There are a limited number of ways to enjoy this season, since 'Bama is going to win out in a walk, but seeing Ohio State and Urban Meyer ranked #2 and lose to Purdue by 4 touchdowns makes me very happy.

Old Dominion v Western Kentucky.
Last play of the game (game tied) - WKU incomplete pass but there's roughing the passer.
Last play of the game (game tied) - WKU trys long field goal but it's short. But Old Dominion has 12 men on the field.
Last play of the game (game tied) - WKU trys another long field goal but it's short. Old Dominion returns the field goal down the to 15 yard line. But WKU is called for facemasking on the return.
Last play of the game (game tied) Old Dominion wins on short field goal.

That wku/od ending is pretty wacky.
Pass stats in college are often big numbers but Tua is 107-152 for 2066 yards, 27 Tds and Zero interceptions.QB rating is 238.8. Tecmo bowl!

It's interesting to me how bored everyone is with Alabama (except their loyal fans), at least until they play another top 3 team. Who but fans wants to watch one blowout after another against overmatched teams?

de facto SEC semifinals this weekend: LSU/Bama, UGA/UK.
my predictions: UGA wins in a close call and Bama beats LSU by double digits, but Tua throws his first pick and takes his first 4Q snaps of the season

When Alabama solidly squashes LSU on Saturday the only interesting thing about it will be how the masterminds on the playoff-ranking committee rank LSU afterward.

Got to say, watching UK and Georgia - the Bulldogs are a bigger and faster group of players. Kentucky gave up a couple of big plays that was their big downfall.
Flipping around, I happened to catch Air Force and Army was starting on the CBS sports channel. You want to go in a time machine and watch old style football, that is a came for you. Lots and lots of fullback dive plays being run. Army drove down and scored to start the game on a 12.55 drive!!! Very fun.

I've seen parts of games on most of the Big10 and SEC clubs - none of them are going to be able to hang with Alabama unless they fumble the game away.
Michigan's defense is pretty good, but I think the results would be exactly like what happened to LSU. OSU losing Boza and getting a bit knicked up in other places knocks them down a notch. They might be able to cover a spread against Alabama, but they make too many mistakes to make it close.
Alabama has too much defense to allow a team to run the ball and control the clock and the clubs that might have enough flash on offense to hang with them on that side couldn't stop anything (Big12 or PAC10 best teams).
Georgia doesn't look as good as last year and the talking heads don't think Clemson are as good this year but they seem to be the only two clubs close to the Tide.

Clemson didn't score very many points when Julian Love was on the field. It was probably the worst player for us to lose in that game. It is true that we didn't have the luxury to replace a draft pick suspended for doping with another, just later-projected, draft pick. Depth will always be a weakness for us, and the best teams have it.
We also had some pretty iffy calls go against us. The kickoff fumble recovery that was overturned for being out of bounds and the "incomplete" pass during our last gasp drive looked pretty bad on the jumbotron.
Chip Long had a terrible game, though. I don't know what to think of that guy anymore.

Ohio State lost by more points to Purdue than ND did to Clemson. Georgia lost twice. The playoff committee's choices clearly give weight to the regular season games.

The kickoff fumble recovery that was overturned for being out of bounds
Yep, the nose of that football was over the white, so it was Clemson's ball. Sorry.
I didn't see the incomplete pass because I'd stopped watching closely by then.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 December 2018 21:47 (five years ago) link
Yeah, the high contrast sideline took that fumble away from ND, because about a half inch of the ball crossed the line and it stood out boldly against the white. As no one says, it's a game of half inches.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 31 December 2018 22:43 (five years ago) link
