UH folks are certainly jazzed. I'll leave the cheap shots at the ACC out of the discussion until after this semifinal finishes up. Incidentally I am a Clemson fan for a day because I love seeing the Land Thieves lose.

Championship game is Monday, January 11: undefeated Clemson vs. ____________.

[ballcoach15]

Good to see Oklahoma lose. I thought the Sooners should not have been in playoffs . They not one of 4 best teams .

[Sly Fox]

If you thought Oklahoma had no business in the playoffs then what did you think of the Spartans? Talk about not showing up in prime time.

[ballcoach15]

Nick Saban had excellent game plan. I despise Big 10, but I thought MSU belonged more than the Okies.

Clemson is better than I was giving them credit for. Classless bunch but they are good.

Big XII fans have no business taking shots at the ACC....

[Sly Fox]

Clemson carried the banner very nicely. Florida State? Not so much. Herman can flat out coach.

[Purple Haize]

Alabama looks like they are on a mission. Clemson does appear to have a better offense than MSU but Alabama has a better defense than Oklahoma

[BJWilliams]

Name any of top 10 boxing championship fights pre-2000 and it would be a fair comparison to the Alabama-Clemson game in about 10 days. This is going to be a battle to be sure

[Cider Jim]

Pulling for the undefeated Tigers, who ironically, some would consider an underdog going against the mighty Crimson Tide.

[ballcoach15]

I think Alabama is a early 7 point favorite .

A lot of people think Alabama is not good team because of the Ole Miss lost.

Regardless of who wins, the 2 best teams are playing for national championship . unlike some seasons.

If Crimson Tide wins I will have some fun with some naysayers I know .

[lynchburgwildcats]

Just more proof that Stanford should have been in there. Surely they could have at least managed to score a single field goal which MSU couldn't do.

Playoffs should be 6 teams. Each Power 5 conference team gets an autobid, then the best team from the rest of the pack, which includes all non-P5 conference schools and schools that didn't win their conference championship.

No shame in losing to Sugar Bowl-bound Ole Miss. Good team and a GREAT school.

I think it's a foregone conclusion to go to this or even 8 teams. The only reticence is the elongated season.

[Purple Haize]

Stanford is making a case for it being next year

[ballcoach15]

Next season I would like to see 2 SEC teams, Acc champion and Baylor in playoffs .

[Purple Haize]

What if Baylor losses 3 games?

[ballcoach15]

I don't think Baylor loses 3 games .

[Purple Haize]

I don't think Baylor loses 3 games .

But if they even lost 2 you can't put them in the Final 4

[Cider Jim]

At the half, Ole Miss is leading 33-6 in the Sugar Bowl.

[olldflame]

Why would you want to have a 6 team field as opposed to 8? Either way you have added a week, and with 6 you need to come up with some sort of criteria to decide which 2 teams get a bye, which will never make everyone happy. Either stay at 4 or go to 8.

It's only fitting that WVU was playing in the Motel 6 Bowl.

Good one Cider Jim.

LU got a mention on ESPN radio this morning. They were talking about bowl games and Georgia State was mentioned, followed by a comment, "they lost to Liberty".
