Board 8 > Official College Football Playoff (and New Year's Day bowls) topic.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Today we get the Outback, Citrus, Peach, Rose, and Sugar Bowls.

I can't remember who LSU plays (probably means they are getting massacred)

The other games however are

USC Jr vs the overhype machine
LSU vs fodder
Auburn vs the best team in Florida
Georgia vs the Heissman
The rematch part 3

This could be the best single day of college football in a long long time

LSU play Notre Dame

LSU play Notre Dame

Troy's bitch vs Wisconsin's bitch's bitch....

Today on ABC!

Hoping for UCF, Clemson and Oklahoma wins as I have them in a 3 way bet. Got +2000 on them.

I think I'm probably one of very few people that actually thinks UCF will win

LSU got to the 1, failed to score, got a false start on 4th down, and missed a field goal.

Good job LSU.

I was certainly hoping!

Michigan what are you doing stop it

So, if that's not targeting, there is no targeting....

Definitely not the blatant hit on McSorley during the PSU/Washington game. It wasn't even a late hit apparently. Perfect clean hit to the head after a QB slide.
Also, yay PSU!

We may be talking about a different play.

I'm talking about the Auburn TD catch. Where he blasts the guy in the side of the head while he catches the TD.

That wasn't targeting

Direct helmet to helmet contact to a defenseless receiver?

Oh we are.
Just giving another awful example of a non call.

Also lol Michigan. The only big10 team that couldn't win. Fitting.

man, come on Michigan!

RIP my Michigan

Except it wasn't helmet to helmet? Like I don't know what to tell you if you think that was helmet to helmet. I'm trying to find a replay on Twitter without any luck

It looked to me he just brushed the face mask on the Auburn TD, but it would have been targeting with a more direct hit.

Oh shit these games are today! I totally forgot.

Go Oklahoma and Clemson

Team with their third-string quarterback in not winning? Gosh, imagine that!

The piledriver should have been an ejection or something as well.
---

Yeah I'm amazed there was no flag on that

Give Michigan football the death penalty I'm sick of this

I was rooting for them actually for the sake of the big 10. But the way that the last few minutes were coached was terrible.

The refs just 100% handed the game to UCF there....

Auburn should have gotten a free play on that offsides.... instead they made it first and 5, and his frustration at that bullshit boiled over the very next play on the pick 6.

the play is blown dead if there's contact before the snap

I thought it was unabated to the QB (so the defense can't kill him with impunity)

The players touched they always call that dead.

Or you could look at it as a makeup call for the piledriver. The refs didn't give this game away on that call.

Now that's targeting

So why doesn't the defense just make sure they touch someone everytime there is an offsides so they don't get the free play?

Because they can jump back onsides for a non call

Unlike Kentucky, Missouri, and Auburn.....

Notre Dame just beat LSU without the officials...

Holy shit that catch..

That catch was insane.

I meant once the flag was thrown.
Just run over someone with abandon at the line to get the play called dead.

Offside only counts without contact if you're still there at the snap. There wouldn't (or shouldn't) be a flag before the snap without contact.

I understand that.

What I'm saying is if you are in the neutral zone at snap and you see the flag.... why not truck someone so they stop the play after the snap?

So this drive....

Missed PI....
Missed BLATANT!!!! Late hit...

Because that'd be after the snap. Ya know, when contact is expected. Unless you're talking about committing another fowl, but it'd still be a live ball fowl.

Can someone explain to me what that throw was intending to do

Which led to the center getting hurt, no blocking, and the interception.

As sure as any game played in the non NFL (Patriots games only*) we just witnessed 7 zebras escort 11 to an undeserved win.

Like are you an Auburn fan or something? I don't know how you can say that is an undeserved win.

I think they messed up the route?

These were missed calls either way.
And there was a bad block in the back penalty against ucf on their last drive which killed their momentum causing a FG try and a miss.

No. Not at all, they're actually one of only 2 (3 with Mizzou now) SEC teams I actively hate....

Doesn't mean you can't see when someone is getting screwed hard.

The game was evenly called, there were missed calls in either direction. Nobody got screwed. The difference was the turnovers

Not all missed calls are equal....

The missed calls for UCF cost them 10
Yards before the drive when they were up 14.

The missed calls against Auburn cost them....
2 interceptions.
Their center.
A targeting and EJECTION...
A late hit personal foul that would have placed them at the 10 yard line.
A PI that would have given them 1st down at the 15 with a minute 30 left and the clock stopped for penalty.

THE GAME....

Also just to put it into perspective how big a turnaround that is from the UCF team

51 players on that team were part of the team that went 0-12 2 years ago.

That still wasn't targeting.

It absolutely was.
