Looks like Herbie and Fowler can have a happy circle jerk back at the hotel tonight.
Ohio State vs Texas game thread

Ohio State is an elite defense against the run--see our loss to them
He didn't think he could run up the middle so he made gutsy play--I don't like it (WR motion, shovel/handoff would be my call) but I get why he did it--desparation
As much as it pains me to say it, I am rooting for Ohio State next week. Watching ND celebrating like they won the God damn super bowl in a game in which they didn't deserve to win was sickening and it's going to bring me pure joy to watch them crying like babies and suffer the ultimate heart break of losing the ACTUAL BIGGEST GAME OF ALL, THE FINAL.
Actually I hope it's close and they lose late in the fourth quarter. That's even better.

Why aren't we?
Ohio State winning is good for us--and the conference
Hopefully they destroy ND
I am. I want Notre Dame to suffer and cry.
The narrative that year was we had 2 losses and an ugly loss to ND and a bad loss to PItt
Their only loss was to a top 5 team
It wasn't even a debate--the committee said Ohio State and Penn State weren't compared.
Clemson is only marginally better than SMU. I really believe that ASU would’ve had 4 losses in the Big or SEC. I agree Texas had a harder path but not by much.
Wrong. Hopefully they win a close game on a last second field goal. That's much sweeter and far more heartbreaking.
The CFP has been exposed as a sham this year - the last 10 years of the 4-team playoff have been excluding the best teams. If we believed the CFP, Oregon, Georgia were the two best teams and clearly that wasn’t the case.
Oh for Christ sake just enjoy your 8-5 record and your 10 million dollar quarter back and go back to Ann Arbor 😂
Oh my. Sorry I asked a simple question. I agree it would be difficult to explain. My bad. I’m gonna stick around tho. 😂
Agreed--but Clemson/SMU are about even. Boise State/ASU--meh--ASU doesn't have a defense so maybe Jeanty kills them. Hell both backs might run for 250 in that game
Alright, alright, alright...no more texas band stupid railroad song, dumb hand gestures, and leather clad McConaughey for another year.
Well Franklin not calling timeout doesn’t automatically mean ND didn’t deserve to win. But I suppose some may look at it that way.
Deserve is always a "challenging" word because who deserves what\
Ultimately ND won and that's all that matters.
Everyone is writing off ND...their defense will cause the OSU OL issues...and that secondary and D is legit...leads the nation in turnovers I believe....all the pressure is on OSU
Not according to any of the ranking systems that are generally accepted as a standard. Plus, they got this round’s game in their home state.
Against tOSU, PSU started out with a first and goal from the 3 and lost by 7. Texas started out with first and goal from the 1 and lost by 14.
Texas also beat fewer ranked “nobodies” than PSU this season.
When will Texas receive a portion of the negative coverage PSU has received during this tournament?
Clemson hasn’t been good for years and got lucky to beat SMU. ASU has had one decent year in the last ten.
Check downs are very common in a 2 minute offense holy shit you are clueless...
Lol it wasn't a 2 minute drill there were 30 second with 1 timeout. You can't check down there. The correct, valid complaint is it should have been throw away OOB earlier. Can't check down and waste the last time out. Can't.
You only do that when you have a quarterback you can't trust. Turns out he shouldn't have trusted him.
And you can't trust any QB with that play calling and WRs that can't create separation. Drew's rarely been picked but he had an off night and Franklin foolish but him in a position to fail. Fact
The sad part is that PSU had the better team and no way should have lost to those "holier than thou" a-holes.
Take comfort in knowing that we'd have little chance of beating Texas and no chance of beating OSU.
Both are absolute complete teams. Dominant defenses and elite talent on offense.
This was a low-scoring game because these defenses are a cut above anybody else in the country.
SMU was a slightly better than average team, but beat no one of any significance. I will give them credit for winning all of the games they were supposed to.
Boise might have been worse than SMU. Other than their RB, they don't have any elite players. I know Boise played Oregon tough, but so did FCS Idaho. Granted, Idaho was a tough team as demonstrated by their 3TD win over Lehigh.
I thought PSU handled SMU as expected. I became concerned when they didn't roll Boise. I like the fact that the Boise States of the world are involved in the playoff, but I didn't really think they were one of the top 12 teams in the country.
