6:30pm CST, ESPN, if you're really interested. I'm pulling with B1G on this one.

Yep, I will watch the bucks roll.

Don't expect that anytime soon:

Notre Dame's $20 million statement: Orange Bowl defeat of Penn State secures independent status

Notre Dame's defeat of Penn State in the Orange Bowl puts its College Football Playoff payout at $20 million and ensures its independent status

It will have to be forced. As in, only teams playing in a conference are eligible for the playoff.

You’re missing the key words “in the SEC”…

PSU and ND both did nothing during the regular season.

Neither did Texas. It is what it is. Weird season

We still don’t consider Texas “SEC” yet

 

[Krymsonman]

This is some kind of weird playoffs for OSU. They got the home game, but then had to go out west to face Oregon again, now they're in Dallas to face Texas. I hope they weren't counting on home field advantage.

still don't consider missouri SEC and it has been 12 years

 

[Krymsonman]

Man, Ohio State can't get out of their own way right now.

Brother, USCe and Arky still aren't SEC to me, much less Mizzou and 8&4...

Honestly I couldn’t care less. I hate the SEC and openly cheer against all of them with the exception of Bama.

Seeing Downs and Sayin on OSU makes me sick.

Seeing Downs and Sayin on OSU makes me sick.

Agreed. Seeing Downs "top 2, baby, top 2" knowing they're the most expensive team in college football history. This isn't fun anymore.

2 mediocre teams playing in a semi that neither really earned?

Raising my hand to answer...

It's not college football any more.

Notre Dame is a big draw but Penn State is not. I think the fact that it was played on a Thursday night didn't help. That's a horrible time to schedule a playoff game. I guess we'd have to see how Texas-Ohio State did Friday evening to compare.
