Watson got MVP of the game obviously.
No Mr. Pibb is an unseen sight for me.

Naw, that should go to that ACC ref on the offsides kick.

Any chance because of the flag Clemson goes to #2?

He deserves to be drafted by either the Browns or Redskins

No. At that point, they were still up 8 and Carolina would have been at midfield with something like 1:19 left. They had been moving the ball, but a score is not guaranteed and then there's the 2 point conversion needed. Odds were still high that Clemson would win.
Edit: I mean, the committee could still make the call for Alabama, they can do just about anything, but I doubt the botched call would be the deciding factor.

I don't trust the committee.. That's why I say it.

You can't put that evil on us boy.
Cook's usually a good dude in interviews and whatnot, but yea that's a really dick move. Not sure what he was thinking there.

Fixed. Johnny Football trolling you guys

Incredibly gutsy last drive by MSU, and an amazing finish by Scott. By December 31st you gotta think Cook will be healthy, and they'll get a couple other guys back on defense. I definitely think they'll win their first matchup.
Don't see how Bama beating a bad Florida team would justify them leaping over a Clemson team that just beat a top ten team. Granted I don't think Clemson is great but still, they didn't do anything to lose their #1 spot.

But really, I think 3 and 4 could almost be a coin flip anyway, so it really doesn't matter who is 1 or 2. And Alabama will be at the Cotton Bowl and Clemson at the Orange, either way.

I doubt Clemson will move from #1. Nothing happened today that would justify it.
I have no idea how 2-4 will get ranked though.
It's not really fair to simply call Florida "bad." Their defense is ranked in the top 10 in the country almost every metric. Their offense and (to a slightly lesser extent) special teams are not good though.

Nah theyll leave Clemson 1 and move the rest to get the matchups they want if anything.

And Justin Gilbert..
Plus the legend of Trent Trunk, Weedumb, and... all of the others...
It never ends.. It never gets better.. It will never be okay...

I bet it will be Alabama-Oklahoma and Clemson-Michigan State, and they'll use whatever numbers they like to get those match-ups.

Had the insides call not gone down like that at the end, I'd say Clemson would have stayed #1. Now, I'm not so sure. I doubt it will change anything, but who knows how the committee takes that?

I see Alabama and Michigan State Cotton Bowl, Clemson and Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, given that OU has no conference championship game they go down to #4.

Watching the two Arizona RB recruits right now. Both look impressive
Randolph Freelander

Well, I was thinking of stuff the committee says they don't consider but enough people believe they do.
A north/south final would probably be preferable for television, and Alabama/Michigan State would be the better outcome, I think. So split those 2 up. It's still not guaranteed, because Clemson is a good football team, but I think a potential SEC/ACC matchup in the final is also a good fallback plan. Plus, Oklahoma and Clemson met last year in a bowl, Oklahoma and Alabama are naturally close to the Cotton Bowl, and Sparty gets rewarded with a trip to Miami and gets out of the cold.
So call me crazy, but the final rankings will either be Clemson / Bama / Oklahoma / Sparty or Bama / Clemson / Sparty / Oklahoma. Either way, same semifinals.

I'd find it kind of funny it they went for a north/south championship with that split, because I'd fully expect it to end up being Clemson/OU.

well, we thought this would happen with Alabama/Florida State but it never did, so...

Over/under on how long it will take before he explodes on a ref and gets ejected?

Watching Cali CIF Highschool football PAC 5 championship and it's 55-31 @ the half.

Honest question, does the ending of the UNC/Clemson game result in penalties being challengeable/reviewable?

In the end, I'm glad I can forget about the 2nd quarter shenanigans with our punter/ penalties.

I dunno. Do you want four and a half hour games?
It should, but it won't because the NCAA is garbage.
Pattycakes

Well most games on CBS already take four hours, so that wouldn't be changing much.

CBS could just show commercials during reviews. They seem to show them every other opportunity they get.

We went to the gator bowl one year, and I guess CBS was televising it. Anyway, I couldn't believe how many commercial breaks we had to sit through. So much worse than Espn.
Didn't NBC do that game for a while? I know CBS has had the rights to the Sun Bowl for as long as I can remember (though I have no clue why).
I can't believe SCAR did that.

For football, refs are employed by the conference, not NCAA. It would be up to the conferences to give up that control and go to the basketball model where refs are regulated directly by the NCAA rather than individual conferences.
The rulebook is the NCAA though.

There is Mr. Pibb here as well in VA.
Probably in shock that he got the award considering it should have gone to Calhoon or Scott.
Yeah, I doubt it was intentional, but it was a bad look. That said, I would hope he would go apologize in person if possible. (And I assume it would be.)

This shit right here. Huge Clemson fan but I have so much respect for UNC after this game.
Drank a bottle of Jack, time to sit on my roof and sing along to bjork songs all night
Clemson finally ran the table!

Well this is the 2nd year in a row I want none of the teams to win. Alabama has already had too many Nattys this decade, MSU winning would cause the B1G to go back to back in national championships which would further falsely inflate that conferences perception. Clemson winning would put an end to Clempsoning, and fuck OU.
Better luck for me next year I guess
I was watching that last night and knew it would be made into a .gif
Just so much material there. The choppy neck beard, the boy chewing on his student ID, Lloyd Christmas. THEY WERE ALL STANDING NEXT TO EACHOTHER
The raise the roof guy is the one that gets me. Just pure brilliance.

I dug up my predictions from the off-season thread and it was ugly
At least I got the Pac-12 matchup correct, just not the winner.
