Today is the day

I predict this will be the 4 teams.
1 - Clemson
2 - Oklahoma
3 - Georgia
4 - Ohio St.

I said Ohio St. would somehow get in. If I have the teams and slots correct, Ohio St. will play Clemson
I hope Clemson beats Ohio St. worse than they did last year which was 31-0.

It's Clemson vs Alabama. Georgia will beat Oklahoma. They got lucky as a 3rd seed considering the 2nd seed is the weakest of the 4 teams. So should make the championship game. Hopefully Clemson can beat Alabama again.

I dunno about that.

Honestly, if I was putting money on it, I'd put my money on Oklahoma winning it all. I might actually spread some money around for this bowl season too, depends on how much xmas shopping I still have to do and how much play money I have.

Oklahoma is overrated. Zero defense even against shitty teams this whole season. Their points allowed has to be off the charts. I remember Baylor and other 3-9 teams scoring 40-50 against them. Oklahoma is a joke and the big 12 is a joke. I HOPE Georgia doesn't choke against them.

I am happy that I was wrong and Ohio St. and got left out

I like the choices, it should make for some good games.

I like Clemson to win it all.

Fucking BULLSHIT. Someone who got beat by the team that LOST the conference championship gets into the playoffs while two other major conference champions get passed over. That's fucking gay as hell. Who's dick is Nick Saban sucking? I change my mind. Put everything on Alabama AGAIN this year.

Anybody recommend or know of a good website with an easy to read layout of all the bowl season games, dates, times, etc? I used to use Yahoo, but for the past few years I've stayed away from all things Yahoo like it's diseased.

UCF vs Auburn in the Chick-fil-A bowl - UCF is going to see how football is played in bigtime conferences.

I need an honest opposing fan view foc, is it just me or were the refs seriously on some bullshit..so many bad penalties on the saints..

haunted · « **Reply #173 on:** December 08, 2017, 04:10:46 AM »

Didn't watch but in the previous game, New Orleans Carolina, it was some of the worst officiating I've seen all year in favor of the saints. So it wouldn't surprise me, shit happens. One sided officiating can matter in a close game.

I came in with about 9 minutes left on the clock, so I dunno. That last one was HUGE though. Apparently Sean Peyton came flying at the sideline judge in such an angry looking way that he felt threatened. He was protesting that he was simply trying to get a timeout quickly. But it looked to me like he was probably screaming something not-so-nice at him in the process. Sucks for the Saints, because that single penalty completely pissed away any hope at all of getting the ball back. And the Falcons were so bad at running the ball last night, they surely WOULD'VE had at least one more possession... but... then THAT happened.

Last season, the Falcunts kinda deserved a shot at a Superbowl. They were consistently putting up 30 or more points per game. This season, they've gotten back to becoming content with scoring just enough to win. The tactic of using all their timeouts at the end there to save clock time was a retarded fucking piss poor call if you ask me. They should've been letting the clock run and allowing the clock to pressure New Orleans further. Had the Saints scored a TD, those timeouts would've been better used to preserve clock for their own last possession.

But that last interception... that was all on Brees. A HORRIBLE decision to throw that ball where he did.

After reading this post I saw plenty of articles and tweets claiming the saints were robbed by the refs. One espn analyst mentioned "8 free 1st downs for Atlanta due to penalties, and with 0 seconds left at the half the saints made FG was overturned for illegal movement ".... it probably was one sided calling but who knows I didn't watch it. These same articles and reactions followed New Orleans Carolina too.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #176 on:** December 08, 2017, 10:15:11 AM »

It doesn't matter. Neither one of them are going to the Superbowl this year. Whoever reps the NFC South in the playoffs is gonna get crushed.

haunted · « **Reply #177 on:** December 08, 2017, 03:21:03 PM »

Atlanta Carolina and New Orleans will all make it with at least a wild card spot it seems but yup none of them will make it far.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #178 on:** December 08, 2017, 05:15:43 PM »

Mmmmmmmm, there's like 4 games left I think. You never know, one of these 6 win teams from another division could hit a hot streak and come up with 4 wins in a row. If Atlanta or Carolina want to get in, they'll need at least 3 more wins to control their destiny.

Looks like Alabama and Clemson are gonna be the Sugar Bowl while Georgia and Oklahoma will go to the Rose Bowl. How fucking retarded. First of all, they do it like that hoping that Georgia and Alabama will be the National Title game. Alabama DOESN'T HAVE A CONFERENCE TITLE! OTHERS WITH BETTER RECORDS DO! WTFWTFWTF!!!! And I dunno how to feel about Georgia facing Oklahoma. On one hand I'm pretty sure Oklahoma is gonna handle them. On the other hand... we have a very different coach now, and Georgia's play calling is far less predictable because of it. I said I was gonna put money on some games, but... nah. I don't bet with that many if's flying around.

Fiesta Bowl with Washington and Penn State is gonna be amazing, mark my words, don't miss it.

Peach Bowl with UCF and Auburn should be interesting as well. Most folks think UCF is gonna get hammered by a big SEC line, but... you might be surprised.

Iowa vs Boston College might be good, definitely gonna watch that one.

haunted · « **Reply #179 on:** December 08, 2017, 06:26:03 PM »

From my perspective, I'm rooting for Clemson to win it all. Georgia would is my clear #2, and i'd feel too shameful to pick oklahoma over alabama or vice versa.

I do NOT buy into the Oklahoma hype with baker mayfield or whatever the hell his name is. If they get lucky against Georgia which I wholeheartedly hope they don't that would be a shame. But it would be even more of a shame if Clemson lost to Alabama.
