College football playoffs

[esd10]

It seemed every first round game was a cake walk for the home teams and did the playoffs committee get the teams wrong? My personal opinion is that the committee got most of teams correct but the seeding is what was wrong with weaker teams such as Arizona and Boise should have never gotten the first round bye based on the weakness of the conferences they come from.

I guess it turned out ok - Boise and Arizona St have to play the two highest seeds that advanced .
What didn’t happen BUT could’ve happened is #10 #11 and #12 seeds could have won and #1 Oregon would have had to play the highest seed to advance (#8 or #9) .. And that would’ve been screwed up

That is very incorrect. Boise State and Arizona State are way underrated in the rankings.

The quarters were mismatches. We find out what’s what on New Year’s Day. Could be compelling sports TV! Trent King

Boise +11 and ASU +14. Tempting.

ASU will cover, take those points....they might win. Skattebo is a beast.

I might be wrong but I believe Arizona is going to get dog walked out the stadium but I do believe Boise State might put up a fight

As a Sun Devil alum, I have no problem with your voicing your opinion that Texas will win big, but I can think of nothing more disrespectful and fight provoking than to call my team Arizona. It's Arizona State University, not that team down in Tucson. Fear the fork.

Yah kinda hard to respect the opinion of someone who can't even get the teams right.

Who do you like in the UPenn Boise State matchup?

I was fine with the choices and seeding. I also don't care about weaker conferences argument. We hear that crap every year in March Madness, and then some conference that was complaining loudest can't get a single team into round 2.

BSU is my favorite football team. Their Fiesta Bowl victory so long ago is still bitter sweet. Their RB Jeanty is a stud muffin, and they were holding him back most of the season to keep him healthy for this moment. I have high hopes for them.

As for ASU, I hope they do well and show that West Coastish football is alive and well. I'm very bitter about the way PAC12 was broken up.

Oh c'mon Peter, you know you want to give a shout-out to the other team that beat the Buckeyes. Why so coy?

OSU that day certainly did not look like a team that should be favored against an unbeaten team that already defeated them, if only by one point. Great win though for an otherwise mediocre UM team.
