2018 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

More like Purdon't, amirite

Meh, bad weather and delays makes things sloppy.

Don't get me wrong, I think they're a good team. They just didn't look impressive, particularly their QB.

 

[Ohio]

Nebraska/Colorado has been great so far.

 

[Stark]

Clemson has the easiest schedule I've ever seen after Texas A&M. Might as well already pencil them in as a playoff team.

 

[Ohio]

TAMU got absolutely fucked on that touchback call. Never seen such a screwjob in my life.

Clemson looks very beatable.

 

[Ohio]

I expected more out of MSU...through 2 games they look pretty shitty.

 

[MGMT]

Not the best weekend for the conference, yo

So unless Texas AM stays ranked, Clemson might not face a ranked team till the ACC Champ game. Likely that even with as a 1 loss champ they make the playoff, but if we get a 2014 scenario where they are being compared with other 1 loss conference champs, they could be in trouble.

A&M never was ranked. So 0 ranked opponents all season. That is remarkable.

Unfortunately, I think they are going to get the benefit of the doubt because of how good they've been the last few years.

A&M winning that game would have been huge. Clemson is almost guaranteed a playoff spot at this point, unless Va Tech is able to beat them in the ACC CG.

I know you aren’t counting VT out of that game. That game should be close.

Oh, I'm definitely not...it's early, but Clemson does not look as good this year as they have the last couple years and VT looks better than they have the last couple years.

This is, of course, assuming VT beats Miami...

People forget, the year Clemson won the Natty, VT nearly beat them in the ACC CG.

The overall point is that Clemson's schedule is a complete joke. The ACC is absolutely dreadful this year.

I never put a ton of stock in what they were ranked at the time, especially early in the year. If Texas AM wins 9/10 games and are ranked at the end of the year, I have no problem saying Clemson beat a ranked team.

It's why sportwriters rank the crap sec programs like the Mississipis or Arkansas or South Carolina or even the bad Auburn teams. They end up 7-5 at best, but it takes 2 or 3 losses to drop them out, so SEC teams get credit for ranked wins.

Right, but my point is I don't see A&M ever being ranked at any point this season.

Maybe. I am not a huge believer in Auburn or LSU. The Mississippi's are fine. Arkansas is a trainwreck. They don't play UGA. Getting 9 wins is certainly possible.

Personally, I think the TAMU/Clemson game told us more about Clemson not being very good than it did about TAMU being good. I'd be very surprised if they went 9-3.
