Ah, good to know you’re an ECU fan. 

Nope, I just know Mike and his family.   The man is a winner and a top notch person.  Sure I am biased but he has won and won big at every stop he has been at.  I expect nothing less at ECU.  In his 2nd year he has just been up against the wall for numerous reasons but I expect a big break out next year

Since this seems to be the official CFB thread. Who do you guys think should make the Playoff? My vote is OU for the fourth spot and take Ohio State and their 6 wins out. Shrugs. OU finally has a defense and has looked dominant the past 4-5 games. 

Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio St. and Clemson right now. If Ohio St. or Clemson loses, I would take one of Texas A&M or Florida(if they are still 1 loss teams) and Cincy. OU is a two loss team, they completely do not deserve a shot at all. Especially with as weak as the Big 12 is.

Ohio State is about to play a total of 7 games, and got murdered on defense by a guy that my phone autocorrects to penis. And struggled vs Maryland yesterday. Yes Maryland a team that made Minnesota look competent on offense, and many other teams. 

Texas A&M will lose to Auburn, because Kellen Mond is back to his old self. Florida will lose to Bama, they'll be done. So, I'm not worried about those two. Ohio State doesn't deserve to be in because they'll play a total of 7 games, which is horrible, when other teams have played 11 games, or will play that many. They'll probably put Notre Dame, and Clemson in because Notre Dame is going to get murdered by Clemson this time around in the ACC Championship. I don't like Notre Dame as a matchup for Bama, because Ian Book is not good. And ND's defense is vastly overrated. You get destroyed by a true freshman QB to the tune of 428 yards at home? Yeah, not good. The only top 10 team that would give Bama fits would be OU, because of their defense.

OU deserves a shot because eye test means more than anything this year. And OU has flat out dominated their competition for the past 5 games. Plus, will have 3, maybe 4 top 25 wins to end the season. If they continue that trend, they'll be top 5 easily by the end of the year. And they'll avenge one of their losses (Iowa State) in the Big 12 Title game, which was a huge talking point when they made it with a lesser team in 2018. Again, OU has a defense right now. Plus, their offense is again top 10. This is a COVID year, they deserve some semblance of a shot.

The Big 12 is weak? Big 12 has 4 teams in the top 25. While the Big Ten has 5 right now, and Wisconsin has played a total of 3 games, and they won't play but 5 all year. They shouldn't be ranked, and neither should Iowa, but whatever. If anything, I would argue this year the Big 10 is weaker than the Big 12. Michigan is hot ass, Northwestern is debately the Big Ten's second best team and they lost to Michigan State which is also hot ass. Penn State was 0-5 for the first time ever (they've been playing football since 1887). Indiana good story and all, but no, I don't think any Big 12 contender would struggle vs them. Oklahoma would give Ohio State issues, because OU is top 10 in sacks, top 5 in TFL. If the Big 12 is weak, the Big Ten is also weak.

Just have Bama play Clemson after Clemson curb stomps ND in the ACC CG and get it over with. They're head and shoulders above everyone else.

All the golden domers conveniently forget that Clemson wasn't just missing Lawrence in that game, they were also missing several defensive starters.

I don't think Clemson is head and shoulders above everyone else this year. I also see flaws in Bama, see Ole Miss, and Georgia with their mediocre QB starting. 

Sure, they've torched Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi State (before their new QB started playing), and Auburn. And will torch LSU. 

What if I told you those 4 teams they've played before yesterday were all not in the top 50 for total offense? How would you feel?

Sure, you play who you're scheduled to play. But, the teams with good offenses they've allowed a good amount of points to especially Ole Miss. Shrugs.

I mean, Clemson got shelled by Ian Book. Also, the penis take immediately made me laugh.

Top 25 rankings are pretty meaningless this year, TBH. The Big Ten started late, the Pac-12 started late and some of the smaller schools aren't even playing at all. Yes, OU and the Big 12 is weak. That is why despite their inclusion in 4 of 6 playoffs, they have never won a game nor has the Big 12. In fact, they are the only P5 conference to never record a victory in college football playoff history. Their BCS era performances, not that much better. 

I wouldn't argue that the Big Ten is also not weak, although I'd take their top tier teams against the top tier of the Big 12 and I'd DEFINITELY take their bottom tier teams against the bottom of the Big 12. Don't get fooled by the Big 12 basically not playing OOC games. That is the reason why they look good every single year, is they start playing each other and make themselves look better than they are. 

IMO, you take an undefeated Ohio St. team all day long over OU. But, rest assured, there is literally zero chance that OU makes that playoff. The playoff committee wouldn't even seriously consider them.

They'll for sure take them serious. Why do you think they're 11th? Beating Okie State 41-13 was a huge win. Again, eye test matters. Playoff Committee chairman even said OU was without their best D-Line guy in the two losses, plus, their best RB. Since they've both comeback the games haven't been competitive. 

I don't think the Big 12 is weak right now, compared to the Big Ten. I wouldn't take the bottom teams over the bottom of the Big 12, besides Kansas. I think Baylor would give Michigan a game, same with Penn State, I will say Kansas would get murdered by everyone but that's because Kansas is just Kansas. So, so, bad.

And OU hasn't had a defense above 60 for every Playoff chance they've had, that's why they haven't competed. You can win with an average defense in the Playoff, with a poo defense? No, you can't win anything. 2017-18 when they faced Georgia. 65th defense, 2018-2019 when they faced Bama 120th defense. 2019-2020 with Jalen Hurts, in the 60's again. Bad defense is bad defense, period. You eventually get exposed when you have a bad defense.

However, this year I believe OU is different. They haven't allowed over 30 points in 4 games, and are again top 10 in sacks, and top 5 in TFL. As Kirk Herstriet stated. This OU team is more complete than any other team they've had because of their defense. And personally, they would be the only ones to give Bama a game as a fourth seed.

Well it's easier to have a good defense.....against Big 12 teams.
