Gophers won 10 games and 7 Big Ten Games this year

but it still sucks that they aren't in Indy next week. 

Their easy schedule finally caught up with them...they beat a solid Penn St team but struggled against Iowa on the road and really got steamrolled by Bucky in the second half today.  Unfortunately for the winner, they get Ohio St next week and the Buckeyes look unstoppable at this point.

The Utah-Oklahoma debate is going to be a lively one, should things hold form.

So it seems like a pretty easy year for the playoff committee but if anyone could screw it up it would be these guys based on some of their rankings the past few weeks. Only real intrigue today seems to be is Ohio State #1 or is LSU? Pretty big decision too because I would much rather play Oklahoma than Clemson.

I don't think there is much debate, Its LSU with a bullet at #1.

Ohio State has 5 wins over current top 25 teams. 2 vs #8, and 1 each vs #10, #14, and #20. LSU has 4 wins 1 each over #4, #9, #11, and #12. I think I'd still have Ohio State #1 just based on what I've watched all year.

LSU is easily the #1.  Easily the best team from the best conference.  

Ohio State v. Clemson should be a fun time in the Semifinal.  LSU will probably stomp Oklahoma.

Clemson defends and I'll be surprised if anyone stays within 2 TDs, LSU included.

You know what's funny about Clemson? All these people talk about how they haven't beaten anybody, their conference is soft, they barely beat North Carolina, blah, blah, blah!

But when it comes time to talk playoff seeding, nobody wants to play Clemson in the semifinals! Which is it, boys and girls? It cannot be both!

I’ve really grown to watching the Army/Navy game as I have gotten older.  

[Siouxperkick]

A couple upsets that I foresee happening this FBS bowl season: 

1) #17 Memphis over #10 Penn State 24-21

2) #3 Clemson over #2 Ohio State 34-30

3) #24 Virginia over #9 Florida 27-17

4) Kansas State over #23 Navy 30-23

5) #18 Minnesota over #12 Auburn 23-21

Oklahoma looking like Sooner Schooner when it rolled.

49-14 LSU at the half.

As an OU fan this is embarrassing and I wouldn't be surprised if OU is left out of any of the playoffs in future years. Pulling a UND and not bothering to show up to the game.

Playing Devil's Advocate, LSU dismantled Georgia in the SEC title game and Georgia is a good team. Nobody has been able to solve their offense this year. And I don't know if Clemson or Ohio State will be able to either.

Ohio State up 10-0 and getting the football back, 6:00 to go 1st quarter. Unfamiliar territory for Clemson, let’s see what they are made of.

OU played like they got dressed in tents.

They have responded quite well, game has turned since that targeting call.

The Dobbins drop on the screen play was also pivotal.  I think the targeting call was correct, can’t lead with the helmet.

Amazing football game, a heavyweight brawl.  Clemson remains the champion until proven otherwise. The 16 day break couldn’t come at a better time after that. I wouldn’t bet against Clemson.

I'll bet on this first grader from Centennial Elementary in Fargo

As you should...

I think Clemson can hang in there with LSU, if Lawrence can match Burrow (which he is more than capable of doing)

[SiouxScore]

Heck of a win for the Gophers over Auburn of the mighty SEC. Most impressive thing was how well the Gophers played in the trenches, especially the OL down a starter in Faalele against 2 likely 1st round picks.

[SiouxScore]

That Rose Bowl setting is just so awesome. Game has been pretty back and forth with plenty of swings as well. Should be a good finish.

[SiouxScore]

Things have gotten a little feisty between Oregon and Wisconsin in this 4th quarter.
