even USC.

    Yeah I am not sure what convulted set of circumstances would allow USC in the CFP, and with 2 bad losses I just can't see Ohio State jumping Alabama even if they win the BIG 10.

    That said Buckeyes score first!

    If Buckeyes win, they will have beaten 2 top 10 teams and 1 top 25--MSU, PSU and Wisky. They will also be the conference champion.

    Not sure Ala or USC has beaten one top 15 team this year.

    Looks like OSU is going to wax Wisconsin so the internet warriors from the B10 and SEC will be engaged.

    Looks like history is repeating itself. Two years ago, Iowa went undefeated during the regular season but then lost the CCG to MSU and got killed in the RB by Stanford.

    Looking like Clemson will win easily.

    As far as Ohio State, those 2 bad losses are a big problem and personally I feel like Alabama is one of 4 best teams. Just like last year when OSU was a 1 loss team without a conference championship, the committee went with who they thought were the best 4 teams which is what I think they should do.

    Yeah I just don't see how you overlook 2 regular season losses especially to unranked teams.
