    So, four "upsets" in this round so far, right? Teams ranked 8, 7, 6, and 5 advance to semis?

    Ehh, I’ll allow it for one year. But they’re definitely gonna choke it away or maybe not even show up against OSU.

    I expect Ohio State to beat UT handily. They have the horses to do so. Maybe UT raises up several notches but I doubt it.
    As a graduate from a B1G school, I despise OSU with a passion but loathe the SEC even more. Very hard to take side.

    It's funny all of the higher seeds with byes lost. 5 vs. 8 and 6 vs. 7.

    Nobody outside of Pennsylvania wants to see a James Franklin team struggle to score 10 points in the natty.

    Yeah, cuz the loser of the regular season matchup never goes on to win against the same team in the playoffs.

    You new to this sports thing?

    Some B1G haters in here.

    That's ok, you will see the ratings break all-time records by miles if it is B1G vs. B1G for the National Championship.

    Maybe I’m wrong but I would be surprised if UT vs Notre Dame did not have higher viewership than Penn st vs Ohio st.

    No disrespect, but you would be wrong. No one will ever find out how wrong because there is no chance in hell that UT is beating Ohio State. Hopefully it is at least somewhat competitive.

    You also seem to not be fully aware about the power of the B1G all across the country. Sure, Notre Dame has a decent sized following all over the country, but not nearly as massive.

    The SEC is dominant only in the South. The B1G totally dominates the West, Midwest, and East. Much larger scale.

    So to be clear, you expect Penn state to win if there is a rematch?

    After living on the east and west coast, I can assure you of two things:
    • Nobody on the east coast north of State College, PA cares about college football
    • Nobody on the west coast cares about college football outside of their immediate alumni bases.

    James Franklin's record against Ohio State is 1-10.

    "To be clear" The "rematch" of Ohio State vs. PSU would be a bigger draw than UT vs. ND.

    You implied the game will suck because the 2 teams matched up a few months ago under totally different circumstances. And on top of that, the early November game came down to 4th down on the 1 yard line as being the 7 point difference in the game.

    EVERYONE including you will want to see PSU vs. OSU after Ohio State beats Texas by at least 20+. And Penn State walks all over Notre Dame.

    B1G vs. B1G

    The proven 2 best teams in the land. 2 SuperPowers for all the marbles

    It doesn't get any B1GGER than that for the Natty.

    Anything can happen, don't you watch sports?

    BTW do you know of any good Packers boards? Would love to create an account on one that only discusses Rockets basketball and SEC football.

    How about you and others stop responding to the clown by putting him on ignore? He's playing you like a violin. Stop being so gullible and wake up!

    Right now, and I hate this, OSU and ND look like the best 2 teams.

    ND's defense is a whole lot better than I thought (at least their front 7)

    I'd take the under with PSU/ND and the over with OSU/UT, not knowing what either of those are.

    My dream matchup is ND vs UT

    Am I the only one who didn't know about the postgame mayonnaise dump on the winning coach of the Duke's Mayo Bowl?

    Gross!
