Arizona St being in the playoffs feels so wrong.

 

Colorado decided to show up the last 2 weeks. Can't believe they blew it vs Kansas of all teams.

 

 

What I wish, is they would say screw the technical bowl requirements.....and have Colorado or Miami play a team built like South Carolina.  Let the nation see the two biggest holders of the ball vs a good SEC defensive front.

Why do you keep mentioning Miami I don't care about them lol

There is literally a scenario where Clemson could win the whole thing and South Carolina can pull a 2017 UCF and claim it for themselves as well. 

 

Insanity. 

I welcome such insanity.  I welcome the Gamecocks mental gymnastics as well. As Dabo said yesterday, they were the first 15-0 national champ, why not be the first 3 loss champ.  My favorite part is how self-aware Dabo is off the hate of him/Clemson....and how annoyed people will be if they even win the ACC.  

but regardless, I'm pulling for the lowest seeds until they are eliminated.  Well, outside of UNLV.  I want Boise St in and see Jeanty vs a good D.

NFL board.  Ward and Sanders are projected as some variation of 1 and 2.  A matchup like a SC would be super relevant to the draft and NFL.....because it pits them against a team that would potentially take advantage at their perceived flaws (and they have the same flaw).   So, I use the 2 QBs interchangeably.  Both would provide that opportunity.

I mean people have been saying this draft was weak in terms of the QB position. This is nothing new. I also agree that Sanders holds the ball a lot. He's gonna struggle if he does that at the next level.

It's pretty simple if you take off the blinders. They lost to Nebraska and Kansas because they're just not that good. They're a borderline top 20 type of team that's good enough to play with the top teams if they're on their A game but are flawed enough to lose to practically anyone any given week if they're not on their A game.

You can literally say this about Alabama who loss to Vanderbilt.

 

What about Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois 

Any team can be beat unless you're Oregon.

I think the winner of the ACC championship should get the one and only playoff spot.

 

You can't have more than 1 ACC team in the playoffs. The conference is not that great to be getting multiple teams.

SEC/BIG10 isn't good enough to take up 8-9 spots.    Almost every year Clemson made it in the past, most argued the ACC didn't deserve that spot either.   Which proved itself to be SEC fan fiction. This is just the continuation of that same thing but trickled down.  There are no dominate teams in football this year. 

Took UGA 3483 OTs to take down GT last week.  SMU should 100% be in, win or lose.  How would you jump Indiana over them that doesn't even play?

Oregon was losing in the 4th quarter to a one man show RB from the Mountain West.  That's why sports is fun.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
