Hi college football fans! This weekend will be mostly conference championships. If there are any major upsets it could make the committee's job a bit tougher.
I'm looking forward to finding out what bowl game LSU will play in. I've heard Tampa.
Who does your team play this weekend?

MSU is done for the year, glad to put 2023 football behind us.
Just hired Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith, which is giving fans a glimmer of hope. Doesn't seem to be giving players much hope as they're flocking to the portal, including all 3 of our scholarship quarterbacks.
As we say most years. . . Yay for basketball season!

No games for us this weekend. Miss State is done for the year with no bowl to look forward to. They do have a new coach though, Jeff Lebby who is coming out of Oklahoma. The AD they hired earlier in the year also came from Oklahoma so we are hopeful things begin to improve with their program.
Waiting on bowl placements, but rumors are saying the Citrus Bowl for Ole Miss and the Independence Bowl for Texas Tech. Time will tell if those rumors are correct.

Sadly, my Oklahoma Sooners didn't make it to the Big 12 Championship game this year. However, after Lincoln Riley gutted our team last year, this year's 10-2 record is a great comeback by the Oklahoma Sooners. We feel like we have a great future ahead of us w/ Brent Venables at the helm. **GypsyGirl** we were sad to see Jeff Lebby leave OU, he did a great job as offensive coordinator. However, everyone knew he was bound to get a head coaching job soon, and I'm glad he got such a good one! And of course, everyone in Oklahoma loves Mississippi State's AD, Zac Selmon. The Selmon named is revered in Oklahoma. His dad and uncle were three of the greatest defensive players to ever play the game and they all three were scholar athletes and really good people who loved their parents. As Barry Switzer likes to say "there was never a sniff of a scandal." I can't wait to watch the games this weekend and see which teams make the playoffs. There is the potential for a lot of drama, particularly if Florida State, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Alabama win. Florida State, Michigan and Oregon would be in. Texas and Alabama would have identical records, but Texas won the head to head early in the season. Would the committee pick Texas and freeze out the SEC or would the committee pick Alabama even though Texas won the head to head? Of course if Georgia beats Alabama, there will be no drama because Georgia will be in, and Texas and Alabama will be playing in meaningless bowls in which all the best players heading for the NFL opt out.

My Purdue Boilermakers are done for the season. Hopefully we keep most of our scholarship players. This was a tough year. New coach. Old coach took a lot of good players. Time will tell... And as anniebeth24 said it's basketball season. Let's see how long we can stay ranked #1.

Well, it looks like our backup QB is “day to day” on concussion protocol. I’m seriously so pissed about the hit he took in the game last weekend. Total scumbag move but I don’t expect much else out of the train wreck down south. The game should be interesting as we are a walking triage unit at this point. Makes me so sad as this is the most likable team we have had in a long time.
Congratulations to Coach Norvell and Jordon Travis, btw. ACC Coach and Player of the Year. So well deserved for both of them. I’m excited for the future of our team with Norvell at the helm. He is first class all the way.

So far so good ~ your defense just has to hold on! And the non-call on the targeting, ugh.

My final four team are Michigan, Washington, Texas and Florida State. I bleed SEC but think they will be kept on the sidelines and I'm okay with that. JMHO.

I KNEW TR wasn’t going to start. There was just no way that Norvell or any of the medical or coaching staff was going to send that kid out there and get hit again. Our third string QB did what he needed to do to not lose. It was a frustrating game for sure, but we pulled it out and won. This team finds a way to win Every. Single. Game. Our defense was absolutely lights out. The offense wasn’t pretty, but they scored more than the other team so there is that 😏
Now, to listen to all the bozos on ESPN say that FSU doesn’t deserve a spot in the playoff is absurd. Absolutely absurd. Who knows what will happen today, but we deserve to be there as much as any damn team. ESPN’s cash cow, the SEC, should be left out because what happens on the field matters. It is so frustrating.

Michigan 1, Washington 2, Florida 3, Texas 4. Though part of me would put Alabama at 4 and Texas at 5. I say that because Texas won over the early season Alabama team when they weren't so red hot. But then Alabama had some tight games and did beat number 1 Georgia. To me Michigan, Washington, and Florida are no brainers. But that fourth spot has me scratching my head.

I seem to be odd man out around here, but I think if they put an SEC team in (which I think is probable as it is the cash cow) it will be Georgia. If not, it will be Bama because Texas is not SEC yet. Seeing quite a few predictions online of Michigan/Washington/Texas/Alabama. Will be interesting to see who the top 4 are. When do they make the announcement?

I also think it should be Michigan, Washington, Texas and Florida State.
And can I just say as a loyal Oklahoma Sooner fan I couldn’t be more pleased that we are the reason that Texas did not have a perfect season and is having to sweat it out until the very last moment to see if they make the playoffs.
BOOMER!

It’s beyond comprehension truly. I’m so salty right now. Alabama jumped from#8 to #4? Really? How in the absolute *f* do you justify that? You can’t. If I hear one more time how bad everyone feels for FSU, I’m going to head to Bristol myself and have a chat. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

But my DH and DS both felt FSU should NOT be in, bc they have a weak(er) schedule and they barely beat Louisville, the team is not the same team as they were when they started. I just want a good game. The Bama GA game was a good one. I was rooting for Bama bc they were the underdogs. Not a fan of Michigan or TX.

Totally not fair.

They also did it with a third string QB that is a true freshman. Alabama barely beat Auburn with a last second Hail Mary that some could argue wasn’t a catch and barely beat Georgia. Oh and they lost by 10 to Texas. I guess “barely” winning depends on which team you are talking about. Sorry, I’m feeling super salty so these arguments are silly. Winning should count for something.

**GypsyGirl** looks like it's Penn State versus Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl. I'm looking forward to that a lot more than some of the other matchups that have been predicted during the season. Sounds like a good game! I'm already dreaming of peach topped waffles for breakfast. I still scrapbook - are there any Ole Miss fans that want to do an embellishment exchange? Logos, mascots, small things like that?

Sorry, I agree, I watched the Alabama vs Auburn game and really pulled for Auburn! And the FSU QB thing is strange to me, I mean, if they win with 2nd and 3rd string QBs, to me, that should count for something! And you are right, Alabama also barely beat GA, but for the people saying GA should be, how can they not include the SEC champs? I saw next year it is supposed to go to 12 teams (I think)? I wonder why they didn't make an exception for this year, and allow all 6 teams - I saw a solution where teams 1&2 got a bye week, 3&4 and 5&6 played and then go from there. But I don't understand how this all goes to a committee either!

They can justify how they want,,, but it comes down to money, conference influence, and viewership. NOT how the teams should be picked!
