2017 College Football Thread

[Hinduragi]

Looks like the playoffs will be....
1) Clemson 2) Oklahoma 3) Georgia 4) Wisconsin or Ohio St

These are dark times indeed, brother =/

I've enjoyed the bowl games I've been able to see so far, though. Excited to see what the CFP holds.

But really, Bama shouldn't be in

[Hinduragi]

I watched SDSU vs Army.

Those all out rushing games are absolutely brutal haha

It's crazy to think that's how all football games were before the forward pass was invented

[Hinduragi]

Not gonna lie, I only tend to watch NFL lately when I've got extra time free or I'm invested in a fantasy league.

College to the NFL is like a theme game to a normal. So much is up in the air that you don't know what's going to happen. I just saw a kicker last night miss a 23 yard field goal... in a ny6 bowl game. A kicker who has been carrying his team most of the season and doing well.

You should see the second half of Texas a&m vs UCLA from early this season. That was an amazing game.

Not just that but stuff like seeing Ohio State get absolutely mauled by

Iowa

of all teams is just fun.

Then there's games everyone needs to see such as 2013 Penn St vs Michigan or the 2013 Iron Bowl. I love it.

[Hinduragi]

I watched the Rosen comeback. He's the best.

Agreed, I wish his o-line was a bit better this year because I was excited to see what he would do. He was the big QB out west other than Goff and this was supposedly his year. Hopefully he fares better in the NFL (anything but the browns)

[Hinduragi]

I thought Goff was trash in college. But like...I watched the Utah game. Also he looked like dookie until this year.

He was on Cal lol

Anyone who can make that team look as good as he did deserves praise

[Hinduragi]

True but I watched it too. If you remember the game well, 2 were basically on him. 2 were deflections: one by his receiver who tipped it up and one a really good o-line tip into another guy making a diving catch on the tip. Then there was one where his receiver and the db both had a hold on it but the db won the possession. I feel like the stats from that game were inflated. It's the same as Rosier last night who has 3 INTs on his stat sheet but, in reality, he played quite well and was arguably underutilized with all the wildcats that Miami ended up running.

[Hinduragi]

Yeah, but I mean that doesn't make him trash lol. He's really good. Every QB makes mistakes like that in college. That's why college is college. Even football legends give it the old college try. His other games not against a great Utah team displayed what he was capable of.

Rams have changed a lot between last season and this season, especially that offensive front. That's made all the difference for Goff because he's never had anything like that since high school. Damn do I love finally seeing Gurley destroy dreams again.

[Hinduragi]

Shaqeem is a god of defense. Top 10 pick for sure. Glad they won, wish they would've had a playoff worthy schedule before bowl season.

like bama LUL.

-create playoff to give teams like UCF(as the current example naturally) a chance. first chance a team like that pops up completely dick them over.

just fucking rofl.

yeah. I hope they expand it to 8 teams. The rules for what qualifies as playoff worthy are too inconsistent.

[Hinduragi]

Respectfully disagree, I think UCF makes it in an 8 team playoff easily.

[Hinduragi]

They were 12 tho

Like I said, inconsistent rules as to what is prioritized for playoff teams. A perfect season will overrule a lot of other factors.

[Hinduragi]

On the flip side, don't know how many of you actively watch college games but that Georgia game is the reason I love this sport. Man, that was an incredible game. I still can't believe that happened off of Goggles' 55yd field goal. I had given up hope in the first half but the second half was a completely different defensive team.

[Hinduragi]

Tickets are skyrocketing with Georgia never having been natty contenders in decades.

Really hoping Bama doesn't walk away with another natty after tying their division and not winning conference.

[Hinduragi]

Are we really calling the American a minor conference? They replaced the big east, I feel that should have some clout.

They're a G5 for sure. It's pretty much the only reason they didn't get a higher ranking this season. Even USF should've been higher during the regular season.

[Hinduragi]

More difficult non conference schedule would have helped.

kek

Non-conference teams don't want to play actual good G5 teams, only the shitty ones (and some FCS). The schedule is not their fault at all. It's extremely difficult to get P5 teams on board with a schedule against them.

[Hinduragi]

Dunno what you just tried to say there because inferior is being thrown all over the place.

UCF got screwed over and the system is flawed as fuck is all I'm saying. They had a game vs. GT

and

Memphis that got cancelled. None of these wins would've really helped them in hindsight except given them one more win over a ranked team (and it's not even their big non-conference game).

Their schedule is not their fault. Non-conference scheduling needs to be fixed.

[Hinduragi]

I appreciate that UCF is committing to the meme. Coaches bonuses for winning national championship, a parade, a banner.

Fly them to Atlanta fuck it. Go even deeper since they never got the chance.

I hope there are shirts. I'd get one.

If they commit and fly into Atlanta, I hope they say "we want bama, and georgia". Full-on 22v11. This has potential to be the greatest national championship of all time.

[Hinduragi]

It's the south man. People down here still think it's all good lol

[Hinduragi]

I wanted to go to sleep early this game. My heart can't take anything as close as the rose bowl again.

[Hinduragi]

Too many mistakes.

Back to the regularly scheduled life of a Georgia fan of "maybe next year" and "I'm gonna avoid all Tech fans for a while". Also, I feel so bad for Auburn.
