Listen up boys, the guru sports better is talking...

100k on Alabama
100k on OSU

Easiest 200k bet you will ever make, or you can stay poor.

meh, i'll stay "poor"...

you know what they say about a fool and his money...

 

[Black Adam]

Do you think Ohio State’s team is as good as last year?

I think Clemson is. Maybe even better.

they were saying the same thing on BSpn yesterday...

but hey, the game's gotta be played...

Covid about to ruin the NFL playoffs.

the Bucs most important LB and Kamara from the Saints likely to miss the WC game

Unfortunately, this was always going to happen.

NFL needs to bubble up right now to insure the integrity of their playoffs as best as they can.

More importantly though, Kamara did win me a fantasy football championship!

As a Saints fan, just got to hope we find a way to get that bye week. Hopefully the Bears can help us out

CFB playoffs is so horrible every year. I would prefer them going back to the BCS system with only 2 teams.

The talent level on Alabama is literally a cheat code.

And that's why it will always be CBB>CFB for me

No way!

2 teams is horrendous.

They need more, not less.

I used to agree but these playoffs are horrible every year. Maybe i would be on board if they do 8 or 12. This 4 team crap isn't better than the bcs to me

I do not for reasons that I gave. Offense probably just as good, but D not. Also do not think Clemson is as good but think they lost less elite talent.

was always a huge proponent of an 8 teamer and still favor it, but I could also now see keeping it at 4. But agree 2 is absurd.

I'm guessing you think it's horrible because often there are blowouts, but what do you think happens if Bama faces, say, Cinci in round 1 and Clemson faces a lesser team than one that got in?

what makes 1 game better than 2 with a computer picking the game (as well as biased coaches)?

Liking CBB more is certainly an opinion you are entitled to, but aren't there a number of blowouts in the Tourney, as well? Bama has been knocked out before and seems Clemson has been just as good in the CFP era.

 

[bksballer89]

ND battling at least.

Get a td here please

Money line or the spread, Mr Guru?

 

[DJ Fieri]

I think Clemson has too much. Fields can’t afford to make many mistakes today.

Yeah, he was horrible vs NW.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Dabo talking too much. His disrespect for Ohio State is wild at this point.

I would love to think OSU wins, but I do think the lack of games hurts Ohio State. College isnt like NFL. You really need time to develop college players and get chemistry. Between only 6 games and guys missing games Ohio State has no kind of rhythm or flow at all.

Dont get me wrong- I hope Ohio State wins - and they have the talent to win- but i just dont know if they are where they need to be as a team right now to pull off this win.

I hope they do though.

I surprisingly won.....and my opponent had Kamara.....LOL.

There are but it is really unpredictable. I want to see the 4 beat the 1 in these cfb playoffs at some point. In CBB, the 1/2 seed lose frequently enough to a team seeded 4 or lower

whoa...how did that taste coming out? All seriousness, only thing I'd like is more concrete rules to go by (as much as possible). So far, does seem like if you lose 0-1 game and win your P5 conference you will get in. But not a requirement.

wouldn't mind 8 teamer with all P5 winners in and 3 at large (no more than 2 from a conference). want a G5 included? OK, but I'd prefer they need to have no more than 1 loss and be ranked top 10. also need to have beaten a P5 team. Round 1 at home field of top 4 seeds.

and, sure, there will still be debates over team 9-10.
