I thought taunting was a dead ball foul?
I wasn’t aware of that. I think it’s kind of a weak rule, but it is a rule.It wasn't taunting. There is a new rule about excessive celebration on the way to the endzone. The refs thought that's what
he did.
I’m not convinced the loser is out if it’s a close, last second field goal type game.If Ten, LSU and USC lose another, who is 4th team? Has to be loser of The Game, right, unless blowout? Who else?
Again, that's up for debate which is why there was no flag.He made no attempt to run a route, it’s clear as day.
I disagree, they just can't be in over 11-1 Tennessee who beat them by 20 at home. Feel like that would turn into Ohio St-Penn St situation again.If LSU wins out, they’re in. However, since UGA seems to turn it up when they play in big games, I expect them to win handily.
If LSU, Tennessee and USC lose then definitely not. They loser would definitely be alive.I’m not convinced the loser is out if it’s a close, last second field goal type game.
That’s terrible.Hooker just blew his knee out. That field is in bad shape.
If they win out, that would include a win over UGA, they’re in if that happens.I disagree, they just can't be in over 11-1 Tennessee who beat them by 20 at home. Feel like that would turn into Ohio St-Penn St situation again.
I honestly don’t see it.Again, that's up for debate which is why there was no flag.
Tennessee player made it obvious by stopping/stutter stepping right in the way of the defender. Wouldn't have been called had he just continued to run his route.Absolutely offensive pass interference, Tennessee just got called for it on the exact same type play.
Disagree, but it'll be moot anyways as it looks like the Vols are going down tonight.If they win out, that would include a win over UGA, they’re in if that happens.
Thought the one against Tennessee in their game was a lot more obvious than the one in the Michigan game.I honestly don’t see it.
Why do you think the schools are pushing so hard for games on campus sites for the 1st Round and Quarterfinal Round?A common argument I’m seeing tonight in favor of playoff expansion is “nobody expected South Carolina to beat Tennessee.” That’s lacking context. Neutral site games vs non conference opponents are a totally difft animal. How many actual upsets have we seen in the playoffs? Maybe 1 with OSU beating Bama in ‘14.
Look at the recruiting rankings of Mich St, UW and ND after their playoff appearances…they didn’t get much better.Why do you think the schools are pushing so hard for games on campus sites for the 1st Round and Quarterfinal Round?
Additionally, with more spots available the thought is more talent will be dispersed throughout the country instead of hoarded at 4-5 schools. The transfer portal should help spread out some of that talent as well.
There were still only 4 spots when those teams made the Playoff, but fair point. Like I said, that's the thought (hope) with expansion.Look at the recruiting rankings of Mich St, UW and ND after their playoff appearances…they didn’t get much better.
