Certainly seems possible, but lots of time left. And a lot will depend on what type of game Bama / LUS is, if it is a classic 21-17 with someone winning on last drive, then that makes it more liely. If say Bama beats them by 4 TD, then it becomes far less likely
Especially where in this scenario, you are likely seeing Bama / LSU rematch being the first playoff game, as In undefeated OSU finish #2, and #3
Here's a scenario: Alabama beats LSU and runs the table until the SEC Championship Game, then Georgia runs the table and beats Alabama in Atlanta. I guess Bama and LSU would go to the CFP?
Great knowledge, but not quite the answer to the question I was asking - the margin of victory in that game was 17, which is less than 35. Still, that might be the biggest total differential (52 points) between the line and the final score in either direction.
BC was anywhere from a 19.5 to 21.5 (opened at 21.5 closed up a bit) point favorite against Kansas this year when they lost by 24
Wow, I just looked at my watch - the LSU-Auburn game is going to last more than four hours, isn't it?
And it’s a game because LSU has tried to give it away a half dozen times in a have dozen ways
Edit onside kick recovery barely missed
BC has the worst, but probably life-saving loss. The Cocoanut Grove game. They were favored by 28 but lost by 43, 55-12.
Yeah, why didn't the clock stop? NFL rules inside of the last 5:00 in the fourth quarter surely ought to apply in college too, I guess.
Love the man. Really happy to see him succeed after getting unfairly passed over at USC.
He needs a better answer to that question, at least internally, than “we’ll find out in two weeks.”
He really does seem like he is dead out of Hollywood central casting for a Southern football coach. To the point, where they might actually tell him to tone down the accent, because it is so over the top people won't think it is real
Michigan absolutely jobbed by a bogus PI call that negates a UM interception and leads to an ND touchdown.
OK. We’re even.
Edit: Sorta. A phantom DPI in the end zone /= an overturned interception.
Mayor Pete has some work to do at his local community college. Hope he doesn't have to call in the National Guard.
This is great
This is great
