Not to mention that LSU and possibly Auburn may have something to say about Alabama's playoff hopes.

I wouldn't say Auburn, but more so LSU. Their QB play isn't ideal, but Harris has had 250+ in two straight games, and he's not turning the football over either. Should be a great game in two weeks.

Pardon my ignorance, but why don't they have their own stadium?

Private school with a small alumni base makes it cost effective to share with the Dolphins and there's no room on campus.

There's been talk of them sharing a smaller stadium with the new MLS team. I'd be all for that. At least the crowd shots would be less embarrassing.

I know Golden should've been fired but does Miami think that they are a top flight program still? The artist formerly known as The U is just a plain U.

The program? Nope. "Fans" who still worship the 80s thug attitude and at most attended MDC if they even graduated high school? Yeah.

There are fans out there today convinced they're either gonna land Gruden of Chip Kelly because Miami has the money. Despite the fact that Miami hired Golden and that was likely their high end of being able to pay.

I sure do love how the PAC 12 is so evenly matched top to bottom, but it's going to absolutely KILL their chances at getting a playoff team.

I'm pretty much convinced that if you put a handful of those teams in either the ACC or the B1G, they'd run the table. What a bummer that whoever is going to come out of that gauntelt on top is probably going to be regulated to the lesser bowls.

I'm happy we have a playoff system in place, but the PAC 12 this season is a pretty solid example of why it needs to be expanded IMO.

The playoff doesn't need to be expanded. The playoff committee just needs to focus more on the strength of schedule/quality opponent stuff. The Pac 12 champ will be far more deserving of a playoff bid than either the ACC or Big XII champs. Hopefully, the committee will figure that out.

Also, Ohio State curb stomps last year's SEC and Pac 12 champs and we're still knocking the B1G? B)

Are we going to pretend the rest of the B1G sans MSU was good last year?

Ohio State curb stomped Alabama and Oregon, Michigan State beat Baylor, Wisconsin beat Auburn, and the B1G had the most Bowl wins over ranked opponents last season. Let's stop pretending it's still 2007.

It's bowl season, anything can happen. During the actual season, the conference didn't win any of it's marquee matchups and lost to opponents they shouldn't have. The conference was bad last season, the fact that they happened to win in meaningless games doesn't negate that.

Also can we take some time to appreciate that fact that we live in a world where Colleg Gameday is going to Temple? That seems special to me.

College Game Day is going to be in Philadelphia, where nobody cares about local college football (or much college football at all.)

The Linc is sold out, but it'll be all ND fans. The broadcast will be from Independence Hall, which might be cool to see.

I beg to differ.

Well to be fair, Mizzouri is obligated to struggle with at least one team a year that isn't even going to a bowl game. That's just the contract they signed when creating their football program. :rolleyes:

And I'd say it was more the national championships than just the bowl victories that made their reputation the way it is. You can win all the bowls you want, if you have no titles it means nothing.

In what universe is a 7 point victory over a Lane Kiffin run offense a curb stomping?
