It’s the one team i didn’t want them to face, tbh. I’m higher on Penn St than most. Love Aller. If they had a coach, they’d be a force.

That being said, will let you know in a few hours what i end up playing
Supposed to be 25 degrees at Penn St tomorrow first game for SMU under 50 degrees I think…

Almost flipped at half - should have as Tulane was lucky to only be down 6 and this qb is a deer in headlights. Oh well... juiced out on the game.

Let's go Irish... world seems to be on Indy tonight, so we shall see
I saw the same thing all over the internet too. As much as I could never forget that NIU game, Notre Dame is simply a much better football team than IU. IMO, of course. It seemed apparent even prior to kickoff. The Irish should get stronger as the game goes on too. Just the size difference is remarkable. The captans meeting for the coin flip was telling too

Sure looks like men among boys so far.

Great job by Cignetti this year. This team just ain’t it. Reminds me of the old Brad Stevens Celtics teams that were so well coached and cared about every game, so had great records, but would get smashed in playoffs by best efforts from superior talent teams. Thibs had some like this too

Indiana is who we thought they were. Good season tho.

I played my pre flops Saturday. No smashes for me here. I thought Indiana was fraudulent. I think Clemson is too, but have some concerns with Texas in a blowout and as annoying as Dabo is, i like him over Sark with some prep. I have yet to see an SMU ticket from any boards, Twitter, or some ‘sharp’ people i look at or talk to. This buckeye/tenn game is the biggest wildcard for me.

Fuck. Can see all 3 games tomorrow going in multiple ways…

SMU +8.5/4.5 7/4

Clemson/Texas under 51/26 6/6
Fh Clemson +7 4x

Waiting till morning to play buckeyes/tenn

I Like SMU but may buy it up to 10. I don't buy nearly as much as I used to but I still try to get to certain #'s in football. Only # I really worry about in basketball is 3.

Other 2 games...it looks "too easy" but might just do a Texas/OhioSt ML Parlay. Haven't looked at the payout yet though. All Ohio State has to do is what they should have done to Michigan. That was a very weird game for a lot of reasons.

Sorry, but I just dont think these mid level teams can keep up. Bama or Miami would have been more competitive than these first 2 playoff games. Boise being a 3 is a joke as well
Cant disagree. Will say SMU was holding up on the D line. SMU qb not used to playing against this level of defense. Trying to force plays not great idea, ain't getting away with it. Now his head is in the shitter. Could have kept came close and threw ball away. Allar plays tight under tight scenarios. Give his team a chance.

Pretty sure we know who Jennings bet on. He also had a little help from his O-line w both blocking and false starts near the goal line. This game an absolute joke.

Bama yes. Miami sucked ass this year. They were worse than SMU. There's a reason they barely won most of the games on their easy schedule.

This playoff was ripe for blowouts. Just like with the old playoff. Everyone likes to jerk each other off about how cool this is, but to me it's a fucking atrocity. Do you think 2 loss college football teams should have a chance to win the national title based on a small tournament at the end? I don't. The sport was better before. All the whining and deciding it on the field shit is irrelevant. Reality is that it was plenty entertaining and none of these kids need to be playing more college football games at personal risk.

This is good for making money for stupid elite universities and "conferences" and for gamblers. I mean do I like more college football, I mean yes, but do I think this makes any sense among rational thinking people. Absolutely not.

I agree, but also being undefeated is meaningless if you don't play top teams, yet these are the people who keeps saying we deserve to be there. I only threw in Miami cause they were a team off the top of my head haha.

Lol yes. I mean the Indiana and SMU performances were lame as fuck. Indiana more so. SMU actually wasnt terrible they just made a series of insanely catastrophic mistakes. Indiana didnt try to win the game not sure what their approach even was.
