Fraud. mlk. Congrats. You sark ballcuppers

Did you watch the game? Texas ran up and down the field. Dominated the lines. Knocked out the Georgia qb had 5x the yards in the first half

And still managed to lose.

Well, TX had their way with UGA in the 1st half, piling up 260 yards of offense. UGA has been a second half team all year and last night was no different as they held TX to 129 total yards. TX did nothing in the second half.

129 isn’t terrible. Not great but. Either way when you do what they did in the first half Texas should have been up 3 td. How many turnovers did they give back due to penalties. 3? Ball game right there

Every coach that you have jumped up and down about fails. I didn’t see Kiffin playing today. Or were you fellating him in a hotel room?

Expanded playoff systems dilute the regular season

In a 12-game season, every game should be a "have to win," unless you have an expanded playoff system in which going 10-2 in a major conference guarantees you a spot. Was there ever a 2-loss team in either the 4-team playoff or the BCS Championship Game?

In the NFL, if you're dividing up the league into 4-team divisions, winning your division should be the baseline for advancing to the playoffs.

I agree that a 12-game season does make it more difficult for good two-loss teams to make a limited playoff system, but D3 does it just fine. Hell, even high school does.

I'm not suggesting diluting the season, just putting to rest the notion that only 1-loss or undefeated teams are necessarily the only teams that should be allowed in the playoffs. For years undefeated teams loaded up on retarded competition and were rewarded for it. I think that's where the "have to win" mentality really turned a portion of the regular season into a mockery. I don't know about you, but I don't give a shit about my team having a tune-up game against UC Davis...and not only because they might lose.

I think we can limit OOC games and eliminate conference championship games and that would allow for a 16 team-playoff, which is even more reasonable as it allows for more teams that proved something (during the regular season) to have a shot, in the form of at-large bids to deserving programs. And, no , this isn't the equivalent to a participation trophy, I'm only talking about top programs that season that demonstrated they're worthy of inclusion.

Yeah, many good teams would be excluded, but that's where the regular season really does make a difference. Winning 10 out of 12 games should not be part of that exclusion if you make the selection based on any other number of factors, such as SOS and to whom those losses occurred. I also think improvement counts, and that's why I brought up the 2002 USC team; NOBODY would have wanted to play that team in a playoff, and they shouldn't be excluded for losses to K-State (who was really tough at the time) and Penn State really early in the season.

EDIT: Okay, it was Washington State, not K-State. I looked it up and was wrong. But I stand by my original point.

They won’t. Oregon is a great team and if state Penn beats them then we see two teams that can and will beat nd

ND didn't beat anyone of note this year. Beat a lot of really bad teams, which is how they set up their schedule. If they get home field in the first round, they will win, but they will get killed on a neutral site vs a top team.
