Me too. But, they have a really good coach.Jennings has flat out stunk , I saw him earlier in the year a couple times and he was a different player . SMU gives up taking 3 . Fing hate PSU
I totally agree but this front 7 is in a different leagueHopefully ERob is noticing how much pressure Ped State is bringing. It’s relentless. Sure haven’t seen a 3 man rush yet even with a huge lead.
Commentator said he wasn’t sure SMU is the second best team in the ACC as they didn’t play Miami or SyracuseCommittee should have taken Miami over SMU.
Not letting the #1 offense into the playoff was hilariousAll along Miami offense would score on these teams. Sure they may lose 55-48 but still better than watching paint dry.
I was debating with my brother last night...I think SMU is the one that was fair game to potentially leave out. Think the committee didn't want to punish them for losing a conference championship game/reward teams that didn't even play in it, but their resume wasn't particularly strong either, they had two losses, and their conference title opponent was relatively weak.SMU looks not good so far. Is everyone going to call them a fraud like Indiana?
Agreed. With Ohio and UNLV winning their bowl games, we are a Miami bowl game victory away from having victories over 3 different 11 win teams.These super conferences are kind of ruining the playoffs because of the unbalanced schedules. Miami should definitely be in over SMU and if we didn't lose to Stanford I'd argue we should be too
How does expanding the field to 25 (which is an unusual number for a tourney bracket) result in higher quality football?Only solution for this is to expand the playoff.
-All teams in CFP top 25 get in.
-Eliminate the conference championships and start the 1st round that weekend.
-1st round games played at higher seed location.
-Top 5 teams get 1st round byes.
-2nd round games are held at tier 2 bowl locations (Pop Tarts, Outback, Alamo, Holiday, Music City, Liberty, Mayo). Quarterfinals and Semis played at tier 1 bowl Gator, Citrus, Orange, Fiesta, Peach, Sugar. Finals are played at Rose Bowl
Rush 12 drop 16 into coverage. Works every time.Hopefully ERob is noticing how much pressure Ped State is bringing. It’s relentless. Sure haven’t seen a 3 man rush yet even with a huge lead.
It prevents the issue we have currently of playoff worthy teams (Bama, Ole Miss, Gamecocks) who get excluded b/c they played harder schedulesHow does expanding the field to 25 (which is an unusual number for a tourney bracket) result in higher quality football?
Im confident we would have put on a better show then SMU or Indiana .These super conferences are kind of ruining the playoffs because of the unbalanced schedules. Miami should definitely be in over SMU and if we didn't lose to Stanford I'd argue we should be too
Was thinking the same thing .Watching the QB play this weekend has been painful. These guys absolutely blow. I've been spoiled watching Kyle. There ain't one among 'em that can carry his jock.
We made our bed, when we s@*t the bed against a bad Stanford team.Im confident we would have put on a better show then SMU or Indiana .
With a 25 team field, wouldn’t that maintain the same issue except this time the debate is 9-3 teams who played easy schedules vs. 7-5 teams who played hard schedules? There will always be this debate regardless of the size of the playoff field.It prevents the issue we have currently of playoff worthy teams (Bama, Ole Miss, Gamecocks) who get excluded b/c they played harder schedules
Exactly. I want to avoid the best of the mediocre that is the NCAA tourney bubble debateWith a 25 team field, wouldn’t that maintain the same issue except this time the debate is 9-3 teams who played easy schedules vs. 7-5 teams who played hard schedules? There will always be this debate regardless of the size of the playoff field.
