He should be in concussion protocol.. Looks like they let him back in the game. Bad decision placing the game ahead of his health.

Guess I wasn’t paying attention when that happened. But like you said, he came back into the game a short time later. I think he slid under most of that hit. Can’t see him missing the game next week.

Ya, if FSU handles Louisville handily they're in. I. GA/Bama SEC winner is in, PAC Champs or B12 Champs WA/OR/TX depends on the eye test who looks best in their conference title game performance. . OK State ain't getting in. Louisville ain't getting in. Real dark horse is Iowa. What if they beat Michigan, who gets in??

IMO, in addition to winning the big 12, Texas needs Bama to beat GA to have a chance of going to the playoffs. Oregon would also need to beat WA and mental gymnastics for TX to wiggle in there.

If Iowa beats Michigan all bets are off.. That cascades down to all of the B1G being out.. Louisville beating FSU definitely opens up a spot as well.
IF there is a spot open for a one loss team.. that boils down to A) that one loss winning the conference championship.. and B if there are still more than one in that category, whichever one looked BEST in their final game doing it. If Oregon blows out Washington and TX barely beats Ok State.. or if TX blows out OK State but OR BARELY beats Washington. It will be the final game eye test to determine which one gets in..

As a life long die hard Iowa fan, there is -0% chance of it even being a close game. Blood bath worse than the 2021 Iowa Mich championship.

Michigan is in the playoffs.

I think if Oregon wins they should have the edge on Texas, but who knows.

If BAMA beats GA, is GA out of the playoffs?

Wasn't it just a year or two ago something like that happened and they both got in anyway? Iowa or Louisville winning causes the most chaos for other one loss teams hoping to sneak in. Can't wait until next year when ALL 5 power conference (or 4 if PAC folds) champions are in along with 7 other top ranked teams. It's all down to who is undefeated.. and how good/bad did the remaining one loss teams look during their title game? The latter part will be what matters most for TX/OR/AL IMHO.

If BAMA beats GA they should absolutely be in. I think that makes TX,'s argument stronger as well, assuming they win the Big12. Louisville bouncing FSU would be chaos.

Ducks open 7.5 favorites over the dawgs.

**Toadman** · 11-26-2023, 05:15 PM

I would like to see all the underdawgs win and really mess things up.

Coaching Carousel Season has begun. Elko out of Duke and off to eTAMe. Lebby off to Mississippi State (probably taking Dillon Gabriel with him). I'm good with that. Oklahoma needs a better ground game going forward.

I feel sorry for Gabriel. If it wasn’t for those two losses to Kansas and OSU, he’d be sitting pretty in the NFL draft. As it stands now, though, there’s a chance he wouldn’t get drafted at all, or maybe very late. So, yeah, he needs another year, if only to collect more NIL money.

But the first year at Mississippi State will probably be a rebuilding year. Can’t see it helping his NFL draft stock all that much, but who knows until it happens, of course.

He’d probably do better if he could somehow keep his QB1 job at OU next year. But the signs seem clear that’s an unlikely option for him. Everyone is ready for the Jackson Arnold era to start.

On a similar note, I wonder where Maalik Murphy will end up?

**billyk** · 12-01-2023, 09:49 AM

^^ After writing that, I read some article by a west coast sportswriter lamenting the fact that Dillon Gabriel chose OU over UCLA. Maybe sending out a feeler before the transfer portal opens? Who knows, maybe Dillon has a future home other than Miss St or OU.

**SumJongGuy** · 12-01-2023, 05:59 PM

Can't decide if I want the best of the best undefeated PAC team going to the dance or if I want more chaos arguing about one loss teams hahahahaha.

**Northway** · 12-01-2023, 06:37 PM

Here we go, win and you’re in.

Huskies have been doing what they need to do to win every game. Ducks have been dominant recently. Which trend continues tonight?

**::: :::** · 12-01-2023, 07:35 PM

I don’t understand ranking differential vs betting differential
Udub is #3; UO is #5
But dux are 9pt favorite?
How’s that work? Wouldn’t that suggest a different rank?
