'Bama/LSU winner is in there unless something huge happens. The rest of the SEC is clearly a class below so they will offer little resistance.

I think it's very likely one ofthose two gets the SEC winner and I, for one, am hoping BSU gets the nod so they can get sacrificed by 50 and finally put an end to the national whine fest.

Or maybe not, OSU has blown a 12 point lead with 4:30 to go.

My case of beer bet is getting scarier by the week. I may lose it now. No one in the B1G is very good.

Well, that was unexpected. Pick 6 for USC, up a TD with 3 to play.

GT would like to thank Clemson for turning into, well, Clemson. I wouldn't have taken 100:1 odds, wouldn't have taken GT +25.

Just wow.

I knew this on some level before this season. It's just difficult to watch it unfold on the level it has. Big Ten winner gets Oregon/Stanford. Yeah, that's not a good match up.

Just saw the second worse officiating call in my life in the Washington game behind the extra point debacle in the Syracuse game.

I don't care if there was one second left, is knee went down in bounds before the first down and the clock should've still been running.

But did someone call timeout right away? That seems to be what Kiffin is arguing now.

Also, can we talk about how a screen is probably the worst idea there? Or, at the very least, go upfield as much as you can and get down to get a timeout called.

Except that the official seemed to be signaling that he was OOB, since he was stopping the clock.

I guess the replay confirmed the call on the field by correcting the official's mistake. Kind of weird looking though.

Herbstreit can shut up as well. He was obviously down in bounds.

Isn't that the very reason for replay, though?

This game is just...too much. It's going to take me a day or two to wrap my head around this no matter how it ends.

Oh, I'm just talking about how it looked kind of funny.

I mean, the call on the field was time expired, so presumably he simply didn't get OOB soon enough (since I believe we got the indication he was out).

Instead, the replay shows that they basically ended up with the right conclusion even though the official closest to the play go the call wrong.

{shrug} It ain't exactly like I'm pulling for the SOB on the USC sidelines (although I'll admit the upset is the more interesting storyline)

While passing Eddie Robinson Joe Pa is now 72 wins away from the NCAA all division record for wins, though the current leader is still coaching so he's gonna have to hang around a while to catch up.

We might as well just fast forward to the 2-pt conversions to decide this one.
