Everybody is entitled to have their own opinion, and they should if they are serious with their opinion.
We've all seen teams lose the past couple of weeks that some of believed it was a fluke bc they shouldn't have loss to the team they loss to and that happens in all sports just as we loss to Louisville, that loss should have never happened bc our team has more and better talent than they have.
IMO, when we played UGA I thought we would lose that game before we played them, and I believe that if we play them again they should beat us again bc UGA is to us like we are to Louisville, they have more elite talent than we do and on either side of the ball, and IMO Georgia is a better coached team than our team is coached. If we face Georgia again, with luck I hope that it won't be before the NCG so that our guys will have a chance to play a couple more games bc games this late in the season are the games that will help our younger guys to develop and be better players for next season, Go Tigers, just do your best bc that's all anybody can expect!!!

Just a suggestion: look up the difference in "lost" and "loss".

Don’t bother, altering his grammar is a 110% “loss” cause.

So in the first year in a 12 team playoff two losses won’t eliminate you and three losses won’t eliminate you if you win your conference championship. Three losses with no conference championship win and you are done. I can agree with this pattern.
Unlike the 4 team playoff if you had 2 losses you were out. It would surprise me if down the road there will be a 14 or 16 team playoff. If so then you may get in with 3 losses.
Until then and for right now, GO TIGERS

There are a lot of changes that are going to have to be made. In the future, will it be ranking that will gets you in, or s.o.s.? Saban made some great points today. Do rankings matter? If it's all about the ranking, why play a difficult schedule? Schedule cupcakes. Does s.o.s. matter? If it does, why did Boise St, at 85, and Arizona st, at 50ish, make the bye and not Clemson, with s.o.s. of 35? How does beating a no 5 team stack up against losing to no. 80? Should the NCAA go to an NFL version of the playoffs? Break conferences up into smaller groups and just take the best of each conference? Revenue sharing, the NCAA version, may increase the gap between haves and have nots. If you want to give every school a real chance, you have to move the money around and who wants that? I'm donating to Clemson, but some of it may be moved to UCLA? Or even USuC? A lot to figure out...

Yes, a lot to figure out. I was never in favor of conference champions getting an automatic bye. Should have kept the 4 team model and then pick the next 7 teams. It will eventually happen where a 7-5 group of 5 or conference champion gets in and that's just wrong

Personally, I believe they should make 6 maybe 8 team playoffs and leave it alone like forever. The more teams they add the more they weaken the playoffs and college FB itself bc teams will feel they can afford to lose a couple to 3-4 games and still be considered as a playoff team. If they weaken it, and they will with more playoff team they add, the more fans will start losing interest in college FB itself bc it is very hard to see a 3-4 loss team as a champion that only plays 12 regular season games to begin with!!!

Not a fan of increasing playoff format past the 12 team mark but it doesn't matter what I like or don't like. What will eventually rule will be money. As non playoff teams participate in bowl games and with top players deciding not to play the attendance and viewership will continue to dwindle. Corporate Sponsors will not like this and bowl games will continue to disappear. There will always be the need and greed to figure out how to capture more money.

He’s wrong about elite QB play. Ewers is a turnover machine. We do have an elite QB, but he’s standing on the sidelines because Sark wants to stick with his guns.

See you in Austin!
Finally, we get to play t.u. This will be a tough game, but the Tigers can win it. All we need is a complete game for 4 Quarters!
Our OC and DC better call a great game. They almost lost it against SMU in the second half!!
Go Tigers, Whoop the Horns!!
Nolan Ryan steaks and Lone Star beer after the game to celebrate!

Doesn’t seem too bad for Ewers…9? Low yards so must have a good running game…regardless, they’re top 5 team so pretty #### good all around…2 extremely close games w Ga…pretty solid wins most of the rest…I’d say we need to bring our A+ game all 4 qtrs and figure how to pressure qb without gassing our D line so bad they just quit rushing in the fourth q. Run stopping is good but the later it gets the more dangerous qb and any run option becomes for us… def need to keep 47 in the game (no targeting calls dude!!)
Go tigers!!!

I really don't like that part.
Isn't that Ohio State's thing?

They have a banner for it.
Just doesn't seem to suit us. I liked it more when Clemson was welcoming, & it's just not us against the world is all.
