Hey Boom. I haven’t been on in a while. Logged on to see if you happened to have a Clemson/Alabama game pick. Very proud of our boys. No hating on Alabama, as they are the gold standard. Just happy we are champs again. There are so many that still don’t think Clemson is legit, and that’s a shame! College football is the best spectator sport imo. Regardless of size, enjoy it! If you lost money, relax! It won’t be the last time. Great game for Tiger fans. Hope life is treating you well Boom! |

You guys are killing me. if you think it's fixed, then why would you ever read a write up about a game, post your opinion on what side covers, or EVEN BET?
If you think Tim Donaghy manipulating point spreads means all sports are fixed, then you probably aren't going to listen to any opposing opinions anyway. Can a ref or player manipulate the outcome of a game? Sure. That's not the same as saying the NFL is like WWE and the winner is predetermined. i've lost some bad bets and spouted nonsense in the heat of the moment. Who hasn't? The amount of people you would have to silence to pull this off as an organization is mind boggling. Any monetary gain made by one fix would be negated if such a plan was found out about by the public, and it would. It would kill all sports gambling. You couldn't make enough money on one games action to merit taking the risk of doing it and getting busted. If you wanna blame a single person for trying to sway an outcome, go for it. If you wanna suggest that the NFL as a organization predetermines game outcomes, then you aren't smart enough to be listened to. |

No one plays down to their competition like the Steelers do! Bye week and the starters rested the final regular season game. We looked like we forgot how to play football. The Rooneys don't fire coaches, and Tomlin is young. Unless he decides he has made enough money and retires, Steelers fans can expect to be underwhelmed for years to come! |

These threads are great. Mainly to see how little some folks know about the difference in talent college vs pro. If you lined Cleveland up today, after going 1-31 and then listening to idiots say "Bama has a chance", it would be a felony. Aside from obvious talent gap, don't dismiss grown man pride factor. Cleveland could tell Alabama that they are only running the ball, and still score every possession. Crowell and Johnson Jr would run it down their throats all day. |

Correct. Coming into Spring practice, few thought Bryant would end up as the starter! It will be harder for him to win that battle again in my opinion. |

Congrats Tappy! Alabama ear every bit of this win. I couldn’t be more disappointed with our offensive effort, both players and the coaches. We took the field like Bama was going to just roll over and give us the win. Embarrassingly unprepared. |

A few years ago, someone here organized a bowl picking contest. I dont remember who did it, but I'm pretty sure bklowoutgm and skanless were in it. we should do that. I think it was based on confidence values on each game.
Good luck guys. Life is to short to be angry, unless you lost money. Let's not let this digress into offensive smack talk.

Boom.
Glad to see you back on for bowls. I gotta say, I disagree with you on Alabama. If the CFP were just going to select the 4 most deserving teams, then their one and only poll would be the one we saw Sunday. Unlike last year, the poll should use the previous week's poll as a starting point for the next poll. I think they did a better job of that this year. NeXt to last CFP poll(next game result)(reasonable final ranking): 1.Clemson(Pounded Miami)(1) 2. Auburn(lost badly to UGA)(6-8) 3. Oklahoma(Pounded TCU)(2) 4.Wisconsin(lost to OSU)(6-9) 5. Alabama (dnp)(4-5) 6. UGA(Pounded Auburn)(2-3) 7. Miami(lost badly to Clemson)(10+) 8.Ohio St.(beat Wisconsin)(4-5) Clemson and Oklahoma took care of business. UGA stepped up and beat the #2 team, so they are in. That leaves one spot. The choice is move Ohio St up from 8 to 4, or move Alabama up from 5 to 4. For me, it's all about 2 losses, on horrifically, for OSU. Alabama didn't get to play UGA due to the idiotic divisions within conferences. Being a Clemson fan, you would have to agree that the #2 team from the ACC Atlantic division is almost always stronger than the winner of the Coastal division. Regardless of what Auburn and USC fans think, it really came down to Alabama or OSU. As much as everyone has blasted Alabama's weak schedule, OSU didn't exactly play a murders row of opponents. They let Oklahoma spank them by 15 in their building. They lost by 31 at Iowa St! Alabama lost at Auburn, but played them better than UGA did the first time. As we saw with Clemson, the CFP is more lenient on close road losses. However, you can't lose at home by 15 and get steam rolled by Iowa in the same season, and still expect to be considered a top 4 team. Most folks, including Vegas knew Wisky was overrated. Therefore, a close win wasn't going to result in a 4 spot jump. Can someone please show me where the CFP said winners of power 5 conferences are in? Everyone says it like it was listed in the bylaws. I don't recall ever reading that. Regardless, this is still soooo much better than the BCS. Did previous performances by OSU factor into the discussion? Wouldn't be hard to believe, but that won't ever be said. Clemson 24 Alabama 21 UGA 34 OKL 31 Clemson 27 UGA 24 Why? Because I'm biased! Good luck on your bets! |

It hasn't cost us yet, which makes me nervous. you never want to have your play calling dictated due to avoiding using your kicker. On FGs 30-49 he is 2-7. Also missed 2 XPs. I don't understand missing XPs. I kicked until I was in 10th grade, then lost out to a soccer style kicker. I was old school, toe that $%#@. Obviously I didn't blast any 50 yarders, but I didn't miss any XPs in 2 seasons of kicking!

As for the Auburn game, saying that a game will be determined by how good a team plays vs an opponent of a different team, especially in a rivalry game, will cost you a lot of money when betting. Clemson in 6th in yards allowed. Check out ESPN's Defensive Efficiency ratings. They factor in many other aspects in their ratings. 1. Clemson 2. UGA 3. Wisky 4. Alabama

blowoutgm, I hope you aren't taking our back and fourth the wrong way. I've been here a long time, although very inactive lately. I read all your posts, as well as others I respect here. I went to Clemson, so the last thing I will ever be is an SEC fan. I only speak up if it's a game I'm betting on. Otherwise, it's just another opinion.

Vegas can say bama would be favored but this aint about vegas. Auburn beat bama in a winner take all. Bama cannot advance by losing, especially losing their last game. I saw auburn man handle bama and if the goal is to find the four best teams, the committee failed with respect to bama and auburn. Auburn had a better resume than bama. A non conference non division champ with a free pass and a week off from a 13th game. what a travesty. PS: a two loss auburn conferencd champ would have made the cfp. Until conferences play everyone, there will always be the risk for this scenario. forget this season for a moment. if It was UGA/Auburn in the championship game and UGA was 8-4 but won the game, would they deserve to be in over Alabama who let's say was 10-2? Of course not. The flaw is in having divisions within conferences. Conference championship game winners aren't a good measure of the best team in the conference because they don't always include the 2 best teams. Before this season, the winner of Clemson/FSU always faced a team in the championship game that was usually weaker than the Clemson/FSU loser.

Instead of yards per game, yards per attempt would be a more accurate measure. Everyone in the Big 12 runs more plays because their defenses aren't good.
Yards per completion allowed: UGA 5.6 (#2) OKL 7.5(#83) Yards per rush allowed: UGA 3.5(#19) OKL 4.0(#44) An offense is only as dynamic as the defense it faces.
