I think the College Football Playoff discussion and build up is much more exciting than the actual games.

Georgia and Alabama are clearly the two most talented teams in college football.  I think Georgia is the most talented but they play too conservative against Alabama.

They need to expand the playoff and lessen the time between the end of the regular season and the start of the playoff

Most definitely. College football is great, but the ending to the season doesn't match. And the conferences are leaving a ton of money on the table managing it this way.

Actually my understanding that its the Pac 12 that is more interested in that these days.

Jim Delany is on the board of the Rose Bowl or an advisor in some capacity

I'll be curious to see if the new PAC-12 commish is able to help make the league more competitive in the football landscape.

Notre Dame has now lost *11* consecutive Bowl Coalition/BCS/CFP/NY6 bowls. But on the plus side this was their first one-score loss in one of these games since the 1996 Orange Bowl

ND was horrific in the second half.  If OSU could have held onto the ball on ND's side of the field, ND would have probably lost by 20 after being up 28-7

Great year for Arkansas. Nice win over Penn State in the Outback Bowl.

Kentucky and Iowa was a great finish in the Citrus Bowl.

Thought that streak was coming to an end up 28-7!

A good showcase why OSU QBs have trouble in the NFL. It's easy throwing to wide open receivers. It's hard to throw against NFL DBs.

OSU is missing 2 probable 1st round receivers. The next 2 guys may be better.

Not sure this game supports your statement. His throws have been pretty amazing.

Why is Utah not using their timeouts?

He had a very good game. I like him better than any OSU QB in recent memory. Accuracy and pocket presence.

The problem is that there is no need to read defenses when throwing to multiple NFL- type receivers every game. It's a reason why Fields breaks down if his 1st option isn't open.

If Utah was gonna play like it out like that.

-awful kickoff attempt

-not using time outs


Why didn't they just go for 2...not that it woulda mattered.

Seemed like they just wanted to go home

Not sure why Utah didn't use TOs, not sure why they didn't let OSU score, not sure why their KR didn't go down before clock expired. Fun game but everyone knew the outcome when tOSU had 2 minutes left. 346 receiving yards is insane.

Agreed.

Stroud still had some absolutely mental throws. Shoulda been picked a second time in the 3rd when he lobbed a ball into end zone at 3 defenders.

But he definitely seems like the best pure passer of any OSU QB. That last TD was a complete dime.

When facing NFL Ds he's gonna have to do more 2nd and 3rd reads and be smart. But pure talent is definitely NFL top tier worthy.
