Oregon reminds me of a Crean team, All offense and not much defense.

All signs point to Barry Odom as Purdue’s next HC

UCF is going after him to. Which is a more attractive job, UCF or PU? I guess we'll find out.

Man, how do you miss the face mask on SMU there?  Ref was looking right at it.

Oh, really? When I googled him I saw an article from yesterday saying he was who UCF was targeting. I guess that writer was misinformed.

I know this is the football thread, but Gonzaga is skull dragging Kentucky right now in roundball.  Up 15 with 17 minutes left.

SMU down 10 and driving, trying to make it a one score game.

Pretty sure it’s about to be a done deal unless something happened

Not that this makes it right but……

In many games, especially against “name brand” teams, we complain about missed holds/missed PI’s etc, but to be fair those missed  calls seem to be common in every game I’ve watched today.

Clemson has no penalties with 8 minutes left in the game.

 

[RaceToTheTop]

SMU within 7 at 31-24.

Clemson gets its first penalty but it gets declined -- running into the kicker on a successful field goal and the penalty wouldn't have given them the first down.

[RaceToTheTop]

Oregon and Penn State both with 450+ yards now.

[RaceToTheTop]

Strange sequence.....Penn State QB runs for 18, throws one pass, leaves the game for just one play, comes back in.  Announcers said he hurt his shoulder but seems strange to leave for one play, certainly not long enough to look at it.

[RaceToTheTop]

Missed call -- Penn State completion, refs overturn it.....Penn State goes quick for some reason and doesn't give enough time for review.

[RoadRage]

Either Penn State is better than I thought or Oregon is not as good as I thought?

[BtownStrength]

SMU with the ball. Chance to tie it up if they drive.

So how did Ohio State play this week?

I think that you are thinking too much like a fan and not reflecting what the committee has been indicating.   It was my opinion that if Penn State were going to drop behind anyone except potentially Notre Dame they would have had to lay an egg against Oregon tonight.

At the end of the day, the last impression of Penn State is likely to be a competitive loss against the #1 team in the nation.  Ohio State's last impression was a loss to a mediocre Michigan team in their home stadium.

I also would bet $ OSU is seeded higher than PSU. Common opponent, h2h and analytics will all favor OSU

[RaceToTheTop]

Big question in the SMU/Clemson game....SMU down 7, ball back with four minutes left.  If SMU loses by this score:

1.  Does the committee keep SMU ahead of IU and Alabama?

2.  Do they drop them below IU but ahead of Alabama?

3.  Do they drop them behind both and leave them out of the playoff?

--------------

IMO, the likelihood is in order #2, 1, 3.

Oregon defense isn't great.  Offense is.
