2020 College Football Discussion and Pick 'Em Thread

[7,052,770]

#11, #23, and #24 all fall to SEC teams with losing records.

But the SEC is overrated this year, right. Why do people say this every year and turn out to be wrong every year?

...ignoring the shellackings received by Florida and Auburn.

Well yeah, nobody wins 100%.

However, Florida and Auburn's opponents finished higher in their conference's standings than they did. But so did Georgia's, Mississippi State's, Ole Miss's, and Kentucky's. Very good performance from the SEC this bowl season (like basically every year).

Steve Sarkisian will indeed be the hire for the vacant head coaching position at Texas.

Looks like I was wrong again.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I will pick whoever dfw doesn't pick.

Do you guys (dfw and Donerail) want to PM your picks to me and I'll post them before the game?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Well, somebody has to do it.  I'll pick Ohio State.

[Dereich]

Alabama 38
Ohio State 27

[Never Made it to Graceland]

I will rep my scarlet and gray and pick Ohio State for this matchup.

I'm risking everything, my 100% accuracy rating.

[Santander]

O-H!

[Never Made it to Graceland]

O-H!

I-O!

[Terry the Fat Shark]

I will pick whoever dfw doesn't pick.

Picking Alabama fwiw

[GeorgiaModerate]

O-H!

I-O!

(To the tune of the Seven Dwarfs marching song from Snow White): I/O, I/O, the bits go to and fro...

(It's possible I've been working with computers too long.)

[Donerail]

rolling with the BUCKS

[Dereich]

While everyone here has been focused on Georgia, DeVonta Smith won the Heisman. The first WR to win one since 1991.

I hate Bama but you love to see a non-QB/RB win it.

[Dereich]

Michigan just gave Harbaugh a contract extension.

While I think he's a good coach, the decision is pretty hilarious when Michigan fans have spent months calling for his head.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Just a reminder: don't forget to pick the national championship game, if you want to.  So far I have:

Alabama: Dereich, dfw, NY Express

Ohio State: CraneHusband, Donerail, GeorgiaModerate

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I'm going with Alabama

[Never Made it to Graceland]

F*** Alabama.

[Alben Barkley]

Why?

Anyway, this was a good game, but kinda starting to look like Bama will run away with it. We’ll see.

Because of the great things he was able to achieve with Stanford and the 49ers? You aren't defined by one point in your career.

Alabama 38
Ohio State 27

My apologies in advance to the Tide for a large underestimation of how many points they'd put up...though at the current rate I'll get my wish about them dropping 70 on THE Ohio State.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I haven't entered this discussion, but Justin Fields is just like Cam and Lamar Jackson, he is no different can run with the ball but when it counts can't pass it. He is gonna go down in defeat, too bad

[Dereich]

However bad things are for you right now, you can at least be thankful that you are not this guy:
