    Did anyone see that hail mary from UCF to beat East Carolina last night? Not quite Flutie-esque but still amazing all the same!

    Whats the big deal there? Nebraska would be a bigger school which has been underachieving for years, much bigger than Kansas State.

    Lee Corso was the only one on ESPN after the UAB VT with the guts to even vaguely intimate UA's culpability in this debacle.

    I hope to God they get a bowl game to go out on a high. It's the least they deserve, but even that looks bleak.

    Wow, 55 yard touchdown CATCH for Trevone Boykin. Is it just me or are there far more plays this year involving QBs catching TDs?

    It just sickens me that TCU play a 2-9 team and are certain not to be passed by the team that beat them even if Baylor destroy Kansas State.

    Yup, TCU destroyed that 2 and 9 team so I guess they're in the playoffs with Oregon.

    Alabama should secure the #1 spot in this game so FSU have to lose tonight to give Ohio State or Baylor a shot.

    The handicap on Bama was -16.5 I would have thought add another 10 point on to it.

    I remember seeing Missouri vs Georgia in Mizz and they were as bad a team I have seen in the SEC that day. They could be blown out here tonight.

    Oklahoma state run a 92 yard put back with a minute left to tie it up. Absolutely crazy speed by the kick returner.

    Punt was retaken after a penalty by Oklahoma State for running into the punter. Oklahoma not half wishing they'd declined the penalty I'd say
    :P

    Bama looking very good just at the right time. It will take a good one to beat them in the playoffs

    Another title for Titletown, Alabama. SEC championships have been rarer in Tuscaloosa these days than national titles. They could well be again before the season is finished.

    Bad day for those hoping the SEC would fall flat on its' face..

    Its hard to see Ohio State moving up into the top four but their win was a real statement last night. To thump Wisconsin like that is just unreal and awesome but who do you leave out after the way the rankings went last week.

    If they truly decide the rankings on a week to week basis then the four that shoud be in, imo, are Bama, FSU, Ohio State and Oregon. Baylor and TCU would be next.

    Yeah I'm pretty certain Ohio States win gets them in now. Big 12 will surely look to adding some teams now and bringing in a championship game, as this whole "one true champion" nonsense looks to have cost them a playoff spot.

    I'll go for Alabama vs Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, Oregon vs Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

    Most of the media outlets are tipping Ohio State to replace TCU in the current top four.

    If this happens there's going to be a lot of angry Texans this evening!

    Well it seems to be a fair solution to a lot of problems. FSU are national champs and unbeaten and if they didn't make it there would be nationwide uproar I think.

    Bama and Oregon are the undoubted 1 and 2 seeds so that leaves TCU.

    If they do it right and then have Baylor v TCU again which would be a very interesting game for everybody I'd imagine.

    Bama vs Ohio State & Oregon vs FSU. Despite winning TCU drooped from 3 to 6 in the rankings.

    #1 Alabama v #3 FSU
    #2 Oregon v #4 Ohio State

    #5 Baylor & #6 TCU

    TCU dropping from 3 to 6 so obviously their cupcake last game really hurt them.

    It's Bama-OSU and Oregon-FSU, polaris.

    I don't agree with the committee but can understand why they went with OSU.

    The selection of the 4th team was going to make a very clear blueprint for future selection committees, by picking a co champion over a conference champion, the committee were downgrading the importance of winning your conference to make the playoffs. Wonder if the big 12 will apply for a waiver to host a championship game with the NCAA after this or will they seek another 2 schools. Could be another conference merry go round about to start off the back of this.

    This is a big big decision for more than this year, it puts very much into question if we will often or ever see more than 1 team from a conference in the playoffs. Which in my opinion is a good thing anyway.

    I do feel for Baylor and TCU though, who probably suffered from small school syndrome a bit here too. I actually think they would both beat FSU and OSU on a neutral field but I guess now we will never know. I suppose they both got new years day bowls anyway so at least they got decent bowl invites.

    On another note Im saddened UAB didn't find an at large home somewhere. I know it wasn't to be expected but you would have hoped the sponsers of some middle to low end bowl would have loved the press they would have got for giving them an invite to at least shut their football program with a bang.
