Ok so if Florida State finishes this off, ask yourself is the reason this discussion about the injured QB also mostly happening because of the teams everyone wants in over them? Texas and Bama are huge brands. If this is say a brand like TCU, Purdue, Oregon State, etc with one loss are we really having this discussion?
If roles are reversed, and it’s Bama down to their 3rd stringer and FSU, NC State have the 1-loss, the media is saying it shows how tough Bama is to grind out a game against #14 team in the country with their 3rd string QB.

I know the media would say that because the exact same situation occurred with OSU in the early 2010s

Is Klatt really trying to make a case to keep undefeated FSU out?
Just caught the end there, so maybe he was saying if FSU lost tonight.

Why does everyone keep talking about injured QBs at FSU? I posted earlier thay tOSU went thru Braxton, JT, and Cardale.
FSU may get blasted in the playoffs but to put GA in over them would be ****** (if FSU holds on).

That's game, 1 fanbase is going to be extremely unhappy tommorrow and I can't say i blame them.

My final prediction is
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama

I think they screw FSU becuase of their QB situation even though they have a championship level defense and the weakest schedule of the 5.

The right answer is Mich, Wash, FSU, and Texas. Games have to matter. 3 undefeated teams, and then its head to head for the last spot between the remaining conference champs. Which weirdly enough, have already played. So we know who wins head to head. Anything else is asinine

It's pretty obvious, Urban Meyer gushing over the D at halftime, Klatt saying how Riley should be backing the Brinks truck up to Phil Parker's house to get him to USC. It's pretty obvious that this D is badass.
Everybody knows that Iowas defense is good. It’s hard to say just how good. First, before tonight they played one good offense and got shredded pretty well.

Second, the “complimentary football” thing works both ways. When a team is up 10-0 on Iowa, teams are absolutely going to alter how they play.

They have played really well tonight after being put in bad positions by offense and special teams. But in the end they are a bleed the clock team that can’t score, and they are down 26. They are going to hold UM to under 4 ypp. That really good. Not dominant, but really good. Unfortunately for Iowa they can’t have very good defense and win against good teams. Especially when they turn it over and have ST problems.

But Iowa’s offensive ineptitude absolutely changes the pace, play calling and chances taken by the opposing offense once they get any kind of lead.

I said the same thing a few days ago. It’s just because it’s Bama and Texas. If this was a bunch of non-blue bloods this isn’t even a discussion.

Give me Washington, FSU, Michigan, and Bama/Georgia. I get that Texas beat Bama, but Bama just beat the #1 team in the country while Texas beat a 9-3 Okie State team.
But Texas beat that Alabama team that beat the #1 team

Okay... biggest question of the night... will KF cry again after the game tonight?
