The College Football Playoff bracket is revealed
From undefeated seasons on the line, to top ten matchups, this should be another entertaining four weeks of college football action.
This and more is what the College Football Playoff selection committee sorts through to pick the four best teams in the country. This should be a well contested matchup if both teams show up to play. You will also get my take on that as well.
Alabama will face Washington in one semifinal and Clemson meets Ohio State in the other. It was the 1986 Sun Bowl. He has been a member of the Vol Network staff for 30 years. The Wolverines should get a chance to play for a national championship. Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 11 of 20 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown.
“I think because of Washington’s strength of schedule, their margin for error was very slim”, Hocutt said. His name is Jake Browning.
While there have been some ups and downs, Barrett has still put together a solid season for the Buckeyes in 2016. Bama has a great secondary and they can get the Job done. They lost two games, Washington lost one.
Things the Badgers can’t control they were in fact punished for.
Let’s get it to eight and see if that works. Deshaun Watson almost led the Tigers past the Tide in last year’s title game and although ‘Bama’s defense is strong, they have yet to face a quarterback as multi-dimensional as Watson. The 12-win Huskies earned their spot with a 41-10 rout over Colorado in the Pac-12 Championship Game. “I think we certainly are one of the best teams in the country, but I think there’s some great teams out there”. Keep an eye on Ohio State freshman Nick Bosa and Clemson senior Ben Boulware – both make plays all over the field. Not a bad way to usher in the New Year. Penn State shouldn’t be in the playoff ahead of Washington, it should be in ahead of Ohio State. This is what needs to happen for Clemson to win this game.
As days in Mountaineer athletic history go, it will be pretty darned hard to beat December 3, 2016. “We’re going to do the best we can to represent”.
No. 2 Clemson, again no surprise, clinched the Atlantic Coast Conference title Saturday.
We can’t ignore wins in Penn State’s case. Mike Williams is Watson’s favorite target with 79 catches for 1,114 yards and 10 touchdowns. That’s no easy task in itself.
Ohio State is the only non-conference champ in the final four.
Penn State escaped with an improbable victory after being down big early on against Wisconsin.
Not much to brag about there. If Oklahoma had scheduled Podunk University instead of Ohio State, the Sooners would have been in contention in the final week and they might be in the playoff now. Suddenly that 13th game that was so critical to Baylor and TCU – so much so that it prompted the Big 12 to add a championship game – didn’t mean anything. They had an embarrassing loss to MI, but the Wolverines lost to Iowa.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he empathizes with Penn State and would not mind seeing a system that rewards all conference champions. Alabama is seeking also for a historic 15-0 record which will be the first major college team to reach since Penn state in 1897.
“We’re so young”, Meyer said.
After three years of watching it play out, including the most recent rankings on Sunday, I’m not so sure I don’t want to go back to the BCS days. Well he said it himself Franklin feels good about the program going forward.
But, he added Sunday, 99 percent of his players are excited and happy for the chance to play Southern California in the Rose Bowl on January 2 in Pasadena, Calif. This is all true, but Penn State won the football game. But mark my words when I say this. Don’t tell us conference championship games matter.
