That's dirty.

It's right at the knees and it's honestly a bit late.
I didn't watch the game but I read a flag wasn't thrown on the play either.

But they'll make sure to call targeting and eject a player for unintentional contact to the head.

OU has gone into the prevent defense and Alabama will move the ball now. Silly coaching.

One of my closest friend is OU alum, and I’ve been afraid to call or text him in fear of jinxing a potential win.

The pulled the defense back in and got a turnover. Let it be a lesson.

It’s done to limit possessions and eat clock. When you’re up by 3 TDs with less than 10 minutes to go, you actually want to give up easy completions and keep things in front of you.

Alabama doesn't belong in the playoff conversation anymore.

I don't want to hear anymore of this SEC bullshit that's being used to defend both their play and losses against unranked teams nor Georgia's.

This should end that nonsense argument for Alabama once and for all.

They absolutely sucked tonight. OU played well on defense, but they've been a very bad football team all year. Bama can't claim to be a playoff team and put a performance out there like that tonight.

A 2 loss SEC team is reasonable, a 3 loss team shouldn't happen unless it's someone like Georgia losing a tight one in the SECC to Texas.

But both Alabama and Georgia have lost to and played down to their competition vs unranked teams on more than one occasion.

I'm tired of these pundits making it seem like those are just anomalies for those two teams when it hasn't been.

If you have 3 losses, and you have 2 or 3 underwhelming performances/losses vs unranked teams, then you're simply just a good team, not a great one, and they need to stop being defended as if they're great.

I bet they still sneak Alabama in. Just wait and watch.

I'm just talking about playoff here, I think 3 regular season losses is disqualifying unless it's a really abnormal situation.

I don't know who's talking about Alabama being a great team but that should be completely out the window. Georgia is capable of great performances but they're also very inconsistent.

The committee clearly thinks they're great, hence why they jumped Alabama over Miami last weekend when all Alabama did was beat Mercer!

They are trying like hell to make cases for why both Alabama and Georgia should be highly ranked despite their inconsistent play and struggles vs lesser teams.

I'll never forget in the very first playoff when Brent Musberger called Ohio State over TCU and Baylor weeks in advance despite their records because, as he said, if it's remotely close they'll go for ratings. He was 100% right. And it's the same today.

So yeah, if Bama gets it together and wins big next week watch them get in. ESPN will want the biggest name/ratings possible.

Another random thought, if Boise finishes the year with only 1 loss (at Oregon) and in the playoff, Jeanty has to win the Heisman. I don't care what Hunter is doing, a RB putting up 2300/30 to lead Boise St. into the top 10 with an average at best QB needs to win it.
