Mt Union and Johns Hopkins are trading touchdowns...this is a really fun game to watch

Mt Union 31
Johns Hopkins 22

I will say this Mt Union team isn't nearly as good as some in the past from a pure talent perspective, but they are playing tough....they are just doing plug and play today.

We're just a better team than SMU.

Honest question…do you think you’d have it this easy vs Alabama?

I think Alabama would have struggled in these temperatures and their losses to lesser teams would make me question if they could beat us anyway.

SMU showed the ACC they could do it all season.

The process is flawed, I get it. It's not simple. There will always be something to bitch about, and that's what ESPN/TNT/MAX want. They want people bitching about it.

1847 to 1990 - Mt Union has no appearances in the championship
1991 - I enroll
1991 to 2024 - Mt Union wins 13 national championships and goes to the title game 23 times


COINCIDENCE?

James Franklin finally getting that monkey off his back has to feel really good. I cannot lie, that win has to make him feel amazing. Finally beating a top 12 team in the home town.

I believe the Buckeyes-Vols game will be good game As the game is at home, I think Ohio State should win it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Vols win. Most Ohio State fans want Day fired.

Boise State shouldn’t be ranked fourth in the playoffs. That spot belongs to Texas. I’ll swap Boise State to Texas spot

Boise State is a better football program than most people give them credit for. Do I think they can beat Penn State? I doubt their ability to. We stop the run really well.

I'm glad Mount Union won but they gave up some big plays.

Now watch North Central.

I hate USC and I hate Texas. They’re two programs that the media is obsessed with and celebrities love to associate themselves with when they’re good. Insufferable programs in every way with entitled ****** fans who invariably have no real association with the university.

Do you not think Football was created to sell food or something?

USC is a different story, but they're in LA. UCLA has fans too.

Texas is an iconic program.

I still think Clemson loses this by 2+ scores.

The 12 team CFP was a mistake. Always has been.

Nah. I like the 12 team. Teams lose in the top 12 on a regular basis. They had a week to prepare. The interesting matchups are what I like about it.

Teams that never play each other are playing each other.

Agree. Should have been 6 or 8. Or at least put the best 12 teams against each other. Not the best 8 and then sprinkle in some teams from weak ass conferences.

Trust me. The SEC took note of today. The day will come when them, the Big 10 and Probably ND break away from the rest of college football and create their own tournament.

1) Indiana and ND hadn't played in a long time. Indiana is a B1G school. Notre Dame is an independent.

2). SMU deserved their spot throughout the regular season. They finished on a run.

3) Clemson has been in the final 4 before. And sometimes teams start slow, and finish fast.

4) Ohio State/Tennessee is between 8/9.

I respectfully disagree. Alabama beat Georgia, South Carolina and should have beat Tennessee. I just can’t see a world where SMU is in the ballpark with any one of those three teams. I just think the ACC is complete trash this year.

The talks about teams like Indiana and SMU not belonging are so infuriating as a College Football enjoyer. They both took care of their business during the regular season. They couldn't control the strength of their schedule since we see games regularly being scheduled 5 to 10 years in advance. But the main point is that both teams losing weren't even the worst losses we have seen in the CFP era. Indiana, score wise, wasn't even a blowout!

20 out of 32 playoff games, all time, have been 14+ point blowouts. 62.5%. I am in favor of the expanded playoffs because it makes the regular season more important in the long run. I am not in favor of people being dense and acting like better teams beating other teams, by a big margin, is something new for the CFP.

I think if you’re going to let a second ACC team in, it should have been Miami. Their ACC schedule was tougher than SMU’s. I mean who was SMU’s best conference win? Stanford? Miami lost to two decent teams (Syracuse and GT) that SMU didn’t even play.

The committee stated before the season, if you make it to the Championship games... they won't punish you for losing.

Well maybe they should rethink that because for 7 of the last 8 quarters SMU looked like complete garbage. They got rewarded for one good quarter against Clemson who also looks like garbage.

NIL is changing everything Navy. These playoffs are a trial run to see if it needs tinkered with.

No game is going to be a 27-24 game. Maybe tonight, but it could potentially be a blow out too.

Everyone sucks the SEC dick all day. But no one wants to admit that they're the ones who overloaded their conference. They know their teams are going to lose. Don't fault a team for being in a lesser conference. Boise once won the Fiesta Bowl over Oklahoma. Upsets happen. NIU beat Notre Dame.
