College Football Catch-All Thread

[IllegalMotion9999]

The home team won all of the first round games last year. I think it's a sizeable advantage but upsets happen sometimes

Yeah, I got mixed up. The trend from last season was all the doggies won outright in the second round.
Home teams TCOB in the first round last year.
Think homefield advantage has diminished over the years with the improved communications.
No way Miami should have jetted down the field like it did to score the winning touchdown. Aggies could not stop the run.
Big win for the ACC. Much needed.

OSU is probably going to kill Miami.

Great call. You should start a sports betting thread so we can all benefit from your picks.
Never fathomed Aggies would only score 3 points at home.
Take note that homefield means jack sh!t so far in the playoffs. Think that happened last year too.

Ummm...I also took the over at 40.5 so don't listen to me!

No group of 5 school should be in the playoffs.

Yeah this is cementing that G5 should have their own playoff and champion

We could call it D1-AA

Not directed at him in particular, but this is kinda pitiful in general.

Predictable turd of a game in Oxford

These announcers in the Ole Miss/Tulane game are just pathetic.

Yeah, Tulane has gotten blown out. But you don't have to embarrass them from the booth.

This feels like a moment of inflection in my college sports fandom. I have reached a place where the values of the industry have probably diverged so far from my own that I truly feel an apathetic pulling away.

Tulane lost by 31. Does James Madison lose by more or less?

More.
My guess is that the Ducks are going to light up the scoreboard in a bigly way tonite.

I'm impressed with this opening JMU drive . . !

I'm impressed with this opening JMU drive . . !

I worked with a guy who played at Central michigan. They went down to play Florida back when Florida was on top of the world. He said they held with them the first half because their starters were only a little bit worse than Florida's starters. So when they got to the second half and the second string for both teams started coming in, talent levels weren't even close. I'm guessing the JMU game might go in a similar direction but I hope not.

Remember our opening drive against TCU ?

They should at least be undefeated to make it.

Football is different than basketball. When you're overmatched physically you really don't have a chance.

 

[JCTarheel82]

JMU offense is moving the ball but stalling in the red zone.
