Well, based on the Chicken Little - Eeyore responses so far guess I’ll check in closer to game day.
Yeah, I’m disappointed in the way the season has gone and I’ve had my over reaction moments having to walk back a couple frustrated comments but DAYUM! Some of y’all need to turn in your fan cards.
I will use this to address my qualms about the whole playoff situation here. For those that have read my posts in the other threads, this will be me addressing those matter's and why I feel the way I feel on those matters
First a Sugar Bowl beth is all fine and dandy and I want Bama to make an emphatic statement to the rest of the CFB landscape that we aren't going anywhere, and will continue to be the ghost that haunts you EVERY SINGLE SEASON!
But, the landscape has changed DRASTICALLY after introducing the playoffs. New year 6 bowls are not what the blue bloods are worried about anymore. It's playoffs, or the seasons over. The amount of top tier players that opt out of these games shows it. That just how it is now.
Now, onto the the rankings. I knew Bama was a long shot and odds were, we wouldn't make it. That isn't my issue. Bama kept themselves out. I will say the refs had a part in that during the puke game against that orange team.
My main qualm is how does TCU not drop a single spot? IDC if tOSU didn't play yesterday and their loss was by 3 scores or that it happened at home. TCU is a pretender that escaped the jaws of defeat numerous times in a weak conference with a weak schedule!
tOSU lost to number 2 Michigan. That's the only loss they had. And, until then they were the consesus #2 team. How does TCU not at least fall to 4 and tOSU get the 3 spot?! I feel vindicated in saying the ONLY discussion the committee ever had was rematch or not in the semis. I also think they didn't think that long about it.
So what I'm trying to say, as much as it sucks that Bama isn't in, we all knew it was a long shot. But we also know it's alap in the face to all CFB fans that TCU loses and stays put at 3. TCU deserves a beat down of epic proportions.
