Bama Panther

The problem with this is one ref spotted that Allen made it. Why did that ref’s spot not overrule the other’s?

Chasing points has been awful for Buffalo. Had they not chased the points early, KC doesn’t go for 2, and Buffalo would now be up 31-28. Screw the analytics early in the game! Take the points.

Refs are at it again with this spot

Kiser looks lost this drive.

ND can’t go to Leonard that much throughout the game though. What they have to hope is that this 9+ minute drive pays dividends later when Leonard hands it to Love or their other RB with a tired OSU defense.

And now the ref trying to give KC the first down with that god awful spot.

11 minute drive to open the second half. That’s insane!

Which is why replay should review these big call penalties. The ref assumed a penalty occurred.

F these refs.

He absolutely should have just thrown that ball away instead of taking the hit. There was no way he was getting the first, and there’s not enough difference between a 30 yard FG and the 27 yarder it may have been if he had gained a couple yards for him, or any QB, to take an unnecessary hit.

I read something this week that said the NCAA is considering going to a blanket 5 years of eligibility for all student (cough cough) athletes.

The battle will likely be between Ty Simpson, a former 5 star recruit and RS Sophomore, and Keelon Russell, an incoming 5 star. Simpson is a holdover from Saban’s time. Russell is a DeBoer recruit. I don’t know how, or if, that will factor into the equation at all. They could also keep an eye on the portal, I guess, but the pickings are getting slim there, and I definitely don’t want Ewers.

This Alabama fan was ready to move on from Milroe.

It’s Greg McElroy, national championship winning QB for my alma mater, but the dude is such a pompous douchebag as announcer. He always tries to make it about himself by saying something stupid like that.

What an absolutely awful decision by Allar!!!

Allar is ass.

If Allar could hit any non-screen pass, Penn State would be up 14-0 already.

Not when the opponent is playing for its playoff life.

My proposal would be the top four ranked conference champions get a bye. However, a reseeding would occur after the first round. This rewards four of the five conference champions with a week of rest, but it also ensures actual 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, and 4-5 matchups in the quarterfinals. In many cases, the third and fourth conference champs will be reseeded lower than some of the at large teams, which is where they should be.

How does a college WR carry the ball like Smith carried it on that big play? I mean, how are you a player on one of the top 10 teams in the country and you carry the ball in that manner? (Missed the play in real time but noticed how he carried the ball in the replay they showed recently)

The non-targeting call was absolutely terrible there.

Blackshear didn’t pick that up at all.

These playoffs effing suck.

This is why the arguments happen and why teams like SMU and Indiana got in with teams like Bama, South Carolina, and Ole Miss did not. Arguments can be made for any number of teams. ND also beat Army (finished regular season in top 20), as well as aTm and Louisville (who both finished in the top 30 of the regular season). All three were ranked at the time of their games. Indiana played one ranked team (tOSU) and got smoked. SMU beat Pitt, who was ranked at the time of the game but ended up outside the top 30. Against, arguments can be made for any number of teams. The arguments for Indiana and SMU just weren’t persuasive to me. It may be my SEC bias coming through, but I think SC, Ole Miss, Bama, all had better records, even with their losses, because they did it against tougher competition from week-to-week. Either way though, 12 teams is way too many. This was imply a money grab, and there will be tons of blowouts in the first round every year with more likely in quarters and semis.

Go back through this thread. I don’t think Bama should have gotten in. I would have been happy had they gotten in, but I’m not sure they are in the top 12. I think they are in a group of 3-5 teams that could have beaten anyone in the field in a good day but lost badly if they had a bad day. My problem with Indiana and SMU is that I don’t think they could have beaten anyone in the field, even on a good day. They simply got in because they ran up wins against less than stellar competition.
