  1. I expect not to have given up the field goal because of poor decisions. We had the ball at about our own 35 with around 3:30 left up 21-7 and had been absolutely dominating them on the ground. Run the ball and score with time out or almost out, even if just a field goal, should be the goal.
  2. Awesome Regarding the terrible sequence last drive it's like Sarkisian thinks "the run is working so I have set up the pass now I must throw" instead of "the run is working so maybe we should keep running." Sometimes yes try play action. But not stupid spinning throwbacks. And in that situation the clock is screaming to run the ball and close the half with points. Glad it worked out obviously but he had to fix that mindset or championships will be tough to win.
  3. And all of this is 100% on Sarkisian not running the fucking ball to open that drive.
  4. This is game threads. What a stupid post. Stone cold dropped by Moore and someone will blame the QB.
  5. Holy shit a drop leads to that. Please help refs.
  6. Yep. That situation absolutely called to run the ball and attempt a 3 minute drive for points.
  7. Give up on those stupid plays, Sarkisian.
  8. I'm old enough to remember when Roddy Jones said during the SMU @ Penn State game that Clemson is great at stopping the run.
  9. Calling it now. If the football gods don't allow us to win it will be because of this post.
  10. Congress should pass a law against sandwiching a kickoff between two commercial breaks.
  11. Pretty basic route combo there. Our worse opening defensive drive of the season.
  12. I think 12 is perfect but the guarantee for the top 4 conference champs should be a top 8 seed, not a top 4 seed.
  13. That should have been offsetting. The stepping over and standing over opponents shit needs to be called. It's terrible officiating to let it go. It is clearly unsportsmanlike conduct.
  14. This post makes the same mistake most people do when analyzing schedule difficulty. There is a difference between good, decent, mediocre, and garbage. You're correct about the about the Big Ten's stratification, but their issue is they go straight from great teams to one good team, two decent teams, and then a bunch of garbage. The Big 12 is much deeper in good and decent teams. And that makes a big difference in affecting a team's full season record.
  15. This is absolutely true for the P4. But ESPN has never given and will never give the Big 12 a fair evaluation. The ACC was easily worse than the other 3. It was the SEC, then the Big 12 and Big Ten were pretty much even, then the ACC. Meanwhile the narrative is that the Big Ten is in the top 2 with the SEC and the ACC is a bit better than the Big 12. Both of those are laughably wrong. Revenue doesn't win football games, ask Texas fans over the last decade plus.
  16. SMU is definitely getting whipped in the trenches but it would be 14-10 with competent QB play for SMU. That failed 4th down was an easy touchdown if the throw wasn't 10 yards too far behind the TE (10 yards versus where a properly led throw would have landed). Sure he could have easily run for the first down but it was an easy TD. That's 7. Take away the pick sixes and Penn State is down to 14. Then the stupid throw in the red zone when the slant was blanketed cost them a field goal.
  17. The SEC isn't down this year. It's actually deeper than usual. There was just more attention on the full depth of leagues and conference schedules because of the stupid huge divisionless conferences.
  18. They actually got the participants exactly right. Arizona State should be higher than Boise State and Clemson is correctly the 12th seed. Really the main issues are caused by the conference tiebreaker mistakes. With a second loss they would have had Penn State behind Ohio State. Other differences are SMU higher, again can't say anything about Indiana being lower because they have an extra loss here. All in all their rankings algorithm is a shitload better than their gameplay.
  19. Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be.
  20. So I had too much time on my hands today and started a new dynasty where I forced the actual W/L results from the entire season. I will paste the final CFP rankings after the CCGs are simulated, here are the tiebreaker issues for CCG weekend: Big 12 - Arizona State is playing BYU instead of Iowa State in the CCG. MWC - Boise State is playing Colorado State instead of UNLV in the CCG. B10 - Oregon is playing Indiana instead of Penn State in the CCG Fortunately the winners are all correctly in the games so I will of course force them to win. Let's see how EA does on the final CFP rankings, so far they've been somewhat close with some strange errors here an there. For example right now Texas is #1 and Oregon is #2.
  21. So 513 in regulation? There are only 50 yards available in multiple overtimes with the current rules.
  22. They need to start calling unsportsmanlike conduct when tacklers stand over the opponent.
  23. They absolutely can run against Georgia. Texas fans have a seriously inflated view of Georgia's defense because of our two games.
  24. The percentage of times that defenders fall for the athletic QB reverse spinout is crazy.
  25. They can win a low scoring game against a Georgia team with an inexperienced QB. Not saying they will but they can. At least if the normal Georgia team shows up and not the defense that plays against Texas.
