Whats Up Brothers ???  

The COMMITTEE is UP , & on the CLOCK ...



MY PREDICTION for their PLAYOFF is 



# 1  CLEMSON   Don't see how they slide them back to #2..  Sure the BOGUS off sides on the on side kick was EXTREMELY FISHY, BUT it's NOT like UNC was the Better squad ... North Carolina still would have needed a TD and a 2 point Conversion ...  The HEELS could NOT get Key stops and the INT inside the 5 was a KILLER ... The Tigers offense was Humming with Watson & Galman going NUTZ ... MOVING FORWARD  I think CLEMSON is the 3rd best team in the Playoff and will lose their Opening game unless they play Michigan St , and even that is little more than a coin Flip ...




2  ALABAMA   Did NOT  look that good in the First Half vs the TOOTHLESS GATORS ... Sorry Florida FANS but the GATORS are the WORST TEAM EVER TO play in A POWER 5 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME .. Sure they would have been better with Grier at QB , since Harris is an disgrace to the QB pos...   OVERALL THE SEC had a VERY BAD SEASON ... Georgia Down, Missouri Down, South Carolina Down, Auburn Down, Ole Miss loses to Memphis , Arkansas loses to Toledo... ... ALL THAT BEING SAID DERRICK HENRY IS A MONSTER ... 44 CARRIES !!!!     MOVING FORWARD I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY WILL MATCH UP ALABAMA VS OKLAHOMA .... EXCELLENT STORY LINE VS MICHIGAN ST ( SABAN vs HIS OLD SQUAD) ..   




3   MICHIGAN St.    I BELEIEVE THE COMMITTE REWARDS SPARTY for WINNING THE BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and Jumps them to the #3 spot .....   NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THE BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ??? LOVE THE HARD HITTING DEFENSE .  LJ SCOTT might be in the Heisman running over the Next 2 season .   IOWA got one lucky BOMB , otherwise I think SPARTY goes on to win by 10+ ...  HATE to question a excellent Coach like Ferentz, but I might have let MSU score and took my chances with the Ball and 1:50 left on the Clock ...   MOVING FORWARD MICHIGAN ST. should BE CATCHING DOUBLE DIGITS VS ALABAMA .. 




4   OKLAHOMA     The SOONERS are my number 1 ranked squad according to my POINT SPREAD RATINGS .  The LACK of BIG 12 CONFERENCE Championship game will likely cost OU the #3 spot and a chance to Play in DALLAS...   OU Fans should be Happy , Maybe if Stanford doesnt lose to Oregon , Oklahoma would be on the outside looking in .   MOVING FORWARD OKLAHOMA WILL LIKELY be a very short DOG TO CLEMSON ( +1.5/2.5) OR     VS BAMA they would be catching +3.5/+4.5...   I WILL BE POUNDING OKLAHOMA $$$$ NO MATTER WHO THEY PLAY    








Do You AGREE OR DISAGREE that this will be their RANKING ??????

Long time reader/follower but rarely post. But I figure I would drop a helpful opinion. When I was watching the Michigan St game a buddy of mine said the same thing about letting them score, but I told him 2 minutes with 3 timeouts it is a bit early to let someone score especially with fumbles and epic 4 down stands or the chance of a holding penalty be called.

It was just one of those situations where neither team can stop the clock. I am sure Mich St thought about not letting clock run off so much and try to score faster in case they didn't so they could have 3 timeouts with the potential to get the ball back if they couldn't score from the 1. As their win over Michigan proved having some time left is important

Stanford played their first game at 9 AM their time at Northwestern. A game that cost them a shot at a NC, a spot at least in this final four. Big Ten team took them out.

It is too early to call games. A lot can happen between now and then.

But in theory, people are gonna overrate the SEC and downplay the Big Ten, and this is nearly always a mistake during the Bowl season.

Mich St a serious threat to win it all. Saban facing his old school. Old school win this.

I agree Brother  ... and even if the Bama vs MSU line opens at -7 I think it climbs to +10...


SPARTY is going to be real dangerous moving forward .... I believe they have a strong coaching advantage vs anyone remaining

The refs fixed the game.  The onside kick penalty was clearly arranged with the Acc by these Acc refs.  They probably let Clemson get away with holding throughout the entire second half as well. I don't remember a second half holding call on Clemson.  The refs did the same with Utah at Colorado 4 years ago by doing their best to put Utah in field goal range so they would be in the conference playoff game against Oregon.  They missed the kick and lost then. But why play the game at all?  It leaves a shitty feeling...   Corporate thieving MF's

Admittedly, I am a clemson alum....

I agree w your rankings, but I see CU vs Bama in final. 
Clemson rolled Oklahoma last years bowl game 40-6 with our backup QB. I realize last year is just that last year, but Clem D is the difference here. Clem D cord Venables used to coach at Oklahoma, he knows how to beat offensive scheme. Proof, ,40-6 last year...

Clemson game was fixed by Acc refs for the Acc conference shtheads.   They weren't going to let Clemson lose the game.  That was pretty fu king obvious.  Bogus onside kick penalty made the whole game look fixed...I don't remember Clemson being called for holding at all.  Everything worked...

Oklahoma vs Bama for the title.... if the games were the other way around and it was Clemson vs Mich St and Bama vs Oklahoma, I think we'd see Mich St vs Oklahoma.

ALABAMA      3.5/4.5 OKLAHOMA 






ACTUAL ODDS MAKERS LINES 

ALABAMA  9.5  MICHIGAN ST 
Line guess was pretty much spot on .  NO play for Now .. Might be the perfect match up for Bama vs Pro style Grinder Sparty .. If the number crosses 10 I will jump on Michigan st .


Oklahoma  3.5  Clemson 
Odds Makers appear very smart / sharp .   I believe this shows they know Oklahoma is the best squad in the country, or At least even with Bama .  Again another NO play for NOW ... Will be nice to be assured one of my Futures wagers in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ... THIS IS A POINT SPREAD SUGGEST WAGER ON OKLAHOMA -7.5

As their win over Michigan proved having some time left is important
 
I agree to some point ...although it looked like LJ Scott was wearing down Iowa on the last drive and it was only a matter of time before Sparty reached the end zone .   

If the IOWA LB goes for the Ball instead of Scott"s kneee it could have been a huge fumble as he attempted to reach the ball over the Goal line ..

Felt like the Refs missed a HOLD on Cook's run for the first down .

Thanks for Posting Brother ...

Nationally people sleep on the BIG 10

Talking to southern Buddies of mine today they all said The BIG 10 sucks , did you see that NO offense last night ... 

What I saw was excellent coaching and HARD HITTING ON DEFENSE ...

Michigan St or IOWA likely would NOT have let Florida cross their own 30 Yard Line ..

Telling you right now, this game will not be close and I am not just being a homer...Michigan st can contain Henry for one half, but they literally have no depth on their defensive line capable of stopping Henry for 4... Regardless the play of Coker has been outstanding his past two games, and he basically made the best secondary in college football look bad, just bad...

As for our defense... Check out where the Sparty offense is ranked nationally in total offense, and then check the total offenses of some of the teams Alabama has played who you would consider at least decent offenses (and not Ole Miss)... A lot of people are going to look to Cook to be the savior of the Big Ten this season, but like I said, Alabama has faced better QB's and better offenses... Our pass rush and front 7 are going to hurt them...

I am being completely honest with you when I say that this -9 is a GIFT... Bank on it...

Are you joking?  Did you watch that stellar Sparty D?  Henry will not be a factor and Sparty secondary will make life miserable vs. Coker.  Better QB and better D will win it,...+points?  Nah, Sparty to win outright.
