This Weekend's Conference Title Games

[SFbayCane]

Since the Canes aren't playing this weekend and we need a distraction for a few days for UM Management to sort through the AD search, lets chat about this weekend's conference title games.

Great week and matchups

 

[aelmiami]

OSU and Cincy win and Bama loses so we can have actual drama bout who gets in the playoff. Until Bama inevitably gets in because of the better quality losses.

Pitt and Wake in the ACC title game. Wow. Great job, Manny! Way to meet preseason expectations with one of the most experienced teams in the nation returning. You deserve an extension.

 

[SFbayCane]

My quick thoughts:


* I like Oregon over Utah - rematch games in college football favor the loser of the first meeting

* Dont sleep on Iowa.

* App State fixin' to win their conference. (bring back Manny!!! tee hee hee)

* Will Houston spoil Cincinnati's cinderella run? Wouldnt surprise me. They haven't lost since opening day.

I guess Coker is happy to see the program he started come of age. Too bad the Roadrunners are not playing the Wily Coyotes

pretty sure @Liberty City El has mentioned them for maybe a few YEARS now, but Bailey Zappe and Jerreth Stearns from WKU will be a fun watch against a really strong UTSA team

 

[SFbayCane]

I'm expecting UGA to steamroll Alabama this weekend. That said, if Bama wins the SEC stands to gain an additional $15 million in revenue if both Bama and UGA get into the playoff.


This is reason #9724583674 why I prefer the NCAA handle officiating and take it away from conferences.

Cowboys have been fun to watch for years but their defense always lets them down. Want to see them finally put it together.

Think Michigan wins but I’d take Iowa and the points.

Pitt-Wake in the ACCCG: How tf did we not get there this year

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Move to a real time zone and then post the schedule.

Kent State

Can’t imagine watching a game at 9 am.

 

[Canes Legacy]

Would hate to see Bama and UGA get in again. Prefer UGA to beat Bama and then choke in the playoffs.

 

[AutoCANE]

Pitt Wake Forest. What a blockbuster matchup and incredible advertisement for the ACC and its football prowess.

 

[SFbayCane]

Food for thought:

Pitt put both themselves and Wake in the ACC title game by beating Clemson.

 

[Mnhurricane]

I think the Harbaugh curse strikes again leaving them on the outside looking in. I honestly think Houston may be a better team than Cincy RIGHT NOW with how well they have been playing since the opener

 

[CaneLife93]

What happens if Alabama loses, Cincy loses, OSU loses, Michigan loses, and Oregon blows out Utah. Does the committee consider putting Oregon in the top 4?

Why would you do such a thing?
