Any Seminoles buy block tickets for home games? I wanna start hitting up FSU home games. Tally is a very easy daytrip, Gville isnt. Blah blah balh rivalry blah blah blah. I honestly dont really give a crap about that stuff in real life. College ball games are fun, Period. So lemme know if someone has a extra tickets I can buy from them.


Added bonus, because I actually am a dirty ass indian; I've got lots of war regalia I can wear to a game.

I agree. I think A&M will be much more consistent this year. They were good last year.....just not consistently good.

A little more experience, a little more depth, and hopefully a better defensive scheme.

Chavis won't have the NFL early draft defensive prospects (with a few notable exceptions) this year like he did at LSU, but I'm eager to see what we can do with what we have.

I'm moving back to the Lone Star State in just over a week.  I can't wait to be able to attend more games!

With flights and dog boarding I could only go to a couple a year.  Now I just have to buy season tickets off of someone.

Anyone know of companies in the Houston area hiring mechanical engineers in aerospace or entry level positions at energy type companies?

That game ending field goal by Baylor had repercussions that carried all the way through college football last year.
TCU wins that game and the eventual National Champions don't even make the 4 team playoff.

Agreed....mostly. There would have been a bigger group,screaming  to keep FSU out.

This. FSU was in no matter what. Tcu was out after the last week of play when they factored Baylor's win over k state in, and Baylor was out when OSU beat the #13 team 59-0 on neutral ground. Iirc Baylor didn't play any OOC team from a major conference so OSUs loss didn't look as bad. Also, recency bias helped with that loss. If the big12 had a championship game tcu or Baylor had won they'd be in as well.

As far as more is better, 8 teams is perfect 16 and teams are considering benching starters in November and you'll have 10-3 national champions. Blasphemy.

Just of shits and giggles...



16 team playoff last year by CFP committee rankings.
Alabama vs Missouri (replay of their last game)
Oregon vs Arizona State (In conference game, yawn)
Florida State vs UCLA (anyone think UCLA should be in the discussion?)
Ohio State vs Georgia (I'd watch that )
Baylor vs Georgia Tech
TCU vs K State (another in conference rematch)
Mississippi State vs Arizona
Michigan State vs Ole Miss.


I like watching football as much as the next guy but that is 3 conference games.

Was anyone wondering last year after the SEC title game if Alabama was better than Missouri?  Does anyone care to see if Baylor is better than Georgia Tech?  Does anyone want to watch FSU win a game in the playoff?

Any system that would allow two teams from Arizona is clearly flawed.

I was working during the TCU- Ole Miss game, I watched the gamecast thing live and saw the highlights but....I watched the whole game a while ago and had a few takeaways.

1.  Ole Miss's offense was really bad and/or TCU's defense was really good.
2.  Boykin is not that good.

 He threw at least a couple interceptions that were just awful.  He scrambled on something like 3rd and 10 and went down a yard short to avoid a hit.  He threw bad passes all day including 50/50 at best jump balls and forced them into double coverage, one was picked, one was stolen from the DB by the WR for a TD and another was such a poor pass the wrong receiver caught it for a TD.

Was I the only person who thought he got very lucky?

Don't get me wrong, TCU wins anyways and I enjoyed the game but it looked like it was a few coin flips away from being more like 28 to....well, still 3...or 0.  (speaking of, that Ole Miss player clearly fumbled)

Also if my career doesn't work out I know I can always go back to school on scholarship to play QB for Ole Miss, apparently they won't just take anyone, they'll also make you a starter and captain of the team.

I agree
I was an advocate of 16 teams at the beginning of last year.
I now believe 8 teams is what is needed.
8 out of 128 is not too many.

The CANES had seized the momentum by the end of the 3rd, had just scored on a 9 yard run by McGahee, and Miami's defense had held OSU's offense to fewer than four yards on three consecutive drives. Miami was driving for the go-ahead score when McGahee went down. OSU was anything but dominating at that point. OSU was a tough, talented team. You deserved that trophy...but OSU fans like to pretend like it was a one sided game, when in fact OSU was fortunate to win. Congrats.

I'm curious to see where they land this year.  Depending on a few things they could be better, could be worse.

