Let's get it started !
Oklahoma 17 Alabama 0 mid 2nd
17-10 two minute gummy break
Pick 6 & tied & 21 exciting game i
Alabama got dominated in that first half!
Very lucky to be tied 17-17.
Alabama has -3 yards rushing and just 100 yds of total offense.......just 4 first downs.

Yep , but now the Tide has turned
The Sooners just seemed to fall apart in this one!.... Kept making mistakes!.... ND beats both of these teams....
Alabama vs. #1 Indiana in the Rose Bowl/CFP 2nd round. VERY excited for that game. Have to root for the Hoosiers as both the historical (if not current) underdog, and also Rolijah Hardy!

Indiana wins
Now that Tulane is a College Football Powerhouse they need to develop their Marching Band.
They only have a 100 member Band...... and they only play at home games.
It's the next step!!

Agreed. Indiana'a key to winning the whole thing is avoiding OSU. I don't think they can win a rematch. But, I like them over everyone else. (As I say that, having to beat Oregon again would also be tough)

I think OSU is the team that can beat them in a rematch. The rest of the field isn't beating them IMO
A review of Miami's resume reveals it is very, very weak. They are in the playoffs on name and weak schedule only.
It's amazing how weak the playoff fields have been in these first two years. Mostly because of the two auto-qualifiers, but also some weak selections otherwise.

Miami and A&M are looking like similar level teams.
Carson Beck is awful
An exciting terribly played game -NOT
This games gonna end on a 2 point conversion IMO
Let's hope the kicker doesn't miss again. Miami deserves this game.
Quote from: Steeler01 on Dec 20, 2025, 09:20 AMThere's nobody that missed the playoffs that would win it.
True. I just think 12 teams is too many for a playoff. And there are teams who could've done damage by winning a game or two that were left out.

Maybe 11-10 TAMU? haha
How about that 2022/23 American Heritage offense. Mark Fletcher, Malachi Toney and Brandon Innis all on the same offense :o
In the end, it was the SEC that didn't deserve 4 bids.
The sideline reporter who just interviewed Cristobal is a smokeshow.

You can say that. But then you'd have to ask 'What would the record be for a team who lost to SMU and at home to Louisville and has only one win vs a current top 25 team if they played an SEC schedule?"
With the mega conferences leading to schedules more difficult than ever before seen in college football, outstanding teams can have multiple losses. If placed favorably in the schedule, with home field, Florida could absolutely beat Miami. Florida finished 12th in the SEC. If Miami had to play any of the top 12 SEC teams on the road, any of those games could be a loss. If Miami ended up 8-4, instead of 10-2, they don't make the playoff...

A&M schedule was awful. They played two ranked teams.
Notre Dame
Texas
South Carolina
Arkansas
Utah State
UTSA
Auburn
Mississippi State
Florida
Missouri
Samford
I think Miami can navigate that schedule probably undefeated. A&M had one ranked win.

1) schedules within the two mega conferences vary wildly in degree of difficulty
2) being able to beat all the teams on the schedule- even being outright better than all the teams on your schedule- rarely translates to 0-1 losses. Mater Dei, St. John Bosco, Santa Margarita, Bishop Gorman all were capable of beating all the teams on their schedules. None of them made it through undefeated, and the first three all had multiple losses. There's a cumulative effect on teams when almost every week features an opponent who's really good and really desperate to beat you. It's when a team has an off-week-due to breaks, preparation, fatigue, injuries etc- that they take losses.

The team's you mentioned all played top teams, which were each other.
In this scenario, we know who A&M played(Not Georgia, not Alabama, Not Oklahoma etc), and their schedule sucked because of it.

Tennessee was 1 of the 12 best teams last year and they got absolutely smashed in the first round........ even uglier than Tulane when you look at the stats.
Tulane moved the ball well enough in this game to put up at least 24 or 27 points. It didn't happen for them though.
Your theory doesn't hold water.

A school like Tulane has no business in the playoffs. Give them some irrelevant bowl and make them happy playing a team that doesn't care and their win.
Tulane was 0-4 on fourth down.
That was the killer.
Terrible play calling!
Anyways, Tulane averaged almost 6 yards per play. Most teams will take that everyday.
Anyways, it's not like Tulane was going to win the national championship.

HA!.... Yes, only in his head does a team that lost by 25 "Get Smashed Worse" then a team that lost by 31.... I mean, if I remember right, Tennessee was down like 21-10 at the half so it was actually a game, where Tulane got blown out the minute they stepped off the bus.... 🤣
The Bottom line is Tulane got Boatraced in the regular season by Ole Miss and JMU lost to Louisville.... That should have disqualified both those lower level Conference Champions from the Playoff period....
I will say this now.... I am a big Oregon fan but they are not beating Texas Tech.... Oregon's defense is embarrassing themselves in the second half of this game.... Just sloppy.... No pass rush, terrible linebackers and their DB's just stink and are getting beat all over the place.... Lambing has to be furious right now.... 🤣

That's cute. Donald Trump would be very proud of you!
The facts of the matter?
The College Football Playoffs used to be just 4 teams........ even if you consider Tulane and JMU jokes you still had 6 more teams in the College Football Playoffs.
Had Tulane and JMU not made the Playoffs 2 other teams would have made the Playoffs resulting in many more people crying and embarrassing themselves because their team didn't make it.

By far and away fewer major recruits or NFL prospects than anyone in the Final Four, while simultaenously outperforming every other team in the country and most by far. NIL and unlimited transferring has to be playing a role, but obviously not because they simply got better players/parts.
