Popular Post Beerfish Posted December 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2022 Starting this thread a day early as we have the critical USC vs Utah game this evening for the PAC 12 championship. USC's only loss this year was to UTAH 43-42 earlier in the year. A USC win and they are pretty well in the final 4. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Gotta think Georgia and Michigan are in no matter what. If USC or TCU lose, not not both, Alabama is on. OSU is dead man walking. Only way they get in is if both #3 and #4 lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way a 2 loss team gets in ahead of Ohio State. If TCU loses, you have a one loss TCU or one loss Ohio State. I doubt the committee takes TCU over the Buckeyes in that case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When teams score on us it is the big play over the top, and the way Williams avoids pressure and keeps his eyes downfield, you can do everything right on defense, but still give up a huge gainer. Williams is a big play machine and that is what can beat us. And then their defense awful against the pass, but we are not exactly the dynamic offense to take advantage of it. I am rooting for SC, becuase I don't want to see Ohio State in the playoff, but I don't like the way we match up against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't have a team I'd like to see a different conference take it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OSU was in the SEC they would have 3-4 loses. The Big 10 stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State has 1. Ohio State has a top 10 win over Penn State. Bama's best wins are 20th ranked Texas by one point and 24th ranked Miss State. A 2-loss team that does not even qualify for its conference championship, imo, should not have any shot at the playoff. I am not going to say there is no chance, because the name "Alabama" carries some weight. But right now, Ohio State is ranked above Bama. Both teams are off this week. What justification would they have to elevate Bama ahead of Ohio State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe, like many, that Penn State is Fugazy, OSU ‘s best win was ND, who held on to best Navy by 3. IMHO, OSU isn’t in the same area code as Bama.

They can’t even get a good field now for 4 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Said it before I'll say it again, I just hate cute offensive line play. USC pass play so they pull a guy from one side to try and block a dline on the other side, of course he whiffs and Utah gets an uncontested sack. Block the damn man in front of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 This catch every thing one handed nonsense has to stop. Easy int for USC but the dude goes for the one handed catch and drops it, next play long td for Utah. Disgraceful secondary play by usc in this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
