2015/2016 Saturdaily College Football Thread

Which channel is that? All I could find was a channel with Jay Bilas thinking to himself what awful Jeezy line he's gonna tweet tomorrow morning.

I am streaming from ESPN3 on my TV, but I think it's Classic.

 

Coaches room is amazing too, I watched that one last year and everyone is saying it's just as good this year. They're on... 2 I want to say.

 

Here's the list.

The mock review booth sounds kind of awesome. I didn't see it in my options. Oh, because it's called "Replay Room". It's actually pretty cool too. Former refs reviewing the pass interference call.

 

Actually, it's even cooler. During the commercials they went back and confirmed everyone who committed the penalties and the time and spot. I wonder what they were saying when the clock ran at the half. They're noting who makes what calls and everything with 5 different views of the game.

Clemson's defense did their best IU impression.
3rd and 1 and Henry is barely touched for a 50 yard TD.

You are half right. If it was IU it would have been 3rd and 19 when he ran for 50.

[DChoosier]

Must be a cost cutting measure after the ratings bloodbath they got for CFPs knuckle-headed New Years Eve move.

Having one of the games at 8:45 EST on New Years Eve was idiotic.
Playing the games on two consecutive Saturdays is a no brainer.

[LIHoosier]

Alabama missed that FG too.

 

Looks like everyone wants to be us.

Now they're completely trying to be us.

[Dalton26]

Recovered the onside and TD. Bama leads.

[southsidehoosier]

Stay in your lanes special teams!

[TheWatShot]

It would be hilarious if Clemson recovered an onside kick here. 

[Dalton26]

Saban doing what he does best. Winning Championships.

[MartintheMopMan]

Bummed this game didn't go to OT or avoid a futile drive at the end. It was the best game of the year and I feel a little like the air got let-out right at the end.

 

What a game though.

 

And this replay booth is the most amazing thing.

 

Best game since what, '06 Rose Bowl?

[lucel15]

We could've won

[DChoosier]

We could've won

We would have been close and called it another win :)
Think that puts us at 12 or 13 for the year.

[Hovadipo]

That game was stupid. IUFB 4 LIFE.

[lucel15]

I can't wait to be back in indiana for football season and can't wait to buy my season tickets (first as an adult) you know doing adulting things lol

FADE THE BACKGROUND!

 

For it is the longest night! It is the longest time until College Football begins anew. May the playoffs carry you through these dark next few weeks, and then basketball of course, but lo, soon it will be April and we will be empty again. Trapped in the worst time of the year. The off-season.

When April hits, we have the Schwarbernator. It's all good.

As mentioned above, Clemson gave up too many big plays similar to IU. Alabama wins another championship.

[Alford Bailey]

Hate it for Dabo. 4 titles is 7 years is crazy. Shows what a once proud program can do when they recommit themselves to excellence.

When do the odds come out on a return trip next year for Clemson? I'd put money on it. They're going to be so nasty. They're returning pretty much the whole core of that offense and have some really good guys on the bench ready to step up for the people who will be leaving. 

 

I think the playoff system is really going to highlight the lack of parity in college football. Alabama is the worst offender, but OSU comes in a close second. I wouldn't be surprised to see OSU, Alabama, and Clemson all in the playoffs next year. But, at least the Big Ten is going to be brutal enough that we could send any of OSU, MSU, or Michigan. Heck, Iowa likely has a good shot if they can pull it together again next year. The East will beat each other up so much the committee will "have to respect Iowa has fewer losses" or whatever excuse. Hopefully not.

The Way Too Early Top 25 released by ESPN had Clemson at #1

The Way Too Early Top 25 released by ESPN had Clemson at #1

I hadn't seen that. They deserve it. It reminds me of Ohio State in their ban year and the following year.
