4. Arizona State

5. Texas

6. Penn State

7. Notre dame

8. Ohio State

9. Tennessee

10. Indiana

11. SMU

12. Clemson

Question: case for Alabama? Why didn’t the committee go down this road?


6 conference championship games

1. Army Beats Tulane: 35-14: is there a case for Army to have made the playoff?

2. Boise State beats UNLV: 21-7: Looking at this game I anticipated a Boise State win. I did not anticipate UNLV only scoring seven.

3. Arizona State beats Iowa State: 45-19- Iowa State got off to a good start but then just completely got trampled by Arizona State Russell game. I think Arizona State wanted to make a statement though that they need to be the force it and they certainly did

4. Georgia beats Texas 22-19 in overtime- Texas defense dominated in the first half. But also Georgia’s defense was not half bad either. First half score 6-3. Texas was able to move the ball, it’s the red zone that got them. Also 2 missed field goals. After Carson beck goes down in the before the half, gunner Stockton comes in for the second half. He changed the pace of the game. Georgia dominated the 3rd quarter. 10-0. Texas got traction 4th quater out scoring Georgia 10-3, sending it to overtime.

5. Oregon beats Penn State 45-37- I truly thought the momentum was going towards Penn State about halfway through the third quarter, but Oregon had all of the momentum leading up to that point and pretty much the rest of the game for about 10 minutes on. Penn State just kept looking like they were going to figure out how to come back and then just defensively they could not hold off against that Oregon offense.

6. Clemson beat SMU- 34-31- Amanda Clemson just walked these guys in the very beginning of the game going up 21 points right off the bat but SMU slowly made that comeback tie in the game 31 to 31 of the end of it game. All the luck in the world Clemson managed to get into field goal range and win.


Heisman Finalists

Ashton Jeanty- 2497 yards.

Travis Hunter- snaps? 1152 yards receiving.

Cam Ward- 4123 yard, 36 TD’s QBR of 88 #1

Dillon Gabriel- 3558, 28 TD, QBR-86 #2


I think Kyle McCord got robbed. The stats on this guy were insane: 4326 yards passing, #1 , 29 TD’s. 4th , and yes he has 12 interceptions, but he led Syracuse to a respectable 9-3 season. Beating Miami, and Cam Ward on all fronts yet Cam Ward is there because of what? He plays for Miami?


Army Navy Game?

Both offenses are exceptional in the option run game.

Navy comes into their game the clear underdog having 3 losses. Army’s only loss is to Notre dame so this game will favor army, but it is a rivalry. Anything can happen.

Army beat Tulane while navy go blown out by Tulane.

Both teams struggled against Notre Dame

Army has rushed for 3773 yards on 661 attempts

Navy has rushed for 2721 yards on 506 attempts
