Could IU’s only 2 losses be to the NCAA champ and runner up

That would be pretty crazy. Even crazier is that 2 of their wins were against the previous year's champion and runner up. So it's possible that when this season is over, IU will have IU will have played 2 consecutive years' champions and runners up and would've gone 2-2.

Good resemblance but Ryan Day doesn't usually do well as number 1.

Guys I don’t want to alarm anybody but I think Oregon didn’t deserve a spot in the CFP. They are getting blown out afterall

I'm sure Herbstreit is already firing up 'Texas beat two conference champions to get to the semifinals'.

We do need to talk about the fact that in the current format the 5 seed is the best position.....they beat the CFP's #16 and #12 teams to get to the semis.

What are the chances the Ducks mount a crazy comeback like ASU did?

Will Howard starting to look like Will Howard again......

I'd say a very good chance!

On second thought.....maybe not so good of a chance!

[Hoosierfan1901 6,340]

That should do it for Ohio State, no idea if Oregon can score quickly enough and make crucial stops

By SEC reasoning, that would make us de facto National Champs.

Gotta assume OSU will be double digit favorites here on out

Ryan Day is there to stay!

Bye teams are 0-3. I hope they go 0-4. 

I wonder if the longer time between games kind of hurts them.

[LamarCheeks 19,107]

The way the CFP uses the bowls still seems weird to me.

Just take two bowls and make them the semifinals. Or one bowl and make it the championship game. 

Ohio State just won the Rose Bowl. So now they head to the Cotton Bowl. 

Penn State won the Fiesta Bowl -- and now heads to the Orange Bowl. 

Does winning the Rose or Fiesta bowl mean anything if you lose the next game? Not at all. Those games should be the pinnacle of a season. Not the means to an end.

Then you have situations like Texas going to the Cotton Bowl which is basically a home game for them.

Random thought during the game…. Would love to pair Caiden Curry opposite to Kamara.

Prior to the brackets being announced I heard Saban say he wouldn’t want a bye as that was too much time off. Thought it would be difficult to be sharp after the extended layoff.

The bye teams were collectively a 23-25pt dog. Boise 10pt+, AZ ST 13pt+, Oregon 1pt+
