None of us deserve overtime in this game, but my worry is that the ACC does

DOWN GOES OHIO STATE

Will Steve Spurrier be happy for Duke or irked that he is no longer the last coach to win a title for them?

I would question the decision to call the timeouts now, but it's best not to contradict a clock-management expert like Ryan Day when he is in his element

If you go for the FG there, you deserve to miss

OHIO STATE MISSES THE FIELD GOAL. INDIANA'S LEAD HOLDS

"I felt a great disturbance in the force. As if millions of ACC executives suddenly cried out in terror."

The notion that we could predict and manage the knock-on effects of a playoff was always a fantasy. But we went ahead and grew it anyway

INDIANA HAS THE LEAD

It is good that teams can win their way into the playoff in the conference championship games. But it cannot be a one-way ratchet. If it can help you, it can hurt you. Just like every other game. If you don't want to risk losing, don't play football

Counterpoint: Clemson would not have been in the playoff last year if it were not for the conference championship. There are really only risks if you're in the 6-12 neighborhood. And you can always avoid the issue by, um, winning

As they should. Otherwise, you have to consider early-season wins against Penn State as impressive

Yes, seed the playoff and allow rational actors to make their own decisions. Don't maneuver things because of the choices you believe they will make

(very quietly) i don't think the playoff committee's job should be to protect the sanctity of conference championship games or to influence non-conference scheduling i think they should just seed the playoff

This is the heat death of #goacc

It will not surprise you to know that Ryan Day is making eccentric choices right now

Thank you, ABC graphic for specifying that Georgia's third championship in the last five years were the most in the SEC. Basic mathematics would not tell you the same thing

It is not punishing a team for a conference championship game if they lose the game. It is acknowledging that they lost the game

To clarify: Do I think Alabama should face a potential drop from the rankings? Yes. But I thought the same thing about SMU last year and got shouted down

I'm sure Alabama would be ahead in this game is Kalen DeBoer had just screamed a couple of times

They're doing ANOTHER schedule special about the SEC next year?

Alabama/Notre Dame/Miami should be an interesting discussion, but we established last year that championship game losses shouldn't matter, and I am sure all those who pushed SMU last year will not change their views, as that would show it's always about people being tired of Alabama

Alabama is cooked

I am indifferent about Miami-Notre Dame except for the entertainment value of an ACC-less playoff, but the argument for Notre Dame is not "nOtRe DaMe'S lOsSeS aRe BeTtEr." It's that Miami's losses have to count as well. You can just look at the wins

I still think the committee should bypass the Miami-Notre Dame debate and give Kennesaw State the final playoff spot

"We're gonna need to sell more cookies"

And Texas Tech did not care

That was a "please don't hurt me" drive by BYU

College football playoff committee hopes of avoiding a supernova over Miami-Notre Dame now trails 21-7

If your answer to anything on college football is named "Briles," you have lost the thread

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

funniest thing the committee could do is flip miami ahead of notre dame after a byu win that knocks both of them out

I have never understood the pec-pumping DirecTV commercial and now I'm afraid to ask

Love the BYU guy on the sideline signaling first down with conviction when it was clearly not even close to a first down

That Ole Miss/AT&T transfer ad probably hits different than when they filmed it

Respectfully, I have been saying this for ten years. It is a ratings decision that harms the actual product. Committee members should take one vote at the end of the year. There is no need for anything more

Apparently, ACC Network is replaying Notre Dame vs. Miami right now

Good night, Mean Green

Again, indisputable evidence should include a working understanding of physics

WOW

You can't let that stand, can you?
