CFP -- $EC
And just like that the $EC is out of the playoffs.
Michigan took care of Alabama.
Washington took care of Texas.

RE: CFP -- $EC
Washington almost came unglued there at the end. I don't know much about playcalling....but there must be a better way to run time off the clock for the win than give the ball back to Texas. It kinda sucked . Then the Huskie got hurt --which added 30 secs to the game clock and then the Huskie guy ran into the guy who called for a fair catch...and then i left the building.
lol

Good point. Didn't even think about that.

I started to think about it last night but I figured someone else would do it for me.

i can't believe ESPN apologized for showing a woman with a tiddy exposed. Guessing they assumed her gender which should send some groups off the deep end.

RE: CFP -- $EC
More and more people will do anything for attention these days. This faction of humans is growing. Or maybe Having a retail store on Main Street in a tourist town makes me a sitting duck.
Speaking of which, the ducks creamed liberty. People underestimated them. They were angry ducks.

I'm convinced Georgia is better than Washington or Texas.

Georgia couldn't do what they needed to do and beat Bama.
Texas beat Bama, as did Michigan.

RE: CFP -- $EC
I’m pretty much convinced Michigan’s coach is better than Washington’s
But Washington is a more fun team to watch…. I like their players

Everyone knows that is not how football really works. Just because Texas beat bama does not mean Georgia would not crush Texas and Washington if they had made the playoff.
Georgia was out becuase their loss came last instead of early.
You put Georgia on the field with Texas and Washington in January and the likely win.

I mean, sure the transitive property does not work in sports. But I think it's probably more substantial than just flat out saying one team would crush another based on nothing.
The computers tend to agree that Georgia is better than - Texas, Washington, and Bama. The problem, like I said earlier, is that Georgia didn't win their conference and the others did. With a 4-team invitational, games matter.
So who would be favored is different from who is deserving.

I never argued who was deserving, I just argued that I think Georgia is the better team and beats them if you put them on the field in January.
If they played them both I suspect one game is a blowout and the other is tight. I suspect Washington might be able to give them the tighter game because of their QB.
