It’s evident that @Tom McAndrew has a lot on his plate today, so I’ll start this myself. Good idea to take advantage of our cheerful disposition today, if you ask me. Tom, you might see it appropriate to make this an official thread with you as OP, IDC about priority.

BYU 7-21 TTU, mid-third. BYU does not seem to have the kind of offense that would allow a comeback, not against this very quick TTU defense.

Sitake made the in game decision to keep Bachmeier in the game, clearly hobbled and crippled by injury: It was a poor in game decision and it cost BYU a chance to win the game. Sound familiar?

Well, hopefully if ND gets in because Tech shellacked BYU, they have to play them.

They sure are, The disparity in talent in enormous.
Yeah, Texas Tech being in the Big XII is almost unfair with the talent they've bought...their one loss was without Morton
This game is a lot like the first game between these two

Doesn't make Krafty's decision look very professional. Looks like he lucked the f*ck out. As he'd say in private, or just on tape.

Not sure what today's outcome had to do with it. Everyone seems to be in agreement how much better Texas Tech is. Would have been a great upset had they pulled it off but the team that was significantly better won decisively. He'll continue to build the program. Tough to criticize 11-2 with both losses coming to a top 4 while you're playing a freshman QB in year 3.

Yeah, and ND >> BYU as well, surely.

Greatly appreciate it. I had about 5 minutes to spend on the board today, until all the other things on my plate got finished a short time ago.

Blocked punt and a pick in the first quarter, not looking good for Bama. Bama's D need to come up big now

And an interception. Honestly, I see Bama as at least the equal physically to Georgia but you can’t allow these plays to happen.

When I was a lad I would obsessively read and re-read sports books. From “Instant Replay,” Jerry Kramer wrote: “Sometimes you just lower your head and shove. It’s a simple game, really.”

Notre Dame fans beside themselves with glee, most likely.
It's tough because I want ND out
I don't think the committee will penalize Bama for splitting with Georgia though
ND feels very safe--it was really BYU that was the concern IMO
Maybe if Duke wins they push Miami ahead of ND so the ACC isn't left out causing a riot but...doubt that.

Boy, an easy out on 3rd-and-two for Bama, just a bad pass. Dang wow B-A-D.

TTU is so far above all the other teams in that league. Kudos to their coaching staff for meshing all of those portal players into an excellent team.

I guess the coach’s rule is…

Dis Penn State….get blown out in your conference championship game.

Works for me!!!
Was Deboer channeling CJF going for a 4th and two inside his own 20 with just under 9 minutes left? I guess the analytics say go for it at that time? Reeked of desperation. Blew up in his face. 28-7 Dawgs.
