College Football fans: Who do you have in the FBS playoffs?
Curious to see who you guys have taking the championship. I have Alabama winning another title vs Oklahoma. The top 4 teams should all win but everyone has been hyping up UNC and thinks they will pull off the upset vs Clemson.
I would like to see Michigan State make it. Dantonio has been on the cusp for forever. Fuck Alabama, Fuck Clemson. Oklahoma is cool though.
1 seed- Clempsun 2 seed- Alabama 3 seed- Michigan State 4 seed- Oklahoma
Playoffs:
Round 1- Oklahoma over the tayters, Bama over Michigan State Finals- Oklahoma over Alabama
You must be a coots fan. If you are you should cheer us on since your season is over. Especially because Carolina fans love arbitrarily affiliating themselves (such as chanting SEC throughout their 3-9 season). You can chant SOUTH CAROLINA and enjoy success through transitive property of being located in the same state.
Can't tell if trying to troll or just Clemson fan.
I've got the winner of Michigan State/Iowa winning it all. Definitely think OU could be a problem though.
1 - Clemson 2 - Bama 3 - MSU 4 - Oklahoma
1 - Clemson 3 - MSU
1 - Clemson
Alabama or Oklahoma.
Clemson/MSU/Iowa seem like shaky teams. Clemson has been in some close games and I'm not sure if I believe they'll win another three in a row against strong competition. MSU had unimpressive performances against Michigan and Nebraska. Iowa is 12-0 thanks to playing the Illinois's, Indiana's, and Minnesota's of the world.
Yeah and c'mon when was the last time Clemson won anything in football? I'm not saying they can't do it but they're still unproven for now.
Clemson's game with UNC is expected to be close and definitely looks that way at the moment. Clemson should win, but if they lose I don't think they even gets a spot in the playoff.
I'm not buying Michigan State personally. Lost to Nebraska, awful screwup by Michigan gave them the win there, beat Ohio State by a few... And this is Iowa's first game against a legit opponent all year. I think Iowa is genuinely a top-10 team on its own, but they've had the luxury of being able to beat up on schoolgirls all year. Wisconsin had a down year, Northwestern was reasonably decent, but everyone else they played was crap.
Alabama is gonna get shelled by wither OU or Clemson. Their offense is garbage. Period. The moment they play teams that have good passing games the defense looks average (just look at the Ole Miss game), Clemson has a killer passing game, OU just behind them. I just hope MSU is #4 so OU can knock Bama out. I hate Nick Saban and his little turncoat ways, plus he has a shitty attitude.
They have the best running back in the SEC.....
They have the best running game in the SEC (country?). However, the best back in the SEC is no doubt Fournette IMO.
stoked about MSU being #3. Was at the game yesterday and honestly can see our game against bama being very similar. Going to be a low scoring game, but I think we honestly have the power to knock bama off. I think OU will come out on top and it'll be MSU vs OU in the championship. From there, I can't even venture a guess to the outcome. Mayfield is the best quarterback the NCAA has seen in a while, which makes me very nervous
Cook's shoulder needs to be 100% and we'll have a great shot.
Semi-final winners - Oklahoma and Alabama Winner - Alabama
Agreed
The game I'm more interested in is MSU/Bama. Nick Saban's old school versus is powerhouse new school. I think Mark Dantonio can really pull a surprising upset and show himself to be a real brilliant coach with a win here. Dantonio has a good coaching pedigree, including 3 years in Ohio State, having served as Defensive Coordinator during their 2002 National Championship run. Despite the questions in the Big Ten and that surprisingly loss to Nebraska, they put up a strong performance during the season and pulled off a shocking upset. Iowa was a legitimately great team, which is why I'm slightly miffed they lost. I think that MSU will carry the momentum through and, given the few weeks to recover, will be a healthy team. Saban, on the other hand, will be the favorite, but can be beaten. They have shown that multiple times in the last few years.
I think that between Clemson and Oklahoma, I would love to see the Sooners beat Clemson. I think Clemson is overrated. They won 3 games against ranked teams (2 prior to Saturday's game), and only beat 6 teams with winning records (5 prior to Saturday's game). The Sooners, on the other hand, have more wins against ranked teams, more wins against teams with a .500 or better records and are playing some of the best football to be seen. They are underrated and will pull off a surprise upset against Clemson.
So my money's on an MSU/OU showdown. It's going to be a great game, but I'm pulling for Michigan State. Gotta bring that BCS National Championship back to the Big Ten!
Fuck yea, feelin you man. that's the exact matchup I think will happen.
Any other games you guys looking forward too? Personally, I think the Rose Bowl should be good. Also looking forward to whatever bowl game Notre Dame gets to play in. I know they are the "dallas cowboys" of college football but they're usually fun to watch.
SMH they have the two best teams facing first rd in OU vs Clemson..... I was hoping for either of them to face either of the other two.
I got the NFC East winning this.
I'm an Ohio State fan so I'm pretty bitter with the way our season played out. All the talent in the world, but played down to our competition all season and the chickens finally came home to roost vs. Michigan State. I guess that's why the games aren't played on paper. With that being said, I'm pumped we get to play Notre Dame, this will only be the 6th meeting between the schools.
I kinda think this playoff is wide open, I can honestly see any of the teams winning it. Part of it because no one team truly looked completely dominant all season/they all have flaws. I'm not sure who I'm rooting for at this point.
I think Bama is extremely beatable this year and MSU has a decent chance, think it will come down to Cook's shoulder and how healthy he is.
Hoping for a MSU-OU title game. I think OU would edge MSU. 4th seed has won 100% of the championships in the playoff era ;)
Yeah ohio state is a great team. I used to like to play as them or USC when I had the NCAA football game on my PSP. That was back in like 06 though. I don't really have a favorite college team but do like seeing Pac-12 schools succeed.
Welp. Go Tigers I guess.
I'm not arguing that OSU should have made the playoffs, but this reignites the "most deserving" vs. "4 best teams" debate on who should make the playoffs. OU-Clemson game was decent to watch but Bama-MSU was a clunker. OSU was horrible on offense for 90% of the season and had no place being in the top 4 after losing to MSU at home vs. a backup QB.
With that being said (and the fact that OSU made some changes to the playcalling after MSU that were evident in the Michigan game), OSU-Bama would have been a much, much better game to watch.
Water under the bridge though.
