Conference Championship Game Thread

Alright, moving onto Oregon Lions what is the significance of this game . First round bye, and that’s it? I imagine that should they lose there is no risk of Penn State getting punted for a different one loss team. Their resume being something other than stellar.

Correct? The Big Ten gets four autobids.

Georgia beat Texas in Austin when they played. Georgia is now 2-0 against Texas. Should Texas now be out based on that line of thinking??

Ah, OK. I misremembered then. Who did they lose to? I’m feeling lazy.

Maybe third time is the charm for the Longhorns.

Yeahhh…but it says they’re #3, so gotta count for something.

Texas has lost to Georgia twice. Georgia lost to Alabama and Ole Miss.

They’re so chronically overrated. I hope they get thumped in the playoffs by ASU or Boise

This is over

Oregon may make it look easy.

SMU just got called for one of the most ridiculous roughing the passer penalties I’ve seen

It would have been 4th down, instead Clemson scores. This happened earlier on another TD.

QB was hit when he still had the ball in his hand. Completely ridiculous.

Ez to cheer against the O.

I was at the Gophs vs Penn State game and I a, confidant the Gophers were the better team. If Penn State makes the playoffs that tells you how close the Gophs are.

First round bye is a pretty big deal. Extra week to rest and recover. But yeah, the playoff has eliminated a lot of the significance of conference title games for the Big Ten and SEC who know they are going to get multiple teams into the playoff and both championship game teams will be in.

IDK......I still think winning conference championships is a big deal.

PSU with more fight than I imagined and good for them, they didn’t crumble when it 28-10.

PSU has got a lot of talent. TE Warren is fun to watch and really good. Allar is inconsistent, but when he's on, he's in the upper-tier of college QBs. Lots of athleticism on both sides of the ball.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Will they crack 100 total points?

Will be interesting to see if they can do it for 4 quarters.

That O/u

Both these teams will get byes at this point right?
