So you weren't impressed at all with Ryan Williams this year at Alabama? Another true frosh?

And never impressed with Ceedee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith?

Of course. This kid will be the same kind of difference make at the next level.

I just have more knowledge of AJ and DK from their time at Olemiss. Smith is on that level with all of your list too. . Great Hands, body and speed.

Not gonna lie.

It is kind of fun seeing an SEC team in Northern country having to play a meaningful game in December.

After about 30 years of my Huskers having to go to bowl games in Florida and Arizona to take on Southern teams, it is nice to see this trend reversed for once.

Buckeyes go up 35-10. This game is over. Dominant performance by OSU - I think they were extra motivated to prove they are for real after the choke against Michigan. Howard has been great - if he plays like this they will be extremely hard to stop.

I know there is another quarter to go, but that Alabama loss to Tennessee is not looking that good right now.

Would have much rather seen Bama taking on Penn State today.

Nobody can tell me with an honest face they thought SMU was better than Bama.

Doesn't matter in the end game.

I've always been fine with just 4. Teams need to deserve to win it. The 4th team would have been Notre Dame or Penn State. I would have given the nod to Notre Dame.

But we'll roll with this. The little teams and fans are going to quickly realize they can't beat 3 to 4 teams of this level consecutively. We'll get an upset here or there, but nobody is gonna Cinderella 3 wins in college football.

Not sure what the point of this post was. I can use the slippery slope the other way and just say why not invite every team if you want to watch bad football games?
My guess is that during the season you only watch a few games, those that you deem to be between top teams. I on the other hand do like Saturday afternoons in the fall.

The Bama team that dominated Jawja? Yeah, dey be much better than SMU.

Bama vs SMU on a neutral field. Who ya' taking?

Either way, we are arguing about the 12th seed that doesn't even deserve a chance at a Natty. They blew it a couple of times already.

Yes, no, don't care

I watch the NFL for quality of play and I watch Mizzou because I hate myself.

Maybe Alabama or Ole Miss should have replaced Tennessee not Indiana. Indiana seems to have hung better with Ohio State than Tennessee is currently doing.
Being a Notre Dame fan I assumed that ND was finished with the upcoming Georgia game, now I think maybe they have a chance.

If someone has a personal connection to a college team, it is really great to follow them.
Cheering for a pro team (any sport) in the words of an old writer Bernie Lincicome, "cheering for a pro team is just cheering for laundry".
