Here is what happens a group of students on campus take the big football game this weekend a little to seriously. Admire their devotion but this is really sad and takes the hatred of your opponent a little to far:

Watching top teams play sometimes they look like what IU tries to do but does not do and top teams do it and make it look easy both, team wise and individual players.

Petrino headed back to Arkansas as OC. What is it about this guy? He continually burns bridges with places only to have them welcome him back.

It’s weird. That’s the best you could do was this guy again?

DeBoer and Penix only 3 minutes away from being in the CFP

[LamarCheeks]

Washington, DeBoer and Penix to the CFP!

I had to quit watching, but my phone just went off with a notification from ESPN calling it an upset. I don't understand all the Washington disrespect, I hope the win the whole d@mn thing!

9.5 point underdogs lol. Not sure what anyone was thinking there. That was charity.

Word.  Congrats to penix and deboer

Penix gets Pac-12 title game MVP. 

Good for him!

Seriously, that’s the committee. It looks like the monthly tenants’ meeting an assisted living facility. 

[Alford Bailey]

Washington beating Oregon twice is quite the accomplishment. They deserve a little more respect.

[LamarCheeks]

Today could create some real chaos for the CFP committee. 

Texas is winning big. Imagine if Michigan, FSU and Alabama win.

For four slots, you'd have ... 

Unbeaten Michigan, Washington and FSU

One-loss Georgia, Texas and Alabama

Georgia would've lost its league title game. Alabama would've beaten top-ranked Georgia. Texas already beat 'Bama. 

Then there's one-loss Ohio State -- but since they're not playing this weekend, I have a hard time seeing them as a factor. 

Would the committee actually leave the SEC out? Or would it leave an unbeaten team out?

It would be neither, right? The 3 unbeatens and Bama. Unless you’re counting UGA as unbeaten, which is fair but complicated. 

I am very ready for 12 teams.

But Texas would have just one loss -- and a win over 'Bama. 

[Alford Bailey]

Texas is out IMO

True. I guess to answer your question, no I can’t see them leaving the SEC out. 

UGA might also just come out and make this all moot lol.

I cannot imagine they'd exclude the SEC, either. 

But if Georgia loses -- Texas would have a helluva argument against 'Bama.

Good argument, but that is meaningless. The NCAA is a wholly owned subsidiary of SEC football. The commitee will do their duty and install a SEC team no matter what.
