Cof. Championship Games

[NCHawker]

Some quality football on display this weekend. For the first time in my life I was actually rooting for USC. Both teams were fast and athletic. And what makes it fun is offensive competence. Good running and passing.

Watching Auburn reminds me that there is more than 1 way to play offense. They have all that talent and they still put in wrinkles to keep the D on its toes and gain an advantage - how refreshing !

The CFP has turned this weekend into appointment television

What if fOSU beats Wisky convincingly? Do they get a look at for the playoffs?

If Whisky wins convincingly, they gotta be in.

I think Ohio State might get in with a win. They'd certainly have a better resume than Alabama although the loss to Iowa looks bad

Ohio State shows you can throw deep on the badgers.

Not sure if the badgers have ever trailed this year but I'd have zero faith in hornibrook leading anything with his arm

and that is everyone's go to for keeping Ohio St. out.....the Iowa loss.

Wisconsin a better team if Nathan Stanley is the starter?

Wisky is back in the game with a pick-six.

A badger player from rock valley Iowa with a pick 6 for Wisconsin.

I think Ohio state's wins vs Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan State would easily cancel out the loss to Iowa. Alabama's best win of the year is vs #17 LSU their next best win was vs #23 Mississippi State.

fOSU with rwo offensive TDs. One defensive TD for Wisky.

Buckeyes exploiting a very good badgers defense.

Just how good is that D. They are getting lit up by OSU.
I feel dirty...but slightly pulling for OSU.

Both were blown coverages.

If Wisconsin didn’t completely whiff on Stanley, they would be a legit contender. Their quarterback is a bum...

Was Iowa going to make him an end or keep him at linebacker?

It will be interesting to see what the committee does.

Both were blown coverages.

The first buckeye td had two receivers threaten the one safety and both receivers ended up wide open. Barrett threw the tougher pass but it was a blown coverage for sure because you cant have two receivers downfield on one safety with no help.

Edit... a defense would be helpful too

Especially if it comes down to Alabama and Ohio State. Basically two blue bloods. My gut says they put Ohio State in...especially if Ohio State just crushes Wisconsin

Today is appointment watching for college FB but it was 55 degrees in Des Moines with no wind so it was also appointment 18 holes of golf. Checked the Big 12 score a couple times, watched the first half last nite of Pac 12, saw the end of SEC game after watching Fran's guys not be able to make a key shot against penn st. Now Wisky could be in serious trouble because not much running room and Horibrook is going to beat you with his arm I dont believe.
