Conf Champ Weekend

[djsimp]

Is anyone even watching? I mean, who cares right? I am curious as the results of the Big12 b/w the Sooners and Cowboys. All the talking heads seem to thing Auburn will play one of these two in the Sugar Bowl. Outside of that, it all looks boring.

The big 12 should not be allowed to play on conference championship Saturday until they have a conference championship game. The regular season was over last week for the conferences who matter.

[chityeah]

Not really watching. Doing some painting and going through old clothes I can't wear. I'll have the games on listening but only for noise. By the way who needs clothes? Got a bunch of 38w-32l dress pants for the needy liberals here that like freebies.  Looks like I'm staying at 32.

So bama steam rolls the Gatahs as predicted.

BUT.....For the 3rd straight game there has been questionable play calling in the 1st half leading to some bad football on offense and the worst 4 year kicker in the history of college continued to solidify his collegiate lore. 

13-0 is nice but very deceiving.  Minus the most opportunistic defense I've ever seen in Tuscaloosa this is a 2 loss season.

I think everybody and their brother knew bama would win. I was surprised the Gatahs actually scored a TD.

[djsimp]

So the Sooner win. Does that mean Auburn plays Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl? I assume that is correct.

Yeah, the defense was definitely as opportunistic as any I've ever seen.  Otherwise, I don't buy the 2 loss take.  Only seriously challenged once the entire season in the Ole Miss game.  LSU?  Meh.  They couldn't score.  Otherwise, every game was a cake walk.  Just too many athletes at every position. Hell, even the punt returner, Diggs, looks like Usain Bolt.

I will be interested to see how they match up out of conference now.  If the playoff positions hold as they are now, Bama should get Washington in Atlanta.  I'm a bigger believer in the Huskies than most.  They've got serious size and speed.  I wouldn't begin to claim UW would beat Bama, but that would be a damn fun game to watch.

A match up against a traditional power like that in the Sugar Bowl would be awesome.  However, I wish they were playing more like they were early on.  They've been punkin' a bitch lately.

It will be awesome as long as SW is the starter and the Baylor transfer signs with Auburn just before that. If we are 100% healthy, we can win that game. If not, I'm not watching more twirlybird bs.

[djsimp]

Anyone watching the Wisconsin/Penn State game?
I turned it over and seen the Badgers up by 14. I can't really help it. I want Penn to win.

I think the west coast offense style of quick passes is the best way to beat Alabama.  Quick slants and an occasional deep ball. You can't beat them runnning, I honestly don't think anyone in the country can beat them running. But quick passes causes disruption and secondary is a weakness. A converted linebacker is starting at safety. Washington poses problems for sure. Probably moreso than anyone else.

Sorry, Pac10 will not beat SEC in the NC

[djsimp]

Nittany Lions are done. Hokies might have a chance. Could be a perfect storm for the Big 10...ish.

[GH2001]

Nope.

Clemson is built the best to beat them. Good d. Dual threat qb. Good wrs

[djsimp]

Holy shit, Penn is back in it and now the Hokies are up against it.

Agree to disagree.  Saban has spent 6 years building a defense that can defend a dual threat QB.  If Clemson was going to do it, they would have done it last year.  They can't do it.  I don't think Ohio State can do it.  The only team that I think can beat Alabama's defense is a team with a QB who can get rid of the ball quick.  Ole Miss has a good QB and they nearly did it.  I think Washington is the best passing team in the playoff hunt and I think they are the only ones who can drop back and get rid of the ball to beat the pass rush.

See, that's all they got against bama. That will only work the 1st have before he is seriously punished. PAC 10 can not defend against the SEC. Auburn could beat Washington.

So Penn St wins, how in the HELL are they not in the top 4? They beat OSU and win theor conference.

I'm guessing it has something to do with their 2 losses.
