That was a makeup call for the horse roughing call on the Packers a couple plays earlier, but your point remains.

Clown Ref show showed itself on the Chiefs final drive.  A terrible late hit call to protect Lord Mahomes put the refs in a bad spot. They knew they couldn't pick up that flag or it would make them look less competent. So what do the zebras do? Allow Green Bay to get away with blatant DPI which would've given KC the ball in the red zone. But wait, there's more! The refs finish a job well done by gifting the Pack another "Get our of DPI free" card on the final hail mary play. And against future HOFer Mr Pfizer, of all people!

Trash reffing, But the right team won.

I do not like those drab colors. They look better with royal blue and athletic gold. Those are St. Louis colors and should stay in St. Louis.

I get that. But if the LA Rams could MS Paint bucket royal and yellow into these unis

Can't the NFL do something about its clear and obvious officiating problem? We all have eyes and every close game can't keep on coming down to whether the officials get the calls right or not.

 

Can't there be a "common sense" third party that overturns really stupid penalties or adds pass interference when it's clearly happening?

 

EDIT: I'm not rooting for the Chiefs, but they should have had 1st and goal at the end there. That was horse:censored:.

Can we also talk about the hit on Mahomes that was called a late hit when he was still running with the ball inbounds?

If college ball can correct personal foul calls, then should should the NFL. Seeing way too much "unnecessary roughness" when it's 100% clean.

These are the ideal St Louis Rams uniforms. But for when the team is in Los Angeles, give me the classic royal blue/athletic gold look.

 

Ya but the navy helmet with royal unis

Yeah but WHITE SOCKS

Was waiting for this tweet. Knew we couldn't talk about how nice GB/KC looks without the obligatory sockjacking.

Say what you will, but this is the best Rams uniform this century.

And the further we get away from them, the more I kinda wish they'd come back em.

Hard to find a better looking Rams-Browns match-up:

That makes even less sense than what we got. I'll be so glad when we have a proper playoff next year. Arguing about which 2 and 3 loss teams deserve the 12 spot is significantly less integral to the credibility of a championship title.

With 12 teams, folks will still cry about who team #13 because that's college football fans do. But it's reassuring to know TEAMS WHO GO 13-0 IN A POWER 5 CONFERENCE WON'T BE LEFT OUT.

Right now, New England has the #2 pick.  If that holds, will they draft Marvin Harrison Jr.?  

Exactly. Belichick is great is building up WRs he drafts. Plus, he and Zappe can become the next Montana-to-Rice.

Can someone call the audio department? There's a bad echo in here.

You know I don't scroll when I'm rage posting.

Damn, I thought my take was pretty original too.

According to one article I just saw, it was Georgia, with Ohio State at 5.

Found on twitter. The BCS computer would sneak Ohio State in.

Just now, burgundy said:

we're still allowing personal opinions to decide a champion rather than the results on the field.

Who would the BCS computer have put into the playoffs? Do we still have someone who formulates this out there?

NFL fans complain when teams say that they have more titles because their team won them before the Super Bowl existed.

Huh? I'm not sure I've ever witnessed this.

I'm sooooo glad NCAA standards can’t ruin REAL football. Imagine had the 2017 Eagles been held out of the playoffs because of Carson Wentz's injury in the final weeks of the season. "They lost their MVP-caliber QB and have to use Nick Foles now. Hahaha they have no chance! Let's get Philly the hell out of these playoffs and plug in the Cowboys because we love blue-blood teams and people will watch!" -- That's what the NCAA just did.

Huh? Retribution for FSU winning the National Championship despite having lost head-to-head against an 11-1 Notre Dame, as well as being picked over a then-undefeated West Virginia to play for the title against Nebraska.

30 years was a long time ago. Get over it. NFL fans aren't still crying about losses that happened 30 years ago. I can assure you Raiders fans have gotten over the Immaculate reception happening on them. Probably the tuck rule too.

Bailey Zappe actually looked like a capable NFL quarterback today

Huh? The Patriots scored 0 points.

But ya, I hope the Pats use him for the next decade.

As a Notre Dame fan, this is retribution for the '93 season. Screw FSU.

Retribution for losing in a fair contest?

College fans and the entire process is insane. I blame Coach Prime for dragging me back to this back-assward, flawed joke of a sport.

Florida State will go and lose their meaningless bowl game (where star players sit out, assistant coaches are gone and players are disinterested) and everyone will say "Gahh the Committee was Right Roll tide!!!"

Had the committee guy just said "We really just wanted the Alabama brand in the playoff" I would've been fine with it. The honestly would've been refreshing.

I don't know college football all that well and I know I always show that ignorance by expecting logical outcomes based on performance on the field.

 

Actual wins counting less than good losses is the craziest thing about the sport.

The selection committee went out of their way to make sure Alabama got in over FSU. Not only what you mentioned, putting good losses on the same level as actual wins. But to have a built in loophole which states "you may punish teams if a star player is injured". That is insaneeee that is actually in their criteria handbook.

College football continuities to be an absolute shyteshow. Enjoy your sport and your playoff where wins and losses don't matter.

The Power 5 Champions:

ACC: 13-0

Big 10: 13-0

Big 12: 12-1

PAC-12: 13-0

SEC: 12-1

Simply removing team names helps demonstrate my point. You cannot leave any of the three 13-0 teams out. The final slot should and will come down to the Big 12 or SEC champion.

Guys. It's ok to leave Alabama out. America will be ok.

Let's be honest here. If record, stats, wins are the exact same as Alabama's, but the name on the front of the jersey was "Missouri" or "Kentucky", this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Just to help people who make NFL uniform concepts out, the Cowboys silver has a tint of blue in it unlike the Raiders silver.

Or here's an actual photo to help demonstrate.

FSU got taken to the wire by an injury depleted 5-win Florida team that was playing their own backup QB and would probably lose to Auburn.

FSU, going undefeated in a Power 5 conference, is a lock to get in. They are #3. There is no debate with them.

If there's a debate, it should be between Texas and Bama. Texas lost to a worse team, so you could argue that I guess.
