If we win the Fiesta, we go to the Orange Bowl on 1/9 and play the Sugar Bowl winner (Georgia/Notre Dame/Indiana).
Football Penn State to face No. 11 SMU in first round of College Football Playoffs
- Thread starter Dylan Callaghan-Croley
- Start date
Who cares. It's midnight for SMU because we are coming to play and they are not Oregon or Ohio State. Clemson had them at 31-14 so there are zero excuses.
TNT doesn't even have a football announcing team, do they? Be interesting at least.
I don't care if they have Charles Barkley do the game at least it's not on Fox with Gus Johnson.
ESPN is producing the games so it will be ESPN crews. That being said, Turner does have a broadcast crew for their WB games - Thom Brennaman/Max Browne
As many said prior, the 5/6 looked like the best path from the get-go the moment auto bids went to 4 conference winners. Flawed system in that regard. Traveling for the other rounds stinks too in my book.
Agree. SMU has excellent speed in their offensive skill positions.
That has to change as well...home until the title game. At the worst, Oregon should be hosting the 8/9 winner.
look for SMU to be a perennial power now in the professional NCAA. They have a lot of v oil billionaires. We have an excellent record against teams rated below us.
All you do is complaini about football so why watch and why be here? Go back to nut board
Dumb @as shows again his complete ignorance..... the CFP administers all elements of the CFP Playoff. The B1G has zero to do with the administration of CFP games.... or assigning Officiating crews. The CFP using PSU's venue for one of their 1st RD games has zero to do with the b2g assigning crews for PSU home games during regular season. ZERO. I believe the CFP established the rule back when it began in 2014 that all CFP games would be Officiated by crews which were "neutral" crews relative to the Conferences of the two participants.
This is a massive advantage for PSU and disadvantage for duhO$U as their postseason records versus the SEC reflect (bowls, including BCS Era, have also long used Neutral Crews relative to participants). duhO$U's all-time record versus SEC in postseason is 2-12 with first game occurring in 1978 - many times losing as the higher ranked favorite (PSU during the same period is 10-7 versus SEC - often times winning as the lower ranked underdog). duhO$U's abysmal postseason record, especially against SEC, demonstrates that they are one of most consistently wildly over-rated teams in the postseason and the b2g's corrupt hack Officiating Crews play a central role in this (last year being another great example where a 11-1 higher ranked duhO$U team loses to a 10-2 lower-ranked underdog Missouri team in Cotton Bowl, where mighty duhO$U put up 3 freaking points in losing to Missouri 14-3. In fact, duhO$U put up more PENALTIES (8) than they did points (3). LMAO, yeah duhO$U isn't disadvantaged when not playing with a corrupt b2g hack Officiating Crew..... riiiiiiggggghhhhtttttt.).

You didn't get that was making fun of him and others like you that focus on the refs?
Good luck!! Can’t wait to watch all these games!!
Hope to be in SB to at least tailgate and hoping for bad weather for ticket prices to drop. Otherwise, an IU friendly bar with friends.
