Stoney Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 1. Alabama 2. Clemson 3. Ohio State 4. Notre Dame I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think Texas A&M can overcome Notre Dame. Blowout loss or no blowout loss, the NCAA loves them some Notre Dame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Notre Dame should have dropped out .... after getting dominated, they got woodshedded .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 My thoughts are ND had their chance to validate themselves and didnt. Everyone was saying their win vs clemson the first time was essentially bs because of the players missing for clemson. ND had their chance to prove that wrong and didnt. The recent loss coupled with how they loss is enough for me to think A&M should get the nod. What I think 1. Bama 2. Clemson 3. Ohio st 4. A&M What will happen 1 Bama 2. Clemson 3. Ohio st 4.

I’d watch a rematch of 1v8. Clemson Cincinnati would show real quick how a non Power 5 school matches up. 2v7 Ohio State Oklahoma would answer a lot of questions about both teams. 3v6 Notre Dame Texas A&M. Who’s a contender and who’s a pretender. 4v5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense to reward the lower teams more than the higher teams. Better matchups. At this point in a season the top 3-4 teams are typically close enough. This is to make the matchups as good as you can instead awarding the #1 team the easiest game. The fans deserve good games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 This is what I think the committee will do. 1. Alabama 2. Clemson 3. Ohio State 4. Notre Dame. A&M lost by 28 to the #1 team. Notre Dame lost by 24 points to the #2 team. That’s a wash to me. A&M’s best win a win over a three loss Florida team at home by 3. A&M’s second best win is against a team that performed so badly they fired their coach in a pandemic. Notre Dame has the win against short handed Clemson in overtime at home plus the win against a top 15 team (NC) on the road by 14 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Alabama Clemson Ohio St Cincinnati In reality 3 and 4 don’t matter. Alabama is the best offensive team and Clemson has the best defense. Ohio St would keep it close vs Clemson but I think Bama beats them by 3 scores. Notre Dame doesn’t have the athletes to compete with 1&2. ATM doesn’t have the QB or the secondary. Cincinnati probably doesn’t have the athletes to play with 1&2 either but 2020 is a good year to show the G5 doesn’t belong. We could just skip the playoff this year and watch Bama vs Clemson.

DAWG91 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Can't think of a single other sport that begins it's playoffs in the semifinals. Totally stupid (but better than nothing.) Not surprised they screwed the Aggies. As others have said, they love them some ND. Maybe one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) It's a sad state of affairs when a freakin biased committee decides who makes their "the fix is in" 4 team invitational tournament ....

Valhalla Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I am interested to see what the bowl games look like without such a long lay off in between games. It’s almost just like a normal game week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
