1-1-2021: The Official NCAA College Football Game Thread (New Years Day Playoffs special)

[Jetlife33]

Did the broadcast team just say the Alabama kicker is a perfect 89 for 89 on kicks this year? Can we draft him with the #2 pick? Haha sarcasm aside, the Bama QB doesn’t look pro ready to me. He’d probably have to sit at least a year once drafted.

I think he has already done enough for that.

Yup

True story 

my wife just asked me “ will you watch serendipity with me?”

can someone let me know how fields looks? ?

Every year for the last 15 years, ND finishes at around10-1 and gets crushed/humiliated/beaten down in these Bowl games.  They should just not even bother.  Why is it ND cant find an elite QB prospect.  They have really fallen off the NCAA planet's edge.

Ian book is exactly who i said he was in September

They have a higher academic standard then the football factory schools were you play if you can spell cat. It’s harder to get top players at all the positions so QBs don’t go there.

He sucks

So their back has thrown 2 passes all year.  I feel no sympathy for these teams that beat up on teams and never play their backups at all.

He's the third string.  Back up has a knee injury.

This is going to be a weird feeling watching this game for me.

I'm about to me rooting against Trevor Lawrence while rooting for Justin Fields...

[32EBoozer]

Well that TD will have cost some people who took Bama and the points!

[fusionCA]

******* ND with the back door cover

They're 3-3 the last six bowls with two wins over LSU.

Or just enjoy the game?

How on earth are some of these guys only 19-20 yrs old. They look twice that. Insane.

The gap between #1 and #4 is bigger than #4 and #15, which is not good for the sport.

How would have Oklahoma fared?

Not any better.

Like they have in every other playoff game they were in?  

[Jetlife33]

Root for Fields to go off tonight. No matter what the Jets do, Fields having a huge game gives them all the leverage. 

[Obrien2Toon]

Osu- lsu would’ve been an epic championship game last year

that osu team was so stacked

sad the refs handed it to clemson

[Defense Wins Championships]

I never thought I'd be saying this, but... 

Let's go Justin Fields. 

My biggest criticism of this kid has been his struggles against good defenses. 

Tonight he has a shot to prove me wrong. 

[Shelbyblue]

Ok Fields...its your moment!

For real. He's playing for the #2 overall pick. 

Because that's what a great showing gets him.

Not sure if it would make a difference, but I would think an 8-team playoff, with one spot for each power 5 conference might help level the playing field.  More options to get to the playoff might even out the talent a bit. 

Either that or we just have to wait until Saban and/or Dabo decide to move on.  Curious to see if Clemson takes a step back next year with DJ as their QB after a great run with Lawrence and Watson.

[HawkeyeJet]

Herbstreit just talked about something on the intro that I've always wondered about regarding Lawrence.

 Herbstreit essentially says everyone knows about Lawrence's arm, but it's his legs that OSU has to worry about and I agree.  I think a big part of what makes Lawrence so dangerous is his running ability, but I just don't know how much that will translate in the NFL.  That's why I was never sold on the generational label.  I just don't see him being an elite/high end runner in the pros, and I just don't think he was quite on the level as Luck or Manning etc as a pocket passer.

Just my thoughts.  Very excited for this game.

Cmon Justin. Show us something.

Is the word "No" not in your vocabulary brother ?

A player to watch tonight maybe for the future, is Ohio tight and Jeremy Ruckert, #88. Not sure how much of a role he’s going to have tonight but I think he’s going to be some thing

[joewilly12]

Travis Etienne is the RB I want on the NY Jets.

I feel like Dabo saves those designed runs for the playoffs

#16 in orange is not bad
