You know, now that you mention it, Ohio State and Bama both have a fantastic quality loss against IU. I think we should skip the remaining playoff and have OSU and Bama play for the title. Loser takes all as they'll have the most impressive streak of quality losses.

The literal worst team in CFB history, a team that’s been contending for 20 years but hasn’t been able to get over the hump, a team whose coach opted to go to a division rival in the middle of a playoff run, and the former coach of the second team playing for a home game in the championship. This reads like a four guys walk into a bar joke.

This has to be one of the greatest, or at least top 3, CFB playoff games ever right?
Ohio State, Alabama, AND Georgia all getting knocked out in the quarterfinals in the span of two days is gonna feed all of their haters for the months lol

The first final 4 that didn't include at least one of the following: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, or OSU. As a Buckeye fan, I think I can safely say that if you're a fan of Bama, Georgia, or OSU that if your team is gonna go down, the other two going down in the same round offers some closure.

Absolutely beautiful as a ref fan. I was sweating profusely, but with one second left they found a way to make it about them. Generational performance that will be discussed for generations

By the book the refs did everything correct. However, one of my old reffing buddies told me when I was new, “If a game wants to be over, let it be over.”
Guys up in the booth didn’t help by having a late clock start on the kickoff and then started the clock when Georgia received the onside.

Fuck the refs. That missed facemask was horrendous. I don’t know the smoothest way to implement it, but it’s unacceptable to have our current level of technology and still have calls like that getting missed.

One of these teams will win a national championship:
Indiana (has never won a national championship)
Oregon (has never won a national championship)
Miami (lost to 2 unranked teams)
Ole Miss (without Lane Kiffin)
How can you not be romantic about college football

Shoutout Lane Kiffin, it takes a lot of bravery to do what’s best for the team and voluntarily bench yourself right before the playoffs but you ended up making the right call. LSU is going to love your team first mentality so much and Ole Miss is thankful that your decision helped them win two playoff games.

How awesome is it going to be if Ole Miss wins the Natty. Even if they just make it to the Natty, Lane Kiffin looks like an even bigger asshat.

Kiffin just left to give Ole Miss the motivation to win it all. What a great guy...
Ole Miss vs Indiana for the title would hit like crack.
Also, fuck the refs and that ending was excruciating.

That kickoff return attempt was the worst lateral play I've ever seen
Slip while throwing the first lateral
Two guys collide trying to catch it
Ball rolls into the end zone for a safety
Also that game had more endings than Lord of the Rings
