Whoever bet the under in the game is in trouble 10-7 already

Actually if that is they score the same amount in the 2nd half they still hit.

24.5 is the under right?

It'll be close but I believe these teams can hit the under.

 

[AVXL]

their offense is just an absolute crime.

Bro yall are gonna be able to name the score vs them guys. Their defense is solid but they can’t move the ball on offense so yall are gonna put up 35-40 easily

 

[Drake's Tan]

Breh they are FOOD next wk vs either Michigan or OSU. Their offense is awful to watch

Nebraska might beat Iowa straight up

No lie they would probably be food against Rutgers or Maryland in a neutral site.

 

[AVXL]

Why line up to go for a fake on 4th an 1 with 30 seconds left at your 25?

 

[Drake's Tan]

iowa vs nebraska is some entertainingly bad football.

Another reason why I prefer NCAA to the NFL, because bad NCAA games can be greatly entertaining like this shyt show while bad NFL is always boring af, the players are too skilled to put out absolute crimes against humanity like these two teams are doing today.

It’s weird how some CFB fans constantly bytch and complain about where mid SEC teams are ranked in the polls, folks don’t do this with other conferences 7-4 Clemson ranked right now and not a peep.

7-4 Clemson has beaten ranked 8-3 Notre Dame as well as an 8-3 North Carolina team that was ranked until Clemson beat them last week. 3 of their 4 losses went down to the final possession, including an overtime loss to #5 Florida State, a double-overtime loss on the road against Miami, and a close loss on the road to ranked 8-3 NC State. They were willing to schedule two solid OOC matchups (Notre Dame and South Carolina) and played more road games than Tennessee did.

7-4 Tennessee hasn't beaten any ranked teams, in fact, they've only beaten two teams with winning records all season (Texas A&M and Kentucky), and they barely won both of those games. All four of their losses were blowouts, the closest of which was an embarrassing 29-16 loss to a mediocre Florida squad where a missed Gator field goal and a late Tennessee touchdown were the only reason the game was within 20. They only played 4 road games all season (went 1-3), and all four of their OOC matchups were cupcakes, with the only Big 5 squad on the schedule being a terrible Virginia team.

And yet somehow the playoff committee put that worthless Tennessee team 3 spots ahead of Clemson in the rankings. Worse schedule, worse wins, worse losses, worse margins....by EVERY criteria Tennessee should be below them. Yet they're not....solely because they are listed as an SEC team.


Thank you for giving me such a clear opportunity to make my case.

You're seriously going to ask me why I focused on Tennessee and not Clemson?

Welp TCU got packed up quick

 

[AVXL]

at propping up Clemson over the Vols and using a win vs an overrated ND as justification

Some of yall letting yall bias show all over the place

SEC teams traditionally schedule 2-3 cupcakes a year because of the strength of the conference schedule.

Wrong, for most of them it's 3-4. I already listed those schedules the first time we had this argument.

The SEC (even in a “down” year this season) has 6 teams currently in the CFP Top 25, the most of any conference.

That fukking circular reasoning yet again! This is the FOURTH time in this conversation that you've used the fact they're ranked to justify the fact they're ranked.

And the fact that more SEC teams are ranked is meaningless when they don't play those teams. This is how pointless those "6 ranked SEC teams" are when you look at the actual schedule:

Georgia only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year, and one of them was Tennessee who shouldn't be ranked.
Alabama only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year, and one of them was Tennessee who shouldn't be ranked.
Ole Miss only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year.
LSU only had 3 ranked SEC teams on their schedule this year.

You're bragging about "They have to play cupcakes cause their in-conference schedule is so hard!", yet they only play 2 or 3 legit ranked teams in-conference all year!


Meanwhile, UW in the "easy Pac-12" has played a tougher in-conference schedule than any of those SEC teams, having to beat three top-15 squads in Oregon, Oregon State, and Arizona, plus Utah and USC teams who would both be ranked right now if they hadn't played such tough schedules (9 in-conference games including facing 4 ranked teams each). Yet despite that much tougher in-conference schedule, UW only scheduled 1 OOC cupcake rather than the 3-4 cupcakes that SEC teams schedule.

All of your narratives are based on lies.
