Based on what the committee has outlined and said….there shouldn’t be room to move a team that doesn’t play up. Now you can move a team down by losing the championship but they have said you shouldn’t really be penalized for making it and losing. So winners can go up. SMU is at 8….so that would be a pretty big ding to drop them below Indiana, Bama, etc (who shouldn’t move) I think Boise State might get dinged out in a loss. But it would be essentially a one spot drop. SMU would have a bigger drop. but who knows, they want Bama in. Bama got way more eyeballs interested than these small schools

Only one man can do something about that and keep Bama out…. Yours and everyone’s favorite coach…Dabo!!!! Clemson wins and they can keep Bama out

And when Travis doesn’t win….you can credit Deion for not helping in the end. Deion controls all. So that marketing pitch to all the Heisman voters was all Deion Sanders message. And he prioritized his son….because that’s always been why he was in college football. It’s family business.

I think a world exist where Trevor gets hit on that play and it not be a dirty hit. That hit was dirty. There was intent. The forearm into the neck head was a choice given the position Trevor was in. You could have pulled off to some degree and maybe just end up hitting him somewhere. Flag and no suspension. repeat offender. It’s coached. Texans coach was a clown. Blaming everyone from Trevor to blaming Jags players sticking up for thier QB after his body locked up stiff after the clear dirty hit

well, I think that is the the actual game that shows where he is at. He doesn't have to be great. But KC and Tampa literally setup for him to do well. Weaker pass defenses that have high blitz %. Philly presents the nightmare scenario for Bryce. Great pass D. They barely blitz. And the cold exposes weak arms. If Bryce somehow looks just okay vs that....I will then change my tune on him.

why Travis Hunter shouldn't win the Heisman? Because even Colorado isn't willing to actually sell that narrative. Colorado just sent their marketing to all Heisman voters for who should win.... it's HeisMEN. Plural. With Shueder listed first. Give my boy Jeanty the award. His numbers blow the last 2 Heisman RBs out of the water.

matchups. Weak pass defenses that blitz at a high %. I suspect when the matchup alters.....so will Bryce's play.

Hottest take of the week: Texans HC blames Trevor Lawerence. Then blames the fight after on the Jags for overreacting. there is a reason that Texan defender is taking dirty shots all season. It’s at the top

we can revisit this after the Philly game. if you play any QB long enough, they will have some decent games. Especially when they catch some of the easier setups. We saw this last year.

yep, Canales is playing like Bryce and company got some vintage John Fox D to play complimentary ball with.

yeah, I don't get conservative play for a bottom rung team that isn't actually going to do anything. Be aggressive and go for points. 4th and 1 should often be a no brainer. You got nothing to lose.

DE, DT, LB, DB. Start there. I still like the Carter and then Carter draft mindset (but the 2nd Carter has been a little disappointing this year). Penn St and Clemson.

the real test of where Bryce presently is remains Philly. Tampa has the 30th ranked pass D. KC had the 23rd ranked pass D. Philly has the #1 ranked pass D......and on top of that it will be real cold ( and per Cam Newton, real cold exposes weak NFL arms). Can Bryce be average in that scenario....that's the test.

they said during the KC game he was hurt and it would limit what they could ask of him. I wonder if he is still just nursing something. Overall those were non-pressure easy kicks....which is what he built his resume on as being the most accurate kicker in NFL history doing.

“Just a reaction, just a reaction”. which is probably true. Natural instinct for most isn’t to try to go one on one with that big fella in a random split second. I didn’t notice it live. Replay and the right angle shows Bryce thought about it and a window to try.

Bryce being asked in his presser why he pulled a Cam and didn’t try to jump on the fumble….

I don’t think he is a good play caller. and I never support meh playcallers calling the plays as HC. Be a HC. And that’s amplified when we are talking a green newb at both. that said, we should of won regardless of that. Hubbard can’t put the ball on the ground

What I really wish happened in football in both college and pro….is after a game is over and the league/conference/refs “explain” what happened on a call…..that explanation was public info. Because you know sometimes the response is….well, we got that one wrong. I’d love to hear the explanation on the Mafah fumble. Clemson runs a play to the SC 20. They then blow the whistle after that play to go back to review the play before that. And they give SC the ball despite the fact that play was blown dead before SC “recovered” the ball. I mean you don’t even have to get into the was he down with possession argument/fumble/lateral part. No point arguing that component. How do you rewind the clock like that after a full play is off AND then how do you award possession for what happened after a play was blown dead.

well, every fanbase can argue if it wasn’t for the refs they would have won a game they lost. But aside from that, I’m good either way. SC or Bama. I think that will be far down the list of complaints when the dust settles. frankly I’m rooting for chaos so the CFP has to really show their hands and set precedence year 1 of the 12 team format. Or outrage is generated so they fix the format/criteria

Isn’t he hurt? Last week when he was kicking they said he had an injury that limited what he could kick out there I think

I think they are the same tier teams. I think most of the top 25 really is. I’d probably let head to head settle the differences. That OU loss would make me think long and hard though. With no dog in that fight, I could understand it either way

Well, coaches poll is out. It was pretty in-sync with the CFP poll last week. Think the top 12 was all the same outside of the Miami/UGA flip. Gamecocks 12. Bama at 11. that puts Gamecocks as first out as of right now. Lot of SEC fans pulling against Clemson and Iowa St this weekend. They would knock Bama out too

When that arm locked up stiff after….you know the brain ain’t right. and somehow that defender still was talking poo and acting a fool after. I get bang bang and making a mistake. Fug dudes who actually give zero poos after. His PR forced apology will be meaningless after

That unfairly punishes teams. Which I get a SEC fan having little sympathy or understanding. It’s a problem you are essentially uniquely immune to. Final poll was Michigan 1 and Washington 2 last year. Indiana had them both of them this year….they have no control of what they became. As a Clemson fan, every year when it was the final 4….everyone argued we didn’t belong because of SOS. Underdogs in every game, ever played in the CFP. 2nd most wins though and 2nd most nattys. I’m sure your model would have kept Clemson out almost every year. No control of what Auburn, A&M, SC, ND, UGA, etc would or wouldn’t be. Old model never guaranteed entry. New one should scrap it too. It will be silly for Clemson and Iowa St to make it in….way more so than Indiana IMO.

How do would you punish Indiana then?
