    When G5 teams beat a big name P5 school in a NY6 bowl, they often get a promotion. We've been there.

    Houston to the Big-12, is my guess.

    Stanford looks fantastic today. It is almost a travesty they didn't play yesterday. I have to think they would have given Clemson or Alabama a better game.

    I've not seen much of the 2nd half. Did Stanford take the foot off the throttle?

    Two losses when the top 4 featured three one-loss teams and an undefeated team lessens any travesty. Losing at northwestern is the bigger travesty.

    I don't disagree, but Michigan State really backed into 3 of their wins and were very obviously overmatched vs Alabama.

    They need to expand the playoff to 6 or 8 teams...

    Stanford needed very late plays to escape Wazzou and ND. And you can't use CFP results to argue whether or not a team belonged. Sparty beat the same Iowa team that Stanford crushed, and Bama could've been just as successful against the Cardinal.

    I admit I am going strictly by the eye test, but to my eye Stanford is playing some of the best football in the nation over the last 5-7 weeks. Oh well.

    In the Bama-Clemson game I think we will see a completely different Bama team. IIRC Clemson has a fantastic Pass defense, significantly better than MSU. But they will probably go into Power mode and Derrick Henry them to death.

    Bama has an NFL-quality Front 7, the question will br whether they can contain Deshaun Watson.

    wtf was up with that Oregon play calling at the end of regulation? Nine seconds left, 20 yards shy of FG range, and they throw a slant? I'd be out of my mind if I were a Duck fan.

    The thing that always strikes me about Patterson is he's so fat. I don't get it. I assume he was once an athlete; he must be disciplined in areas of his life. And these coaches have as a job perk unlimited access to world class trainers and workout facilities.

    Wow. What a comeback.

    What is Oregon going to do for a qb next year? Lockie doesn't cut the mustard.

    Oregon's 2015 lesson to Ute fans is that it takes a quarterback. All of that offensive coaching innovation and genius and all of Phil Knight's donations can't change that hard fact. And as we've discussed, Mariota was not heavily recruited. We're due for some quarterback recruiting luck.

    Not nearly as bad as their two incomplete passes on the three and out possession before that. Giving TCU plenty of time to work with to tie it up.

    That final nine seconds really is unforgiveable now that I see in OT that Oregon's kicker was perfectly able to split the uprights from 50 yards under tremendous pressure.

    Todd Graham kicks the extra point to go up by six with five minutes to go. Loses by one. Hell of a coach.

    Random fact: Mariota's HS coach was Darnell Arceneaux.

    That explains how Utah was on him early.

    Maybe not. Arceneaux only coached him his senior year I believe
