Down goes #6 Miami as Syracuse stuns the Hurricanes 42-38!

Well that was close for a bit. Then when USC was driving to potentially tie the game and Christian Gray ran a pick back 98 yards for a score to get back to 14.

Then Xavier Watts said anything you can do I can do better, and a 100 yard Pick Six and the game was over.

ND wins big, and has to be assured a first round home game now.

Seems UNC and NC State had a fight today because of the same reason.


Mean while.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I swear it’s not new, but 3 fights today because of flag planting lmao.

Michigan vs Ohio State
UNC vs NC State
Florida vs Florida State

it’s definitely about to be banned

See you in Atlanta @Fuji Vice look forward to a fun match up. Wouldn’t surprise me if Texas won this time, hard to beat a team twice in a year.

Cheers my friend, and good luck to us both. Is It harder to beat a team twice or lose twice? Never mind the fact that we may very well end up doing it again before this insane season is over.

SMU remains my NC fave. The less hype they get, the better they look.

I don't recall this making the rounds on this here forum. Andrew Luck is back, as the GM of Stanford.

But what's the best part of this news? The return of the best Twitter follow:

No disrespect to my friends here who are Alabama fans, but they shouldn’t be in the playoffs. 2 of their 3 losses to unranked teams.

 

[Deadd2009]

Alabama being in the playoffs is a flat out joke. Who did they pay off to make that happen?

Like I just don’t understand it man. 3 losses. 2 to unranked teams, that one to Oklahoma was horrible.

Miami with two losses on the outside looking in, where both their two were close games.

I see the tweet above before I finish this about the top 25 wins. Going off that, only 1 loss that Miami has is to a current unranked team, as the team they just beat them is now ranked at 22. Only Georgia Tech is unranked, and they just went 8OT with Georgia, so that imo should hold some weight. Miami should be in over Alabama 100%

Well there you go. Miami hasn't beaten a ranked team all year long and their defense is horrendous. One of Bama's losses was to now #7 Tennessee. Miami's strength of schedule falls flat compared to Bama's. And yes, we did lose 24-3 against Oklahoma. It's an embarrassment. Honestly, I thought it was it for the team. Also, If Miami wouldn't had lost to Syracuse, that would leave Bama out of it. If people want to get mad at somebody, be mad at the committee that put Bama at #12 over Miami. And besides Miami, who else would've make the cut instead of Bama?

 

[Deadd2009]

Its no surprise that someone in the committee has a hard on for Bama, though.
