shouldnt have punted there
I know OSU's speed impressed, but it was their physicality that won this game.Pretty much.
Ohio State has proven that they can muscle their way down the field.
I don't get what they think can happen. I believe they have used up their quota of getting turnovers.
Without that, this would have been a blow out a long time ago.
TCU is still playing the what if game.The playoff system worked this year.
Winston is the guy who can make all the throws and actually has excellent football IQ. He anticipates well and is a smart football player. If the off the field stuff was not happening he would be the clear cut #1 overall prospect...and it would not even be close.I've said this before.....if I'm Tampa I don't take Mariota or Winston at #1 overall. But if push came to shove and I absolutely had to take one, I'd roll the dice on Winston over Mariota.
Mariota seems too gimmicky to me. I don't see a huge difference between him and other read-option/spread QBs who've gone on to the pros and failed.
When Kaepernick and Vince Young are the "success" stories for those types of QBs it should make you uneasy burning a first round pick on one.
I agree. They are going to be pressured into taking one and if they do, Winston is the right choice.I've said this before.....if I'm Tampa I don't take Mariota or Winston at #1 overall. But if push came to shove and I absolutely had to take one, I'd roll the dice on Winston over Mariota.
Depending how far down they move, Randy Gregory is a guy I would want if I was them. Their DEs need an upgrade.I agree. They are going to be pressured into taking one and if they do, Winston is the right choice.
But if I were them, I'd trade down and go OT.
Their speed jumped off the screen, particularly defensively.While the SEC was down this year and not involved in the title game, Ohio St just won because Urban Meyer transformed them away from the typical Big 10 team into an SEC type team with both power and speed.
I think that there is a chance that TCU could be better the Oregon. You can't penalize FSU for being undefeated though. The selections were probably right but the teams were wrong, if that makes sense.Until the final play, Ohio State had 4 turnover to Oregon's 0 and still won 42-20.
This year was an anomaly. FSU was the weakest of the 4 but since they were undefeated and reigning champs it's hard to leave them out. Alabama and Oregon were top 2 going in and OSU was on the bubble but clearly showed they belonged. As it turns out TCU has a good argument, but most years there is really only a debate between teams 2/3 or teams 2-4 as far as who the top two are.I think that there is a chance that TCU could be better the Oregon.

Expand to 8 and call it a day.
Add another weekend, more games, more revenue, more excitement...why wouldn't college football want that?I'm 100% in favor of a playoff but if you open it to 8 teams you're going to get a few 2 loss teams in most years. I don't think that's necessary and I think most seasons teams 4-6 really will have no legit claim. This was just an odd one.
They may eventually. I'm not opposed to 8, but think 4 is fine and serves the purpose of making sure the top 2 teams are included.Add another weekend, more games, more revenue, more excitement...why wouldn't college football want that?
That was the argument for why a playoff needed to happen in the first place and you saw how long it took to put that together.Add another weekend, more games, more revenue, more excitement...why wouldn't college football want that?