IMO, the lesson to take away is that a 4-team 'playoff' is hardly much different from the Mythical National Championship or BCS days. The lesson is that a valid playoff ought to have 8 teams, minimum, to be a credible playoff. Maybe not 16. Maybe 12, with top four getting byes. But certainly 8, not 4, teams.

It definitely needs to be 8.  


Looking back, I think there isn't a single team in what should've been the top 8 that couldn't have won it all.  OSU proved you could be an underdog and win it all.


I said this all last year (you can look through the thread to see it).....there wasn't a single one of the "top teams" that I though FSU couldn't beat.....and in the same breath, every single one of those teams was also capable of beating FSU on a given Saturday.  


It's why you need a playoff. Because the best team will consistently rise to the top and find a way to win.

To be fare, I was still in the 2nd quarter when I made that comment.  I hadn't watched that game since it aired live (besides the controversial penalties).  I don't know anyone that says OSU dominated.  It was a great game, packed with future NFL talent.  OSU fans get upset when the people bust out the asterik with the late penalty call.  I doubt OSU wins 3/5 of that matchup but then again I think they win 3/5 against '06 gators.

#5 is going to whine hardcore about not getting a bye.  Also I think if you go beyond 8, maybe even beyond 4 and people are going to want 1 less game during the regular season.  1 less cupcake game might not be bad but 1 less conference game would be awful.  We'd lose a lot of the regular season.  The new matchups gained might be more competitive but not everyone's team is going to be making the playoffs.  Hell, over a decade Michigan would lose at least a season worth of games.

Actually, watch the game again.  He did really good and his stats are on the border of "great".


Maguires biggest drawback is he lacks the finesse of a threaded pass like Winston had He DOES have a huge arm capable of 30+ yard passes.  Golson has that finesse as well (I think) it just wasn't showcased as much I think because of the Irish coaching.

#5 is going to whine hardcore about not getting a bye.  Also I think if you go beyond 8, maybe even beyond 4 and people are going to want 1 less game during the regular season.  1 less cupcake game might not be bad but 1 less conference game would be awful.  We'd lose a lot of the regular season.  The new matchups gained might be more competitive but not everyone's team is going to be making the playoffs.  Hell, over a decade Michigan would lose at least a season worth of games.

That game ending field goal by Baylor had repercussions that carried all the way through college football last year.
TCU wins that game and the eventual National Champions don't even make the 4 team playoff.
Think about that.

Agreed....mostly. There would have been a bigger group,screaming  to keep FSU out.

The lesson to take away is there should be a true champion.  An actual true champion....not just a slogan.

IMO, the lesson to take away is that a 4-team 'playoff' is hardly much different from the Mythical National Championship or BCS days. The lesson is that a valid playoff ought to have 8 teams, minimum, to be a credible playoff. Maybe not 16. Maybe 12, with top four getting byes. But certainly 8, not 4, teams.

Take the playoffs to 8 teams and If its necessary to reduce the number of games then drop the conference championship games.
Sure they are good games but the playoff games would be better.
A lot of the conference championship games also have the possibility of being repeat games.
The Pac 12 championship game last year, Oregon vs Arizona was a repeat of a regular season game.
If the Big 12 had one then TCU and Baylor would have played for a 2nd time last year.
That's whats wrong with conference championship games vs playoffs. Who wants to watch repeats when you could have great matchups that otherwise you might never get to see.
I would much rather have watched TCU play Oregon in a first round playoff game than watch Oregon play Arizona for a 2nd time.
Bama vs Baylor would have been better than Bama vs Missouri.
A lot of people consider the conference championship games the first round of the playoffs and I guess they kind of are as they can have an impact but the matchups are not always the best.

San Diego State's new unis are badass. This is taking a motif and going all the way with it.

Name a player you think will impact the season. Not just one game, but someone who will be a crucial part of the team. Obviously doesn't have to be a heisman caliber player (as that is almost as much politics as it is talent).

For FSU I think it will be Jalen Ramsey. Kid is hungry and just waiting to tear up receivers and make game changing plays.

Hard to say on offense, a lot of young talent.

Defense Kahlil Mckenzie, kid is a freaking beast and definitely doesn't miss out on leg day!

On the right

Really? Guess I don't follow enough to agree/disagree.

I would've thought it would be Cardale Jones.
