NCAAF 2018 FINAL PLAYOFF DISCUSSION - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Sugar Bowl is SEC v Big12

So its likely going to be

Georgia v Texas
OSU v Washington
Florida v UCF
LSU v Michigan

Penn st gets screwed by the Sugar Bowl affiliation...and has to play UK in the Citrus Bowl

Bring it on!

Yeah it’ll be Bama Clemson ND Oklahoma

I’d rather ND be 4 bc would be fun to crush them

Should be Bama UGA Clemson Oklahoma for 4 best teams but I’m glad we won’t have to play UGA again

Is there a chance Michigan can play Florida? Our program needs an autowin so bad.

But you better believe Kentucky is excited to be playing Penn St. Look Vegas had our o/u at the start of the year at 5.5. To be playing Penn St New Year's day is huge for us.

I don't care at all if your fan base is "meh". I kind of even expect that.

yeah yeah act like you've been there before...but...

This Kentucky team

— won 9 games for first time since 1977

— had a winning SEC record for first time since 1984

— Ended the never-ending Florida streak

— Produced the All-Time Sack and (likely) Rushing Leader

— will go to best Bowl of my lifetime

Bring on the citrus bowl vs Penn St

Uga just got its chance in a playoff game to beat bama and blew it despite being given multiple opportunities to win. Doubt it will be easier with a month of game planning by bama in a less home field than atl. Give some other teams a chance. I wish all the conference championships were as legit as the sec. we need some realignment so we don’t get NW-osu or wisky-osu every ****ing year.

UGA’s performance against Bama is a better resume enhancer than ND beating USC in a close game.

Would feel the same if Alabama lost and I am an Alabama fan. It's an imperfect system and the world need ditch diggers too. Don't lose your biggest game of the season.

More of a missed throw, really. I don't know if the receiver was even able to make contact with the ball--if he did, wow, amazing effort! Guys drop passes all the time but NOBODY misses a wide open receiver 20 feet in front of them like that.

An X-post since the “put UGA in at 2 losses” talk is asinine.

-Getting blown out by LSU

-An OOC schedule that includes Middle Tennessee, Austin Peay, and UMASS

The unforgivable above would have actually been forgiven had UGA not played not to lose in the 2nd half, had gone for it on 4th down when it made sense, and avoided a disastrous fake punt when it clearly didn’t.

Will they choose that? Who knows!

This top 4 is correct. It's settled.
